Section 1 (D) — Saw Mills 



Operation was continued of the two portable saw mills installed in 1923, to 

 assist the sufferers from the fire of October, 1922, in the vicinity of New Liskeard. 

 The cost of operations during the year was $6,678.10, resulting in the production 

 of 1,124,129 feet b.m. of lumber. 



Section 2 (1) — Seed Grain 



The demand for seed distribution through the Northern Development 

 Branch, which had shown a decline in 1923, dwindled in the past season to small 

 proportions. The majority of the farmers of the north are not now applying 

 for government aid in their seed purchases, but are either saving their own grain 

 for the purpose or obtaining their supplies locally. The total quantities sold 

 by the branch in 1924 were: Oats, 4,251 bushels; wheat, 306 bushels; barley, 

 536 bushels, at a total cost of $7,662.69.
