Assessment Commissioner Farley reports Toronto's 1929 population at 606,370, up 20,742 from 1928, while 1928 figures stood at 685,628. The Canada crop totals are 293,792,000 bushels with the prairie provinces at 269,471,000 bushels and last year’s prairie output at 544,598,000 bushels. A Soviet coal shipment arrived in Halifax from the Cossack River Don Mining area aboard the British freighter Bialratholl, marking the first coal import from Soviet Russia to Canada. The Abitibi River coal discovery near Cochrane is announced. Prime Minister Mackenzie King is planned to tour the West and British Columbia in October. Dr J H King addressed the British Columbia Liberal Association in Vancouver. A Canadian import ban affected Scottish cattle shipments, blocking recent purchases of pedigreed Ayrshire cattle for the Alberta ranch.
