SOUND REASONS for Chopping in Shannon. Money earned in any -district'should be circulated in the same district to- ensure its progress. It is your*own citizens and business men who are concerned in the welfare of your town, not the city merchant. Every penny spent outside your own town is assisting the progress of another. Take pride in your town —talk of it to others, mention its attractions, dilate on its possibilities and its future. Always try to obtain your requirements locally. See the display of goods your tradespeople have at the present moment. They are generally of good quality and priced as reasonably as fair trading will permit. This is only BOOST, not Boast. Do your share. BOOST SHANNON.

It ;is very satisfactory to fiave to nijtnoimce tliat our butter trade with the United States is beginning to grow into : considerable proportions. The last ’Frifco steamer took away 1,500 boxes to one firm, all from factories near Wellington, and each succeeding steamer for the next few months will carry similar or larger shipments. The | people who send away the 1,500 boxes hope to come back in future seasons, and are already looking for suitable places in which to start butter factories of their own; but as they want to ship from Wellington, there is very little chance of tlicir being able to establish themselves. The growth of the industry is tending* further North, and shipment to ’Frisco is not so. convenient from the Northern port. Fair shipments have been made from Auckland to Vancouver, 1 lie trade to which port is likely to increase to fair proportions. Markets in the Fast are also looking for supplies, but the want of direct shipping facilities will no doubt tend to drive all the trade from that part of the world to Australia. The North of England, too, are pushing into our market for butter, the diminishing sup-

plies from, Denmark being responsible for this. The Ship Canal people have their representative in the country at the present time, looking for shipments of all our products, but what they do not seem to understand is that New Zealand' has bceii too long in the business to - want to send her butter, cheese, or meat to firms whose names are not even known in this country. f * In the "year 1920 Canada produced 149,521,0081bs cheese, valued at 39,087,937 dollars. Ontario led in production, with 92,847,7691b5, followed by Quebec with 52,441,5041b5. In order named come Prince Edward Island, 2,081,277 lbs; New Brunswick, 1,212,4301b5; Alberta, with 398,7501b5; British Columbia, 342,0531b5; Manitoba, 116,2291b5; Nova Scotia, 52,6381b5; and Saskatchewan, 28,3671b5. In the year 1920 there wore operating in Canada 1,674 factories, in which cheese solely was.made, and 410 combined butter and cheese factories, making a total of 2,054 establishments manufacturing cheese. The average prcc obtainable for the product, during the year was 26 cents, as compared with an average of 264 cents.
