11 DEPAR-rMENT OF (FURNISHED BY THE AGRICULTURE)
Frozen Vegetables
The pack of frozen vegetables
in 'Canada in 1938 increased to
590,000 pounns from 126,000 pounds
in 1937, the principal increase being
in peas and corn in cab. New fac-
tories 'were opened it British Col•
Drab% and in Ontario, and efforts
will be made during 1939 to estab-
lish freezing units in retail stores
At the preesnt time, the bulk of this
products is sold to .the .hotel ..and
restaurant trade.
Butter Consumption
Consumption of butter in Empire
countries is higher per head of pop-
ulation than in foreign countries,
status the Imperial Economic Com-
mittee. It amounted in 1937 to
40.7 pounds in New Zealand; 34,2
pounds in Australia; 32.7 pounds in
Canada, and 24,8 pounds in the
United Kingdom compared with 19.0
pounds in Germany; 17.9 ponuds in
Denmark and Belgium, and 10.7
pounds in the United States.
Cheese in Export Trade
Exports of cheese from the chief
exporting countries of the world,
reckoned by value, account fur
only a very small proportion or
total exports from these countries:
in New Zealand, where the pro-
portion Is highest, It amounted :o
little more than 8 per cent. in 1937.
The proportion has declined in re
cent years in New Zealand, Switzer-
land, the Netherlands and Italy,
but has remained fairly constant In
Canade, where however it amounts
t0 only one per cent. of the total
Canadian exports.
Feed For Poultry
The nutrients fa eggs are pres-
ent in entirely different proportions
from those iu grain; and unless the
hens ae'e given additional 'feeds to
level up the differences, production
is disappointing,
Feeding poultry entirely on
grain, and only one grain at that, is
the least profitable practice follow-
ed on .most farms, To keep the.
ken in good coneition and Supply
egg ingredients In the cornet pro-
portions, so that each egg repre-
sents the least poesigle feed ,Intake,
It is necessary to supply a mixture
of ground grains, proteins and cod
liver oil, besides a scratch mixture
of twc or more grains. Oyster
shell is also required for shell form-
ation, and a supply of good drinking
stater is essential,
Beef Cattle Trent
Numbers of cattle on farms in
tem Pa a+:.lune 1, 1939, are expected
to show a fin -tiler reduction from.
those of 1930, The present cattle
production cycle rem:lied its peak
in 1936. Net cattle marketings hr
1938 were materialy below those of
1937 and 1936. Further declines
may be expected during 1939 and
1940. The nuubers of cattle on
farms In Canada at June 1, 1938
(8,511,200) were estimated as fewer

Tobacco Production
Tobaccoaverage in Canada •n -
creased by 20.7 per cent, In 1933
and the crap of 96 million pounds
was the .largest ever harvested.
The main expansion was in the flue,
cured producing area of Ontario,
where the increase was undertaken
with a view of replenishment of de-
pletel .stocks of old leaf to provie°
for an anticlpatel greater demand
in the United Kingdom market.
The higher production of 1938
will result in a material increase
in the stocks of Hue -cured tobacco
in Canada, unless there is a sub-
stantial expansion o.2 exports to
the United Kingdom. There waw
a sharp increase in exports to the
United Kingdon during 1938 over
1937 but this was attributed to the
relatively short stocks of 'Canadian.
tobacco in the United Kingdom at
that time and to the fact that there
was in Canada a large supply of
high quality leaf from the 1937 crop
available for export. Stocks in the
United Kingdom are now large and
a recurrence of the heavy exports
of 1938 is considered unlikely for
1929.
The flue -cured crop is largely
marketed through g:ower-buyer a"-
rangetuents. The negotiated IUILI-
mum average price for the 1033 crop
wa sset at 22.g cents per pound or 2
c851. .below the 1937 Minium aver-
age, The 1937 crop was aotualle
sold at 27.3cents per pound ar :'.S
cents above the negotiated mtu;-
mum price. Since 1936 there has
been a general tendeuey for prices
to decline as a consequence of the
rapid increase in production.
