year; 3,849,200 milch cows; 4,971,400
other cattle:—total cattle, 8,820,600;
sheep, 3,399;1Q0; and swine, 3,540,-

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.

Winter wheat is one of thebest
cash crops and a reliable source of

past grown as much as 1,000,000 ac-
res of this crop annually. 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

There were' several 'outstanding'
YOUR WORLD AND MINE
features in the 1935 leg Market,
states the - Sixteenth Annual Market by JOHN C. 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.

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. Our climate, even
with its severities of cold and heat, is
tolerable. We are not oppressed by
militarism. We have a personal, a
social, a religious incl a political
