Yet during the fiscal year ended March, 1924, woollen and knit- ting mills imported into Canada some ‘19,375,925 pounds of raw wool. In Canada, in’ 1922, according :to the Cegsua: of Industry figures. we had 277 woollen ard knitting mills, which employed: some 22,000 workers. Yet in 1922, countries abroad sent into Canada $38,000,000 worth of woollen and -knitted- goods, and in 1923, $41,000,000 worth, representing employment for some 17,000 to 20,000 workers. Although during the: past year. the wool and knitting industries have expanded to some extent and, particularly in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, have new mills opened up, it is seen that only about. half of the woollen goods sold in this country could have been preduced here. Raw wool, grown in Canada, comprises but a smal] frac- tion of that which ig used by the mills that are operat- ing in the Dominion. There is not enough wool grown to supply the demand of the world. Japan and China, the staple clothing and bedding materials for which countries were formerly silk and cotton, are rapidly becgming great wool consuming countries, imports to Japan alone having jumped 700 per cent in ten years. Thus it is seen that: the Canadian wool grower shas not only a growing domestic market, but an ever increasing foreign market for his clips, yet sheep are rarely given due consideration by Canadian farmers even. though they have been dubbed “mort- gage lifters” in the West. Col. Robt, McEwen of London, Ont., president of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers’ Associa- tion, who won the championship = car-load lot of Canadian weather tambs, “Sout®downs,” at the Chieago International Show, has said, “taking Can- ada as a whole it has been proved that climatic con- ditions are favorable to sheep raising. No devastat- dition of consuming more wool than we produce, and for a comparatively new and fertile country Canada to have reached the stage of deficient sup- piy for such an-essential as clothing should sureiy demand the serious consideration of us all.” ° But although wool. growing as an industry in Canada does not come up to what might be expected of it, those who are engaged in it are highly and ef- fectively organized as regards marketing. In 1914 those in charge of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, Ottawa, begar to urge that sheepmen be more care- ful in putting up their fleeces and that they stop selling at any old prige which might. be offered locally. Following their, efforts various-sheep breed- ers and wool growers’ associations throughout Canada began to collect wool from their members, this wool like = * 4 being- graded in turn by expert graders. supplied by ~ the Dominion Government and being: sold on the graded basis. As more and more loca! associations were formed, it was felt that all should be affiliated under one central selling agency with the result that in 1918 the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited was formed with -headquarters in Toronto. This is a commodity marketing organization hand- ling woo! only, having: about 2,500 shareholders and approximately 12,000 shippers of woo! throughout the Dominion. Individual clips are collected at various points for shipment in car-load lots to the central warehouse at Weston, Ont., for grading and sale. At the present time this organization, which operates from coast to coast, is handling from a quar- ter to one third of the Canadian clip reaching the open market. Its influence*is being extended more and more each season as will be noted from the fact that in Ontario alone the number of shippers’ has in- creased from 8,200 in 1922, to 4,000 in 1924. The various grades ef wool are sold to equal advantage in Canadian, American and English markete, and it is perhaps noteworthy that during the past two years sporeney ay three-quarters of a million pounds of Canadian graded wools bave found a market with English mills. , ince for 1924 were presented to the Legislature during the past week by Hon. R. G. Reid,» prov. treasurer. The accounts are the first to be pre- sented since the new system of ac- cobnting went into effect, and are based on the new system. The ac- counts are also accompanied: by a consolidated balance sheet showing the exact findncial standing .of the province to the end of 1923.- This balance sheet analyses the finances of the province from the beginning of 1905. The actuaf deficit of the province on-ineome account ,; for $620,841.42 or $38,166.67 less ‘than the estimated deficit at the begin+ ning of the year. The actual’ ex- penditures in 1924 were less than the-estimated expenditures by $583,- 785 52, after allowing for expendi: tures on warrants. . The actual reve- nue during the year fell short of the estimated The expenditures by departments, were.as follows: oes y PPPPyyryrie 2 PRRPERSR ORE ; sores et 25 Fe oo le Per rPerese sey Co as oss 205 4 S27 SES 3092467 s Se Coe Ses eS Ss ‘eee Smyeeaes: j Rs eee Ss eS 2p op "ee Bt: a Sak Hee PS wy: x ao 58 2 anabeka esa ° eae eer Rog =H a8 =< ws rt. ee ee 3° ae eI 54-0); ee ee we Zz aR a te .

There will be at this special course demonstrations of live bacon hogs both in breeding and commercial classes. These will be judged. on foot and: placed, the first day, and immediately afterwards will be slaughtered and brought in on the secgnd day for demonstrations in dressed carcasses. For this purpose the federal live stock branch will supply an export packing house man. There will be discussions on the rear- ing, fooding and finishing of the bacon hog, and a discussion also on the general bacon hog situation in the province : It is believed that this_ special course will draw many bacon hog breeders and those desiring to enter this branch of hog raising. 1924. was} revenue by $545,718.49. | WILL In the ELKS’ MARC LOCAL \L BAND _ 7 Piece Orchestra -- Latest Music: The Crowd will Be There Supper will be Served in the Hall GIVE A ST.
