In Ontario, on the other hand, 200,000 farms are pro-; 'ducing revenue every week in the year. There is no feverish climax, But this| steady return over which the wenther | has relatively little control runs up a tremendous total at the end of the year, exceeding by a third the gross agricultural revenue from the leading Prairie Province, Saskatchewan. It is almost double the output of Manitoba and Alberta combined. A year ago the total revenue re- ceived by Ontario farmers was esti- . | mated by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics at $400,611,000, compared with | $676,470,000 received by. their fellow- 'workers in the three Prairie Provinces.
