The agricul- tural statistics for 1919, which have Just been compiled and published by the Ontario Bureau 'of Statistics, bring out In dollars and cents the wealth represented in the farming interests of the entire province, and fronr these it is possiple to gather some idea of what this industry means to Eastern Ontario. For the purpose of this article, the ccunties adjacent to Kingston only have been taken, namely, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, Leeds, Grenville, Lanark, Hastings and Prince Edward, d the following summary of each a these counties will show their standing in agriculture, the value of their agricultural resources in 1919, and, in some cases, a comparison with the other counties which makes up the fifty-three counties in Ontario. Frontenac Rural Aréa Assessed. Frontenac is not what can be term- ed a largely agricultural county. There is too large a percentage of waste land and woodland. The total rural area assessed amounts to 692,- 679 acres. Of this amount only 260,838 acres, or 37.66 per cent. can be classed as cledred land. 74,765 acres are woodland, 169,334 acres slash land, of which Frontenac has the second high®st total of any | county in the province, and 197,642 | acres gee waste, marsh or swamp land. Frontenac has a larger acre- |age of waste land than any other | county in Ontario. ' | Field Crops. The field crops of Frontenac em- { brace practically all kinds of grain grown in Ontario. Four hundred jacres of fall wheat sown in 1919 vielded a crop of 7,400 bushels, aver- | aging 18.5 bushels to the acre and | bringing a financial return of $18,- | 811.

Oats was the largest of the | grain crops, the acreage being 36,038. | The total oat crop amounted to 670,- | 307 bushels, averaging 18.6 bushels per acre, and valued at $688,405. | Peas and beans were small crops, the | former amounting to 8,795 bushels grown on 615 acres, averaging 14.8 bushels per acre and selling for $22,- | 471, and the latter being sown on 292 | acres, producing 4,000 bushels, an average of 13.7 bushels to the acre, and valued at $5,102. Rye was sown on 953 acres, and produced a total crop of 14,390 bushels, averaging 15.1 bushels to the acre. The value of the crop was $22,261. Buckwheat produced a crop of 63,721 bushels on 2,286 acres, an average of 28.5 bushels to the acre, valued at $74,- 081. Only thirty-five acres of flax were sown, but these produced 210 bushels which sold at $1,088, Mixed gralns were grown on-3,424 acres, and produced a crop amounting to 76,698 bushels, an average of 22.4 bushels to the acre.

Coming to root crops, potatoes Were an easy first, the favorite tuber being grown on 3,375 acres, yielding a crop of 224,438 bushels, an aver- age of 66.56 bushels to the acre. As high prices for potatoes were the rule in disposing of the 1919 crop, the value.of potatoes is placed at $404, 662, Turnips were sown on 333 acres, producing a crop of 82,917 bushels. The average per acre was 294 bushels, and the value of the You are sure of satis- faction when your table Toa and coffee | ie comfort, and ater DE attractive because so moderate.

The acreage of hay was i 87.900 acres, from which were cut | 146,793 tons of hay, an average of | 1.67 tons to the acre. As the price | for hay ruled high during the entire | period, it brought in the splendid sum of $3,002,929.

NURSES ARE MANY BUT PATIENTS FEW MucH_Gnem yment Provails Amongst Nursing Profes- sion in Montreal. | Montreal, Nov. 19.--Much wedi] ployment exists at present among jhe nursing profession of Montreal. The principal cause of this condition, it | is said, is the generally good state of the public health, but other rea- sons are also advanced. One is the in- creased schedule of charges for at- tendance which came into effect a fow months ago and which, poseibly, has the effect of limiting the demand to. those cases where nurses are abso- lutely necessary. The previous charge was $3.75, now it 1s $5. Another rea- son given js the large number of nurses who have been released from military service, increasing the avail- able supply for civil employment. ---------- Tino Their Hero Now; Demonstration in Athens i Athens, Nov. 19.--The streets of Athens yesterday were filled with soldiers bearing olive branchés and had been forbidden for three years.
