While the rural population in Canada, as in other\ncountries, shows a very low rate of increase, the urban population\nhas increased enormously, being (12 per cent, greater, as reported\nby the last census, than ten years previously. In parts of Eastern\nCanada, the farming population even shows a decrease, while the\ninflux of settlers in the West has been only sufficient to increase\nthe rural population of the Dominion 17 per cent. This means that\nthe city dwellers, the consumers of farm products, have increased\nnearly four times as fast as the producers. That this condition of\naffairs is likely to prove a serious menace to the prosperity of the\nnation goes without saying.\nThe census figures relating to livestock and poultry bear out\nthe theory that the unbalanced increase in population is responsible\nfor increased prices. During the years that the population has i .\nbeen increasing so rapidly, the livestock industry has been actually lial condition of the province\ndeclining. In 1008 the number of milch cows in Canada was'\n2,917,740. and in 1912 it was only 2,890,100. Other cattle showed\na still heavier decline. In 1903 the figures were 4.629,836, and\nlast year had dropped to 4,093,600. The sheep industry is declining\nas rapidly. In I9(i8 there were 2,831,404 sheep, and last year there\nwere only 2,360,600. The number of swine shows a still greater\ndecrease from 3,369,858, to 2,654,400.\nTake the question of eggs. In 1891 there were three hens in\nCanada for every one of our population. In 1901 the ratio was\nabout the same. In 1911 the ratio was about four to one. Ten\nyears ago 73,000,000 eggs were consumed in Canada. Last year\nwe consumed 143,000,000.\nIn view of the figures given, it is no wonder that prices of\nfood have advanced. To find a remedy for the condition which\nconfronts us will'be a difficult matter. Tariff tinkering will be of\nno avail, and it seems doubtful if any legislative measures would\nbe of benefit. An extension of the movement for the settlement s?\nand development of our great unused farming areas would appear\nto be the only practicable step, and we look to see such action\ntaken as a result of the work of the federal commission which is\nbeginning the investigation of the problem.\nLumbermen's Convention\nVancouver, Dec. 17:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDHon.
