A census bulletin shows that the land area of Canada is 1,401,316,388 acres, writes the Toronto correspondent of the Melbourne Argus. The area of occupied farms is 140,887,893 acres, or less than one-tenth of Canada, and nearly onehalt' of this is described as unimproved. In 190.1 the occupied farms were only 63,422,338 acres, and in 1.911 they were j.08,968, t 10 acres. Of the present acreage 49,680,666 are in field crops. The number of occupied farms is 711,090, so that the average size of a. farm is nearly 200 acres. The agricultural population is 4,425,037, and the urban 4,350,000. In 1901 the urban population. instead of being nearly one-half of the whole, was a little more than 2,000,000 out of 5,323,967. The home market afforded by the urban centres has grown much faster than the farm population. The value of farm property in 1921 was 6,586,648,126 dollars, of which 3,702,370,009 was in land, 1.382,684,300 dollars in buildings, 665,184,146 dollars in implements, and 836,413,401 dollars in live stock. Field crops in 1920 were valued at 932,807,407 dollars, as compared with 384,513,- * 95 dollars in 1910, and animal products dollars as compared with 128,967,911 dollars.
