Prie* 42JM) • v«ar in Canada, p«id in .•drmaee; |2.60 per yaar in tta United Statei. F. J. THURSTON, Editor WHAT IS AHEAD OF US IN 1949? Wliat's coming, or goiivg in 1949? loom or bust â€" good crops or bad, ar. early Spring or a late one? Will production rise or fall and â€"this is the rub â€" will we have more in- flation Or is deflation on the way? How doJs the picture today com- pare with October 23, 1929, the day of the big stock market crasli ? It's a different story. 1929 was the kig-hest point in the boom. Total W ifcti-iiii pri'duction then was $3,- «S,446,000. In 194? it was estim- ated at f9 ^76,497,000. Salaries and â- wages in 192S» totalled ?777,291,000; in 1947, J2,0<>9,623,000. IpSQ was Vk6 end of a period of boom. The present situation reflects a sounder •development. Industry is in a much at* ;';iger position. It is more cap- able Oif bearing tein(porary shocks thai, it waa hack there in 1929 In the "fcoom days with a chicken in every pot ?.»d another on the back steps waitiag to get in. This is true of industry, also of agriculture. The demand for food it a great deal keener today than it 'V«a then. World production has not pet kept pMe wMfli demand. 1 ^w«rld is hungry today, more hungry Ifcan it has been for many a year. Tliiira -viay i>e, of cou.-se, temporary declines from peak levels, but it is dliricalt to see at the present a price decline in farm products such as •BBfronted us in the 1930-86 period. in the crop year 1920-21 wheat was worth ^^ a bushel, in 1932- ;ju it sold at approximately 61c. In the crop year 1929-30 it was worth 11.64. These figures are rather stuftliimr. Prices of agricultural products today are far less stable thsin the wages of labor ©r the price of industrial products. Conditions today are sharply different, the price pattern of future years will also be different. CHEpMICAL ANLYSES I-KOTECT BUYERS To implement the Acts of the Do minion De\£artment of Agriculture lespecting feeding stuffs, fertili- zers and pesticides, large, numbers of samples are analy.sed each year to determine whether the manufac- turer's guarantee is met. The number of chemical analyses 6l these products during the present year will appix)ximate 11,000 of which about 7,000 will be of feeding stuffs for protein, fat and fibre, and the remainder will be fertilizer and pesticide production. The official chemical analyses are specialists in their field and in most cases are chemists in Dominion Qovemanent lalboratories and in the chemical de- partments of Canadian universities and coleges. They are gazetted as official analyses of the staff of Plant. Products Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Depend- able analyses are essential for pro- tecting fai'mers of Canada under these Acts. It's an- iU wind that blows a man's own horn. An Einglish scientist says if one freezes long enough he gets "deli- ciouly warm." The principle on which some janitors work. A whistle was rmoved from the throat of a Massachusetts boy. And he might have wanted to be a traffic cop.

Police are busy trying to match it. After ransacking a winter home in Florida, robbers departed in the owner's- speedboat. As if they hadn't puttered around enough that day.

PEERLESS BICVaE WORKS 19S Dondcn St. W. Cost of Living Rise Halted? End of the year figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics showed a decrease of 0.7 in the cost of living index. The majority of items taken in consideration in com- puting that index have lately shown a tendency to level off. This trend has been particularly noticeable in the food group and in the building materials and construction group. In some other groups small raises were still noted in the last month of li948. This, indeed, is a most en- couraging omen, and although it may not yet be an indication of a decrease in the cost of comnnnodities, it is most assuredly a sign of stalbilization. About the only price we can't kick about is that on Government bonds.
