GRAIN AND OTHE_R CROPS.

OTTAWA, April 20.- A press bulle-

lib issued today by the Census and Statistics Office, gives the result of the usual annual inqliiry as to thc stocks of grain' and other crops 're-

maining in the hands of farmers on March 31s , and the proportion of the crops harvested in the previous year which turned out to be of merchant- able quality. The returns received from crop-reporting correspondents' show that of the total estimated yield of wheat in 1914, 12% per cent, or 20,247,000 bushels remained in farm- ers' hands at the end oi’ March. At the rate of' 1% bushel per acre this quaint' ity should allow of the sowing this spring of about 11,570,000 acres, or 1,522,000 acres more than were sown in the spring of 1914, independently of quantities of wheat stored in eleva tors which may be returned to farm- ers for seeding purposes. The quant- ity of wheat remaining tllis year in the hands of farmers, is however smaller than in any previous year in

prices being together responsible for this result. ln 1914 the quantity of wheat estimated lo be ill farmers’

record, the light crop and the high b

portions of the previous year's pro- duction estimated to be in farmers' hands on March 31st are also smaller than in 'any former year on record. Oats show it balance of 85,843,000 bus- hels, or 27 per cent, barley 7,430,400 bushels, or 20% per cent, rye 343,700 bushels, or 17 per cent, buckwheat 1,- 792,500 bushels, or 21 per cent, corn for husking 2,928,000 bushels, or 21 per cent. and flax-seed 740,700 bushels or 10 per cent. Of potatoes which gave the excellent yield last year ot' 85,672,- 000 buslieis, 37.7 per cent, or 32,310,- 000 bushels were in farmers' hands on March 31st, this propofioll being larger‘than in any of the last five years, excepting 1913 when 43 per cent, ol' 36,619,000 bushels remained over from the harvest of 1912. Of turnips alid other roots 10,207,000 bus- hels or 15 per cent remained over, and of hay and clover the quantity in farmers' hands is placed at 2.173.000 tons or 21 per cent of the total crop of I 10,259,000 tons.

That many insect pests are protec-

The department's specialist in charge of cereal and i’orage-insect_iil- vestigations recommends the pastur- ing of a. flock of sheep in these plac- es during the winter months as li most valuable measure for destroy- ing great numhers of insects that might later in the spring eprclul to and breed in adjoining ilel-'ls of grlain.
