CANADIAN FOOD FOR BRITAIN

Canada's value to Britain as a granary is seen in arrange- ments for the coming year which call for deliveries of 425,600,000 pounds of bacon and 112,000,000 pounds of cheese.

At the beginning of the war, Canada shipped 321,200,000 pounds of bacon and 90,000,000 pounds of cheese to Britain, a current monthly report of the Royal Bank of Canada discloses..

Production of farm animals, wool, poultry, and dairy pro- ducts was valued in 1939 at $445,724,000, making up 38 per cent, of the entire value of agricultural production in Cann- da.
