Canadian Wheat. Stands in: the Markets of the World In a recent statement before the Royal Grain’ Inquiry Commission at Winnipeg, James A. Richardson, presi- dent of James Richardson &. Sons, Limited, and also president. of the Winnipeg ‘Grain . Exchange, declared that. “the repuiation. of Canadian wheat on the world’s market was nev- er at any time in our history higher |, than it is today.” Mr. Richardson quoted a letter from Charles Y.

It reflects the very greatest credit on the department that controls the grading and upon the graders wfio carry out the instructions given.” _ Cost of Forests Many private owners cannot afford to raise forests because there is no ncome from growing timber. Land suitable only for timber growing, should be exempt from taxation dur- ing the growing period. Rocky lands, lands too poor to cultivate, steep hill- sides and swamps might thus be brought into cultivation. Cutover lands might become suitable invest- ments for life insurance companies and others willing to wait a long time for a new crop to grow.—The Chicago Tribune, ———_——— I've found spends ‘his Anne.—I am so happy! out where my husband evenings.
