Farmer armer d Furnished by the Department of Agriculture ) Production of creamery butter in Canada for the month of January, 1936,.totalled 9,388,090, lbs., an in- crease of 1'7.4 per cent, or 1,389,949. pounds,compared with January, 1935. According to the annual report on farm ,values. for 1935, there were 2,- 831,337 horses ,-831,337:horses in Canada during that year; 3,849,200 milch cows; 4,971,400 other cattle:—total cattle, 8,820,600; sheep, 3,399;1Q0; and swine, 3,540,- 200. Although` the nuitbei , of ani- mals was less than in 1934, the value was considerably greater, showing 'an increase of. 18 per cent, or a total of $75,489,000. The average values per head of live stock ,in Canada in 1935 were estimated as follows, (with the 1934 values in brackets):horses '$65 ($57) milch cows, '$35 ($29); other cattle, $22 ($17); sheep 35.02 ($4.18); swine $11.77 ($9.89). The average value of unwashed wool per pound was esti- mated at 12 cents as compared with 10 cents in 1934. Wheat Exports The exports of Canadian wheat to Great Britain during the first. three months of 1946, namely 11,604,- 111 cwt. 'showed an increase of near-' ly 70 per cent over the quantity ship- ped hi the corresponding months of 3935, Awing the same period, Cana- ' Mian fourexports to B> ithi►li cr.4lvanc- @d fiorn $83,084 c}yt, ip.

The area devoted to winter wheat in 1935' was 555,100 as compared with 425,600 acres in 1934, Production amounted to 12,601,000 bushels as compared with 6,724,000 in 1984, when the crop was badly winter -killed.. The 1935 price was 71 cents as compared with 88 cents in 1934. Dry weather during the summer of. 1935 and pressure of work in harvest- ing a large crop of spring grain re- sulted in less fall wheat being sown. The acreage seeded does not exceed 70 per cent of that soivn in the fall of 1934. Excellent weather condi- tions, however, have resulted in bet- ter crop prospects. There is no carry-over of winter wheat. That of lower grade is fed to livestock and there is a good de- Mand of high quality for the manu- facture of pastry flour' and cereal products. Considering wheat as a cash crop as one which affords an oppprtunity for weedcontrol and di- vision of labor, the, acreage next year should reach at least normal levels in the fall' wheat areas.. Spring wheat yields are much low- er than those of winter wheat. The 1935 crop of 98,800 acres produced 1,857,000 bushels. The greatest pro- duction it in the northern and east- ern counties. i Weeds in Cereal and Grass Seeds With reference to weed • classifica- tion and seed grades under the Seeds Act, weeds are classified into three' groupsaccording to the seriousness of their character. The first group consists of primary noxious weeds, the nine members of which are couch grass, ,bladder .Campion, dodder, field bindweed, Johnson grass, ox -eye daisy, perennial sow thistle, white cockle and wild mustard. The second group is known as the secondary nox- ious, which includes ball mustard, blue weed, Canada thistle, chicory field peppergrass, ., cow cockle,' darnel, docks, foln flax, forked • catchfly, hare's ear mustard, night, flowering catchfly,purple cockle, ragweed (common, great and perennial),' rib - grass; •'Russian thistle, l stikeweed, stink -weed, tumbling mustard, • wild carrot, wird oats and wild radish.: The third group contains a long list of• lesser weeds such as catsnip, lamb's quarters, Cinque foil, etc, No .seeds of group' one, primary noxious weeds, are allowed in grades No. 1 and No, 2 for seeds of cereals and other field crops, but allowance is made in grade No., 3 of cereal and field crop seeds for five primary nox- ious weed seeds, or 15 primary and secondary weed seeds'" combined 100 weed seeds- of all kinds• and 800. seeds of. other cultivated plants per. pound. No. 1 grade for seed of clovers and grasses allows noseeds of primary .noxious weeds. No. 2 grade allows five primary noxious weed seeds per ounce or 20 primary and secondary weed seeds combined per ounce, while No. 3 grade allows .25 primary nox- ious weed seeds, or 80 primary and secondary noxious weed seeds com- bined, or a total of 500 weed seeds per ounce. The use of seed grain that has not been well cleaned is re- sponsible for the introduction of many new weeds and the increase of `hose already in the land. Fruit Crop 'Values Estimates of the 1935, fruit crop of ,Canada placed the value at $18,562,- 000, as compared with $15,759,500 for 1934 and $15,412,000 for the five- year average 1930-34. Canadian fruit growers received a larger return for their crop last year than in any yearn; since 1929. =^' �'�t�• tsi'swrr- Apples accounted for slightly more than two-thirds of the total value of Ithe 1935 fruit crop, when the apple production was 4,432,700 barrels val- ued at $12,452,100. The average value per barrel of the 1935 crop is placed at $2,89 compared with $2.15 in 1034 and $2,24 for the five-year average. Strawberries held second place amongst Canadian fruits in total value of production and the 1935 crop of 26,199,000 quarts, valued rat $2,- 249,000 2;249,000 was well above the five-year average of 19,435,600 quarts, worth $1,785,900. Peaches and grapes which in past years have been amongst the leaders, slipped down the scale in 1935 owing to the lower average value per unit. Third place is occupied by the rasp- berry crop which reports a total value of $903,500 for 1935 as com- pared with $824,300, for 1934 and the five-year average of. $835,800. British Columbia apples made the largest single contribution to the gross value of the 1935 crop of fruit. [Nova Scotia with a .somewhat larger production but.a lower value per•bar- rel was a good second while Ontario's apple crop valued at slightly less than $2,000,000 was the' only other item which passed the million dollar mark. Quebec apples yielded the highest returns to growerswith an average value of four dollars per barrel. Production of pears is confined chiefly to Ontario and British Colum- bia and these 'two 'provinces produce most of the plums, peaches and cher- ries. Ontario accounts for practical- ly all the grapes while British Colum- bia, Ontario and Quebec together grow the great bulk of the strawber- ries and raspberries. ' Germany Preparing,Wel- j conte For Canada When the Third World's Poultry Congress was .held in Ottawa in 1927, the large contingent of visitors from• Germany carried away with them feelings of the deepest appreciations of the open hospitality they received in the Canadian Capital and other parts. of Canada they visited. They made a point of making this appre- ciation widely known, and now after nine years the kindly thought is to be translated into deeds, It is Can- ada's turn to visit .Germany for the Sixth World's Poultry Congress which is to be opened at Leipzig on July 24th next. Not only the. Ger- 'mans who visited Ottawa in 1927, but the officials of the Congress and the German Government are making spe- cial preparations to welcome the Canadian contingent •' and repay the self-imposed debt of gratitude to Canadian hospitality. Several messages, official and otherwise,: '..foreshadowing a grand welcome to Canadians have been re- ceived'in Canada, and, as. crystallizing' 011 the various expressions of pleasure the forthcoming visit of Canadians has aroused, an extract from a letter received in Ottawa from the Chairman of one of the Congress committees in Leipzig may be quoted—"In recol- lection of the wonderfully kind recep- tio which the German representatives enjoyed while attending the Ottawa Congress, the authorities of the Con- gr•ess and the people of Leipzig wish to assure Canadian visitors of a most. hearty and cordial welcome." In addition to the special prepare - ' tion for the visiting Canadians during the Congress which will be in session from July 24 to August 2, 1936, a tour commencing. August , 3 has been ar- ranged for a clay to three -days 'stay at. each of the 'iambus German'cities of Nuremberg, Munich, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam. The Hague in Holland will be visited later, prior to the return to. London. • The sailing date from Canada to the Sixth World's Poultry Congress is July 10 from Montreal, and the arri- val at Liverpool is scheduled for July 17. Instead of going direct to Leip- zig, a tour will be made of London, Paris, Geneva, Lucerne,, and -Basle before - joining the Congress on July 23: HAPPENINGS OF.

KIRI{W.00D Review 1935, issued by the Live (Copyright) Stock Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Not 'theleast of these features was an average price somewhat higher than M1934, despite a lower average price for bacon in the British ,market during' part of the year. This situation developed out of strong competition for the vis- ible supply of hogs, and, from the producer's 'point of view, made a sat- isfactory Market' The trade made commitments . to the British' bacon market -in excess of those of the pre- vious- year, apparently at .times when the market was somewhat opt ofline with profitable- business. c' With regard to Canada's place in the British bacon market, the Do- minion• regained her position in 1934 as the second country in 'volume of supply to that market. This position was further consolidated in 1935 through heavier sliipnients in a smal- ler total volume pf imports into the United 'Kingdon from all sources., In respect to ham supplies, Canada also held second place, and here again of- fered larger volume in a smaller total import than during the previous year. Denmark continued to secure by far the largest share of the British' im- port bacon trade, and during the year the Irish Free State made a substan- tial 'gain in volume of. product sold.

Just'the same, the fundamental laws of life will remain unchanged, and these fundamental laws of life call on 'all men and women to live lives of purity, nobility, honesty and industry. Despite all the conflicting policies and views and creeds of individuals and nations, the Ten Commandments remain fundamental commandments for all of us who believe in a here- after for human beings. Much as I may dislike communism, facism and socialiser, I behold in each of them an honest effort of men of good in- tent to find a way of social life which will be of benefit to all the people. What so many of us forget is that life lived at its best is not acquisitive —a purposeful effort to get more of what may be called the material and perishable things of life — money, houses, land anti power. Life is given us for individual self -develop- ment and for living honorably and decently, with a full regard for the rights, happiness and welfare of oth- ers. Living sinfully, grossly, selfish- ly, ruthlessly does not make for earth- ly success or happiness. We who live in Canada should re- gard ourselves as being fortunate in the extreme.
