tion.-and; in addition, they.'find it necessary to supplement this ''by importing 50,000 tons annually. At - present the source ot' supply is principally Siberia and Denmark. "Italv, with a'li estimated population in 1900 ot. 34,300,000,, is another instance where the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction.:;' Once they had a considerable surplus'for export; to-day it is necessary to supplement, local supplies by importation. "' France; with a population ot -41,000,000, is; also an illustration of the fact that local'supplies have to be augmented to., some extent 1 from outside sources. "As indicative of the development now proceeding ill. European countries, I may mention that, from the year 1900 to 1910, it appears that the total number of cattle in Europe has increased. When, however, this increase is compared with that of: the growth, of population per thousand it, lias,, decreased. . During the above period the population has increased by 13.2 per'cent".," whilst'the number of cattle has only, increased by-4.4 per cent. On the other hand, in America and Australia, the proportionate increase in cattlo has been greater than that of the population. "The djvelopment and expansion of the "United States during recent years has been verv creat. . With a population (in .1910) of actively engaged in commerce and agriculture, its influence has been world-wide. The point that in* terests the. Dominion .is not its prosperity, not.-its effect on other civilised nations, but tli9 fact that .agriculture has not grown proportionately with its increase of population."
