She is present the lo 40 find t c The Census and Statistics Office in a'bllletin recently issned states that according to Fetruns from its crop correspondents; made on May 6th, about 19 per ceat. of the area sown to fall wheat in Ontario has been winter-killed, this percentage representing a reduction of $132,000 acres, that is from 594,000 acres, the area sown, to 562,000 acres, the area expected to be harvested. In | Alberta, the other large fall wheat | province, fall wheat has been killed of 15.6 per cent. repre< senting 36,000 acres, which will make the area to be harvested 193, 000 instead of 229,000 acres the area sown last fall. At the corres~ ponding date last year the per cen- | tages reported of falk wheat killed during the winter of 1912-13 were for Ontario 18 per cent. and for Al- berta 43.5 per cent., so that whilst | the winter killing of wheat in Oa- tario is this year slightly more than it was last year in Alberta it is con- siderably less. This favourable re- sult is attributable to the mild win- 1ter inthe west. The total 'area es- [timated to be sown to fall wheat, lincluding besides Ontario and Al berta 3,000 acres in Manitoba, 78,- {000 acres in Saskatchewan and 2,- 700 acres in British Columbia, was [1,006 006,700 acres, now. reduced by in Ontario and Al- berta to 838,700 acres, Honest Elections Restored ne SPLENDID SUCCESS King Edward | L 0.
