Are Canadian farmers getting the
full advantage of their home market?
A study of the import figures for the'
fiscal year ending March 31st last
reveals the amazing extent to which
the food stuffs we most pride - our-
selves in producing are imported for
consumption in Canada.
Take fruits for instance, Of apples
we imported 155,201 barrels wort'?
$77.5,819. They weren't all - early
apples either,. for 30,028 barrels were
brought in during March, ,During the
year we imported: Berries, $114,-
892; -cherries, $83,349; cranberries,
$212,894; grapes, $961,443; peaches,
$403,312; pears, $566,729; plums,
$303,495, and strawberries, ' $785,-
150;
785,-150; a total of .$3,907,083. Add to
this $1,786,522 for dried apples, apri-
cots, peaches, plums and prunes; and
$492,828 for canned peaches, jellies
and jams and imported fruits and
fruit juices being $26,409,235, be-
sides an item of $3,728,475 for nuts,
Much of this was, of course, for sub-
tropical fruits, but someof these
might be substituted, to our financial
and gustatory advantage, by home,
grown products. For instance, we
might eat more roast apples and few-
er oranges. While dealing with mat
tars -horticultural a bill for $1,064,-
311 for plants, shrubs, trees and
vines might be mentioned.
Coming to vegetables, our total bill
for the fresh article was $3,575,070,
of which cabbage accounted for
$187,689, onionsfor$487,009, pota-
toes for $537,291 and tomatoes for
$965,941, a total for these four com-
monly grown articles of ;;2,177,930.
Of canned vegetables we imported
$.626,210 worth; of sauces, catsups
and pickles, $518,660. Our total out-
lay for vegetables and vegetable pro-
ducts reached the considerable sum
of nearly $5,000,000.
We have a great dairying country
in Canada, yet we purchased abroad
during the year $1,844,212 worth of
milk and its products. This included
$1,349,819 for 3,767,573 lbs. of but-
ter, e327,022 22 for 1 1 of
0 9 65 7 1bs
cheese, $46,387 for candeased milk,
$92,710 for casein, and even $28,274
for sweet milk and cream. Our but-
ter importations were supplemented
by 1,165,440 lbs. of imported oleo-
margarine.
Our foreign grain bill amounted to
$11,275,68?, though this included
$7,695,280 for feed corn, and'
$2,020,596 for rice, of which 18,000,-
000 lbs; came from China. Milled
-products cost us $685,895, and pre-
pared foods and bakery products an-
other $500,000.
Our total imports under the head
"Agricultural and Vegetable Pro-
ducts, Mainly Food" came to the
rather startling total of $108,701,-
762, We could hardly be expected,
however, to produce our own tea,
coffee and spices, though we might
considerably reduce our sugar bill,
which now amouens to approximately
$40,000,000 a 'scar, by growing more
beets.
We also imported $20.935,29-S
worth of alcoholic -beverages, - which,
as we ail knew, are mostly derived.
from the prcdrtcts of the farm, It
may be, howce'er, _that some of our
exported grains and fruits returned
to us in this highly manufactured
form.—fl. D. Ceiquette, Dept. cf

The Mystery of Nitrogen.
Since animal life must depend
upon plant life for its support, we
must first learn how nitrogen gets
from the air into the plant. Every
farm boy has seen "the grain turn
yellow at times inthe very early
spring and especially that which was
growing in the dead furrows of the
fields. This ocdurs largely because
there isn't enough nitrogen in the
right form for theplants to get at
this time of the year. As a single
element existing alone, neither ani-
mals nor the green plants can use.
nitrogen, and yet the- air is the source
of the.entire supply for all life.
If we go 'back into, history of Ro-
man agriculture, we will find that
even the farmers of ;that time knew
enough --to grow legumes. Even
though all of this was known, it was
not until 1887 that the reason for it.
was discovered. Then it was that
the little swellings always found on
the roots of legumes were discovered
to contain countless numbers .bf min-
ute forms of life, now known as bac-
torte,. Later it was learned that these
litle workers had a great deal to do
with keeping the soil in fit condition
for the growing' of crops, for they,.
in their magic way of living; are cap-
able :of taking the nitrogen out of
the air that is in the soil and making
it become a part of the soil com-
pounds. In this way we have the
cheapest means of keeping up the
nitrogen supply of the soil.—Hoard's
Dairyman.

AFTER the fires under gigantic
ovens in bakeries have been
drawn, the bakers continue for hours
to bake bread, pies and cakes.
Why? Because the bricks of the
oven have retained the "flash" heat
of the fire and "stored" it.
So, too., once McClary's Electric
Oven has become thoroughly heated,
the current may be turned "off" and
the oven goes merrily along baking
for hours.
The same principle operates in

for (mmunity Action in
Control of European Corn Borer
No single farmer can expect to keep his
corn crop free of the European Corn Borer
unless all his neighbours are also fighting
the pest. For this reason some sort of co-
operation is essential. ' You can organize
yourwhole neighborhood by arranging a
mutual plan of campaign whereby' each
farmer undertakes to account for the,Corn.,
Borers on his own farm.
This plan will assist in bringing the
Corn Borer under control, but without such
co-operation, satisfactory results will not
be obtained:
A Very Important Point
Cut corn crop low and as soon as it is
ready. Burn all corn stalks. Garden sweet
corn should all be pulled early and burnt.
Plough down all corn stubble
very carefully. Seed to winter
wheat where possible. Write for
