IMMIGRANTS AT END OF WAR
Pacifio News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON.—Canada expects a
stream of Immigrants at the close of
the European war, and the govern
ment of New Brunswick already Is
preparing to provide suitable settle
ment areas for those who may elect |
to make their homes in the province. ;
Community farms, under governmen
tal supervision, the farms to bo sold at j
cost and a maximum of twenty years
time allowed the purchasers in which
to clear their indebtedness, is the plan
decided upon, according to Consul
Hichardson, at Monoton, who has so
reported to the Department of Com
merce.
A provisional advisory board has
been created and the members already
have made a tour of inspection of
certain areas deemed suituble for sub
division into small agricutlural hold- ;
ings.
The New Brunswick government1
proposes according to the report, that j
when a block of land is tlnally accept -
od it shall be surveyed and laid out
according to a special i>lan. The rail
road will pass through It diagonally
and two main roads will cross it at
right angles to each other. The rail
road will serve as a base line for lots,
with a corresponding line for the base j
for the other side of the block. Every '
farm will commence at the main road
and run back to one of the base lines.
No farm will have land on both sides
of the track.
Each block, or community, is to have
at its central point a model farm,
managed by a practical farmer placed
there by the government. This farm
will produce the seed required by the j
surrounding farmers. Means of co
operation in buying and selling ara to
be provided.
The land in each community will bo I
divided into sections ranging from
10 to 100 acres each. The government
proposes to sell these farms at actual
cost, on easy terms Each purchaser
will be given twenty years to clear the
remainder. The government will erect
a house and a barn and dig a well on
each farm. The purchaser will fur
nish his own implements, with the ex
ception of certain special appliances to
be shared by the whole community an.l
loaned by the central model farm.
The government intends to clear
only a portion of each farm, allowing
the settler to sell the wood from the
remainder. The use of oxen for plow
ing arul other heavy farm work is
to be encouraged.

CHANGES IN COMMERCE AND TRADE DUE
TO GREAT WAR EFFECT THE PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS VERY NOTICABLY
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau i
WASHINGTON.—Long suffering'
from an unbalanced trade, the Philip
pine Islands for the first time in his- j
tory are enjoying an excess of exports
over imports. This condition does not
arise from internal causes. It is
wholly due to the changes in commerce
and trade brought about by the war
and more particularly through the in
crease in water transportation rates,
which ha3 operated to decrease tlia
importation and consumption of man
ufactured and raw necessities, as well
as luxuries, according to a report
from Manila received by the Depart
ment of Commerce.
There was an excess of imparts
over exports to the value of $1,200,074 1
tar August, 1915, while during the
8'ime month in 1916 there was nn ex
cess of exports over imports to 'he
value of $1,065,880 in the islands, *hc
report states. The imports for Aug
ust, 1916, were valued at $3,813,910
and the exports were $4,879,790.
The exportation of coconut oil for
August, 1916, was nearly double that
for the corresponding month of 1915,
its value being $669,761, compared
with $350,150 for August, 1015, and the
exports of copra Increased from $145.
151 to $154,517. An Increase from $25,
32C to $144,963 in the exports of em
broidery indicates the rapidity with
which this industry is growing. The
exports of hemp increased from $ 1,
249,109 for August, 1915, to $2,107,P59
for the same month in 1916.
MOSOUITOES, SPOTTED FEVER
AND GENERAL HEALTH OF
FARMERS BEING STUDIED
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON,—Insects affecting
the health of man are being combatted
vigorously by the bureau of entomo
logy of the Department,of Agriculture,
according to the annual report of the
chief of the bureau.
In mosquito- investigations In Louis
iana a species of mosquito hitherto
considered a non-carrier of malarial
Infection was proved to be a carrier.
Studies have been made of malaria
and measures are being tnvllved to
meet plantation conditions.
The "starvation” plan, aimed to ex
terminate the spotted fever tick of the 1
Bitter Root Valley, Montana, was fol
lowed during the year with encourag
ing success. The plan consists of the
removal of the domestic hosts of the
adult tick from the infected areas.
The bureau also conducted a campa;gn
of extermination against ground
squirrels and other rodent hosts of 'he
immature tick3. Extermination of the
rodents killed showed 40 per cent lower
Infestation by the tick than during the
pieceeding year.
The report directs attention to the
demonstrations of the bureau, specla
Itsts that the breeding of flies In ma
nurc can be prevented by treating the
substance with calcium cyanamid and 1
acid phosphate which at the same time
increase the fertilizing value of the
manure.
The bureau also conducted investi
gations into methods of lessening fly
infestation in packing establishments
operating under the meat Inspection
service of the department.
