WORLD'S BACON SUPPLIES.
According to the International Year Book of Agricultural Statistics for 1930-31, published by the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, the pig population of the world is given as approximately 200.000,000. One of the most remarkable developments in this particular branch of the subject is in connection with Germany, where the pig population has risen from 20,000,000 in 1929 to 23,364.000 in 1930. The astonishing part of this increase is that German bacon is now being offered on the British market, and at prices against which British bacon is unable to compete. The United States of America comes ea/sily first as possessing the largest pig population of any country in the world, namely, 52,323.000. An interesting feature of these statistics is that the British Dominions and the British Empire show a steady increase in the pig population all the time.
