It should be "Massi- cot," as set forth in the voyageurs' centracts, but one branch that came to Montreal succumbed to the variation partly through the actions of a Champlain schoolmaster of English-speaking descent through bilingual, and partly through contracts made by Mr. Mossicotie's father with a Scots family named Anderson for whom he werked in Toronto in his youth, SEES NINETY CENT PRICE FOR WHEAT INNEAR FUTURE + Present Season Will Bring Relief make the voyage to Missillimak- | inac~--May 27, 1731, Joseph Massicott had already © made the trip to Detroit in 1720, but this was the first voyage of the two brothers together. .\ third Massicott appears in the voyagoenr JMst; he is Jean, who went to Mis- silimakinac in 1730, and in 1736 went to Fort Ponchartrain du De- Toronto, April 1.-- Prophesying an increase in the price of wheat to 90 cents to a dollar a bushel at ¥ort William in the not distant future, C.

In an interview in Toronto dur ing Mr. Peterson's visit here on a business trip. he discounted belief that Russia could be considered as a serious competitor In wheat pro- duction in the future, and declared that low wheat prices would result in reduction in production with an automatic vise in prices which would again place wheat producing upon a profitable basis, 42 years' experience in farming in Western Canada, during which he has been deputy minister of agri culture in the North West Territor- ies from 1897 to 1902, and presi- dent of the Crowfoot Farming Co., and of Western Stock Ranches, op- erating 25,000 acres east of Calgary with 12,000 in wheat. He attended the Imperial press conference in London, June, last year, where the ! Russian influencé upon marketing conditions was a major subject of discussion. : He believed that Russia would find difficulty in developing present semiarid lands to increase her wheat acreage; that such develop- ment did not lend itself to profit- able production; and that present producing lands were sufficient only for home consumption. Export of Russian wheat this year had been undertaken only for immediate late capital. and would not be continued he said, WANT CHANGE IN CRIMINAL CODE Montreal, Apr. 1--=When youth of between Sixteen and years of age is arrested his parents, if their address can he obtained, should be communicated with by the police and a provision to that effect should be included in the Criminal Code, according to the opinion ex. pressed by the Canadian Prisoner's Velfare Association, National Com- mittee, recently. Several cases had occurred recent- ly in the city courts, it was reported, age being arrested on theft charees, pleading guilty and being sentenced almost at once before their parents knew where they were, with the re- sult that the opportunity of provid- ing counsel had been lost. The as sociation decided to make a formal recommendation to the Minister of Justice as to amending the Criminal Code on these lines, and, further, to suggest to judges that the plea of guilty from youths should not be ac- cepted until their parents or. a wel- fare representative had been consult- ed.

J. B { Collip in connection with sex physi- | ology and sex hormones. His publi- {cations on the ovary-stimulating ihormore of the placenta are widely | known, as are the clinical observa |tions of his associate, Dr. A, D. | Campbell, But the subsequent dis- lcovery of an anterior pituitary hor. {mone in the human placenta is a {new feature. In anatomy. the addition of Dr. [¥. Beattic as an extra professor on a full time basis, has done much tu |stimulate.research. The outstanding {| work has been his investigations on | the spinal sympathetic centres im" | co-operation with Drs. Brow and Long. A historical study of the me- chanism of digestion secretion has been carried on in that department, To meet the special needs of the department of physiology, through |the appointment of Professor Bab- | kin as research professor of physi- | ology, two independent laborator- les have been created, the one up- {der Prof. John Tait, the director ind professor of physiology, and the other purely for research in charge of Prof. Babkin. Prof. Tait and Dr, | McNally have studied the sense Or- | sans of the inner ear, dealing with | equill ym anf other functions Important conclusions have result- ed with respect to oto-sclerosis, pro- gressiy afness, and bone conduc- [tion of sound.

T. L. Kennedy, Minister | of Agriculture, which has already been put under way. Cabinet ap- proval of the move to find a mar- ket in Ontario for Western Can- ada live stock feed has been ob- tained, on grains from Western Canada is that cat- tle raisers do not care to run the risk of pollution of their farms wy using Western' grain which contains a great quantity of weed seeds and wild oats, To overcome this obstacle, Colonel Kennedy has appointed Howard Fraleigh, M.P.P., for East Lambton, to confer with Western Canada representatives as to the possibility of having all feed rains ground in the elevators be- fore being shipped. This would eliminate the risk of spreading noxious weeds, as the geed would be =round along with the feed. "Ontario farmers purchase an- large quantity of feed stock," said Hon. Mr. Kennedy, "Much of this is corn grown in the United States. In 1930 the amount of corn imported into Ontario was over 6,000,000 bushels. It is true that there is dach year a large quantity of grain shipped into this province from Western Canada, but since it has been proved by experiment that barley may be used to re- place corn, a much larger quan- tity of oats is available also, and a much greater quantity should be used to replace feeds which at present are being imported from the United States. "HBconomic conditions through- out Canada warrant that a definite effort be made to induce farms to use Canadian products wherever possible in order that the surplus may be reduced and also that in- nually a for live to the fullest extent," concluded Col, Kennedy.
