~ ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL.. STAT-

IGS 1929

The Dominion Burenu of statics has made the customary arrangements for

_the collection nd: publication -of the

aunual agricultural statics of Canada

| for the year 1929, . These statics will

be based upon the yeturns to be colle- cted next June from individual farm-

ers upon cardboard scheduals issued to

them through the tenchers and child-

“ren of the schools, as well. as from far-

mers ‘direct, which: will ‘be circulated on an increased ‘scale this year, The schedual is 2 very simple one, calling only for the acres. sown ‘to. fleld crops and the number of farm aniinals alive in mid-June. Upon the. resulting es- timates of yield which are of supreme |

° importance in conection with the mov-

ment, financing, distribution and sale |

_of the principal’ ‘cereals, especially of

wheat, of which Canada fs now the work's leading. exporter. ,

\ The -present plans for ‘the ‘collection of these statics have been n followed . an- nuolly , since . 1917, ond ‘the estimites based theron have. “coiie to “he ‘eonfid- ently relied upon By" all ‘yiterested in the production, and dixtributtont of Gail

Most of the diseases from | which mankind suffers are not of the stidden acute type. The majority of them are gradually developed over a consider- able period of time. In most cases their pregence is not suspected until there is some symptom ‘which sends the sufferer to his doctor for examina- tion. That.symptom was a danger sig-

The periodic health . examination, which means that regularly, once a year, the individual goes to his dector for a complete examingtion, provides the most practical means of which we know to detect these early danger sig- nals, The examinations bring medical skill fo act when it has the most effect.
