SCIENCE ON FARM

Canadian Tillers of the Soil Have
Proved That Old Days of Hap

Agriculture in Canada has the sta
rus Of profession which both its high
standard of operation and the prime
place it occupies in national life justf
fy. The days when land was casually
filed on and farmed without any in
telligent understanding of agricultural
processes are going with the dwindling
availability of the land, and rapidly
passing Is the epoch of the destruc-
tion of soil values, and the abandon
ment of farms which have been rem
dered unproductive. Clearer and clear
er has become the realization that
farming is a specialized profession re-
quiring special training, and in the
place of this spoliation there is an
intelligent system of crop rotation,
preservation of the virtue of the land.

farmers calling and a determination
to secure and achieve the best pos
sible in everything.
The Education of the Farmer.
Agricultural colleges, experimental
FARMS government literature, railway
propaganda, all in an appreciation of
the national benefits which accrue,
contribute to the education of the
farmer who, if he starts out in igno-
rance, speedily discovers the futiIity
and profitlessness of continuing in
this state. 1t is only of comparatively
recent years that farming in Canada
has become the comprehensive and ex-
haustive study it is and its tenets
been so widely absorbed, and older
farmers who have followed haphazard
methods or systems scientifically un-
sound are gradually forced from Deces-
sity into an intelligent study and ap-
plication of their profession.
This brings US to the city man who
is anxious to leave his old life for the
greater freedom of the country and
take farm for himself and. the fore

far behind the older farmer if he take
up the study of his work seriously,

FAILURES LAST WEEK.

A sharp increase appeared in fail
ures In the United States last week,
defaults numbering 7is. This conf
pared with $40 insolvencies the pre-
vious week, but some part of the
difference in number is due to the
fact that the past weeks returns
include figures for one more business
day than was the case the previous
week. There Is also a large increase
over the 514 failures reported to r.
q. DIN and Company for six days
in this week of 1921.
OF the past weeks defaults, 425
involved liabilities Of $1,000 or more
in each instance. which Is equiva-
lent to 59.I per cent of the aggre-
gate number. This is a lower ratio
than was disclosed the previous week.
when there were 333 such insolven-
cies, or 61.7 per cent of the total
The statement for a year ago showed
256 failures for $4,000 or MORE in
each case. the ratio consequently be-
ing 49.S per cent.
Numbering 81, defaults in Can
ada last week compare with 73 the
previous week. and a in this week

STEEL OUTPUT MAY GAIN

Production of First Quarter of 1922 Probably
Will Not Exceed That of the
Past Three Months.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 15.--Steel in.
got production by the thirty COM
panies that make monthly reports
to the American Steel Institute was
1,427,os3 gross tons in December
and 1s,S26,946 tons for the calendar

Production of steel ingots by the
industry as a whole was at the rate
of about 20.000.00O tons a year in
December, against a rate of 23,00p.-
900 tons In both October and No
vember, making the rate for the
three months about 22.0o0.0O0 tons,
the highest rate since the preceding
February.
Production of steel ingots in 1921
was approximately 1s,5O0,O00 tons.

and about 10000, 600 tons in botn
1912 and 1913. BY a margin of 20
per cent 1912 and 1918 were the
two best tonnage years before the
war. as the previous record was
$4,000. 900 tons, in 1910. Thus the
1924 production may be appraised
variously. according to the View
point From still another view
point, the total production of steel
ingots from the beginning to Janu-
ary l.. 1921, was about 100000. .0O0

Iron and Steel.

; The prospect Of renewed de-
mand from the automobile industry
enters more largely into the calcu-
lations of steel makers. While the
first fortnight of the new year has
developed no especially significant
business in any quarter. early ac-
tivity was not expected, and re-
suits thus far have not been gen.
orally Disappointing. A slight de-
cline from the December rate of
mill operation is noted at both Steel
Corporation and Independent works,
the principal producer averaging
about 46 per cent, and price con-
cessions have not wholly disap-
peared. Published quotations. how
ever, disclose few further revisions,
the prevailing condition being one
of increasing stability of markets.

the prices of year ago reveal

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Buying of

operations OF the governments re-
lief committee. The United States
could easily export at present zoo. /.

equal the record exports of ISI,-

the. total crop. which were made in
1901. The crop of that year was
2,06S, 100000 bushels. about a third
less than the present yield. and
domestic consumption then amount
ed to 1925. .697, 900 bushels. In 1913.
when there was a bumper yield OF
3.125,000.000 bushels and the second
largest crop ever raised. the ex-
ports amounted to only 50.7S0. 600
bushels. and domestic consumption
exceeded 3,000,oo0,00 bushels. The
crop of 1921. according to revised
figures. is 3.0s1.ooo. 900, the third
largest on record.
Consumption on Farms Heavy.
Consumption of corn on the farms

count of the low prices, and ii Is

latter, than to market IL through

Many farmers claim a substantial
profit from feeding operations.
Buying of corn for export in the
first two/days of this week amount

speculative trading is responsible
for the stubbornness of the market
in not responding to export buying.
.CaIendar' selling Pressure.
About twenty years ago E. A.
Driver. a large grain operator.
made the discovery that usually
around January 10 the prices OF
grain softened under liberal mar
keting by farmers and a slacken-
ing of the export trade. thus max
ing it safe to operate on the short
side. He followed out this discov-
cry by selling grain early in Janu-
airy and around the middle of Sep
tembCr and accumulated a consider
able fortune.
A few traders made memoranda
of the dates when IL was time to
buy or sell grain and have handed
thc'n around to the trade for the
y: gt twenty years. They are still
REGARDED as almost infallible. On
January and 10 all markets were
subjected TO increased selling pres
sure and with poor buying support
prices declined. There were also
other conditions to make a decline
without the calendar" selling pres
sure, as the trade terms IL. Outside
business had slackened and the
falling off in general trade made
markets susceptible to weakness
with any increased selling pressure.
The latter offset the effect OF all
tullish conditions. such as light Of
ferings of cash wheat. high prem
iums, and a fair milling trade.
