CANADA ONE OF THE
WORLD PROVIDERS

Although Canada's real start in ux=
tional development as pointed Out 6g

Herein is the spirit that dominates

extends an invitation to Americans tns
assist in developing the resources fhz8
Canada possesses, whether they hsa
mineral, forest industrial, commercial
or agriculture. Both countries wiz
benefit and the United States viii Us

and varied as are those of Canada
In comparing the United Stafax
along with other nations of the worEH
in producing and importing toad
stuffs, the Agricultural Outlook pub
lished by the United States depart
men of agriculture says:
The United States in recent pears
has been as large an importer of foozz=
stuffs as exporter; therefore she czn
not be classed as a surplus producer
of foodstuffs. This is contrary to uxzF-
ular impression. It is true that s7EH
is an exporter of certain articles, h1f
she is an equally large importer &c
other articles. In this classificztzazE
tea and coffee are included with fn<uds
stuffs. In edible grains the prodE<
tion is % per cent more than fl1Hl
amount retained; the production ac
meat is six per cent more sssaz
is, exports of meat equal six per cent
of that retained in the United States
for consumption, the production a.
dairy products is 20 per cent msrel
than consumed; the production a.
poultry is just about equal DO cuH=
sumption; of vegetables, one per cent
less
An investigation into the produes
ton, imports and exports of food prazE
ucts of various countries indicates
that England produces about So FsE
cent of her food requirements, azH
imports (netl about AZ per cent, Be-.
gium produces 81 per cent. and Ina
ports 43 per cent; Germany produces
88 per cent, and Imports IL per cent?.
France produces 80 per cent, and inA
ports eight per cent; Austria Hungary
produces 9S per cent, and imports tNs.
per cent; Russia produces lie uzx
cent of her requirements, and experts
an equivalent of about 10 per cent?
Canada produces % per cent n1ara
than she consumes; Argentina Rrc
duces 48 per cent more than she conz
sumes; the United States prodaeez

( direct attention to the fact that Cazz
