The principal der t velapniont at the prosent time is in - the Lewer Fraser Valley,: Vancouver Island,' and . the Okanagan Valley, on. Dairying Surpasses Fruit Production. Iii the fame British Columbia has won aa it friut-llraducing region it acmes as a aurprise to learn that at the present time dairying is; its princi- pal and most, profitable phase of agri- cultural' endea•Ver. It'lias reached, this'. stag@ , after a rapid growth. In the year 1010 the value of the province's dairy prcdu:cts was $398,838, l'ive years later thisvalue had become only $453a 724. It increased remarkably in Y the next swveil years, being placed at $s,aox,l' r in 1922. The way the �a in- dustry' is dev.e:opiu4; may be aiipreei- ated from the fact that more than a i million dollars' wos added to this value in the next year, itstanding.at 39,294,- 570. The quantity of butter produced in British Columbia last year was 4,- 221,704 pounds, representing an iu- e'rease ell per cent, over the previous, year. There are now thirty manufac- turing'creameries, two cheese f ac - torics,-three.c naen e ies and several, ice-cream plants in the province. .4, greater'future fn .dairying, is fore- shadowed for British Columbia in the recent adoption of 'Vancouver as the point of export and; the :uti1izati <ieConot of the •splendid growth of grasses., roots,and fodder crops in these sections. Partners • and fruit growers 1. the Okanagan Valle " articular are Y inp branching out in the line at 'dairying, the Provincial Government having ex- tended certain assistance to dairymen there in the commencement' of opera- tions The present year has recorded a substantial increase in the nuniber of cream shippers, in the: area; ?and there is a considerable increment in the export of butter from creameries. Organization has likewise taken place in the Windermere and Columbia Val- leys, which. offer especially fine open- ings for engaging in dairying under very advantageous, conditions, I the Panama Canal route for Western [Canadian dairy products to the British !Isles and European continent. The rutaof Alberta butter bgural shipments ;this, manner proved its absolute feasibility,and this is now becoming a regular movement.' British Columbia dairymen are a good deal nearer to the point of export and have this ad- vantage over prairie competitors. There is a possibility of the province develloping: a substantial -:trade with the countries of, the Orient and Eur- ope.
