investigate the subject referred it to Prof.

all castor beans, but that one of those
matters Is an acrid principle which acts |

UNDER the act of Congress offering
l60 acres of land to any person who
would plant forty acres of them to trees
and cultivate them for eight years, about
1,l0O persons had taken up 40, 900 acres
OF land in Minnesota, up to January.
This was an encouraging effort, consid-
ering the brief space of time elapsing
after the amendment of the act. BY the
effort of the State and private and asso-
ciated effort, it is estimated that 2O,-
oOO,OOO trees are now growing in Mime

Congressional act. A report on the sub
Ject says that the cost of planting and of
cultivation is marvelously small, in many
cases not exceeding from two to five

The Cry for More Money

The cry of "more money is al
most as old as trade itself. Adam
Smith had to meet it in is day.
Il" No complaint" he says, lis

ity of money. Money, like wine,
must always be scarce with those
who have Meth r wherewithal to
buy it, nor credit to borrow it.
Those who have neither will sell
dom be in want of the money or
the wine which they have occasion
for" Mr.. Haldimand, in his test
imony before a Parliamentary
committee in 1919, said: "When
people feel distressed they will al
ways say that they want money
at the same time, if you louble
every man s money they would
all remain relatively in the same
situation and be equally distress
ed" Lord Overstone, in his ;tsti-
mouy before Parliamentary tom
mittee in 1857, insisted constantly
on the difference between money
and capital. People think" he
said, that whenever they want

Their issue of notes, notes are rapi-

these notes under system Of reg

regulation by which they are to

case of this country at the present
time the primary need is neither
money nor even capital, though
an Increase of capital is never an
