ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL
STATISTICS FOR 1927
Tho Dominion Bureau of Statistics
has made the customary :avenge- j
ments for tho collection and publi-
cation of the annual agriculturs1
statistics of Canada for the yew
1 92 7. These statistics will be based j
upon returns to be collected next
June from individual farmers upon
cardboard schedules issued to them
through the teachers and children of '
the rural schools. The schedule IA a
very simple one, calling only for the I
areas sown to field crops and the I
numbers of farm animals alive on
the farm in mid-June. Upon tae I
salting estimates of total areas own
are based the preliminary, provision-
al and final estimates of yield, which
are of supreme importance in eon- I
miction with the movement, finiute-
ing, distribution and sale of the
principal cereals, especially of .whi-iat
of which Canada is now the world's i
leading exporter.
Tho present ifflins for the collec-
tion of those statistics have been fol.
lowed annually shoot 1917, and the ;
estimates besot thiesicm hove tonne
to be confidently 1ld upon by all
interested in the production and tlis-
taint ion of Canadian grain.
In connection with the celebratton
this year of the Diamond Jubilee of
Cenfederation. aecurate stattisties are
indisponsultb• for a proper apprecia- ;
tion of the nation:11 progress, :mil In
order to ensuro that the statistics of
the Jubilee year may bo as accurato
as possible, it is earnestly hoped that ,
farnotrs throughout tho Dominion
will not fail to render the small ser.
vice required by filling up and res
turning the schedule issued.
If any .farmer should not receive :
tho cardboard schedule ny the mid -
die of June he should apply for came
either to the school tiather of the .
nearest local rural school, or to his
provincial Department of Agriculture
or to the Dominion Statistician at
Ottawa, The aim is to obtain a com
pletcd schedule from every farmer •
as the more numerous the returns,
the more trustworthy will be the re-
sulting estimates.

By the fall of 1 83 7 political dis-.
content in Canada had reached it dan-
gerous stage. Despairing of remedy
for the ills which afflicted the country
by constitutional means, many of f
those who desired reform began to !
feel -their only hope lay in rebellion,
or at least.in an armed demonstration
that woulcl! compel the governing ,
powers to grant their dethands.
In Toronto a permanent committee
of vigilance was created, with Wits
liam Lyon MacKenzie as its agent and ;
corrcsponcling sucrctary. Ud•I'
indefatigable activity organization
grew apace. Meetings were held:
throughout the country, local soci,et-
ies of reformers Were formed, and
delegates appointed to 8 onvention
