japans wheat plan success completed 2 years ahead of schedule decided in 1932 tokio the japanese govern ments fiveyear wheatgrowing pro ject inaugurated in 1932 by the min ittry of agriculture and forestry to enable the country to supply its own requirements of th5 cereal has achieved its objective two years ahead of time estimates submitted at a con stitute in tokio of the chief officials of the wheat encouragement bureaux in the various prefectures showed the wheat crop in japan this year will yield 44819900 bushels while the estimated consumption of the country is 45000000 bushels in 1932 when the scheme to en courage the farmer to grow more wheat and to teach them how it was put into operation the yield was 32- 488800 bushels from a planned area of 50871c cho 1246354 acres the planted area this year is 647723 cho 1580921 acres last year the yield was 40265200 bushels from 016476 cho 1510366 acres since the domestic crop is now practically equal to consumption the officials have decided to relax their efforts to increase production and to concentrate their attention on effect ing improvement in quality although bread by no means sup plants rice which remains the staple cereal it has been popular as a food for several years and army regula tions prescribe mixir wheat with rice before boiling it for soldiers rations the wheat constituents counteract the tendency of polished rice alone to cause beriberi com tjivethe most burning up the country during the recent dry season for est fires have been raging in various arts of nova scotia we venture that there are comparatively few within this constituency who have ever seen a fire in action in the woods dis tricts observes the victoriainver ness bulletin writers have depicted the prairie fire of the west the prairie fire is a babe in arms compared with a for est fire a forest of fir hemlock and spruce aflame is a veritable inferno when the balsamy spills of the bushy trees burn freely the wild flames sometimes cover a frontage of miles reaching from the underbrush on the ground to far above the tree tops this vast fiery furnace at times travels faster than a horse can trot wild animal life is wiped out valu able timber destroyed and frequently in its course homes and whole vil lages are razed and lives snuffed out the fury and roar of a forest fire will never be forgotten when once fxperienced the fire in the forest never starts ef itself it practically always is started by some human agency oc casionally the fire gets away from a farmer burning refuse on his own property some of the most dis astrous fires have been deliberately set by persons desiring to burn over a barren to induce the growth of ber ries then too there are the ac cidental fires growing from camp fir es left insufficiently cared for or the earless match or burning cigarettes thrown aside by those passing through the woods there are perhaps a huidred and ono ways that forest fires arc start ed but practically every one is avoidablo by ordinary care there are license laws whereby the government can always know all parties who have been in any forest where a fire has been started the utmost effort to locate and convict every one re sponsible in any way for a forest fire should be put forth then severe punishment should follow the setting of a forest fire should j bo in the catagory of

property has good possibilities of developing a ton nage of profitable gold ore readers of this column may wonder why a substantial proportion of it relates to the mining industry and mining companies there are several reasons why the writer has largely confined himself to this phase of financial matters not the least of which is the fact that a very substantial percentage of ontarios population is interesed either directly in the mining industry or indirectly through their holdings of the shares of mining companies no matter where one goes mining appears to be a subject of common interest secondly news regarding industrial concerns is largely a matter of conjecture as only a very few companies give out information except at the time their annual report is published while progress reports from the various mining companies are in many instances issued a number of times during the year the third reason for the preponderance of mining items is the fact that the industry has during the past decade developed into one of the dominions most important assets and leading financiers business men and government officials have openly declared that the industry has been the largestsingle factor in aiding business recovery and it has helped in maintaining a sound credit position for the dominion proportionately equal to that of the leading nations of the world in addition the mining industry provides employment for more workers than any other single class of industry with the possible exception of farming finally but not the least important is the fact that boom conditions existing in the industry have resulted in the placing of large orders for electrical and mechanical equipment chemicals explosives and other mining necessities which in turn has lead to manufacturers increasing their staff car loadings have increased and the industry has also provided new outlets for agricultural products over one hundred million dollars were paid in wages and salaries in 1933 by mining companies and the writer is of the opinion that almost every com munity in this fair dominion of ours has benefited in some way from the activities of the industry it has also been responsible for the influx of millions of dollars from the united states great britain and other coun tries these reasons in the opinion of the writer arc sufficient to warrant preponderance of mining gossip in this column duche of york digs for potatoes when tho duke of york was un able to visit sheffield because of a poisoned thumb the duchess took his place at a group of allotments where unemployed men

monetary control tho reason for this is that higher silver prices lend to cheek trade with the far east where cheap money that is cheap silver has ten ded to facilitate the export of goods a silver prices rise china becomes a more important exporter of the white metal and chinese silver ship ments already have been of sufficient bulk to keep the london price of bul lion from rising in ikimal

however that from some effects of tbo silverbuying program there has followed a weakening of the us dollar in europe this has led in turn to the export of gold in effect then tho united states will be
