A bulletin just issued by the Provincial Department of. Agri-
culture, giving market statistics for the last year, is of importance
as showing the extent of the home market tor agricultural products.
We learn that the total importations of dairy and poultry products
into British Columbia for the year 1911 were as follows:— :
: Butter - - . - -. - 1... - $954,908
"Milk (including condensed) and cream - 373,667
Eegs- - - +--+ eee. se. 973,183
Poultry ---. --- -. 2.02. 1,142,735

_ 654,706

Cheese - - - 5-22-0222.

Total - - - = - ~~ ~ ~ $4,099,149

lixcluding cheese, of which practically none is made in British
Columbia, there is a lotal of $3,500,000 sent out of the province an-
nually for articles which should be produced at home. _
The year’s importationg of fresh meats, including bacon and
and ham, mutton ‘and lamb, pork and lard, total $1,260,091, whilst
beef cattle; sheep and swine were imported to the value of $1,260,-
510. | , BF
In the past year there has beenanoticeable increase in the con-
suming-capacity of Prairie markets, due mainly to increased popu-
lation, and algo to the fact, that dlate and wet season there furnished

an unusually favorable market for early vegetables.

There has also been an ineréased demand for British Columbia
apples from Australian houses, and for all fruits-and vegetables
from Coast markets. The home markets, however, fall far short
of-being supplied, © ; Bo

The greatest increase in consumption of food products. during
the past year has been in bacon and ham, mutton and lamb, pork,
eggs, and poultry. The value‘of daiiy produce (exclusive bf amilk):
importations amounted to $1,609,614, and the valuevof. dressed. poul-
try and egg impottations amounted to $2;116,868, te

The home production’ of dairy produce {exclusive “of milk)
amounted in value to $985, 462, or 61 percent, of the market demand,
The demand also for dressed poultry and eggs, was $1,234,472 in ox-

ceas of the home supply. A satisfactory feature of the ‘year -has | !
been an increase in the supply of home-produced milk, valued at

$3, 295,000, and eggs, valued at $255,-112, Eggs, however, show a
still greater, increase in importations from the United States and
Canadian Provinces, the increase from the former being 312.8 per
cent., and from the latter 280.7 per cent. on'the values for 1910,

. Therapid growth of city population has resulted in an increased

demand for milk, which has affected the quantity of butter manu.

factured. 4 ”

The inereased demand for mutton and pork has not been. met
with a corresponding development in the faising of sheep.and swine,
the numbers of the former showing a lessened production’ during

_ the year. oe no ee we _

- Asinthe past year, the heaviest ‘importations in live-atock

have beén in horses, beef cattle and sheep, the United: States im-

ports of horses showing the. very large increase of 800 per cent, .
