It is signi- ant that the total population of e Province shows an actual de - se during the decade, although e value„ of agricultural products, tably in feed grains -and in live ek and dairy products, shows a rge increase. The immense possi- lities for further agricultural de- opment'in the Province is shown the fact that, exclusive of the 1,000,000 acres of the new district Patricia, only 15> per cent. of e total land area of the Province, 21,933,700 acres out of 166,951,- 6, is occupied far agricultural irposes. The rural population of the Pro - nee at the date of the census was ,194,785; a, decrease of 52,184 dur- g the decade, and of 100,538 since 91. During the ten years from 1901 1911 the area of occupied land creased by 2.73 per cent., while he number of farm holdings de - reseed by 10,861.

Land in field crops increased from 9,212,478 acres in 1901 to 9,691,116 acres in 1911, being an increase of 478,638 acres, or 5.19 per cent. in the ten years; the land in orchard and nursery increased from 267,478 acres in 1901 to 268,000 in 1911; the land in vegetables and small fruits was 70,437 acres in 1911, as against 65,303 acres in. 1901.

A heavy increase in capital and con- solidated expenditures is offset by expanding revenue, and there is a surplus of $56,500,000 on current account. There is areduction of $20,000,000' in the public debt. On consolidated fund the revenue to- talled $168,600,000. compared with $136,108,217 the previous year.

"I Ruined Sir Win. Lever's' Man- . ston," Says Mrs. Rigby. A despatch from Liverpool says: A dramatic confession of iiieendial•- ism was made by a well-known mili- tant suffragette, Mrs;`'Edith. Rigby, wife of a physician. at Preston, to the Magistrate sitting in the Police Court here oil Thursday. Mrs. Rigby declared it was she who had on Tuesday burned down the coun- try residence at Rivington, near Horwich, Lancashire, of Sir Wil- liam H. Lever, causing ' `damage estimated at $100,000. She further confessed to being the perpetrator of the outrage at ,the Liverpool Stock Exchange on July 5, when a bomb exploded, but caneed little damage.

Unsanitary Conditions Reported to Provincial Health Department. A despatch from Toronto says: That urban Ontario, to a very gen- eral extent, is "living in the pro- verbial fool's paradise in regard te health conditions is being made manifest to the Provincial .Health Department by the reports and sanitary surveys coming in from the seven district officers of health ap pointed under the Provincial sys- tem. The new procedure requires each of these officers to submit to the Provincial Department a de- tailed sanitary survey of all the urban municipalities within his.dis- trict. This sanitary survey covers all matters of interest and concern in connection with public health, water supply, sewerage system, garbage treatment, gas supply, ice fields, the handling of the milk sup- ply, and all datawhich may affect the health of the community. The receipt of many of these sanitary surveys is causing the Provincial authorities to gasp. There is con- siderable work cut out for them. In many cases even the most rudi- mentary health laws are set at de- fiance. Summer ice is taken from waters into which sewage is emp- tied, garbage is carelessly handled, the milk supply is contaminated, and other equally reckless proce- dure is chronicled in a most mat- ter-of-fact manner. The Provincial Department is not making public the names of the of- fending municipalities, but the con- ditions shown to exist in the var- ious centres will be promptly grap- pled with. From present indica- tions it looks as though a whole- sale campaign of general house- cleaning will have to be waged throughout urban Ontario, and. more rigid amendments made to the public health act.
