Ottawa, Dec. 3. census and stati ics office, gives the! the compilation was made by the | bureau of industries. Compared with the census tables of 1901. for farm areas of five acres and over, the area of cleared or improved | land, in 1907, is 14,123 742 against | 13,203313 in 1901, an increase of | 900429 acres. The area of land in| all crops is 9,769.72, against 197.716; an increase of 367,008 acres And the area in orchard and vine-| yard is 326,200, against 261930; an | increase of 64,360 acres in six years. | The most notideable feature in the] comparison. of the harvests of 1900 | and 1907 is the large decrease in areas and production of fall wheat and spring wheat, which is no doubt a consequence of the larger and] cheaper production of these grains in| our North-West provinces. Oats, bar) ley, mixed grains, field roots. hay and clover, and corn for forage, ! which are fodder crops, show import-| ant iucreases of arcas, but owing sto | severe drought in some parts of the province, this year, there was a com-'| parative shortage of yield. There are dec s of both area and yield for | fall wheat, spring wheat, rve and] peas, and a decrease of vield for oats | and corn in ear. Comparing average | vield per acre there is an increase of 3.3 bushels for fall wheat; of 0.9 fo barley: of 2.2 for rye; of O.8 for bud and of 2.1 ri wheat; of 2.3 for peas, tons for forage corn, in 1907, over 1900: and a decrease of 4.1 bushels | for oats: of 9.1 for corn in ear, and of 1.6 for beans in the same years The 1901 census was taken at the | end of March, after the stock of 1900 | reduced by sale and slaugh- | 1907 had heer ter, whereas the census of gives figures for additions by natural increase. comparison by difference, there- does not exactly indicate the fore, growth of live stock on farms in period, and it is probable that number of sheep has largely decreased, the In the cases of horses and milch cows the comparison, by difference, is affected only in a small degree by « sales in the spring of the year, but in the case of other cattle, hogs and poultry numbers must be affected to a considerable extent by sales on one side and natural increase on the other. A Provincial Report. { Toronto, Dec. 2 --The [November crop bulletin has been issued by the! government and shows a falling off in yield in ny grains.
