Agriculture has made greater progress in
British Columbia during the last ten years than Hay,
any of our industries. The actual increase in
volume was 121% .. . from 32 million dollars to
71 million. Think of it! Twenty-three thousand
farmers on three million acres of land produc~
ing food stuffs valued at 71 million dollars.
and our actual total agricultural wealth esti-
mated at 300 millions!

British Columbia’s average return per farm
during the last two years has been $3,087 per
annum .. . an average of $23.67 per acre under
cultivation, as against $12.13 for all Canada,

The strongest argument for our highly
fertile soil and our productive climate is found
in the ten years’ average yield based on Federal
Field Crop Reports. These reports prove that
our soil and climate yield more liberally than
any other province.

newspaper will bring them. Advertise your Province!

its natural resources as by its ability to produce FOOD

Canada has long been called “the Granary
of the World’’,..but few people seriously
think of British Columbia as an agricultural
Province. Actually, more than three million
acres-are now under cultivation... 19 million
acres are still available .. . an area equal to
Wales, Denmark and Belgium combined!

Livestock, dairying and fruit farming are
all prospering. Poultry revenue increased 100%
in 18 months and the eyes of the world look to
our fair province for even greater achievements.
Hen No. 6... the most prolific egg producer
ever hatched . . . has been our ‘‘World Poultry
Ambassador,” and has forced the world to
recognize our poultry supremacy!

A most encouraging feature of British
Columbia’s agricultural situation is the keen
interest our government has and is taking in
this vital question. A stabilized prosperity for
all can only be assured by enabling the farmer
to gain a fair profit. With all shoulders to the
wheel, great things will be accomplished and
the tangible progress that has been so out-
standing over this ten years record will seem
small when another decade has passed.
