patent the dawn of revival that we have often seen has not matured and this year almost until the present moment has been a disappointment to the country but we have to remember that when ever any serious cause whatever it may be affects industry there is very often a considerable lag between tho cause and the effect aud it was soma canada and other british countries would be taxed 5150 a pound upon entering the old country market while tobacco from the rest of the world would pay 2 a pound for many years canadian farmers had grown tobacco in limited quanti ties but this combination of circum stances failure in certain areas of the corn crop due to the corn borer and a preference of fifty cents a pound for tobacco on the english market served to turn their attention to the possibilities of the tobacco industry the results are indicated by the in crease in tobacco exports to great britain in 1924 canadian growers sold to british buyers 1747900 pounds in 192g canada exported 4s921sg pounds while in 1927 the british market imported more than g000000 pounds from canada nine years ago the total production of tobacco in canada was 13248962 pounds from 1gg21 acres of which ontario produced about fiveeights of the total crop in 192s the crop in canada was 41000000 pounds from 43000 acres in round figures this is nn increase in production of 29 per cent and an increase in acreage ot 159 per cent since 1921 ontario ac counted for 322g5s50 pounds from 32g5 acres quebec ss 140325 pounds from 103gs acres and british colum bia 101200 pounds from 110 acres of the i92s crop the british preferential tariff has had little or no effect on the tobacco industry in virginia the carolinas and other neighboring tobaccogrowing states because there long season tobaccos are grown which are of finer texture than any that can be grown in canada it has however affected the kentucky growers to some extent for canadian tobacco closely resembles the kentucky varieties owing to a closer similarity in soil and climatic conditions american tobacco growers have not been slow to recognize the changed conditions affecting their industry and have been moving in considerable numbers to canada to engage in tobaccogrowing there one such set tlor h b archibald an experienced tobacco grower from madisonville ky who is now growing tobacco on a large scale in ontario in a recent in terview with tho writer expressed the opinion that the british preferential tariff was too great a handicap fo- the kentucky grower to overcome in the british market there are unlimited possibilities for tobacco growing in canada ho said the soil is even better than in kentucky and the climatic condi tions equally favorable and there isj also a ready market for all tho tobacco that can be grown great britain will handle up to 150000000 pounds ot dark tobacco annually the best canadian tobacco is grown in the counties of essex kent elgin and middlesex in ontario but the soil and climatic conditions in our province favor very miieh greater ex pansion and some recent advances have been made it is in ontario that the develop ment of tobacco growing is expected to bo the most marked the domestic market will take practically tho entire quebec crop little of which owing to less favorahlo conditions for growing than prevails in ontario is suitable for export good
