Page Eight THE COLBQRNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 25th, 1935 The Canada Year Book, 1934-5 The publication of the 1934-35 edition o£ the Canada Year Book is bounced" by the"'General Statistics pranch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The Canada Year Book the official statistical annual of the country and contains a thoroughly up-to-date account of be natural resources of the Dorr, ion and their development, the history of the country, its institutions, its demography, the different branches of production, trade, transportation, finance, education, etc.--in brief, a comprehensive study within the limits of a single volume of the social and economic condition of the Dominion. This new edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and includes in all its chapters the latest information available up to,the date of going to press. The 1934-35 Canada Year Book extends to over 1,250 pages, dealing ■with every phase of the national life 'ind more especially with those susceptible of statistical measurement. Attention may be specially directed to the statistical summary of the progress of Canada included in the introductory matter and giving a picture in figures of the remarkable progress which the country has made since the .first census of the Dominion was taken in 1871, sixty-four years age. Attention may be called to some of the special features of the present volume. There is included in Chapter I a brief description of Standard Time and Time Zones in Canada, which is of special interest to those who travel either in the flesh or by radio. There will be found in Chapter III a discussion of the Representation Act of 1933 and a special table showing the populations as in 1931 of each of the new electoral districts which will return representatives to Parliament at the approaching general election. Probably the most extended presentation of the results of the Census of 1931 that will appear in the Year Book is to be found in Chapter IV, where Religions are cross-analysed by racial origin for the first time, and several new classifications are added to the section dealing with birthplaces; the chapter closes with statistics of the areas and populations of countries of the British Empire for the years 1911, 1921 and 1931 and of the countries of the world for 1931. The Mines and Minerals Chapter, together with the discussion of the new discoveries of economic geology in Chapter I, will be of interest to those who are concerned with this rapidly glowing branch of our economic life. Again, attention may be directed to the improvement of the introduction to the External Trade Chapter as well as to the final statistics of the Census of Distribution and Services of 1930, to which has been added a more summary treatment of retail trade based upon a 65 to 70 p. c. sample of all retail trade and covering the years 1931 to 1933. In the Labour and Wages Chapter may be noted the inclusion of tables showing both the occupational and the industrial distribution of the gainfully occupied population of the Dominion as in 1931. In the Public Finance Chapter appears, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of provincial revenues, expenditures, assets and liabilities on the basis agreed upon at the Dominion-Provincial Conference of 1933; additional material regarding national income is also included in this chapter. The Currency and Banking Chapter includes a description of the new Bank of Canada and a classification of bank loans by industries and of deposits by amounts. In the Miscellaneous Administration Chapter there appears a study of Liquor Control, liquor sales arid revenues arising therefrom, and the concluding chapter lists the honours and awards made by His Majesty the King to Canadian subjets from the resumption of the granting of titles in Canada (in January, 1934) to June, 1935. The volume is illustrated by many maps and diagrams and the latest avaVJible data are- everywhere in-cl 'ded.

Sii larly, with beef cattle, under winter feeding conditions it requires heavy feeding of expensive grains to n a gain of two pounds a day, while on fresh spring pasture, two-year-old steers have been known to gain 400 to 500 pounds in a pasture season, gain of two pounds a day over a p ture season of 150 days, or a total of 300 pounds increase, is considered good average. At the mominal rate of $2 per head per month for cultivated pasture, this gain is a good fifty per cent, cheaper than could be obtained under winter feeding condi- There is something in tne advertisements to-day to interest you.

An active-acidity test together with a knowledge of crop requirements as to soil type and acidity will determine to a large degree the suitability of soils for various crops. Such a, test will indicate quite definitely whether lime is required. Where lime is needed, the quantity required to reduce the acidity of a particular soil to a suitable point for a specific crop can be determined. This is one of the services rendered by the Dimdnion Experimental, at Harrow, upon Where a field is not producing the crop it should, the acidity of the soil may be a limiting factor. In such 3 case it is certainly advisable to have the soil tested for acidity^ Soil samples should be carefully taken with a clean spade at representative places in the field. A sample from very productive area is often helpful for comparison. One-half pint of soil is sufficient for such a test, but this should be taken from a well mixed larger representative sample. A brief history of the field should accompany each soil sample, which can either be mailed or brought to the above address for determination.
