• Canada's Wheat Yield by Prov
4°
1 y
The Bureau of 'Stabisties estimates was spring wheat. The value stands
the total yield of wheat for the Do-
minion at'196,381,000 bushels. At an
average price of $2.00 per bushel, this
means that Canada's wheat crop this
year is 'worth about $400,000,000.
The total area sown to wheat was
19,141,837 acres, which makes the Ontario's wheat crop is worth
yield per acre, 10.25 bushels. Of this, about $47,000,000, -the yield being 20,-
892,000, bushels. The fall crop was
especially heavy, amounting to 15,-
023,000 bushels. ;Spring wheat aver-
aged 16.50 bushels per acre, and fall
wheat 24.25.
All of Quebec's wheat was of the
spring variety, and amounted to 4,-
394,000 bushels, at a value of 38,800,-
000. .The yield was about 2,000,000
below that of 191.8, due to a much re-
duced acreage.
The maritime provinces' produced
2,284,000 bushels of wheat, of which
about 900,000 are credited to Prince
Edward Island.
In point of importance in produc-
tion, the provinces rank this year as
follows: --Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Al-
berta, Ontario, Quebec, British Col-
umbia, Prince Edward Island, New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia.
One of the most notable develop-
ments of the last 60 years in the life
of the Dominion has been the shift-
ing of the grain -growing centre from
the eastern to the prairie provinces.

was 400,000 acres in excess of that
of 1918, and the average yield 6.25
bushels per acre.
British Columbia's crop was 1,431,-
000 bushels.
18,462,444 acres were sown to spring
wheat, the yield from this being 181,-
228,000 bushels, the fall wheat yield-
ing 16,133,000. The estimate ' show
that the total 1919 Drop is 7,000,000
bushels in excess of that for the. year
1918.
In point of both yield and value,

inces. Of the total product it is
credited with...97,933,000 bushels, or
slightly over 50 per ant. This should
be worth about 3200,000,000, or at
least one-half of the entire value of
the wheat crop of the whole Domin-
ion.
Manitoba comes second with 43,-
206,000 bus'he1s, all of this with the
exception of 93,000 bushels being
spring wheat. The value ig approxi-
mately 390,000,000. The acreage was
'2,880,331, or about 100,000 less' than
in 1918. The average yield was 15

- Evidently, the Germans thought
that the cot concealed our gun, for one

Man's Strength A Fiction.
d It 15 customary to speak ot man alp
stronger than woman, though this Is
half true, halt false; tor although he
fe etrronger of frame and muscle and
more active, he is of a markedly wear•
er constitution, less resistant to the
enemies of life.. And this difference
seems native and intrineio, not due t0
externals Or to the chance arrange-
ments of eooiety; for already In in- .
fancy the man -child is more open to
the attack of mortal disease. Where
100 girl babies die in the first year of
life, our ceneus shows that there die
about 130 boys.
In the sense organs there ,is a dif- -
Terence closer to what we know sit
mind, and which is not wholly in aei
cord with the common thought that
women are more sensitive than men.
They are more delicate of touch and
and,
oan perceive certain tastes, notably
sweet, at a low degree that escapes
the man, although for salt and sours
and bitter, as well as for smell hi
general, the evidence is not so clear,
In recent experiments the: men were
able to hear fainter tones, and for all
but one -of several pure colors of the.
spectrum the men, contrary to the'
popular belief, deteeted the color at a
lower intensity than did the women.
But, besides this difference in the.
senses when they are normal, serious
detects of eye and ear Dome far more
often to the man and to the man -
child. Colorblindness, ,which is us-'
ually innate and is therefore not to lie
aset•ibed to the manner in which man
lives and works, is about tenfold more
frequent among men than among wo-
1nen. Blindness pure and simple is
also more frequent 'among men.
The most serious defects of hearing
also occur oftener among men; for
of those reported in our eeasue es
totally deaf there are hundreds more
males than there are females. ,
