NUMBERS OF NEW CITIZENS
Over Thirty-one Thousand Entered Canada During
the Month of September.
A despatch from 'Ottawa says :
During the six months, April ist to
October 1st, of the current fiscal
year 273,649 immigrants arrived in
Canada. Of this number 183,990
arrived at ocean ports, and 89,659
from the United States. These
figures show an increase of 13 per
cent. as compared with the number
of arrivals for the corresponding
-months of last fiscal year, which
were 158,614 at ocean ports and 83,-
317 from the 'United States, mak-
ing a total for the six months,
April 1 to Oct. 1, 1911, of 241,931
ersons.
During ,the montn of September
is year there were 31,140 arriv-
, 20,690 of them having been at
n ports and 10,450 from the
es, as against 29,077 for Sep-
er ilaSt year, 17,593 of whom
were at ocean ports and 11,484 from
the States.
The immigration to Canada for
the last half-year is considerably
greater than the entire population
of Montenegro, the country which
a few days ago declared war
against Turkey.
The electoral district of Carleton,
Ontario, has, according to the cen-
sus of 1911, a population of 28,406;
it will be seen that the immigra-
tion during the last six menthe is
more than equivalent to the popu-
lation of nine such districts.
Supposing that all the immigrants
who arrived during the la.st six
months were in Inc. of march one
pace apart, Indian file, the pro-
c,espion would reach from Toro-nto
to Kingston, more than one hun-
dred .and fifty miles.

s had made so little progress.
he new estimates of yield ob-
amed from correspondents at the
end of September confirm general-
ly the previous estimates for most
of the crops, but inasmuch as very
little threshing had been possible
and large areas of grain were still
unharvested, it is feared that the
final estimates after completion of
the threshing may turn out lower
than the figures flow given.
For Spring wheat the estimated
production is 188,816,600 bushels, as
compared with 189,904,500 bushels
last year. For Fall wheat the es-
timate is 16,868,700 bushels, com-
pared with 26,014,000 bushels last
year, the total estimated wheat

average. Flax is well above the
