Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 2: A Review of Foreign Farm Policy, Production, and Trade; February 1938 The exporting of natural products forms the basis of the Canadian national economy. In the early years, furs, fish, and wood products were of first importance in the export trade.' But during the nineteenth century, under the stimulus of the increasing demand for imported food, particularly wheat, incidental to the industrialization of Western Europe, agricultural exports assumed fie place. The emphasis on expansion of agricultural production and exports is accounted for, primarily, by the large land resources in relation to the population only about people at the present time. The general View appeared to be that the foreign market was practically limitless and that the main agricultural problems were those of increased production and of transportation to market. As late as 1930, homesteading of new areas, especially in the western wheat regions, was still being undertaken. Wheat has always been the principal Canadian agricultural product as well as the leading agricultural export. Other important items are cheese, tobacco, pork products, live cattle, apples, and certain other fruits. In most cases, the greater part of the exports is taken by the United Kingdom.

Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 2: A Review of Foreign Farm Policy, Production, and Trade; June 1938 Armed with the new knowledge in technique, the propagandists of the new methods, like Arthur Young who started his celebrated tours in 1757, began a widespread campaign for their general adoption. The move ment gained headway slowly, however, for the scattered strips or small farms of the old system were poorly adapted to the new methods. Moreover, the villagers frequently were suspicious of their expediency an atti tude which appears to be justified in the light of subsequent events.

Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 2: A Review of Foreign Farm Policy, Production, and Trade; October 1938 The Soviet Government did not limit itself to mere criticism; it decided to correct the situation by introducing a number of vital reforms. To begin with, the management of the farm was decentralized and the original State Farm Grain Trust was broken up into nine regional trusts. The newly organized Commissariat of State Grain and Livestock Farms was to coordinate the activities of the regional units. In the course of time, however, the regional trusts came to be looked upon as barriers hampering the contact between the Commissariat and the ih dividual farms. The trusts were abolished in 1935 and the state farms reverted to the old system of central administration from Moscow. But this change, too, lasted only a short time; it developed that, whatever the theoretical rights of the managers.

Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 2: A Review of Foreign Farm Policy, Production and Trade; April 1938 The serious shortcomings peculiar to the Indian textile industry have undoubtedly retarded its progress; but, as already indicated, the industry has expanded, although at a considerably slower pace than in Japan.
