The Annual Report Embraccs the Following Particulars
The lpfendid gain in New Business for the first seven months of the year was
held unimpaired to the close and resulted in the largest increase in the Company's
historY, as noted above. January, 1915, business also shows a splendid increase over
that of 1914.
• •
The business in force, less reinsurances amounted to 430,849,326.74, an increase
of $3,730,951.12. The 'epee rate' has nituially been heavier than heretofore, owing
to the special conditions existing. Nevertheless the gain in business in force is weak -
catty the same as in the best previous year.
The total Receipts amounted to $1,464„819.13, a gain of $168,978.48 over Ole
previous year. -=
The tome& scale of profits--exeeeding estimates by one -third -is being continued
.
he conditions warrant an increase, which for the time being is deferred ontil the effect
of the expected unusual strain this year has been determined.
The Assets now amount to $5,294,26.70, an increase of $618,667.51. Bonds and
Stocks have 13een, teken at a -figure much below the prevailing market value. The
Rate of Inteieet earned, without allowance for Head Office rental, was 1.01%.

basis The total Policy Reserve on ,the Company's standard now amounts to

The important thing now is to complete at once your plan for the year's work—
for increased production. By planning well in advance, each Month's operations can be
carried through more effectively when the time comes. Delays later On, through neglect
of .this, will mean loss to you and to the Empire.
Use the Best
Seed
This year, for the sake of the
Empire, fanners should be
exceptionally . careful • in the
selection of seed. Cheap seed
e
is often the `dearest. If every
Canadian farmer would use
only the best varieties, and sow
on properly cultivated soil, the
grain output of Canadian farms
would be doubled. Deal only
with reliable seedsmen. Write
at once to Canadian Department
of Agriculture Ottawa and to
your Provincial Agricidural De-
partment for information as to
the best varieties of seed to be
used in your particular locality,
and use no others.

CONFERENCE
Clean Your Seed
All grain intended for seed
• should be thoroughly cleaned
and selected to. retain only
the strong kernels. You cut
reap only what you sow. It
doesl not pay to sow weeds.
Clean seed means larger crops
and helps tokeep theland clean.
• When you have youraeed grain
ready, put it through the cleaner
• once more.
The Farm Labour Problem
• The Government suggests the forming of an
active committee in every town and city, composed
of town and country men and women. This Com-
mittee would find out the sort of help the farmers
of their locality need, andget a list of the unem-
ployed in their town or city, who are suitable for
farm labour. With, this information, the committee
would. be in a good position to get the right Min for
the right. place.
Cotincils, both rural and urban, Boards of Trade
and other orgeniza.tions could advantageously
finance such work. Every unemployed man in the
town or city who is placed on the farm becomes
immediately a producer, instead or a mere consumer
and a civic expense.

Test Your Seed
Test your seed for vitality,
too. Seed is not always as
good as it looks. For extunple,
oats, ouite normal in appearance
and weight, may be so badly
damaged by frost that their
value for seed is completely
destroyed. If you have any
doubt as to the quality of your
seed a sample ma3r be sent free
to the seedlaboratory at Ottawa,
or Calgary, for test. But in
most cases this simple test will
• provesufficient:- -
Take a saucer and tam pieces
of blotting paper. Place seed
between blotting papers. Keep
moist and m a warm place.
In a few days, you will be able
to see whether the vitality is
there. IC eglect to test your seed
may mean the loss of crop.
Increase *Your Live Stock
Breeding stock are today Canada's most valuable
asset. The one outstandiag feature of the world's
fanning is that there will soot be a great shortage
of meat supplies. Save your breeding stock. Plan
to increase your live stock. Europe and the United
States as well as Canada wffl pay higher prices for
beef, mutton and bacon in the very near future.
Do not sacrifice now. Remember that live stock is
the only basis for proeperoas agriculture. You are
