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.

There was a coni- plete lack of this now. Mr. Carrothers said also there was a waste of education- al. funds in the province be. rause courses nearly 100 years old were being forced on many. students who. lacked aptitude for the work. Many of the students were not yet university material, yet - they were taking courses so de- pigned, he said.

Spend Twice As 'Much on Movies As On Higher Education in Canada, Statistics Show Canadians spend twice as much on movias as they do on higher ed- ucation, a statistical study of uni. versity and college revenues mada by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics discloses. ) The amount spent on higher edu- cation in the Dominion for the pre- vious academic year {3 estimated as being approximately 17 million dollars. Three times this amount is required to produce newspapers and magazines-in Canada. +17 MILLIONS YEARLY While there are wide variations ln the souTces of revenue in the various provinces, roughly speak- ing for the whole of the Dominion one-thicd of the 317,000,000 for the higher education comes from pro- vincial grants, one-third. from stud- ent fees and the remaining third from endowment income and mis- cellaneous sources.
