Respecting the production of flaxseed in 1911, the Census and Sta- 

 tistics Office .states: 



Our crop-reportiufi (.'orrespoiuleuts were asked at the end of March to state 

 what percentage of the area sown to flax in 1911 was not harvested. The re- 

 plies indicate that iu Manitoba about 20, in Saslcatchewan about 40, and in 

 Alberta about 57 per cent of the areas sown to flax was not harvested. De- 

 ducting these proportions from tlie areas sown, as returned by the census of 

 June 1. the revised estimate amounts to 7.730.000 bushels as the yield of flax- 

 seed in the Northwest Provinces, which is 5,054.000 bushels less than the esti- 

 mate reported at the end of December. The revised yield and value of flaxsed 

 in 1911 will therefore be bv Provinces as follows: 



It will be understood that these figures are only approximate, as it is impos- 

 sible to state exactly the acreage sown to flax that was not harvested owing 

 to failure of the crop.
