The decline in world prices of primary products which continued through the first half of 1938 appears to have been checked in the latter half of the year, 2. An increase in the trade agreements, especially thase based on the most-favouréd-nation principte-has-been-a-forwaid step-in{ lessening trade restrictions. 3. Larger supplies of wheat and other farm. products in Canada "will "number of "probably result in a greater volume for agricultural 'exports in 1939, 4.

They made their home where Mr. Orr Jeifrey- now lives: Later they moved to Pickering, then to Myrtle, and then settled at Columbus.

Grains \ 2 1. "An all-time record world wheat crop was produced in 1938. The Can- adian crop of 348 million bushels was the largest since 1932. 2. Carry-over stocks were moderate- 1y higher in August, 1938, and with the surplus over requirements from the 1938 crop, the world wheat carry- lover in August, 1939, will again be close to the record levels of 1933 and 1934. 3. With the. return of a large sur- plus, wheat prices 'have declined to roughly half the level of a year pre- vious. 4. In appraising the world outlook |! for the 1939-40 season, consideration should be given to the fact that some decrease in the. world wheat -acreage is expected. 3 5. Governmental policy in major wheat exporting and importing coun- tries has been an important factor. in determining prices received by row cers in recent years " Ps ictions on world trade] Horses 1. There was a further decline in numbers of horses on farms at June 1, 1938, chiefly in Saskatchewan, 2. Larger foal crops in recent years may bring about a reversal in the downward trend in numbers, 8. Prices . of ~horses after rising sharply from 1933 to 1937 declined in the spring of 1938, but not to the same extent as prices of other farm pro- ducts, - : Beek, rr + 1. Sheep vumbers | in Canada showed a ohio increase in 1938. 2. The movement of feeder lambs to the eastern feedlots was reduced in the fall of 1938. The reduced supply in the spring of 1938 should tend to maintain firm prices. Potatoes 1. The 1938 potato crop of 59.6 "| million bushels was the lowest since 1910. Higher' returns for the 1938 crop will probably result in an increased acreage in 1939. : Myrtle Station The heavy snow storm on Sunday was too much for the members of the Sunday School to face,' and, ag the majority come from a distance; it was not worth while to try to carry on with tire very few who did venture out. We will hope for better weather next Sun- day. Thé Church service in the even- ing was held in the Sunday School room. . Rev. W. E.

The cold and stormy weather was to blame for the small attendance at the oyster supper in the community hall last, Wednesday evening under the auspices of Faithful Workers' Sun- day School class. Those who did go, enjoyed a delicious supper, and a good program which followed. Those tak- ing part were: Mrs. G. Barton and Mrs. F. Beadle, a piano duet; Samuel Fisher, guitar solos; Audrey. Grant, monologue; Doris Magee and Gordon Harrison, a skit--*"Henry VIII and his wives"; Mrs. Beadle and Mjss Fern Stephens, piano duet. A mock wed- ding group created much amusement.

(Modern Héalth Talks) Those who are weak and pale need not remain anaemic if they avail them- selves the right kind of advice and professional guidance, When the term anaemia js used peo- ple think there is something wrong with the blood. That is-true, in a sense, but it must be understood that cles and the glands of the body may be anaemic, in fact' any one of the eight systems of the body may be anaemic, "Anaemia means poorly nourished, and any system may be poorly. nourished. Anaemia is called a blood disease be- cause there is a shortage of blood, or of red blood corpuscles in the blood system, 'This may'be caused in the following way: first, by an accident where a lot of blood is lost by a hem- orrhage from the nose, uterus or rectum; second, anaemia may be caused by a deficiency of certain food elements in the blood, often thought to be iron. But this should be borne in mind, poorly nourished blood means poorly fed tissues which in turn means the whole system is a: i | cancer, there is almost always an- aemia, because the poison from the cancer.destroy the red blood corpuscles leaving a pale, yellowish color to the skin.

The red cells carry oxygen and other elements to the tissue cells, and the white cor- puscles act as soldiers who fight poi- sons that enter the blood stream. There are about ninety-nine red blood corpuscles to every white one. The normal blood of the healthy in- dividual contains about four and one- half to five million red blood cor- puscles to every: cubic millimeter "of blood. A cubic millimeter is a very small: quantity -- probably not more than four or five drops. Hence, you can see, when it is realized that about one-twelfth of . the "body 'weight is lions of cubic millimeters of blood in the human system. The horse and ox have less blood per pound of body 'weight than man. There are two commonly known forms of anaemia; the primary and the secondary. Of the primary form of anaemia we have two varieties. One is called chlorosis, a ¢ondition in which the haemoglobin--or the coloring mat- ter of .the blood--is reduced in quan- tity, sometimes: as low as twenty per -cent:--of normali--This-form-of-blood hunger is found particularly in young girls of an adolescent age. This-con- dition is marked with a change in the dispostion, which may manifest itself as a form of; inelancholy. The com- plexion is of a pale waxy color and the skin at times is puffy.

Cattle marketing to mid Novem. ber, 1938, were materially below those of 1936 and 1937. Further declines in marketings are expected during 1939 and 1940. 2, While marketing of grain-fed of cattle from the Prairie Provinces will be heavier in the eatly part of 1039, 1 | the increase will be offset, in part at east, by a reduction in marketiggs 'from Eastern Canada. 3.
