Canada's Flour Industry

FROM the N1ueDec a1pIpIllClt.
According to evidence given before
a committee of the United States SEN
ate, the American flour milling industry
has been declining while the Canadian
industry has enjoyed a rapid develop
ment In 1900 United States mills ex-
ported is, 700, 900 barrels and in 1910
the figures had fallen to 9,041 900, or
by more than so per cent Compare
these returns with the Canadian fig
ures. In 1900 we sent abroad 771,0GO
barrels of flour and in 1910 no fewer
than S,064,O00 barrels.
In a decade United States exports
have been cut in half and ours have
multiplied four times. In 1900 Ameri
can flour exports were 25 times as
great as ours. In 1910 they We're only
three times as great. In the 10-year
period the Canadian industry has de-
veloped amazingly and its product has
secured a growing hold on the British
and European market In short, Cau-
adian and United States -four are
strong rivals in the old world and our
brands are getting the upper hand.
Hence the panicky eagerness of the
Minneapolis and Duluth millers to con-
troll the Canadian wheat crop And
hence the fight for reciprocity which
they put up on both sides of the in
ternational border. Hence thier intense
over. it's defeat. If they
could once get control of our wheat
yield, the American export milling
trade would be saved. With our abun-
dant raw material at their command,
they would meet the products of our
own mills in Great Britain.
Surely we should not pay the United
States to take its duty off our wheat.
Surely 1t will be wiser to do all we can
to take advantage of our favored nat
ural position, and to build up in our
own territory the worlds greatest mill
ing industry. Under the national policy
we are travelling rapidly in that di-
rection Americans are beginning to
transfer their mills to Canada. one is
to be erected at Moosejaw and an
other at Kenora. II may even be
wise for the government TO bonus
flour mills as means of keeping the
by-products of Canadian wheat as far
as possible on Canadian soil. The re-
tention of these byproducts means
that the western Canadian live stock
industry will be stimulated and that
western canadian farm lands will be
continually refertilized.
