"Canada has made substantial Pro- gress in dairying, much more than people' realize," said Dr, J. A. Ruddick, Ottawa, Federal Dairy Commissioner, in a recent public address, . "Dairy production of the Dominion has risen to $300;000,000 annually. "Exports of dairy products have in- creased to $67,000,000 annually,most of it being shipped from the eastern provinces. The eastern section of Canada produces about 98 per cent, of the cheese in the Dominion and about 71 per cent. of the butter. However, the prairie provinces are making rapid strides in, this direction. Canadian Cheese stood at the top of the .world's ptarket, Butter from Canada was not quite at the top," he said, "but remark - The Folly of Secret Love A6airs.
