The Dominion Statistician, Ottawa, trine -int out a special appeal to farm- ers to make returns to hien of the extent of the areas sown to the prin- cipal field crops and the numbe:of farm live stock by gleans of card- boaxd schedules which are being dis- tributed, or will be supplied on appli- cation. It is explained that these sta- tistics are required only for o.facial compilation to mare national returns, will be regarded as confidential, and will in rto way be used for purposes of taxation. The reasons for the returns. are: That reliable and accurate total sta+tisci, s may be at the disposal of farmers, who will thus be enabled to r. egalate their crops and live ::tock and also to quote their crop prospects when applying for credits.

On a garden patch •15x40 feet I have used with astonishing results four bushels of wood -ashes at. a time. About a month later, when it is time to gat the mulch off, I lift it carefully aside; then, as soon as the soil is workable, I rake. in a second but lighter application of ashes, try- ing, without distuiabing the roots of the plants, to get it in as close to them as possible. Then the mulch is returned to the rows and about• the plants, but,' of course, not over them: This fertilizing in the early spring is the very best insurance I have been able to discover for a phenomenal yield of strawberries in the home garden. - Direct from TRAPPER to MANUFACTURER J.
