VALUE OF CROPS REDUCED
Canada's Production Greater, But Average rlarket
Price Somewhat Less.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
A bulletin issued on Wednesday bY
the census and statistics office gives
final estinuttes of the area, yield
and value of the principal field
crops of Canada in 1913, as eompar-
ed with.1912. Last year's season
was very favorable for grain -grow-
ing in the northwest provinces,
where during the ripening, harvest-
ing and threshing periods condi-
tions, generally speaking, were
ideal. Ina Ontario, Quebec, and
parts of the Maritime Provinces, on
the other hand, the yield of grain
was adversely affected by prolonged
drought. For the whole of Canada
the principal field crops 'occupied
a total estimated area of 35,375,000
acres, aAt compared with 35,575,000
acres in 1912, and their value, com-
puted at average local market
prices, was $552,771,500, as compar-
ed with $557,344,100 in 1912.
Wheat, upon 11,015,000 acres, pro-
duced 231,717,000 bushels, of the
value a $156,462,000, the corre-
sponding figures in 1912 being 10,-
996,700 acres, 224,159,000 bushels,
and $139,090,000. Of the total
wheat area, 970,000 acmes were de-
voted to fall wheat, the production
being 22,592,000 bushels, aisd the
value $18,185,000, as c,ompared with
971,000 acres, 20,357,000 bushels,
and $17,157,000 in 1912. Oats yield-
ed a total of A04,669,000 bushels,
from 10,434,000 acres, and the value
reached $128,893,000, the corre-
sponding figures of 1912 being 9,-
966,000 acres, 391,629,000 bushels,
and $126,304,000.
Both the wheat and oat crepe of
1913 are the highe.st on record in
anada-wheat as regards area,
yield and value, and oats as regards
area and yield. The value of the oat
crop was exceeded in 1911, when
the amount was $132,949,000. Bar-
ley, upon 1,613,000 acres yielded
48,319,000 bushels, of the value of
$120,144,000, as against 1,581,000
acres, 49,398,000 bushels, and $22,-
354,000, in 1912. Flax seed oceu-
pied 1,552,800 acres, and the pro-
duction was 17,539,090 bushels, of
the value of $17,084,000, as com-
pared with 2,021,900 acres, 26;130,-
000 bushels, and $23,608,000, in
1912.
IThe quality of the grain crops,
as indicated by the average weight
per measured bushel is excellent,
and is superior to 1912. Spring
wheat averages 60,37 pounds,
against 58.90 pounds in 1912; oats,
36.50 pounds against 35.50 pounds,
and barley 48.50 pouuds against
47.50 poends.
In the three northwest province
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-
berte the production in 1913 of
wheat is estimated at 209,262,000
bushels, compared with 204,280,000
bushels in 1912; of oats 242,413,000
bushels, compared with! 242,321,000
bushels, and .of barley 31,060,000
bushels, compared with 31.000,000
bushels. The wheat nroduetion of
1913 in Manitoba was 53,331,000
bushels, from 2,804,000 acres; in
Saskatchewan, 121,559,000 bushels,
from 5,729,000 acres, and in Alber-
ta 34,372,000 bushels from 1,512,000
acres.

THE EFFECT OF FERTILIZERS
Prof. Zavitz Reviews Experimental Work Done
Last Year in Ontario.
• A despatch from Guelph says:
At the most successful meeting yeb
held of the Ontario •Agricultural
and Experimental Union, Prof, Zit -
vita reviewed the •,••experimental
work done in fertilizers. The work
in Ontario had succeeded so well
because it was started on a Small
scale and worked up from the bot-
tom. One year's work with man -
gels showed good results from the
applitation of nitrogen, One hun-
dred pounds per acre increased the
" yield from 30 tons to :34 tons per
acre, at a cosi of two cents a bush-
el for the increase. ,
Prof. Harcourt said that to carry
en fertilizing experiments euecees-
fully one must have a lull know-
ledge of three thinge: the compo-
eition of the plant,. the composition
of the soil, and the peculiar require-
ments: of the different crops. For
example, mangels required nitro-
gen, turnips required phosphorus,
and so on. ,
Prof, fl 3. Zavita told of the work
carried on by the forestry depart-
. ment. Last year two hundved thou -
and tree's -were distributed free to
29 counties, During the past few
years there, had been little thange

cows of milking qualities and breed
a strain from them."
Mr. F. C. Nunnick, who l con-
nected with the commission on con-
servation, said that nob enough at-
tention was paid bo the varieties
of grain grown. In l'eterboro
County, fer instance, 17 varieties
were grown. These could not all
be beet varieties, Weeds were gain-
ing the ascendency in many cases.
Om one farm 65 different weeds were
found. A fact, the significance of
which could nob be slighted, was
that 93 per cent. of the farmers
were taking no special preeautions
to prevent the waste of farmyard
manure. This meant an enormous
annual loss of fertility. Eight de-
monstration lams were esta,blishcd
in different parte of the province.

The speech from the throne was
read by his Royal Highness in the
follo-wing terms:
"Honorable Gentlemen of the

"Gentlemen of the House of
Commons: • .
"I take this public opportunity of
expressing to you all my deep sense
of gratitude for the comfort and
support that were afforded me at
the'time of the serious illness of the
Duchess of Connaught by the num-
erous messages of sympathy that
were received from Canada, and by
the knowledge that the heaats of so
many Canadians were with us dur-
ing these dark days. 1 eaa only re-
gret that my enfoeced. absence,
made it impossible for me to fully
exereise the duties of my high of -
floe during a considerable portion
of last year.
"It gives me great pleasure to be
able to' congratulate you upon the
remarkable expansion of Canada's
trade with other countries in the
past fiscal year, during evhich our
total trade far exceeded -that of any
preceding year.
Harvesting of Crops.
"The bountiful crops with which
the Dominion has fortunately .been
blessed during the past season have
been harvested under unusually
favorable eenclitions, which have
enabled the transportation com-
panies to make full use of all the
facilities at their disposal. Thus
the difficulties, which sometim
arose in fernier years have n
been manifest, and an unusuall
large proportion of the crops h
been conveyed to the seaboard b
fore the close of the season of i
land navigation.
"Canada has been favored by
long series of Prosperous year and
although at the present mornen
business is slightly restricted b
the financial stringency which pr
veils throughout the world, I fee
convinced that this condition wi
be merely temporary and that th
boundleas resources of this Domin
ion which are so fully and univer
aally known and recognized, giv
us the fullest assurance of contin
ual material prosperity and pro
geoss.

"As a result of the recent decen-
nial tensus the represeatation of
the different provinces must be re-
adjusted, as required by the Bri-
tish North American Act and a bill
will be introduced for that pur-
pose.
"A bill consolidating the Rail-
way Act and its various amend-
ments as well as bells relating to
the oivil service and to trust and
loan companies, will be submitted
for your consideration.

"The volinue of immigration dur-
ing the present fiscal year promises

EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN.
Disturbancea Have Subsided, But
Extent of Disaster Guessed.
A despatch from Tokio says:
Official reports from Southern Jap-
an, where volcanic eruptions and
eaethquakes have caused heavy
loss of life, panic and great pro-
perty damage, are that the erup-
tion of the volcano at Sakura -Jima,
which has caused the most devasta-
tion is abating.
Juist how heavy has been the loss
of life cannot yet be _estimated.
Santura, where the greatest loss of
life undoubtedly- occurred, cannot
be visited because the eruption of
Sakura-dima continues. So the
story in this respect . must wait.
Troops and warships are now in the
vicinity and a search of the island
will be made at the first opportinf-
ity.
Kagoshima, the nearest big city
to Sakura, while it suffered great
damage from the earthquakes, des
nob appear to have sustained a ee-
vere loss of life. H. Ijuin, former
aipainese minister to China, who
lives at Kagoshima, sent a de-
spatch to the foreign office in which
he said thet ten persons have been
killed and thiety Injured there. He
also stated that great confusioe

come permanent residents of. the

returning to their 'own countey.
These numbered 22,232 in 1910, but
in 1913 the number had increased to
54,497.
