The general approach used by the author in the analysis and presentation Of survey information has been to indicate the conditions out Of which arise the major problems Of the industry, and then in turn, to discuss these problems and where possible, to suggest remedies. The survey which provided the information was sponsored jointly by two branches Of the Dominion Department Of Agri culture; the Experimental Farms Branch assumed responsibility for technical assistance and contributed the major portion of the funds necessary to finance the project; the Economics Branch accepted responsibility for the supervision and conduct Of the work. Preliminary reports dealing with certain aspects of this study were published by the Economics Branch in mimeograph form in 1933 and 1934. In addition, the following articles dealing with the study appeared in The Economic Annalist under the dates listed.
