For the third successive 'year, a new high record of tobacco production in Canada ' was reached according to data com- piled by 'the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The harvest was one of 109,846,000 pounds from 01,0356 acres. MORE This was an FLUE-CURED eight per cent Increase over the 101,394,600 pounds of 1938 from 83,6756 fcres. The most marked expan- sion was in the fluc-cured acre- age, especially in Quebec, Bur. ley tobacco in Ontario and pipe varieties in Quebec also had a 'larger acreage. There was a slight decrease in the area. plant. ed to cigar Icaf, An increased outlet was found for the flue-cured tobacco in Britain .in 1939, when exports reached a new peak of 26,684, 783 during the crop year which ended September last.

This has re- sulted in a serious problem for which there is no' immediate solution in sight, reports the bureau. At present, the prospects are for a carryover of a surplus of abuot 30,000,000; pounds into the crop year of 1940-11 of flue-cured tobacco alone. A planned decrease in acre- age this year is indicated. po . Should Revise . School Studies - Associated High School Boards of Ontario Hears A Great Many Courses Are 100 Years Old C.
