Zurich Citizens News, 1961-06-01, Page 7THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1961 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE SEVEN Census Shows Change in Farms Canadian farms are becoming fewer, but at the same time lar- ger. According to previous census- es, the number of farms in Can- ada has dropped consistently in recent years. The 677,500 farms of 1941 had fallen to 619,400 in 1951 and to just 572,600 in 1956. That's a drop of 15 percent in 15 years. Despite the drop in number of farms, the total area of farm- land remained practically un- changed. The reason: the size of remaining farms expanded— from 237 acres in 1941 to 302.5 in 1956. Census officials expect the census which begins June 1 will show a continuation of these patterns. And the result will also help clarify a host of re- lated trends, both for the whole of Canada and its various reg- ions. For example, how signif- icantly has contract farming grown, How much farther has specialized farming advanced, Answers to such questions will be useful to farm organiza- tions, to industry which supplies goods and services to farmers, and to Federal and Provincial departments of agriculture in deciding on farm policies. Cen- sus totals, collected from every- one, are available to everyone. But, of course, the facts on any individual farmer are held in strict confidence. DASHVIOOD and DISTRICT (MRS. E. H.

In fact, the June census is expected to show that a good 75 percent of Canada's 4,000,000 -plus increase in population since 1951 stems from natural increase. The re- maining 25 percent is accoun- ted for by net migration. During the first half of the decade, natural increase was by far the major factor in the pop- ulation boost of all provinces ex- cept Ontario and British Colum- bia. In Ontario, it accounted for about 54 percent and in BC, 42 percent. For the nation as a whole, na- tural increase from 1951 to 1956 is credited with more than 70 percent of population growth. Of the 2,000,000 residents add- ed to the national scene, natur- al increase accounted for about 1,400,000. During the same five- year period, the nation attracted 780,000 New Canadians and lost 180,000 residents across her bor- ders, to chalk up a favourable balance of 600,000 in net migra- tion. In the period 1956-1961, the flow of immigration declined. Natural increase therefore ac- counted for a larger share of growth—estimated at 80 percent of the 2,000,000 boost. A more precise figure must await the June census. TOP PRICES PAID FOR — • CREAM • EGGS • POULTRY Give Us A Call ! O'BRIENS PRODUCE PHONE 101 -- ZURICH Green Onions Are Tasty Dish At This Time of Year Green onions are in the stor- es again; or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones with green onions in your garden. When buying green onions, look for fresh, green tops. The bulbs should be firm and not spongy. Small necks are usual- ly an indication of mild flavour, so for a more delicate flavour choose smaller onions. These vegetables are tasty and they are also packed full of nutrients. Four small green onions will supply one-half of the daily iVtamin C requirement say nutrition experts at Mac- donald Institute, Guelph, Small green onions are at their best served raw on a sal- ad plate, or chopped fine in a salad. Another favourite for lunchtime is a green onion sand- wich. Place green onions, cut vertically, between two slices of butter bread. Add salt and pepper and perhaps a touch of mayonnaise. Serve the sand- wich with Canadian cheddar chees and tomato juice. Plan on fresh fruit for dessert, and lunch is ready. One note: green onion rings give colour to your favourite potato soup. Add just before you are ready to serve. The man from Mutual life You may know him well. Perhaps he lives on your street and your children play with his children.
