BILLION -DOLLAR YEAR
ON FARMS Or CANADA.
:rte Increase of $300,000,000 in Pro -
duets in 1915.
"'Tho Empire may deperd noon the
farmers of Canada doing their full
duty in this great war if the situation
is fully and frankly put before them,"
declared Dr. C. C. James, Commis-
sionerof Agriculture, who orgenired
the Patriotism and Production rum-
paign last year, speaking to the mem-
bers of the.Canadian Ayr•.:hire Breed-
ers' Asieu0i0tion at a Banquet at the
(Marie -Rite Hotel, Toronto..
IIe pointed out drat the farmer:;
needed no flag-waving and martial
ma: -ie to stimulate them to their
patriotic duties. As but one illustra-
tion of the-acritiee of the rural folk
he pointed out that County Council -
were malting Meme grams to the
Patriotiee Fund—some of them giving
amounts equal to all their other ex-
penditures. "When fanners double
their times for war purpoees it simply •
means that they are giving ae they
understand the Beetle," said Dr.
James,
"Must the fanners give men, twee?"
Ise asked. "If Canada call: for Bien
from,the country they will come.
They have enlisted by the thousand
west of the Great Lakei', and with
thousands more going one • wondere
what may become of the farm pro-
duction of the prairies.
`pumping all the farm product%to-
gether, and deducting the food fed to
stock, we estimate that in 1915 the
farms, orehard and gardens of Can-
ada gave a net product of over a bil-
lion dollars. The wheat .crop of the
prairies \Vols worth about 5275,000,000.
a big crop, the biggest ever jtnown ill
Canada, but, after ail, only a little, if
any, over one-quarter of tin' entire
produet'
on,
Word for the Dairy Cow.
"In Ontario the dairy output was
twenty per cent. over 1914, and the
market value was incrensed ten to
• twenty per cent. In 1910, according
to the Dominion Dairy Commissioner,
the milk products of Canada were
worth approcimately 5110,000,000. It
is a safe estimate to put the dairy
, output. ..f Canada for 1915 at $150,-
000,000. While discussing wheat we
shoul4 not forget the dairy cow. She
, haat done more for Canada during the
past- ten years t1l•.n have our wheat
fields, and in view of what is now
happening the world over, there is a
possibility that the dairy products of
; Canada in 1916 may exceed wheat in
value. The wheat fields reached
their maximum yield per acre in 1915.
The dairy cow is only getting into her
stride. She is now producing 4,000
.lbs, or less a year; 10,000 lbs. a year
is what the dairymen are working for.
Increase of $300,000,000.
"The farm products of all. Canada
in 1915 exceeded in value the farm
products of any previous year by at
least $300,000,000. Itis well for our
public men and our writers to know
that the increase in the value of the
farm products in. 1915 was at least
double in value our entire output
of war munitions." -
The prospects for 1915 .were bright,
and the slogan would be:. "Go to it,
all ye dairymen of Canada, and make
the dairy record equal to the wheat
record of 1916."

Hon. Martin Burrell. Minister of
Agricuture, was in his office off the •
reading room when he found himself
confronted suddenly with a wall of
flame and a curtain of black, suffocat-
ing smoke. He rushed through the
fire and in making his escape was bad-
ly burned about the head and face.
Fre was taken to the basement and
treated by Dr. Dugal Stewart, of Li1n-

was scor::hed and singed and his hands
cut and bleeding.

After the escape of Hon. Martin
Burrell and the - appearance of Dr.
Michael Clark, of Red Deer, suffering
from the effects of thes moke, a re-
port spread that Messrs. Logic
(Northumberland), E. W. Nesbitt
(North. Oxford). and Jas. Douglas
(Strathcona) had failed to- make- good
their 'escape from the burning chamb-
er. This report, however, was sub-
sequently contradicted and it was said
that the members had been seen and
that. Mr. Nesbitt had - sustained . a
slight injury to his hand. - When Hon,
Martin Burrell left his office and made
his way through the burning reading
room his secretary, Mr..ide, also fled
