A conference of representatives of the National Research Council, the Dominion Departments of Agri- eulturé and Trede and Commerce, the Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Departments of Agriculture, the Canadian Horticultural Council and the principal potato growers of the 4 Maritime Provinces was held ir Ot- &b £3 i a ~ Research Council, appoint a "tatoes and food "Including particularly the food va- 'and the National "duets. _ ence. '4aWa on December. 16th vto discuss 'ways and means for using 'he sur plus 'of over 7.000,000 bushels of | potatoes on hand this year. The 1934 potato crop in Canada §s placed at 78,735,000 bushels an increase of 7,494,000 bushels over the production in 1983, The princi- pal export markets for Canadian potatoes are the United States and Cuba but high tariffs and other handicaps, recently imposed, pre- vent the normal movement of the Canadian product to those coun- tries, Another factor that aggra- wates the situation is the gradual de- eline in the per capita consumption of potatoes in Canada which is now about four bushels per year. In the United States it is only about two and one-half bushels per person, On the agenda 'f the conference, for discussion, were new uses for "Canadian potatoes, such as: for con- »fectioners' ~ glucose, grape sugar, * syrup, starch, potato flour and pota- to chips and suc) "non-edible products as laundry starch, dextrine, glue, "gum, alchol and in making foundry "moulds. Other means of disposing of this. surplus are _ and canning of potatoes; the use of 'potatoes as food for live stock; the preservation the possibilities of extending the market . for Canadian seed potatoes; market possibilities both foreign and dom- i estic for commercial grades; pro- "'blems of transportation and the .pos- . sibilities of increasing consumption : of potatoes by advertising. It was recommended that the , chairman of the conference, Dr. H. { M. Tory, President of the National com- mittee consisting of representatives of departments of the Dominion Government to draw up a research programme on new uses of potatoes, -the preservation and canning of po- values generally, lue of potatoes and the claims made in advertising for various foods and diets. It wag stated that such" a 'programme of research might be - undertaken jointly by the Dominion . Department of Agriculture, the De- PENI ment of Pensions and National ealth (Food and Drug Laboratory) Research Coun- ceil. -. It was stated that certain of the investigations projected held out definite promise of valuable re- suits. Xotatoes, ® was said, could be substituted for corn now import- _ed in manufacturing millions: of "pounds of a variety of food. pro- Dr. W. Gallay of the Na- tional Research Council said: his calculations showed that the entire present" Canadian potato. surplus _might be so used. The possibility .of using potatoes for the manufac- 'ture of alcohol was discounted. If | «the alcohol so produced was to "be "used with gasoline 'it was stated that the price of the mixture would be approximately three cents above the present market price of gasoline 'j£.10 p. c. alcohol were used, and would require. compulsory legisla- tion. Such compulsory legislation was in effect in other countries, in- cluding Germany and Czechoslova- kia. The Director of the Commercial intelligence Service of the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce, re- ported that the Department, through its Trade Commissioners, was mak- ing a survey of the potato export possibilities in various countries, but the information so far received did not offer very much encourage- n.ent. ' Certain anomalieg -in freight ra- tes were pointed out to the Confer- For example, the rate for carring potatoes from Halifax to Bermuda was 16 cents per barrel higher than for carrying potatoes from Bermuda, to Halifax, Nether- lands ships were carrying potatoes to the West Indies at from 50 to 63 cents per crate as compared with a rate of 60 to 65 eents which wag open to Canadian shippers. Hol- land, it was stated, was subsidizing the expor's of potatoes to the ex- tent of tariffs placed against them. Dr. H, T. Gussow, Dominion Bo- tanist, told the conference that * while 89 per cent. of the potato pro- duction of Germany was used in feeding live stock, only 11 per cent. of the Canadian production was so used. © A report of the discussion is be- ing 'prepated to serve as the basis of further discussion. A program- me of research and investigation is to be carried on.

If this experiment proves to be a success, it is possible. that similar lighting may be placed on portions of other provincial highways. Hon. Leopold Macaulay, former minister of highways, brought back the idea with him after his visit to Europe in 1933. He reported that such lighting was used on many highways there and had resulted in decreased numbers of accidents. The Hydro Commission has been giving the proposal consideration for some time, and a few weeks ago in- stalled such lights at an important intersection. in Toronto. ~ The four lamps have a capacity of 10,000 lumens each, 250 watts, and they are reported to cast very little shadow, thus reducing traffic haz- ards. The lamps on number 8 highway aie 300 feet apart, and are placed at a height of 23 feet above the ground. They extend out over the povement two feet. The Hydro engineers report . that a test has shown that one can read a newspaper with ease 150 feet away from the light, or midway be- tween two lamps. It is hoped that if the scheme proves feasible, the erect- | jon of such lamps at dangerous corners may reduce fatalities. Double Celebration: For Aged Couple --_ 9 Kingston. Ont. -- An unique oc- casion for Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Ar- nold of the village of Roblin in Len nox and Addington counties was re- cently celebrated. It marked their 78th wedding 'anniversary. Before the Dominion of Canada existed as such, they were married in Napanee on Jan 1, 1867, Confed- eration year, by Rev. John Clark. Shortly after they settled on a farm at Selby, retiring to Roblin 10 years ago, Mr. 'Arnold is 88 and his wife, formerly Polly Ann Hartin, four years younger, Although not in the best of health they live alone and Mrs Arnold has complete charge of her household. ' Four daughters live near them. They are: Mrs. Waler Dodge of Selby. Mrs. John McFarlane of South Napanee; Mrs. William Ram- say of Newburgh and Mrs. Kenneth Weese of Centreville. A fifth daugh- ter, Mrs. George McFarlane, died several years ago, They. have one son, George Arnold of Sharp's Cor- ners in the Roblin district. Members of the family and friends were present at the Arnold home for the combined wedding an- niversary and New Year's Day icele- bration.' Hay From Canada For U.S. Northwest .

You must cater to his wants." So says the Blackpool gen- eral secretary of the British Feder- ation of Hotel and Apartment As- sociations, in his annual report.

An Editor's Secrets An occasional newspaper column writer, who used to be a daily column writer was telling his readers the other day how he did hig writing, His excuse for telling them, as he maintained, was that there was a considerable public curiosity about it. \ He said that he went about all over the place for 16 hours a day, taking notes, on little nondescript bits of paper, of things he saw and things that people #aid to him. Then, he said, he came into the office and he read his notes for an hour, Then, he said, he sat down to his type: writer, and in anothat hour, he had the thing done, complete. Then, he said, he went home to bed. We remember thinking as we read it that it was a free and care- free renderihg of a method of newspaper composition undoubted- ly authentic, especially the bit about going home to bed. Ve are unable to report in more austere place a similar lile curiosity abgus the more regular newspaper W the creation of their bits pieces. We have found, for our part, we are sorry to say. the al- most universal incidence of a popu. lar delusion. It seems to be assum- ed--if the thing is worth a mo- ment's conjecture at all---that you just sit down to your typewriter and, hey, presto, the bit 'or piece is accomplished. "All these columns of printed mat- ter which appear in the paper day by day, which are first of all visi- ble in time and space as writings done by the hands of writing men and women, they are just so many fortuitous rabbits out of the magi- cal: journalistic hat--that seems to be the general idea. . But we -shouldn't be making this mild complaint if it were not that making it permits us to say some- thing that has long been waiting to be said aboutweoffice visitors. They are the people who come in and, by all their speech "and conduct, infer that you are not writing un. less you are actually slogging away at your typewriter. In fact they infer that you Aare "1 see you're not working," they say, or, "I se® you arg not busy for a minute." Sometimes they want to know what you do with yourself in a newspaper office when you are not writing. "What does the editor do," said one of them, God bless his heart, "besides writing the edi- torials?" Well, there is no making any headway against a popular delusion of this sort. We might as well own up to it that we just sit down to our typewriters and write whatever comes into our head. If we sald that we took notes for 16 hours a day (like a column writer); we shouldn't be believed. If we said that newspapermen sometimes had to read as well as write, somebody would say "What for?" We think we had better put "30" under this, and go home to bed. Sets New Record Alberta's Beet Sugar Indus- {ry Shows Remarkable ~ - . Growth. Raymond, Alta.--With increasing faith in an industry that this year has brought them a record crop of 179,000 tons and which may net them $1,000,000, farmers have begun plowing in preparation for the 1936 sugar beet crop. Early cultivation will prevent soil drifting. Each successive beet crop has es- tablished a record since the indus- try was established in southern Alberta in 1928 but this year's in- crease of 30,000 tons is the greatest in history. It is believed the indus- try will mean the distribution of $1,750,000 in the district this year and net the refinery here approx- imately $2,000,000 if the wholesale price of sugar proves reasonable. Last year farmers received a to- tal of $6.38 per ton for their beets. This consisted of the $5 per ton base rate and three bonus pay- ments during the year totalling $1,38 per ton. Returns this year to farmers will depend on the sugar content and the average wholesale price of sugar between now and next October when the last of the crop will be sold. Present sug- ur content averages 17 per cent. compared with 18.41 per cent. in 1933. It is estimated bonus payments on the present crop will net farmer's $850,000. Firmer prices before next October will swell total earnings to Are You Sluggish ? - Ta Throw Of Energy:Stealiog Impurities, enjoy a glass or two each week of Energizing, Effervescent ANDREWS LIVER SALT In TINS--235¢ and 60¢ EXTRA LARGE BOTTLE, 75¢ vn the $1,000,000 mark.

The factory expects to produce more than 50,000,000 pounds of sugar valued at approximately $2,000,000, INSECT ENEMIES OF CANAD'S FORESTS Damage Is Estimated At "$10,000,000 Annually that the "There is reason to believe the average annual damage to forests of Canada, caused by in- sects, may approximate in value that caused by fire, which averages nearly $10,000,000 annually" said R. D. Craig in a paper read at one of the sessions of the conference of officers of the Dominion Entomo- logical Branch, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture held recently in Ottawa. Mr. Craig's paper was entitled "The Forest Resources of Canada--Their Protection Against Inseet Pests". Continuing he said that the loss to the forest wealth caused by in- sect pests constitutes a most se- rious drain on one of the most val- uable of the Dominion's natural re- sources. The extent to which in- sects can carry on their work of destruction is not = readily realized by the fort authorities, nor by those engaged in the forest indus- tries. He emphasized the econo- mic value of the work of entomo- logists, and said that in his opinion the introduction of parasites, as a means of biological control, is pro- ving one of the most effective means of direct attack, and main- tained that great credit is due to the Dominion Entomological Branch for what has been done in this field. Fungi is_ also another cause of great loss in the forests. The forests of Canada cover 1, 150,000 square miles, or about one- third of the total land area of the country. The stand of merchant- able timber is estimated at 165,- 880,000 cubic feet, valued at $1, 689,000,000, The young growth is placed at 400,000,000 cubic feet. Fron the standpoint of forest eco- nomy, it is most important to pro- tect the young stands of trees from insects, fungi and. fire, the three principal causes of loss, for the fu- ture of the forest industries de- pends on these young trees. About 82 per cent. of the accessible timber of commercial size is coniferous trees, 11 per cent. is intolerant hard- woods (white birch and poplar) and séven per cent. tolerant hard- woods--yellow birch, maple and elm. eee eee.

Mr. Bilkey reviewed factors mill- tating against any important altera- tion during the past year in the fundamental conditions> which lay beneath the world-wide depression, such as political upheavals and recurrent threats of war on. the continent of Europe; collapse of efforts towards universal disarma- ment and uncertainties surrounding developments in the Far East and continued "It is scarcely surprising, therefore, that a recent estimate of the gain in world trade based upon the exports of 19 countries has amounted to only five per cent. since the low point of the depression was reached. "In these circumstances, the eco- nomic grains actually registered in Canada in 1934 were all the more noteworthy. They were significant of the ability of the Dominion to so employ its own resources as to at- tain some measure of immunity from commercial debility prevalent elze- where." Mr. Bilkey found large increases in the. physical volume of business, in external tradé, including higher exports of newsprint, pig iron, steel, ete, and an encouraging rise in volume of reveune freight carried by the railways, The improvement, however, was by no n.eans general. There w any lines of business it failed to reac: and a very large number of individuals derived no benefit from it. Generally speak- ing. therefore, the psychological re- action was disappointing.
