dairy industry is steadily expanding death toll on ontario highways butter main product output of cheese growing but i canada is potentially a large pro ducer of cheese it has produced a huge output in the past and may do so again for a good many years however the trend in cana dian dairying has been to increase ihe output of butter and to allow the production of cheese to decline in recent years at all events this tendency has been accompanied by an increase in the total production of milk the greater part of the canadian cheese production has long been exported but both pro duction and exports are much lower today than they were a score of years ago the consumption of cheese is low in canada but there is a large consumption of butter there is also a large consumption of fresh milk and cream dairying owes its modern posi tion in canada to the introduction of the factory system for the mak ing of cheese and butter and the facilities offered by improved meth ods of cold storage the first cana dian cheese factory was established in ontario in 18g4 and the first canadian creamery for butter mak ing in quebec in 1873 the first centrifugal cream separator was imported from denmark in 18s2 and the government organization of cold storage services dates from 1895 in 188g the quantity of cheese export ed from canada wa 0141570 pounds and of butter 10049733 pounds butter ieached its maximum exportation in 1903 at 34128944 pounds and cheese attained its maximum a year later at 233980710 pounds since that time there has ocen a large increase in the quantity of fresh

filling them up with virgin rock had been resorted to after death and was no doubt thought to be ti very clever ruse to clear an exceedingly stoncy farm and lift the mortgage off the property with

one makes vain effort to save other promises critics of prime minister bennetts startling economic reform policy are harping much just now upon his 1030 promise to end unemployment in can ada and claiming that ho did not keep that promise for which reason they doubt whether his present pro mises mean anything it may be that thoughtless people in 3i30 assumed that mr bennett proposed to perform an overnight miracle when he made that promise it is certain that he had no sucii idea and certainly no one with a clear understanding of the economic situ ation as it then was could have en tertained so foolish a notion as a matter of fact the prime min ister has from the moment he assum ed office iip to the present time lab ored steadily persistently and in considerable measure successfully to cope with tho unemployment situa tion true his approach to the pro blem was not as spectacular as was that of the united states president i but there is good reason to believe t4iat ultimately his methods will be productive of more permanent re sults than those of the new deal making the federal authority in generous measure responsible for maintenance of the unemployed he obtained sanction for cash contribu tions to that end immediately upon assuming office those contributions have continued to this date wide spread distribution of this govern ment money lias certainly prevented the unemployment situation from assuming catastrophic proportions another of his moves that also saved catastrophe was government assumption of the wheat export sit uation at a moment when nothing short of a move so radical and un usual could have prevented complete collapse of the economic structure of western canada that move was of as great benefit to urban canada as it was to the people ot the farms but the truly scientific move made by the prime minister to end unemployment was in his successful negotiation of the much discussed ottawa agreements it was evidently clear to mr bennett that only in a revival of trade in export fields could there be any hopo of permanent re lief from unemployment to depend upon tho passing out of government cash to remedy permanently such a situation would have been as foolish as to hope to be able to lift oneself by ones bootstraps the ottawa agreements are mak ing good in the past nine months canadas empire export trade has in- creased over 27
