.CANADA'S POPULATION
Is NOW 5, 769, 489

Ottawa, Ont.-(A P)-Complete
census returns show Canada's popu-
lation to be 8,769,489 as compared
with 7,206,643 in 1911, an increase
for the ten years of 1,562,S46 or
nearly 22 per cent according to final
figures announced by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics.
In reviewing these figures,
the Bureau reports point out,
that for practically five years of the
last decade, Canada was involved in
the world war and during that time
immigration was stopped from the
British Isles and Europe and greatly
curtailed from the United States.
For two years prior to the war. i'm
migration to Canada reached is peak.
The Dominion sent overseas more
than 100000 fighting men. Sixty
thousand of these were killed and
125.00O were wounded. In addition
more than 100000 men in Canadian
army were engaged in military occu
pations on this side of the ocean.
During the war period, marriage and
the establishment Of homes were far
below normal
Taking into consideration the
tragic occurrences of the decade, the
increase of population In Canada ID
as substantial as could be expected,
it is noted.

FARMERS in
( HOPEFUL MOOD
WHEAT In GOOD CONDITION.
WHL PRODUCE CROP AT
4 MINIMUM COST.

While the Palouse country has been
covered with snow for an unusually
long period, and, with the arrival OF
the first day of spring, there are
still many drifts on the north hill
slopes, farmers who have been in the
district for many years call attention
to the fact that farm work is not be-
ing delayed, as it is not infrequently
the middle of April before the ground
is in condition for spring seeding.
The snow is leaving gradually and the
moisture soaking into the ground and
there is no washing, even on the
steepest hillsides.
The large acreage of fall sown
wheat has come through the winter
in good condition and there is every
reason to believe that the usual
spring acreage will be put in. Wealth
er conditions were especially favor
able last fall for the farmers, and
considerably more than the average
amount of fall plowing and other
work was accomplished, leaving no
hangover of work for the spring.
Farmers in the Paiouse country are
optimistic over the conditions. There
is every reason to expect an average
yield of wheat from an acreage fully
up to average, and to expect fair
price for the crop. The work SO far
on the 1922 crop has been done at
cost much below that of several years
past and the farmers feel that they
have good opportunity to make
legitimate profit from the crop, while
they have lost money on the last two
crops, owing to the sharp decline in
prices, while the cost of production
near the peak
The farmers have their machinery
in readiness to get into the fields as
soon as the ground is dry enough,
which it is certain now will not be
before the first of April
