Canada's wheat crop for 1924 Is
estimated at 31S, $40, 900 bushels, as
compared with 474,199,0 900 bushels
last year. according to a preliminary
report of the Bureau Of Statistics.
The yield Of oats is placed at 423,-
$4,000 bushels; barley, 66,217 900
bushels, and f1axseed, 6,135, 900. This
is only a provisional estimate, and
with sufficient moisture and good

THE ALABAMA SPORTSMAN"

The first number of The Alabama Sportsman, published in Birmingham, a monthly magazine devoted to conserva tion, .sportsmanship and recreation ir all Its phases, and the upbuilding of Ala bama's supply of game and fish, as set forth on the cover, is an interesting publication. Its slogan is, "Save Out door Alabama" which, properly appre- ciated and observed, would do much to rebuild a rundown asset that would mean much to the people of this, state. The first number contains several thoughtful articles by sportsmen and others interested in outdoor life and con servation, including "The Program and Policy of the State Game and Fisheries Department, by Commissioner Quinn 'The Alabama National Forest" by Su- pervisor Lufburrow; What Fishing Camp Owners Can Do Toward Maintain ing the Fish Supply" by Carson Gun ningham, and What to Do to Bring Back the Quail, by Henry Upson Sims, carrying. some valuable suggestions.
 The publication should prove a stim. ulus to the work of conservation. There is no better territory in the country for the development of this broad field of service than Alabama. There are fine opportunities for the establishment of splendid fishing and hunting conditions, and for other factors tending to preserve and improve Alabama wild life.
 It is believed that this work can be successfully done with the cooperative aid of the sportsmen, friends of the great outdoors and conservationists both through education of the people and by securing properly enforced laws. The Alabama Sportsman is designed to bring these influences and interests into an eff fecpve working agency to foster and advance these worthy aims and pur- poses.

THE TREND OF EXPANSION

While continued activity over @ long period in the realty market of Birming- ham demonstrates the faith which the ! people of this community hold in the op- !! portunities for development and profit ] in this field, it is interesting to note that this activity is not confined to any : particular section nor to any special char acter of property. The downtown dis trict for quite long period has main tained a strong demand for business sites; yet many sales of building lots Tn the most desirable residential sec tions, as we'll as in more moderate priced sections, and in the outlying districts, are reported every day or two.
 Prices in the business district not only show tendency towards advancement, but many of the sites purchased are part S@ extensive construction programs NeSther the temporary slight depression in Business which developed recently from seasonsa and political influences, nor the sustained high cost of building materials and construction work has shown any material effect in curtailing the building operations. Not only the many structures under way, but those projected for early construction, are contributing generously to sustained business activity, which in some measure accounts for the small increase in unem- ployment.
 An interesting feature of the realty development is the trend of expansion towards the northeastern and northwest ern sections, especially the former, which were, until recent years, almost excll- sively residential districts. This devei- opment in no sense means a tendency to- wards removal of the retail center from its present location. It indicates that expansion which accompanies the growth of population with proportionate oppor- tunities and larger demand for increased business facilities. It represents growth, rather than change of existing condi- tions. Birningham's immediate shop ping district is admittedly restricted as compared with the large and increasing population, To take care of this in- crease, ;, there must be developments such az are contemplated by the build ing and planning now in process.
