point m public es timation and confidence that it seems comparatively immune from the or- dinary vagaries and fluctuations of other lines of business the sun life assurance company of canada whose report appears elsewhere in this issue seems to enjoy this public confidence to an unusual degree for it reports new policies written during- the year to the net amount of over 700 000 000 the largest

brought to light some interest ing fads about this rapidlygrowing industry per capita consumption of onions in canada in 1930 was about ten pounds in other words this means that a total of 100 000 000 pounds so 000 tons or some 2 000 car loads of onions were eaten by oana- dian people this huge quantity came principally from two sources cana dian gmw produced 29976 tons and something over 2o0o0

president of the sdn life assurance company of canada this year it celebrates its diamond jubilee a graphic picture of its pro gress is shown in the report which discloses decade by decade its growth from assurances in force in 1880 of less than 4000000 to over 2800 000- 000 today and of an accumulation of assets from less than 500000 in 1880 to nearly 590 000000 at the pres ent time even more striking is the fact that the company has paid to policyholders and beneficiaries since its organization over half a billion dol lars more than its entire assurance in force only ten years ago this is almost maglral and helps to epiw the widespread faith of ordinary men in life assurance from the standpoint of investment as well as of family protection deforest crpsley radio victory series new

watte and improvement in marketing methods are some of the proposals contained in the report of the hon t l kennedy minister of agriculture to the government which are likely to be embodied in the form of legislation at the session now in progress one of the chief difficul ties confronting the department has been the conversion of farmers to the need of improving their market ing methods and generally departing from practices in vogue before the era of competitive progress the minister hopes to put agriculture on a basis where it will produce higher quality products at less cost for in
