Shipments of potatoes from the States of Pennsylvania, \V:,st Virginia and Maryland must be ac- companied by a certicate stating: that they have been grrown 0ui.sicle quarantined areas and have beeni found on examination to be free! from wart disease.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS To provide education for the chil- dren in isolated sections of the north, it is proposed to ret an ordinary .Canadian National coach as a port- able school. Both the school and the teachers in bhis wtay could be moved from one part of the country to the other. The railway is co- operating with the provincial govern- ment, and test trips are to be made shortly. A Warning; has `been issued to par- ents -by the town officials againsl`: al- lowing children to run the streets with wagons, `scooters and kid-drie cars. One young; lad was `run over by a car on Elizabeth St. on Satur- day aternoon as he was across the road in a little wagon, and only escaped serious injury by the sheerc-st of good `luck. The childrenl dart out over busy crossings with the greatest ind.if`t'erence to aultIom:o- biles coming and going along the streets, and with the heavy summer , traffic coming` on, should be restrain- ed from doing so. Statistics show that there exists an alarming death rate among; chil- dren under the age of one year. And doctors seem to agree on this point, that mothers, quite uncon- sciously, do not take the necessary precautions to ensure the conserva- tion of the lives of their babies. In support of this theory, let us men- tion the case of the city of Thedford Mines, in the county of Megantic, province of Quebec. In that city, which has a population of 8,000 souls, 306 children under the age of one year, died in 1917; 279 in 1918; 219 in 1919; 300 in 1920. It was then that the Metropolitan Life sent nurses to Thetford Mines, in order to take means to bring about a re- duction in the mortality rate. An educational campaign was started among young` mothers and expectant mothers, and appropriate care was given to babies. As a result of the work performed by these nurses in 1921, the death rate was `brought down to 196; in 1922 to 140, and in 1923 to 96. iiIl1eNnrtl12rnAhnann> Winter wheat acreage in fteeni countries of the northern hemisphere in cluding Canada, the United States and India, but excluding Russia, is estimated to be about 2 per cent. floss` than that of `last year, but grow- ling conditions in most of the areas ghave been so favourable that the_ irst forecasts indicate increased pro-l lduction.
