CANADA BUYS ALASKA FISH
European War Has Made Neehbor an
Extensive Purchaser From the
Northern Fishermen.

"Fhe European war has made Can
ada an extensive purchaser from the
fishermen of Alaska" remarked T. f.
Ryan OF Montreal Al The Willard.
only recently the Canadian govern
ment placed standing order for l.
00o,0oo pounds of halibut from the fish
packers of Prince Albert.
The slack season IN halihut fishing
is now on, and only the larger fishing
craft are in operation. The standing
order for 100000 pounds week is
the incentive fer the operation of the
large fishing bouts, but even these
are unable to meet the order of The
Canadian government The weekly
shipments are falling below the re-
quirements of The Canadians. In the
last season fishermen encountered no
difficulty in filling the government or
der. and all were therefore prosperous,
us the other markets easily took the
surplus catch.
"AH shipments of fish are sent di-
reetly east over the Grand Trunk, and
many fishermen from the American
side have disposed OF their catch at
the Prince Rupert market"

Wood grown in the farm wood lot

like other farm crops timber requires

The aim of this article is to point out
methods Of caring for the wood lot
and improving it So as to make it pro-
duce the largest and best crop of which
it is capable.
The woed-lot crop, like any other,
should be judged by its quantity and
quality. To secure full stand of
trees of high quality, therefore, should
be the farmers aim. Fortunately, the
quality of timber is very largely de=
termined by how dense the stand is;
that is, how close together the trees
are. To be of high quality, timber
must be, to considerable proportion
Of its height, free Of limbs which are
The cause of knots; it must be tall;
and it must not decrease rapidly in
diameter from the butt to the top of
the last log. In dense stand Of tim
Der there is considerable competition
for sunlight among the individual trees,
with the result that height growth is
increased. Trees in crowded stands
are taller than those in uncrowded
stands of the same age When the
trees are crowded so that sunlight does
not reach the lower branches, these
soon die and become brittle; they then
fall off or are broken off by the wind.

Neutral nations cannot escape some

in the worlds markets have advanced
in general from 80 to 100 per cent.
Even the most backward peoples are
taking advantage Of the war situation
to exact enormous profits. For Eek
ample. the natives of Haiti and ia
maica, Charlton Bates StraXer writes
in Leslie's, are demanding and get
ting three times as much for their
logwood as before the war, while the
indigo growers and merchants of In

more graSping and are getting ten
times the former price of indigo. 1t
is in foodStuifs, however, that the
shoe pinehes the tightest. In the Unit
ed States the high cost of food is the
most pressing problem of the hour
The New York Association for Improy-
ing the Conditions of the Poor has
found that the price of % staple foods
shows an advance of 80 per cent, from
November, 1915, to November. 1916
There had been. of course, consider
able advance prior to 1915. The Ma
tional Association of Master Bakers
of America announces that of the 80
600 bakeries in this country 20 per
cent have been compelled to go out
of business since the outbreak of the
war on account of high prices of
grains. Flour at $50 barrel is pre-
dicted before the winter is over.
