Iâ€"W FIELD DROPS IN [Lil‘llllimE ml? “Am BRITAIN MUST BUILD SHIPS. All in Ontario in Good Condition, But Parts of the West Suffered From Drought. A despatch from Ottawa says: The monthly crop report of the Census and Statistics Office, issu-l ed on Thursday, shows that the con-| dition of field crops throughout Canada at the end of June was gen- erally satisfactory, with the excepâ€" tion of parts of the west where drought had done considerable damage. Fall wheat for all Can- ada is reported at 85.4 per cent. of standard condition. The condition of all the field crops is good in Ontario, the highest beâ€" ing 94.24 for fall wheat and the lowâ€" est 84.79 for spring wheat. Quebec crops range from 74.45 for 'mixed grains to 102.58 for hay and clever. . Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alâ€" berta have low averages through- out, owing to a light rainfall in June. The general condition of the crops in Manitoba is much below the average. Correspondents in nearly every district report no rains, only a few light showers, and hot, dry winds that absorb the mois- ture and wither the crops. l The lowest average condition is reported from around Brandon and Morden, and the highest from Marquette, where it is placed at a. standard. In Saskatchewan the crops donot appear to have suffered from clima- tic eonditions to the same extent as in either Manitoba or Alberta, us there have been many local showers. The reports from Lloydminster, Battleford, Indian Head and Qu’- Appelle are very favorable, the condition of the wheat being placâ€" ed at 100 and over. The prevailing condition of crops in that part of Alberta south of townships number three and num- ber thirty is below the average, in consequence of the drought and hot winds. In the Edmonton district the grains, although suffering to some extent from the same causes, are in much better condition. The btst reports come from the Strath- cona district, and those from Atha- basca Landing and Saddle Lake districts are also particularly fav~ arable. ~_â€"â€"â€"__â€"â€"â€"â€"_â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€" COUNT UP CANUCK HEADS â€"â€" HOW THE CENSUS OF THE D0- MINION WILL BE TAKEN. â€"â€".... Inquisitive Gentleman Will Call First of Next June and Ask all About You. The next census of Canada will be taken under date of June 1st, 1911, and will embrace the subjects of population, mortality, agricul- ture, manufactures, minerals, fish- eries and dairy products. Population will be recorded un- der the heads of residence and per- sonal description; citizenship, na- tionality and religion; profession, occupation and trade, or means of living; wage earnings and insur- ance; education and language spo- ken, and infirmities. Every person living on the 1st of June will be entered on the sched- ule of population by name, as mem- ber of a family, institution or household, together with place of habitation, sex, relationship to head of the family or household, anc‘ whether single, married, wi- dawed, divorced or legally separat- ed. The month of birth, year of birth and age at last birthday will also be recorded. WHERE YOU COME FROM. Entries will be made for each perâ€" son to show the country or place of birth, year of immigration to Can- ada if born elsewhere, year of na- turalization if formerly an alien, and also racial or tribal origin, naâ€" tionality and religion. Every per- son of alien birth who has become a. naturalized citizen is a Canadian by nationality; and every British subject with residence in Canada, ‘ as well as every native of Canada who has acquired citizenship by birth or naturalization, is also a Canadian by sationality. But there Canadian by nationality. But there is no Canadian by racial or tribal origin, unless the Indians are so counted. WHAT YOU DO. Every person having an occupa- tion or trade will be entered for it, but if employed in the census year at some other occupation for part or whole time he will be so recorded also. If the person is working on own account, the entry will be so made. An entry is also required to be made showing where the person is employed, as on farm, in woollen mill, at foundry shop, in drug store, etc. Wageâ€"earners are entered to show the number of weeks employed in 1910 at chief occupation or trade; at other than chief occupation, if any; the hours of working time per week at chief occupation, or at other oc- cupation, if any; the total earnings in 1910 at chief occupation; the to- tal earnings at other than chief oc- cupation; asd the rate per hour when employed by the hour. E“tries are required to be made for each person showing the amount of insuranceheld at date of the census upon life, as well as against accident or sickness, together with the cost of such insurance in the census year. WHAT YOU KNOW. Under the heading of education ard language records will be taken for every person of five years of age and over showing the number of months at school in 1910, and if the person can read and write, and the language commonly spoken by each person. The cost of education in 1910 for persons over 16 years of age at college, convent or univer- sity is also called for. WHAT AILS YOU. The last question on the sched- ule of population relates to infirmi- ties. It calls for a record of each person having an infirmity. If bllnd, deaf and dumb, crazy or lu- natic, idiotic or silly, a record thereof will be made in the proper column, and the age at which the infirmity appeared is required to be specified. __...,â€"....IZL..__â€"- Dorothy Hastie, aged eight years, tvco hundred miles of hitherto inâ€" dependent railroads in eastern On- tario.

A despatch from Ottawa says: An order in Council has been pass- ed bringing into force regulations governing the inspection of pre- served fruits, vegetables and milk under the meat and canned foods act. The regulations apply only to the inspection of canned foods for export from Canada, or from one Province to another. They are sim- ilar to regulations now in force governing cleanliness and sanitary conditions in factories and slaugh- ter-houses handling meat for ex- port trade. It is provided that all operations in connection with the Qrcpurntion of packing of products in establishments coming within the scope of the act shall be carried on with the strictest regard for cleanliness and public health. All fruits, vegetables, milk or other articles used for canning purposes must be in a wholesome condition, buildings must be kept clean and well lighted, no injurious drug, dye or preservative may be used, and ail employees must be free from tuberculosis or any other commu- nicable disease. All cans must have labels giving the name of the packâ€" er, the date of packing, and a true and correct description of the con- tents. REPORTS FROM THE LEADING TRADE CENTRES.

That being so, we must make our programme ac- cordingly.” Mr. Asquith repudiated the sug- gestion that the'British expenditure was in any sense hostile to Ger- many. .

Very few of good quality are coming forward, and while there was a good inquiry for stockers of from 900 to 1,000 pounds, buyers seemed rather unwilling to pay the prices that were asked.

There is not much demand . at presentfor milk cows, prices 0 I which are a little off. Although there was a good supply of hogs on the market, the prices were advanc- cd to $9.40 fed and watered, and $9 in the country.
