PRODUCING NURSERY. ‘stock

From the Brean ot Statistics
The production of nursery stosk ds
4 highly speciallzed- bianch of agricul
ture and it requires more labor than
the’ cultivation -of any other product.
It employs 15 to 20 thnes mere men on

farming and five times:ns many as
even intensive fruit farming. In Can-

‘ada: Inbor is said to represent 7h% of

the vost of producing nursery stock.

The Duteh have reached nv state of
specialization in the production of nur-
sery stock unparalled in any ather
country. Quite naturally, this inten-
sive specialization leads to a very high
state of efficiency. Aceording to a re-
port in Parliament by the ‘Canadian
Tarift Board, six hundred growers,
eultly ating an fren of 7,000 acres, have
combined and organized to grow nur-
sery stock to meet a world demand.

‘Canadian nurserymen have made an
Impressive progress in. recent years,
Five ov six yenrs ago about one mil-
Hon rose bushes were Imported, for ex-
ample, while in 1935 there were but
443,000, chiefly from the Netherlands
and Grent Britain. The sales of rose
bushes by Canadian nurserymen have

‘Tetimbed from a. very. small quantity to

just nbont the same number, which is

Fj an ‘Indication of marked progress.

There is now in Canada an area of
22 million square feet under glass and
close to 4,000 acres not under glass, so
that tho industry has become very im-
portant. {The -gross revenues are up-
ward of $13,000,000.

SPRING HAT A FARM PRODUCT

Whether
ket, ensign saflor, martinique turban,
or any other exciting design, fashioned
ont of velvets, straws, voiles, crepes,

‘| nainsook, felt, canvas, worsted, linen,

or Ince, my tady’s spring hat gives no
evidence of its humble origin. Cer-
tainly few persons associate the natty
gpring crention with the farm, never-
theless mylady’s hat is the “butterfly”
of agriculture. Jt emerged from the
chrysalis of the farm, or, in other
words, the original material was pro-
dueed on the farm, And once more,
the farm is insisting on lesa equivocal

ecaming into fashion ngnin.
‘The amuny. wondrous: materials with
still more wondrous names, are the

_| manufactured products of agricultural
‘Jovigin, flax, wool, ‘cotton, wood pulp,

and represent ‘considerable wealth the
world over. The latest available sta-
tistics show that in ‘Canadn alone the
retail sales of women’s and children’s
apparel, including hats, nmounted to
$17,000,000 in one year.

Flax is one of the oldest and one of
the principal argicultural products
from which wearing and decorative ap-
parel is manufactured. Its native coun
try is unknown, bit” linen fabrics,
threntl and Hngeed ofl which are the
best known products of flax, have been
found in the eyeavations of the Stone
Age, so that those old forefathers of
ours knew a erent deal more than is
sometimes attributed ta them. For
one thing the best method for harvest-
ing flax: has not advanced: one iota

since the Stone Age. {The best. fibre

is obtained by hand-pulling and the
best threshing results arise from the
useof the old flail, after the seed
heads have been crushed - “out with ao
roller.

No snbstitute has been found to re-
Place fnx satisfactorily in the manu-
facture of fine linen and damask, The
use of flax extends from.onkum for
cauiking boats to mylady's laces land-
kerchief and hat, but what mere nian,
unless he were f statistician, woul
ejaculate “ngviculturnl product” when
suddenly confronted with a spring hat
creation.
