She also imported 9,360,400 bushels from Russia, 2,050,387 from Germany, 804,533 from France, 201,653 from 'Roumauia, 265,843 from Austria-Hungary and 76,533 busnels from Bulgaria, a total of 12,759, 949 bushels that will have to be made up. There was a - de- crease in Russia’s exportation to Britain of 7,000,000 bus’iels in 1913 compared with 1912 and of 24.000,- 000 compared with 1911. In 1913 the ‘United States supplied the united Kingdom with 80.013579 bushels, an increase of 32,000,000 bushels over 1912 and 43,000,000 bus'aeis over 1911, while Canada's increase in 1913 over 1912 was only 1,177,000 bushels. Great Britain‘s total im- portations reached 229,580,885 bus hels. Great Britain imported 1‘\245,000 bushels of barley from Russia in 191‘3,',32-10,E33 bushels from Rou- mania, 5,208,700 bushels from Tur- key in Asia, 832,067 from Germany and 622,533 from Austria-Bngary' a total of 24,148,533 bushels. Can- ada supplied 5,977,533 bushels and the United States 10,355,567 bush- e16. Great Britain’s total mmurta- tions amounted to 52,358,215 bushels. Great Britain imported $173,459 busnsls of oats from Russia in 1913, 11,273,459 bushels from Ger- many, and 2,007,765 uushels from Roumanfia, a total of £354,683 bushels. Canada supplied 7.734.588 bushels and the United States 4,- 723,814. Great Britain‘s total im- portations of oats were 59 829,950 bushels. Surely the foregoing figures carry their own moral to the Canadian farmers. Great Britain imported 185.122.3300 bushels of wheat from August 1. 1913 to July 31. 1914. Russia export- ed 163363000 bushels and Rou- mania 45,642,000 bushels in the same period. How much \x‘i'il these two countries export tuis your? M Mr. Jas.

How is the defi- ciency to be made up? Great Britain from August 1.- 1913 to July 31, 1914, imported 46.- 169,000 bushels of barley, Austria- H-ungary 8,064,000 bushels, and Roumamia 18,941,000 bushels.
