479. Transvaal Maize Imports. — A further idea of the local 

 consumption is gained from the figures of Transvaal imports 

 furnished by the South African Customs Statistical Bureau. 

 From these we find that in addition to the large amount pro- 

 duced locally in this colony alone, she imported in the year 

 1907 (chiefly from Natal and the Orange River Colony) 

 389,649 muids of maize, valued at ^177,006. The preceding 

 table (LXVII) shows the export from Natal to the Trans- 

 vaal in 1904, 1905, and 1906, both of Natal grown and im- 

 ported maize.
