Success Attained In Growing Appl

According to the Hon. Jas.
Bryant, K.C., who is in charge

growing campaign, a great deal 6 -
terest is being taken by farmers
particularly by their wives, in
prospects of growing fruit on their
own farms, and many inquiries ares
being made by those who are follow:
ing the Government lead in the mat-
ter and are desirous of establ:shing
an orchard of their own without —
further delay.

A great deal of success has been
achieved in the growing of crab-
apples, plums and the smaller fruits
in many parts of Western Canada,
and good resuits have already been
obtained in growing standard apples
in certain locations in Saskatchewan.

In 1887, Experimental Farms were
established by the Federal Govern-
ment at Brandon, Manitoba, and
Indian Head, Saskatchewan. Du
the next eight or ten years more than
two hundred of the hardiest sorts of
cultivated apples, obtainable in north.
ern Europe and northern Asia, were
planted out and tested under varyi ;
conditions but in no cases were an;
fruits produced. r

Present Rate Of Loss Is About
50,000. Every Year

Berlin’s population is decreasing at
the rate of 50,000 persons a year.

More people leave the capital every
month than enter it, while the death
rate is rising and the birth rate is
falling.

The population of Berlin which
extends over an area of 340 square
miles, is 4,250,000, which is 50,000
less than it was in 1931.

No improvement is anticipated ow-
ing to the steady migration of the in-
habitants. Last July 20,000 Berliners
abandoned the capital, while only
13,000 made their homes within its
boundaries.

If the present rate of loss is main-
tained there will be nobody living in
Berlin in 83 years’ time!

Greater London, with an area more
than twice that of Berlin, had a popu-
lation when the 1931 census was tak-
en of 8,263,992, which is less than
twice Berlin's figures.

In the ten years between the 1921
and 1931 censuses Greater London's
population increased by 723,741, an
average increase of 72,370 a year.
