' It is predicted that in 'the next fifteen -years good quality apples'' will have to be import- ed in increasing puantities owing to the depreciation of the orchards. Interesting Figures : - ' ” Interesting. statistics issued ;at Ot- tawa recently show that. Canadians drink a pint of milk a day on an aver- age, making an hicidaseof approx- imately one •hundred per Bent; since 1921. Canadians are also said to eat more butter per capita than any other people in thel world as indicated by a figure of 29.31 pounds per man, wom- an and child annually. The per capita consumption of milk is 470.8 pounds a year, whhich is compared with 458 pounds per capita for the United States. Ice cream, likewise, ;has shown an increase, the 1928 figure being 7.04 pints per capital as cam- pared with 6.26 pints for 1921. The consumption of cheese in the past seven years has also risen from 2:51 pounds to 3.54 pounds per capita per yew.

This was however, also settled through -the. feet' that olir tertained as 'a general Iliadtic°. Eight years ago Canada's• export of Bacon amounted to more than 100,000,000 pounds.' In 1929 it had dwindled to' less than 38,000,000 pounds. The rea- son given is that grading has in -real- ity improved the quality of Canadian bacon and that more and snore of it is consumed at home. The reputation of Canadian bacon stands supreme on the American continent and is equal to any bacon offered in Great Britain. The most pressing need at the pres- ent resent time in relation to the Canadian bacon industry is larger production and continuous supply. Farm Machinery It has been proved that the use of modern machinery can reduce the costs of production on all crops. How- ever, the buying of machinery should be done only after caraful'eonsider- ation, and machinery will not turn a deficit. into a profit. In fact, the more • macltinerrthere is on a farm, the greater ie. the necessity for fol- lowing the best farm practices be- cause investment costs are higher, risks are greater and losses inay be heavier. ' Sow Correct Seed Farniers should remember the valuo'of sowing weed -free needs rind seeds of tested varieties of gtain. By' se doing one may increase the yield from 30 per cent. to 63 per cent. above the lewest yielding varieties. In oats it has been shown that large plump seed" will average 62 bushels to the'acre while the small seed yields only 46.6 bushels; in barley the ratio is 53.8. and 43,2 bushels. Farmers are 'advised to get a copy of the analysis of the same before buying seed.

Over seven million aches of land, which is about halfof the total area in cultivation, are -used to pro duce the hay and pasture•crops of the province. This hay and clover crop is -valued annually at more than $50,- '000,000 for the past 45 years, and ,over '$ 80,000,000 annually for the past five years, 1924-1928.

Then, soon after, the French had to leave Bremen, (and) the cellar kept its treasurers. In consequence of the universal impov- erishment and, economical necessity," which followed in the wake of the War of Independence, . over all Ger- many the wine consumtion • de- creased a great deal. Also the pee pies' tastes suddenly changed. The youth wanted to know nothing more about the old strong ancient wines. They favoured new wines, especially the costly 1811 type, and that known as comet wine of 1819.. ,. The/ con- sumption of old wines decreased at that time to 150 ohm, 23000 liter a year. In 1841 they had still a sup- ply of 1221 ohm, about 135000 liter; 1863 about 55,000 liter, now there is still on hand about 12000 liter, nam- 1 ely: 1' butt, 1652 Rudesheimer; 2 butt 1666 Rudesheimer; 1 butt 1726 Hoeheimer; 3 butt 1784 Rudesheimer; 1 butt 1728 Moselwein;, 1 butt 1731 Moselwein; 1 butt 1783 Johannesber- ger. The wines are even today, in the 'old Rosecellar and the loeked•Apostel cellar, (the so named small Rosecei- tar) and certainly they are'in:large casks containing about •1200 liter, made of extra hard oak wood. Only two kinds of wine are bottled and re- leased for public ale houses, namely the 1726 Hooheinter and the 1748 Rudesheimer. • These wines are re- tailed in bottles at the price .of 3 R. M. in the cellar. A. sale in bottles takes place only if the wino, is to be used as a stimulant for invalids. The wine has a very beautiful gol- den brown colour, and is marked es- pecially by a strong, wonderful scent Of course, the- butts, too must be re- filled from time to time, although the withering away is minimum. This happens with the 1748 Rndesh- umer, then the whole cellar smells intoxicatingly. In taste, the wines and naturally rather bitter, they have 'an aromatic ambertone of their own. We must add, in addition, that the cellar has always carried only Ger- man wines. It has stored today about I million liter. 'A liter, our quart. Butt, a large cash, 8 hogs- heads. CANADA CONTINUES BEST CUSTOMER OF THE UNITED STATES Ottawa'March-24 (Special to The News-Rerbrd.) Canadian Imports from the United States in 1929 made again of eight percent over the 1298 valuation. Imports from the United States in 1929 were yalued at $893, 607.000 and this increase, which NW,. responds to a six pea cent. gain in imports from all countries combined, was in spite of a sharp decline in the December figures, which were 14 per cent. lower than the valuation record- ed for the last- month of 1923. ;Imports from the United Kingdom during 1929 were two per cent. larger than in 1928, and from all continents of the British Empire, slightly more than one per cent. higher, in the same compahison. A larger gain for the year is recorded for Germany, im- ports from there being 11 per cent. higher than in the previous calendar year.' Imports from France declined 6 per cent. but the share of Japan in- creased by 4 per cent. Exports from Canada to the United States during 1929 were 3522,585,000, also materially larger than in 1928, the gain of six per cent. being ac- counted for largely in the metals group, although newsprint, among other commodities, registered a high- er valuation also. The Dominion's exports to all countries, however, de- clined by 12 per cent. an cnsequence of lower wheat shipments which were responsible for a 35' per cent. drop in exports to the United Kingdom. De- cennber exports to the United States also declined, the valuation of 337, 360, 000 being 10 per cent. under the Decenibter 1928 figure.
