Canadian dairy products, like Cana-

farms of the Dominion, are being pur-'
chased in increasing quantities by the,

The population of the world is cat
ceasing at the rate of 50,000 a day,
according to an article, by Prof. Ed-
ward Murray East, of Harvard Uni-
versity, published in a recent number |
of “Current History.” Prof. East}
says that, taking the world over, there
are on the average 150,000 births and
100,000 deaths in a day, making a net
daily gain of 60,000. Prof. East
places the present population of the
world at 1,850 millions, and says it
has more than doubled since the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century.
‘Statistics are assembled to show
that as population in any country}
reaches a certain density the rate of
increase falls off, until it becomes
practically stationary. This has al-
ready happened in China, and has al-
most come about in India. | Prof.
East quotes authorities to the effect
that the popyation of tWe United)

200,000,000 and that this figure will be |
reached in the present century.

An important factor in the popula-
tion development of the North Amer-
ican continent is Canada, which oc-
cupies an area greater than that of

inhabitants. Prof.
East finds that population in Canada!
is increasing rapidly, the birth rate]
being more than double the death |
rate. The death rate in Canada is |
313 per thousand compared with 11.9)
in the United States, and the birth rate
in Canada is 26.7 per thousand com-
pared with 22,5 in-the United States.

Prof. Fast’s calculations do not in-|
clude the effect of immigration on
population. This has been a big fac-
tor in the United States in the past,
and promises to be equally important
in Canada in the near future. The)
