where do we go from here james thorp former soil advisor to the chinese government and now with the us department of agriculture believes that it might be a good idea for those folk who advocate unlimited increases in the family to look around and try to find a place for them to live all this is important thorp says because if people cant find homes then there will be wars over who is to live in any given section just as a matter of protecting peace he thinks it might be well to take a quick survey of the unsettled farm lands of this globe here we go in north america there are available sections of canada and of central america but in both the more available farm land is already under cultivation and only by in tensive cultivation or by lowering the standard of living there can more farmers be poured in it is not an easy matter it seems for two farmers to live where one lived before brazil land idle in south america the same story ts true except for areas in brazil the best lands already have been taken in the tremendous land area of brazil which is larger than con tinental united states there are sections where good farm land has not yet been reclaimed europe as everyone knows is crowded but dictators still offer prizes and tonuses for large fami lies while carrying forward their campaign for colonies over the seas africa today has some laud which might be put under cultiva tion but after subtracting the deserts and the tropics in which it is questionable whether mass mi gration of white people would be either possible or even advisable the areas left are not so impressive siberias future uncertain southern asia especially india and china has traditionally suffer ed from overpopulation siberia does not have large settlements it is true but there is no unanimity of opinion among experts that the land can support large groups of settlers the former province of man churia thorp said could absorb approximately 25000000 additional farmers that is one of the prin cipal reasons why japan seized this territory from china the islands of new guinea and borneo large areas of which still are inhabited by primitive peoples offer smaller outlets for crowded populations australia does not have a large population but huge sections of island continent have so little rain fall that settlement on any large scale is impossible unless the pros pective farmers are willing to ac cept the chinese standard of living on rice and unheated houses china offers warning thats the outlook around the world continent by continent thorp who returned to this country only a few months ago after three years in china on soil survey work believes that china offers a clue as to what the united states may be like 500 years from now if present aoil practices are allowed to continue their depleting effects and if population increase is not checked then this country will have the same problems now con fronting china like the chinese americans may deplete the natural resources o their soil within a few hundred years 62 relief families markham twp the regular monthly meeting of the markham township council was held at unionville the session open ed early in the

show an im provement over the previous year and things in that department appear to be running as smoothly as can be expected there is the persistent complaint from those who do not think they are

became a designated trade and who successfully passed the ex amination prescribed by the advis ory committee shall be granted a certificate of qualification on pay ments of the prescribed fee the act also makes provision for the issuing of certificates in cases of repairmen with more than two years and less than five years experience every motor mechanic repairer who fails to pass such examination may try such further examination as may be prescribed by the provincial advisory committee at the end of a period of one year this move will prevent any gener al handy man from putting up a sign
