SUGAR CONSUMPTION IN CANADA 

 The per capita distribution of sugar in 

 Canada during 1919 was 94.95 pounds. 

 Ontario had the heaviest share, with 

 130.80 pounds per capita ; New Brunswick 

 was second, with 110.81 pounds ; Mani- 

 toba third, with 106.78 pounds ; and the 

 remaining Provinces followed in this or- 

 der : Alberta, 84.78 pounds ; Nova Scotia, 

 80.09 pounds; British Columbia, 72.71 

 potmds ; Saskatchewan, 71.13 pounds ; 

 Quebec, 68.98 pounds ; Prince Edward 

 Island, 40.42 pounds. 



Ontario, New Brunswick and Manitoba 

 use large quantities of sugar for the 

 manufacture of candies and soft drinks. 

 The small consumption in Quebec is 

 thought to be chiefly due to the develop- 

 ment of the maple-sugar industry there. — 

 Consul Felix S. S. Johnson. Kingston, 

 Ontario.
