J. ���������H. B. Smith, of Wolf Creek, Alberta, brings this honor to the Dominion/and the title of wlaeat king of the world to himself. Thus the world's championshrp wheat trophy returns to the Dominion after having rested with a Montana man for two years. Canadians held the championship in 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1928, and the reserve championship tn 1927 and 1928. The winning of this world's championship is not a case of good luck. It is the result of years of careful planning and hard, painstaking study nad ���������work. Such an honor only accrues to those who farm in scientific maimer, reelecting iand sowing the best seed, and from year to year learning the lessons of experience. True, they must have the background of good fertile soil, and the right kind of climate. These, fortunately, Canada has in abundance, s- '' ��������� & Canada's wheat honors are, however, a double triumph for this iKmainion. It was in Canada, and througrh the persevering efforts of a great Canadian, that Marquis wheat was given to the world, a -wheat wfaich. revolutionized the production of this great cereal graia and auded imioid millions to the agricultural wealth of tids continent. Marquis won many prizes. , ������ * This year the grand championship is accorded to Reward wheat, also a Canadian development, or discovery if you will. Canada, too, is leading the world in the efforts put forth to develop a rust-resistnat variety of vflbeat of ths highest mill'ng quality and possessing all the essential qualifications of an early ripening variety, just as Canada has the honor of developing the early ripening varieties now in general use. The bringing back of the world's wheat championship to Canada is a gratifying prelude to the great World's Grain Show and Congress to he held at Regina, Saskatchewan, m 1932. This proposed Grain Show and Congress will be the greatest event of its kind ever held, and the cash prizes tb be awarded for grain will exceed anything hitherto offered at any exhibition in the history of the world. Strong committees representative of the rtom'nion and of each of the nine Provinces of Canada are already at work on the arrangements for this world's gathering thre% years hence, and it ia confidently noped and expected that between forty and fifty countries will he represented not only by exhibits, but by Government and agricultural representatives. All the world's great leaders in agriculture and the most rioted research workers will partiepate in the Congress, with the result that ijhe eyes of the grain growing world will fbe centred on 'Canada, as Jaever -hefore. a aa : Canada is already the greatest wheat exporting country in tfie world, not only in actual volume hut also in quality of product. vEhrery world's championship won serves to enhance that reputation, and the Dominion is placed under a lasting obliga������!on to those farmers who, like rMrySmithaand liis predecessors in winning championsliips, devote their time a?id energies yto; achieve such successes. " - The year 1932 is not very far away. It is not too early, nor is it too late, for many more of our Canadian grain growers ..to lay their plans and begin work with a view* to winning for themselves and for their Province and Dominion the title of "World's Wheat K=ng, 1932. Such a title awarded at tlie Regina Show will, in view of the much wider field of competition, be a much greater title than that awarded annually at the Chicago International. Canada's fanners should vie with one another in friendly rivalry in an endeavor to retain for this Dominion the world's wheat championship title in each of the years preceding 1932, culminating in a supreme effort to hold the honor at Canada's first World's Fair in the fatter year. To retain the title that now, thanks' to������Mr. Smith's efforts, rests with this Dominion will do much.to attract still greater attention to this country in all parts of the world, and will be a powei*ful factor tn bringing additional thousands of visitors to the Dominion in 1932 to make personal investigation and study of this great Land.

CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, DEC 13 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Public Library Editor Review: Sir������������������As regards the library, which was started by the Women's Institute, but has been a public library for some years, having been incorporated as such in September, 1920, it is, of course up to the people of the village to say whether they wish it to be taken over by the municipality in January next. Should this happen' our village would be equal to most of the larger towns in the province in respect of possessing a free library enabling those who are at present unable, or unwilling, to spend the necessary amount to become a member, to enjoy plenty of good reading matter for both themselves and their families. The expenses in the. past have not been very heavy, thanks to the free quarters that have been provided since, January, 1925, but in order to meet these it has been necessary to charge a small annual fee. This will, probably, still be continued to those outside the muuicipality in order to help provide a fund, but such members will have the advantage of possibly two afternoons a week, in- of one, more commodious quarters, equally central, besides a more frequent change of books from Victoria, ti..nit is at present possible with the funds at our disposal. With regards to the board of directors, for municipal libaries, has to consist of three, five or seven members* and these again are composed of a member of the municipal council, selected by. such council and two, four or six other persons selected and appointed by such municipal-.council, chosen from the citizens of the municipality, with reference to their fitness for such office. These also have to be British subjects, and to have resided in the municipality for not less than six months. I am quoting above from the Public Libraries' Act, 1919. In the alternative, which you suggest in your last issue, supposing the commissioners have the power to make such a grant to library in its present state as a Public library Association, the board would have to consist as it does now of five members of the association. These could be some or all of the commissioners, should they become members and be appointed by the other members. It is never easy to get people to stand for any office which they think will add to their already j pretty strenuous labors e in one way or another, but we have always been fortunate in our directors, some of whom have continued to stand for a long time. I may add that a free public library would be of im- jmense benefit to the younger ��������� members of this community. There are a few known, to me, through the library (and doubtless many others) who devour everything they can get hold of- in the way of a book, and who would have a much larger range of really good, interesting, books, as -the number of such, that are suitable for boys and girls under 14 or 15 is, of course, very rery restricted under our present system. The needs of. the adults necessarily having to be first supplied. May I add that there are six municipal free libraries in this province, of which Nelson is one. The others are Nanaimo, Prince Rupert, New Westminster, Vancouver and Victoria. (Mrs.) J. C. HAMILTON, Librarian.

The Dominion net debt has been further reduced, offset again to an extent at least by indirect obligations incurred by the fNational Railways. yPy] Sy~. While it is reasonable to expect that there will be little curtailment infmost of the activities J have mentioned above, the short crop must bf necessity have some influence on business and the consumption of goods.. Already, the transportation companies and .collateral interests have been affected. The recent slump in the stock markets* too (while not an actual loss of capital to the country, except where the speculation has occurred in exchange markets outside the country), will curtail some of the free spending to which reference has been made, so that I feel that there-will be some slackening in trade at least for a period. BRITISH MARKET Great Britain continuesto be the chief market for the products of our fields. While reports would indicate that there is a gradual improvement in general'con- ditions there, they are still far from satisfactory, the number of unemployed being very great, with little prospect of relief from emigration. Efforts are being made to find some means to increase her trade within the Empire, which, if accomplished, without sacrifice of the interests of the Dominions, is greatly to be desired. PEACE OF THE WORLD The present British Government is very laudably anxious to further the Peace of the world, and the recent visit of Premier MacDonald to-the United States and his enthusiastic reception there will, it is hoped, make still more cordial the relations between that country and Great Britain, and have its effect on tha results of the Naval Disarmament Conference to be' held in London in January. ' . , a UNITED STATES CONDITIONS Their grain crops are short, but their crops generally are more diversified than ours, and have not the same proportionate shortage that has occurred with us, - so that while it may be that-there will be> some slackening in their business activities, tt is not probable that there, will be any lessening of their demand for such commodities as we supply them. CANADIAN SETBACK CANNOT LAST LONG As to ourselves, it may be that there will be some short while setback in car advancement, but it cannot last for v~:ry long, iand would be probably good for us after our recent efforts to get rich quick. Notwithstanding short crops and such drawbacks, the opinions of the Branch Managers, as expressed in their annual letters on conditions, are optimistic for thc coming year. the Province of Ontario. With the long daylight of the growing period, crops mature rapidly and produce yields even higher than those of the southern regions of the Canadian Prairie. This is not a new region, as it has been known for a century, and twenty years ago there were enough people who believed in it, to cause the construction of a railway " from Edmonton into the heart of the country. The new thing consists in the conviction of a multitude of people, who were long skeptical, that the region is fit for agricultural settlement, and that it has such possibilities that it may some day be so important as to become anew Province of the Canadian Federation. The extension of activities to the north all across the country promises a broad Canada, equal to the width of the United States from the Gulf of Mexico to Chicago. Taken by itself, this is one of the most important developments in Canada during our time; Sir James Woods, Vice-Presl dtnt, said) in part: Mr. President: Before seconding the adoption of the report may I take time to give the impressions of a business man on the extraordiuary happenings of recent wcckB, and the grounds on which my pronounced optimism is based. Unfortunately, in the recent stock exchange collapse many innocent people suffered, and Ihey are deserving of our sympathy, but, in the main, the losses will soon be overcome, and salaries and wages, that wen? being used for speculative purposes, will he available for thc purchase of every-day commodities. That there will be a reflex Influence on trade goes without saying. Luxuries and non-essentials will Buffer moat, but these are chiefly imported, nnd to halt the importation of luxuries may not be a bad thing. NOTHING WRONG WITH CANADA But, whatever may have gone wrong on the stock exchange, there is nothing wrong with Canada. Everything seems Mr. A. lb. phipps, General -Manager, said, m parts PROFITS UP #102,000 The profits, you have heard by the Report, amount to $1,561,561, being $102,000 more than a year ago. I repeat, as-is customary, the declaration that these profits have been arrived at after making provision for all unearned interest on bills discounted and'such items, and after providing for all known bad and doubtful debts, and for every contingency we can think of. DEPOSITS INCREASE #4,800,000 J Turning' to the Balance Sheet, the liabilities of the Bank have now reached the very substantial total of ������ne hundred and fifty-four and a half millions, of which nearly sixteen millions are due to the"*shareholders, leaving $138,500,000 due to the public in one form or another. This is an increase of $4,500,000, and represents an increase in the business of the Bank, particularly in deposits. -The non-interest-bearing deposits, while they have fluctuated during the year, show on the end of October within about $100,000 of the same figure at which they stood a year ago, but the increase in deposits bearing interest, which to. a great extent represent the savings -deposits of the Bank, have increased by $4,800,000, or 4.68 per cent. .."'... CASH ASSETS #26,212,000 When we turn to the assets we find that our gold, legal tenders and Bank balances and cheques on other Banks and assets Of that character are equal to practically 20 per cent, of our liabilities to the public, the total being $26,- 212,000, or $822,144 more than a year ago. The total quick assets, in which we include Dominion.and Provincial Securities, Call Loans and other items^of that kiiid, are 49.55 per cent, of our' public liabilities compared with 66 per cent, last year. The difference has been absorbed in the increase in our current loans, which have grown from $67,356,000 to $80,r 000,000, due largely to loans against unexposed wheat. The call loans in Canada have not increased, being $11,171,000, compared with $11,831,000 in October, 1928. There has been a very steady and persistent demand for money for all lines of industry during thc year, and the current loans of all the Banks, as you no doubt arc aware, are swollen at thc present time, partly owing to this condition, and partly to so much of the 1929 wheat crop, and even a considerable portion of the 1928 crop, being uncxported, for reasons which you sec day by day in the newspapers. Once this wheat moves, as it undoubtedly will sooner or later, the money tied up in loans will flow back to the Banks, and the situation as regards current loans will automatically adjust itself. PLENTY OF PROMISE FOR FUTURE In surveying the situation, provided we do not indulge in another wave of speculation or anything of that sort, there is plenty of promise for the coming year and beyond. Tine national finance;, are buoyant and the public debt is being reduced; the large Railway Companies have evidently sufficient con- to be pulling our way.' Science, research _��������� _ and InvenWve genius are adding value' fidence to continue their orders for roll- ������Mm.������������MmnMn.i.j...���������i ..-. ,ng j-tocjj; and equipment, steamboats, to our unparalleled natural resources and enotmouRly increasing our per capita production through the mechanization of industry, thus making Jt a positive advantage to have only a small population lor which to find employment. Unemployment Is a problem confronting the nations of the world, nnd Canada may enjoy comparative freedom In this respect If we exercise prudence In our Immigration policy. While the opinion commortly held ������tt Canada ta that no eiiorc should be spared to settle our productive farm lnnds, my belief Is that the time hiiks come to pro nlowly. and to select with great care all immigrants, parllculsrly those not Tnclally related to the two Kreat eroups now represented In me popuiauon ot Canada. b&teb nnd such litre; without reduction; the branch lines program for next year in the Northwest, I am told, Is greater than ever; the markets for high-grade securities are Improving and it looks as If the improvement will become permanent j Hydro-Electric development is going on apace, the huge Beauharnoft project on the St. Lawrence is well under way, tv������o developments of major importance are taking place In.lvfanltoha, the same is true ot j-mJ.j the prospects for next year's crop In the Northwert ara wild to be good; the newsprint industry shows no signs of further alacjten- Ing, but the Indications are rather that the demand for the>roduct will be tn- | creased perhaps at higher price*.
