All main countries have textile industries, and people come from other countries in the western group to study our methods. The textile industry here in Canada is among the leaders in technical skill and effectiveness. And along with the U.S. it pays the highest wages for textile employment any-. where. In Canada the industry is the largest employer of manufacturing labor. Textiles also pay the largest manufacturing wage bill in this country. In these times, the size and technical ability of the industry, are important features of Canada's strength.

Moses numbered the children of Israel in the fifteenth cen- tury, B, C. (Exodus XXX, 12-15; Num- bers 1, 2-4 and 47-49; III, 14-16, IV, 34- 49.) But statistical investigations were made many centuries earlier, in Baby- lonia (about 3809 B.C.), in China (3,000 B.C.), in Egypt (2,2000 B.C.) A census taken by King David in 1017 B.C. achieved evil notoriety in history from the Divine wrath which it pro- voked (II Samuel XXIV, 1-25; I Chronicles XXI, 1-27), and was cited for many generations in opposition to the spirit of scientific inquiry. The Census was one of the institutions founded by the great lawgiver Solon at Athens in the sixth century B. C. The Romans, too, were assiduous cen- sus takers, both under the Republic and the Empire; Julius Caesar re- formed the Census among other things. The Breviary of Charlemagne (A.D. 808) and the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror (A.D. 1086) are celebrated mediaeval censuses. Later, the Census disappeared from Europe. It may not be generally known that the credit of taking the first Census of modern times belongs to Canada. The year 1666, the census was that of the Colony of New France. There had been earlier records of settlement at Port Royal (1605) and Quebec (1608), ' but the Census of 1666 was a system- atic "nominal" enumeration of the people, (i. e., a record of each indiv- idual by name), taken for a fixed date showing the age, sex, place of resi- I donee, occupation and conjugal con- dition of each person. The results are to be seen in a document of 154 pages in the Archives of Paris, of which a transcript is in the Public Archives at Ottawa. Altogether this Census recorded 3,215 persons. When it is recalled that in Europe the first modern census dated only from the eighteenth century (those of France and England from the first year of the nineteenth), whilst in the United States no census of the country as a whole was taken before 1790, the ach- ievement of the primitive St. Law- rence Colony in instituting what is to- day one of the principal instruments of Government in every civilized com- munity may call for more than pass- ing appreciation. At Confederation the British North America Act specifically mentioned "The Census and Statistics" as falling within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government (Section 91). The first Dominion Census Act was passed in 1870, and the first Census was taken thereunder in 1871. Similar compre- hensive censuses have followed every tenth year, namely, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911, 1921, 1931, and 1941. The Census to be taken as of June 1, 1951, is therefore the ninth com- prehensive decennial census to be taken since Confederation. The ad- ministration of the census was origin- ally vested in the Minister of Agri- culture; in 1912, however, in a re- organization and centralization o fthe statistical work of the Government it was transferred to the Minister of Trade and Commerce.

SOLVE YOUR PLOWING PROBLEMS WITH MM WHEATLAND DISC PLOWS For plowing stubble or sod, MM Wheatland disc plows do a superior job and often cut plowing costs as much as 50%. They thoroughly mix trash with soil to increase moisture absorption and to prevent soil blowing. They do not leave air pockets. MM Wheatland disc plows have a wide range of adjustments of disc angles from 40 to 60 degrees. Adaptable to any size farm ... offered in 4, 6, 8, and 10-foot sizes. MM Wheatland disc plows can be set to plow at any depth from 3 to 9 inches, and one of their big advantages is that they hold to their work at the depth for which they are set. Electrically heat-treated discs are 26 inches in di- ameter. MM larger-diameter discs turn soil better. Disc bearings never require lubrication, and a special end-thrust bearing takes all end thrust of the entira gang assembly. See us for complete facts.
