In the Canaries.

In the Canary islands Las Palmas,
the part of Grand Canary. is usually
the first place of call. An occasional
visit is made to Teneriffe, pictur-
esque island full of green gOrges that
stretch away between the hills that
front the harbor. and possessing a fine
peak about which raptures are said to
be permissible when the mists allow
you to see it. Las Palmas is not so
attractive. The hills that rise from
the sea behind the town are brown
and thirsty looking, and the land
looks waterless and poor. The '''''rle
scene has a curious air of unreaiity.
The town itself looks like an en-
larged toy shop, and the hills have an
odd artificial appearance.

Music as Health Aid.

Doctor Saleeby. the British eugenics
advocate. suggests that the new min
istry Of health should have a special
department; to deal with recreation.
The dcpartment should take London
choirs and choral societies singing, in
which all could engage. In his view
this department would keep the young
persons off the streets and out of the
saloons.
A scheme for confederation Of
London choirs and choral societies
with the idea Of directing the masses

ings instead Of the senseless mafiick-
ing that was in evidence on armistice

The Presidents action in recon-
mending an enlarged program of
rural development" is significant of
the ever growing Importance which
, the farmer has assumed in the ma
tons economic and social life as
we'll as in politics.
Secretary Houston in recent ut
terance expressed the presidents
idea concretely and in some detail
when he emphasized the need of
thorough understanding by the pub
lie of the problems and conditions
of agriculture such as will insure the
payment of fair price for every
agricultural product. Agriculture,
declared the Secretary, must receive
the encouragement which only an
adequate return upon both labor and
capital can give
present conditions, and particu-
Iarly present states of mind, indi-
cate the need of fresh broad sur
vey of rural life, of it's special prob
lens, and of its relationships" Sec
retary Houston said. "a comprehen-
sive flexible program should be de-
veloped for the guidance of the diff
fcrent agencies, each of which has
its peculiar functions and respon-
Iaibilities. Furthermore, the priinci-
Piles and purposes governing agri-
; cultural life and agencies should be
sci forth for the education of the
American public. especially the ur-
ban part of it. The nation needs a
fuller appreciation of its basic in
dustry, and a more definite sense
of direction in its efforts to foster
it,"
The president intends ealing an
agricultural conference soon, if cur
rent advices be correct. Prophecy is
premature, but it is not too much
to say that better day is dawning
for American agriculture. Cohesive
organization, wisely directed, will
do more to improve the position of
agriculture than all other forces
combined.
Canadian opinion differs as to the
probable volume of wheat exports
to the nUited States following re-
moval of the government embargo.
The Saskatchewan Cooperative Ele-
vator company, representing $4,000
farmers, at its annual meeting urged
the Canadian heat board to forbid
the passage of wheat across the
