Growth of Milling Industry
in Canada.
From its humble beginning at Port
Royal (now Annapolis Itoyal, Nova
Scotia, in, 1605, flour and grist milling
in Canada has grown to be ciao of the
Dominion's most important industries.
According to en early census there
were nine mills in operation In New
Terence in 1666, while the latest figures
(these tor 1922) cohipilecl by the Do.
minion Bureau ,of Statistics; ' show
1,364 operating milts in Canada with
a daily capacity of. 134,126 barrels. The
amount of wheat Milled end iiour,pro-
duced by these mills showed a con-
siderable increase during 1922. This
Year saw 81,413,649 bushels of grain
converted into flour, as compared ' with
70,005,373 bushels in 1921 and 61,116,-
880 bushels in 1920, The production
of dour during the 1922 calendar year
reached 17,787,929 barrels, an increase
of 2,466,170 barrels 'over the previous
sear and 4,600,609 barrels greater
than 1920.
Easy noels to the Atlantic seaboard
has heretofore been a determining fac-
tor hi deciding the location of flour
and grist mills in Canada. Of the
.
1,304 mills In operation in 1922; 1,211
were situated in Ontario, Quebec, and
the Maritime Provinces. In the early
days of the industry Montreal became
the centre of flour and grist milling
and it has held its predominant posi-
tion, the daily output of the mills In
its vicinity totalling nearly 20,000 bar-
rels in 1922, However, with the de.
velopment of the Pacific trade ' the
growth of western points as • milling
centres is being accelerated, and there
is. every indication that the industry,
will continue to expand• in proportion
to the Dominion's position as one of

was very difficult to get et painter to
come out and paint our house and
barns. The work had to be done,, and
we; decided to do it ourselves. We got
a, good brand of prepared paint, sonm
brushes, p ,wand putty -knife, and ti
good exte
try
brushes,
and went at it.
We out MA the. nin t
found d m, t needed •i little

of linseed -oil and turpentine for that
purpose.'' -
By starting right after harvesting,
and wier'king at it when other things
did not crowd, we" got it alt done ie

ings look real good, •with their two
coats of red and white, end we seve•i
more than $100 by acting as oar "own
painters. Painting i not hard. work.
