Port Arthur, Fort William, Nipigon, Kenora, 

 Frankford, Kapuskasing, Thorold, Cornwall, 

 Dryden, Sturgeon Falls, Strathcona, and Iro- 

 quois Falls. In Quebec, where the industry still 

 reigns supreme, expansions have been made by 

 companies operating at Chandler, Grand Mere, 

 Quebec, Clarke City, Crabtree, Kenogami, 

 Three Rivers, East Angus, Shawinigan Falls. 

 Renewed interest was exhibited during the year 

 in the industry in the Maritime Provinces and 

 new developments occurred in New Brunswick 

 at Glen Falls, at St. George and Andover, whilst 

 in Nova Scotia a new pulp mill was erected at 

 Wolfville and extensions for additional output 

 made to the one operating at Bear River. 

 Great interest was evinced in the pulp supplies 

 of British Columbia during the year, the results 

 of which have not yet all shown, but will doubt- 

 less be revealed in the coming years in the 

 increasing importance of this province as a pulp 

 and paper producing region. There were devel- 

 opments during the year on Vancouver Island 

 and at Prince Rupert. 



$265,000,000 Invested 



Owing to the tremendous development the 

 pulp and paper industry has undergone in the 

 past few years, it is a most difficult matter to 

 keep record of figures of progress. The statistics 

 of a survey conducted at the end of 1919 by the 

 Dominion Bureau of Statistics will give some 

 idea of its status, allowance being made for the 

 considerable expansion of the year 1920. At 

 the end of December, 1919, there were 99 plants, 

 of which 33 made paper only, 39 pulp only, and 

 27 pulp and paper. The amount of money 

 invested in the industry was $264,581,300, 

 divided amongst the provinces as follows: 

 British Columbia, 32,030,063; New Brunswick, 

 11,960,778; Nova Scotia, $1,208,255; Ontario, 

 95,281,040; Quebec, 124,101,164. There were 

 25,291 male employees and 1,274 female em- 

 ployees in the industry receiving in wages and 

 salaries the sum of 32,323,789. The value of 

 woodpulp production for sale that year was 

 $48,562,088, and of paper production, $91,- 

 362,913. 



Canadian Films in Europe 



The use to which Canadian films have been 

 put in Europe by the Canadian Government and 

 Canadian railroads is extensive. It tajces us back 

 fifteen years when the film was far from the 

 perfect creation of to-day, and consisted of films 

 and lectures combined with "stills." The cam- 

 paign covered practically the whole of the United 

 Kingdom to the most remote agricultural dis- 

 tricts and drew great crowds of people, many of 

 whom are now amongst the prosperous farmers 

 settled in different parts of Canada. 



At exhibitions on the continent as well as in 

 Great Britain, special features have been made 



of Canadian films, places where this has been 

 done including the Festival of the Empire, the 

 Crystal Palace, the Glasgow Exhibition, the 

 Ghent Fair all prior to the war and the Lyons 

 Fair and Paris, since. The astonishment of the 

 French people at evidences of industrial develop- 

 ment and scenic attraction was apparent as the 

 films were unreeled before them. Incredible as it 

 may seem, many yet thought Canada a land of 

 eternal ice and snow, inhabited by Indians and 

 Esquimaux, who gained their livelihood by fishing 

 and trapping. 



An Educational Feature 



During the war, as every overseas man knows, 

 many opportunities arose for the display of 

 Canadian films at training camps in England 

 and base rest camps in France. Among notable 

 displays given recently, was one before an 

 audience of over 2,000 people at Manchester; 

 another at Westminster before 2,500, etc. The 

 latter included parties of school children and 

 teachers organized by the London County 

 Council and other educational authorities. The 

 extraordinary success of the picture depicting 

 the tour of H.R.H. Prince of Wales through 

 Canada, which was shown at the Royal Albert 

 Hall before the King and Queen and audience 

 numbering over 7,000, created a most lasting 

 impression. Similar displays were given in 

 Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff 

 and Birmingham. The complete film was then 

 taken over by one of the large renting exchanges, 

 who have carried its extensive circulation 

 throughout other parts of the Empire. 



It is excellent testimony to the class of films 

 produced by Canada that at the present time, 

 many leading picture houses in different parts of 

 the world are regularly introducing Canadian 

 films in their daily programs. 



Canadian Tobacco Industry 



All evidence tends to indicate that the tobacco 

 industry in Canada is steadily developing into an activity 

 of first importance, and yearly achieving a more extensive 

 popularity. 



Various factors are contributing to this gratifying 

 state. Tobacco growing in Canada is no longer an 

 experiment, but now has years of proven success behind 

 it, and the assured adaptability of widely separated 

 sections of the Dominion to its cultivation. The pro- 

 tective duty imposed on all foreign leaf tobaccos gave a 

 healthy stimulus to the industry. The home market is 

 steadily increasing, whilst not a little interest has been 

 exhibited from abroad in the Canadian produced leaf. 

 F. Charlan, chief of the tobacco division of the Federal 

 Department of Agriculture, who went overseas to study 

 the tobacco market conditions, stated on his return that 

 British tobacco importers, including some of the largest 

 cigar and cigarette manufacturers, were keenly interested 

 in Canadian tobacco growing and anxious to purchase the 

 cured Canadian product. 



The growing interest in the cultivation of tobacco, 

 and the wider and more diversified field covered in 1920, 

 resulted in the production of an excellent crop, a record 

 one for the Dominion in this culture. With the smaller
