WE DELIVER PHONE o1 FOR SERVICE a8 Housing Facilities ELECTRICITY A close approximation of the ex- tent to which elcetricity is now used in Canadian homes, in all parts of the country, will be obtained when the Ninth Decennial Census of Cana- da is taken in June this year. Serv- ing .more Canadians now than ever before, it forms- the keystone of in- dustry and our rising standard of liv- ing. Iixtension of service has reached -| new peaks in recent years, especially to rural areas, and the work is still progressing. It is opening up large new areas to industrialization, and making the advantages of modern conveniences and labour-saving ma- chinery available to farm and other rural homes. . The census cnumerator will ask every fifth houscholder what principal lighting facilities are in use, and com- parison with the 1941 Census figures will provide an accurate measure of the progress made in the decade. The 1941 Census- revealed that 69 per cent of all Canadian households used electricity for lighting purposes. 1In a sample survey conducted by the Bureau in the fall of 1949, it was found that the proportion had risen to 86 per cent--a striking rise in a period. of less than nine years. Metropolitan areas are practically 100 per cent electrified and the smal- ler urban areas almost wholly so. It ig in the rural areas that the greatest strides in electrification have recently been made. Only 20 per cent of farm portion had risen sharply to 50 per cent in 1949. About 60 per cent of rural non-farm homes were served with electricity in 1941, but in 1949 the figure was up to 79 per cent, TS, » aL. T. ing the first eleven months of 1950 per cent over 1949. The sheep and lamb" population. has been declining for seven: years, but this decline may have ended in. 1950. Production of milk and eggs dur- exceeded by about one per cent and six per cent, respectively, the compar- able 1949 output. Except for 1945, milk production in the eleven-month period was the largest on record. Milk 'production in November -was slightly below that of November of last year. Production of poultry and meat was greater in 1950 than in the previous year. -- ------ Ceo "OSCAR" FOR DOCUMENTARY: The British Film Academy has a' warded 'one of its gold statuettes to British Ministry of Pensions film | "The Undefeated" as the best docu. mentary of 1950.

It was greater than the aver- age of the previous eight years and was exceeded only in 1948 and in 1949. The index of crop production in 1950 was 126 per cent of the 1923- 32 base. Record crops of soybeans, sugar-beets and sorghum grains, and high production of oats, barley, po- tatoes, 'tobacco, hay and sugarcane, contributed to the high index. The harvested area of wheat in 1950 was 61.7 million acres, compared with 76.6 million acres in 1949, but the yield per acre was higher 'in 1950 than in t previous year. The 1950 crop total led 1,026.7 million bushels. as com- 'pared with 1,141.2 million bushels in 1949. In 1950, about 8.7 million acres less of corn was harvested than in 1949. The total production was 3,- 131 million bushels in 1960 as com- pared with 3,379.4 million bushels in 1949; A cotton crop: of-less than-10 million bales provided -the most out- standing exception to the trend of higher production. Cattle, calf and hog numbers in- creased during 1950, but the sheep and 'lamb population declined.
