navigation closes without a bang cost of relief in provinces varies from the fort william timesjournal there are many who look back over the years and expect that na vigation at the head of the lakes j port an unemployed person in will still close with a bang j tario and 152 in prince edward they recall the days when for island with 5652 the average for all ottawa wide variations in november relief costs in different provinces were shown in figures re leased recently by the federal labor department it cost 762 to sup- on governor congratulates tourney winner two days before the expiry of in surance on lake vessels elevators were working twentyfour hours a day and the employees were lucky if they got a chance to geta short snooze in a corner of the big house the noble army cf trimmers reaped a harvest then but at the cost of much loss of rest and after forty- eight hours continuous work in the holds of the vessels of the grair fleet they emerged just before he clocks showed one oclock fcrt william time that is midnight central standard time grimy dustcovered redeyed and weary but happy in the know ledge that every boat that should be cleared before the hour struck had her lines ready to cast off from the wharf the millions of bushels that they had trimmed during the last few days had earned them enough to spend on a very merry christmas the storage space at the head of the lakes was limited and it was essential to have as much room as possible ready for holding the grain that would come down from the west during the winter it will be recall ed that in one year a big vessel bailed for the east as late as christ mas day canadian grain had not as heavy competition as it has today and europe had not adopted the policy of economic nationalism it was therefore advisable to have as much canadian wheat as possible in export positions in the east water transportation was the cheapest and advantage was taken of it until the last possible moment the closing of navigation this year forms a sharp contrast to the closings in those early years in stead of every available man being pressed into the service to load and trim the fleet of grain boats the last day of navigation saw on ly one ifctle boat clear from the bar ber with less than 100000 bushels of wheat and this was sent out the day before the actual expiry of the insurance on hulls and cargoes the cny semblance of a grain rush this year was on the day before the summer insurances rates expired when twenty boats went down the lakes with about five million bushels since then there has been no mark ed effort to get grain away from the bod of the lakes and today al though insurance is still available until midnight the harbor is tied up a few vessels are here but will spend the winter here most of them earning their keep by taking on grain for winter storage at export points in the cast from which grain can readily be run down to the seaboard there is enough wheat to take care of all the export trade that is anticipated this winter the allrail business cf western can ada have been on the right lines and that the present unsensaticnal move ment of grain is the best for all concerned but these who look back cannot but regret the spectacular aspects of the close of navigation when it was a race between manpower and the clock and calendar and when the work for these few days was a real test cf human endurance as in the case of the western harvest modern improvements have detracted from the spectacular side of the industry years ago one of the striking features of the western harvest was the train after train of harvesters no and turbulent that were rushel through to garner the grain on the prairies mechanical improvements have put an end to the demand for manpower in the har vest fields and these trains are seen no more so too the modern developments of the grain trade have apparently done away with the bang that al ways used to announce that navi gation was

increasing i competition have led the kwantung government to spend vast sums on improvement of the industry and professor dunn has been interested in suggested methods for aiding the development of sericulture on which 30000000 people are dependent in the chinese province many people think silk worms can never be cultivated in cold climates but the theory is wholly erroneous col dunn states essential require ment for proper raising of silk worms is proper food and it has been de monstrated that this can be grown in alberta the worms themselves are kept in suitable buildings where the temper ature can be regulated they have to be fed eight times a day and provid ing the proper food is provided they will spin their precious cocoons if other conditions are suitable replaces the
