The writer knows one citizen of the United States who. on every visit "he makes to Canada. carries home, under strict instrur:-" tionsfrom his wife, a number of loaves of bread, she claiming that no bread obtain- able in the United States can approach that made from Canadian our. As an instance of the increasing popularity of Canadian our. it is interesting to note that Dr. A. -H. Stafford, -born in` Winnipeg but for some time past domiciled in Jamaica. re- . cently said that until the steamships Can- adian Forester" and Canadian Fisher of the Canadian Government Merchant Mar- ine Service came into Kingston last spring, every pound of flour used on the, Island came from the United State's. Now _it -all comes from Canada. This very valuable` market for Canadian products has been captured by three ways. Dr. Stafford af- finms:.First_. the fact that `Canada had ships to deliver it `there;'second, the quality of the flour itself; and third, the fact that the people of Jamaica desire closer com- mercial and social relations with the people of Canada. Canada Second in Wheat Production Canada is_ now the second wheat produc- ing country in the world, according to 1921 statistics. We produce about half as much wheat as the United States, but they, it must be remembered, have ten. inhabitants to our `one.

The C.N.R. hasycarried this season--Se;)t. 1 to Nov. 13-41320 cars, or approximate- ly nine and three-quarter million bushels. For the similar period in 1920, the number of cars handled was 21,858".
