EVen such an impor- tant wheat producing country as France has an average ield of only two bushels per acre igher than Canada, while both Italy and flu-- mania have lower yields per acre, ins, Dominion Field The average yield per acre of wheat over a period of 23 years, for the following chief exporting coun- tries of the world, is as follows: Canada 17.8 bushels, United States 14.1 bushels, India 113, Argentine 10.6, and Australia 10.4. In Russia the average yield over a period of fif- teen Years, was 9.4 bushels er acre. It wi 1 be seen, therefore, t at Can- ada enjoys some considerable advan- tage over other exporting countries. This advantage is due in part to a natural adaptation of wheat to the soil and. climate of this country, and. also, to improved methods of cultivation as well as to better var- ieties of wheat which have been in- troduced by scientific agriculture. Nevertheless, in spite of this fa- vorable showing in average yield DEPflCre, Canada is unfortunate in havmg the greatest variation from year to year of any large exporting country in the world. This large var- iation exists not only between in- dividual years but also between av-i erages of two successive year per- iods and of five successive year per- iods. The lowest yield per acre ever secured in Canada as a whole. was 10.1 bushels in 1919, while the high- est yield was 26.0 bushels in 1915. The five. year periml, from 1917 to 1921, had an average yield of only 12.8 bushels per acre. while the five year period. from 1901 to 1906. had- an average yield of 21:3 bushels per acre. Australia, while having less variation than Canada in bushels per acre, has a larger variation in per 1cent of the average yield. For ex- ‘ample. in Australia in 1903 the aver- Iage yield was only 2.33 bushels per acre. while in 1921 the highest yield on record. it was 16.0 bushels per acre. The. outstanding facts. tiwn, in the Canadian production of whoat are that. tho. awragn yiold nor arm is much iwitnr than in any nthor ox- pnrting country in the world but that, unfortunately. the Variation from year to year is also greater than in any nthar country. The» rea- sun for this great Variation in yield is due predominately to variation in rainfall. When the season is dry. the yield is small. It is selfâ€"evi- dent, therefore. that experimental work is urgently required to try to improve this condition. It is the object of Experimental Farms to ex- periment. in order to discover meth- ods of farming which will reduce the injurious effects of dry years. The high average yield per acre, which Canada now enjoys in com- parison with that of other coun~ tries, is due in quite a large part to the results of scientific agricul- ture. There remains et the diffi- cult task of reducing t e losses suf- fered in dry years. ~ NH!” “YT".CWHE itiveneas.

Mr. Mundle is one of the pioneers of that section, and sixty-three years’ residence on the same farm is his long record. Need- less to say, both Mr. and Mrs. Mun- dle are widely known through their long residence in the community and are held in affection and esteem by a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. They were fittingly remembered on their golden anni- versary with gifts, remembrances and congratulations from friends and relatives near and far. That they may survive to celebrate their dia- mond wedding and then many morej anniversaries was the sentiment that permeated the, greetings they re- eeived. There are. still severa sur- viving. who attended the ceremony , half a century ago, including the . 'hridesmaid, who was the bride‘s sis- », ter. Mrs. W. J. Young of Durham. ; and the best man.
