CANADIAN FARMING.

An average yield of 1919 bushels
Of spring wheat is indicated by
threshers' reports which have been re-
ceived from all parts of the province
by the provincial department of ag-
riculture. The figures are not final,
being based upon only a partial list
of threshing returns, but are consid-
cred fairly representative of the Al
berta crop. The original estimate
was II bushels. The average of oats
is placed at 2S.37 bushels, and for
barley, 22.91 bushels.
During the first Is days of Octo-
Der, the three transcontinental rail
ways, Canadian Pacific, Canadian Ma
tionaL and Grand Trunk, handled A.
124 cars Of grain from the western
wheat fields to Port Arthur and Fort
William, according to figures OBJ
tanned from the statistics department
of the boar dof grain commissioners.
Of the total, the Canadian Pacific
handled 22,828 cars, the Canadian Ma
tional 1898, and the Grand Trunk
{, Alb cars.
Forty-eight million one hundred
and twenty-five thousand bushels is
the total of the wheat crop harvested
in Manitoba this year, according tc
the estimate of the provincial depart
ment of agriculture just published
The average yield to the acre is 1877
bushels from an area of 3,500,O0(
planted to wheat. The crop is about
10500,000 greater than that of las
year and is accounted for largely by
the fact that there was an increas'
of about 100000 acres in the are;
planted to wheat in 1920, due to al
increased number of farmers oper
ating.

DEATH RATES.. MONTANA VS..
UNITED STATES.

Preliminary announcement of the
u. S. Census Bureau indicates slight
increase in the general death rate
for the registration area from 12.9
per 1000 population in 1919, to 13.1
in 1921. Rates from pneumonia in
creased from 1885 per 100 600 popu-
lation in 1919 to 1878 in 1920; or
ganic heart disease from 131 to 141.9;
cancer, 80.5 to 80. Other diseases
which showed increases were whoop-
ing c-agh, measules, ccl11ral hem
clrhage, congenital de, lity and mai
formations, puerperal fever, scarlet
fever and appendicitis. A decrease
in tuberculosis is marked or. 1856
in 1919 to 114.2 in 1920;; also in in
fluenza, fIom 988 in 1919, to II =,
1920.
In comparing the registraticn area.
with those Of Montana it should be
kept in mind that death rates from
degenerative diseases in pioneer p3p-
ulations composed largely of young
adults may well be expected to be
lower than in older states, and ou1
balance looks good accordingly.

SERIOUS SHORTAGE

A fortune awaits the man who
finds satisfactory substitute for ash
and hickory tool handles, says the
United State Forest Service. These
two woods make up two-thirds of the
total used for hoe, axe, rake and other
handles. The supply is now primarily
dependent upon the only reserve of
virgin hard woods of any extent, the
southern Mississippi valley. Even
here the most accessible material has
been taken. A few large concerns
actually comb the country to secure
material. More and more it is be-
coming necessary to work into the
districts remote from transportation
facilities. Practically the entirecoun-
try within which hickory is found in
commercial quantities is thus covered.
In the case of ash the situation is
said to be even more serious. The
industry has preferred the denser
northern upland ash for handles. The
swamp-grown ash of the Mississippi
bottom lands has a smaller percent
age of the dense material and has
been less sought up to the present
time. This has greatly limited the
area from which the wood has been
secured. Ash in sufficient quantities
to support the handle and other COM
petlng industries is practically gone,
therefore, from the Middle Western
States north of Ohio. 1t is predicted
by one man throughly familiar with
conditiOnss that five years more viii
practically see the finish of ash timber
; in any quantity in this section.
: The demand for ash and hickory
! handles is so great that manufactur.
ers can not meet requirements. The
export demand is said to be ever
greater than before the war and Am
erican handles are being shipped t,
all parts of the world.
: While prices quoted are from tw,
. to three times those which obtained
D before the war, manufacturers stat,
n that in practice they are paying an,
r price necessary to get supplies. The!
: find themselves in active competition
: with other industries requiring hick
. ory and ash, and practicularly witt
the manufacturers of automobile
wheels.
One of the effects of the exhaustion
of local timber is the gradual elimin
alton of the small handle factories
When timber can no longer be Sc
cured locally, the only source of .hear
supplies, large organizations becom
essential in order to cover a large ter
ritory. Without the necessary cap
ital for this the small concern mus
give way to the large manufacture
There is said to be a steady drift to
ward concentration of handle manu-
facturer by large concerns and the iis
appearance of local industries.

fact, the Collector pointed out that
every corporation must file a return
or submit evidence that it is not
liable, on or before July 81, 1921.
The announcement seemed neces-

confusion exists in the minds OF the
taxpayers as to the liability to this
tax, which is a form OF excise based
on the fair value of capital stock
above $4,000. the exemption allowed

ity to the tax rests with the Com.
