canada trade brantford expositor reports from al parts of tiie do minion aftord the most convincing proof that canadas outlook for the future is steadily becoming brighter remarkable progress was made in many directions in the year just closed the exports of canadian pro duct were valued at 570800000 in the available period of 1935 compar ed with 32o00000 for for the cor responding months of 1931 this in crease while by no means spectac ular is considered satisfactory eight of the nine groups of the chief classifications showed gams the shipment of atimal products increas ed by 18 per cent textile exports showed a gain of 283 per cent sub stantial advances were also reported in wood and paper products which reached the relatively high total of 142000000 the iron and steel groups recorded an increase of 294 per cent there was also a gain of 11 per cent in the output of electric energy in brief commercial and in dustrial activities throughout the entire dominion revealed a gratifying expansion the general improvement resulted very largely from the easier trade relationships with other countries both inside and outside the british empire one of the most conspicuous factors was the increased purchasing power shown by the agricultural in dustry as the result of higher prices and wider markets for its products this manifested itself in all the channels of business throughout the country and even greater thing are looked for in this direction in 1930 as an indication of the general pros perity tho value of the securities listed on the toronto stock exchange

throughout the dominion aggregat ed about 300000000 which con stituted an alltime high level canadas progress is based very largely on the prosperity of its primary industries including agri culture forestry mining and fish eries if these maintain the expan sion gained in 1935 with the in creases that are anticipated in addi tion the dominion should enjoy the greatest volume of industry and trade experienced since the depres sion began much is expected from the reciprocity treaty with the united states which provides a wider outlet for many primary pro ducts and also from the adjust ments which are to be made in the imperial trade pacts canadians cer tainly have good reason for confidence and courage in 1930 a tfiy evcrv still growing mother should know and observe never give your

while written specially for the review and addressed to residents ul minto township particu larly we believe they will be found interesting to many of the readers of this paper because the problems of the farm folk of minto township are the same problems that confront rural people throughout the pro vince a few weeks aso there passed away in the person of thomas madigan the first vilte child born in jlinto township he was s3 years old which means that his parents likely came- in about the year 1s51 rein the oaiii sound road entrance before the township was surveyed the township was surveyed by charles itankln of owen sound n 1853 and in 1s54 there was a public- sale of the land rut settlers bad come in before this win reynolds and geo lyons came in in 1s51 and probably tbe mulligans preceded them the harrisons wilkin fer gusons and hells came in 1s31 the brides in 1854 and john livingstone and win lemon in 1s55 so minto is setting on in years what hosts of people have come and gone from its farms what a hist ory could be written of every one of those farms the clearing the log shanty and barn the roadmaking tie logging bees the births and marriages and deaths the first school and the- early teachers the new house and the barn raising lio emigrations to the west and all the triumphs and failures all the joys and sorrows that mortals experience in this queer world i have often wished that all these histories might be suitably recorded before it is too late and carefully preserved in the public library it would be a very well worth while work for ihe schools of the township and the history department of the higi school some of the township womens institutes have done com mendable work in this connection it is to he hoped all such work is kept in well bound scrap hooks so that it may be available cor ihe childrens children of minto pioneers but it is minto as it is today that i want to set forth here not so much about its people as about ts lands and its agriculture develop ment i am quoting the figures as they are given to the census statistics reports prepared by government according to the map minto an area of 113 square miles were not not counting wool eggs and animals private sales was 3ig5 figures are not given for other sales from the farms including milk j fruit wood grains seeds hay petal- 1 oes turnips so one can only guess what the total
