Stewart, of that place, rather surpris- ed the dry farming delegates at the Swift Current convention, by stating that not only did the Russian thistle serve in the scarcity of other fodder but that it had a real food value. He himself had a bunch of horses that came through the winter in great shape fed only on the thistle, and he believed it had great possibilities | as a pasture crop, Cattle, sheep and! hogs liked the thistle, and it undoubt- } edly had a nutritive value.

While delivering an address at a patriotle rally held in Massey Hall, Toronto, under Empire Club auspl- ces, on November 22, 1918, Hon, J, M, Cox, Governor of the state of Ohio, carrled the audience with him when he declared that the kalser was a criminal and should undergo trial as a common murderer and assassin for violation of international laws, Mr, Cox Impressed his hearers by his elo- quent declaration of friendship to- wards Canada and Britain, He spoke eloquently in defence of good rela- tlons between America and Canada,

“We are proud of the fact,” ho sald, “that between us is the longest boun- dary line in the world unmarked by the bayonet, untrammeled by cannon, eloquent of the fact that the brother- hood of man {Js born of emotions that carry us and our moral outlook as high as the heavens themselves. 1 hope that any man in the United States of America who, in a spirit of mischief, or in a demagoglc spirit at- temps to inflame our people and pols-

Totals, $72,200, $67,504, $143,356. Many of these importa are offset by our exports of the same class, That is, Canadian manufacturers import much of their “raw material from abroad, and the Canadian farmers have to export the results of their work to be raw material in other countries, The needless “criss-cross- | ing” of products and the expense of | their transportation might be largely eliminated were Canadian manufac- turers and Canadian farmers to be more closely linked together.

Millions of Acres Of Arable Land are

During the past couple of months,

conflicting statements regarding the

available acreage of good farming

land within a radius of fifteen miles of existing railroads in western Can- ada have been made, and though the matter of five or six thousand acres in a total of approximately 30,000,000 at this stage of settlement, is not one

of great importance, it is of consider- Col. J. S. Dennis, ad- dressing the Alberta Industrial Con- gress, placed it at 3,000,000 acres; the Western Canada Colonization Association in their recent announce- ments at twenty million; while Mayor Brown, of Medicine Hat, in his speech to the Canadian Manufacturers’ As- sociation, returns it at 25,000,000; and other authorities range from 20 to 35.

able interest.

It is of particular interest to know, then, that one of the ablest statistic- ians, and best-known old-timers in the west, Mr. William Pearce, places the figure at 33,818,000, and in work- ing out these figures he has produced some interesting data on the acreage under cultivation in the prairie prov- inces. They are based on his !ong years of residence in the West and first hand knowledge of the country, probably, Mr. Pierce, as a surveyor, engineer, stat- istician is better acquainted with the whole of these provinces than any other single indi- vidual,

and in this respect,

and business man,

The method adopted to determine the quantity was as follows: Taking the within 15 miles of already established railway lines and those

Ascer- from

The next step was to find out how many settlers, as given in the census, were residing on land outside of the ES inite radius. There is absolutely no reliable data from which this could be accurately determined. By referr- ing to table 25 in the census of 1916, where information is furnished by the

doubt that it is sufficiently close for the purpose required.

Having estimated them, they were subtracted from those given in the census of each federal constituency, which indicated the number of sett- lers residing within the 15‘mile rad- ius, and allowing for each settler an area of 320 acres, for reasons herein- before stated, give the area occupied within this radius.

The next question was what per- centage of those lands available would likely be settled, That involy- ed a decision on which of course there may be very great difference in opin- ion. By settling is meant, would pro- bably be settled upon within the next 15 or 20 years, The lesser the per- centage remaining to be settled in the older constituencies, of course, the less it would be settled, from the fact that the lands left were not the most desirable .tracts, and it is par- ticularly noticeable in the percentages given for Manitoba, that in the very best constituencies so far at least as grain growing lands are concerned, such as Souris, Neepawa, Brandon and Lisgar, the percentage of that avail- able for settlement that will be settled is placed very low,

Again, some of the constituencies in Saskatchewan are placed as high as 90 percent and five at 80 percent. This favorable showing regarding Saskat- chewan will not continue as settle- ment is extended outside of the 15- mile radius. Manitoba averages 39,05 percent, Saskatchewan 70.01 percent,

and Alberta 37.01 percent of the lands |

available for settlement that will pro- bably be so settled.

There are connection with the percentages that have to be considered, One is.in the of muskegs, sloughs, ete, and another what might be called the semi-arid portions of the country, such as Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Swift Current, etc. They had to be

There is one thing to be borne in

and that is, where any considerable area of land can be irrigatéd, as there is no doubt it will be in the ture, by reason of the increased pro- duction of the irrigated portions, the would support a

Resources of Saskatchewan

Inventory of Natural Wealth of the Province Given by Experts

Because the conference was of the opinion that there is need of a sys- tem of irrigation in this province, the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Society of Engineers passed a resolu- tion asking the government to insti- tute a survey for this purpose. The conference was attended by engineers from all the principal cities of Sask- atchewan,

“Natural Resources of Saskatche- wan,’ was the subject of a paper by R. W. E. Loucks, surveyors depart- ment of the Land Titles office, Re- gina, Dealing first with the soil, the speaker pointed out that out of 94 million acres suited to agriculture only 20 millions acres at the present time were cultivated. Then, briefly outlining the geological formation of our soil, the speaker dealt with the amount of crops produced. In 1915 the total wheat crop exceeded in value the total gold output in the whole history of the Klondyke. There was no doubt that the soil was the greatest natural resource of this province.

That the great forests between the Saskatchewan and Churchill Rivers were of immense value to the prov- ince, yielding four cords per acre, , was the belief of Mr. Loucks, Of all |the timber the white spruce was the | most valuablé. To preserve our tim- ; ber’ we must eliminate forest fires the outstanding point of the speakers subsequent remarks.

Examination of the geological for- mation of the northern parts of the great mineral Lignite coal has been found outcropping in various parts of the and through the develop- the briquette plants would have our fuel problem partial- ly solved. It was also pointed out that the manufacture of lignite briq- uettes gave gas as a by-product, and this added to our water power, would | solve the power question for us as a province.

Fire clays can be found in our | province, which will enable us to manufacture nearly all the clay prod- jucts used. Terra cotta is one of the | aye probable resources.

Lesson Canada Must Learn

Save From “Fat” Years to Tide Over “Lean” Ones

Canada must take a lesson from the pages of history if the Dominion’s great agricultural regions in the west are to continue in successful operation indefinitely—a lesson of learning how to save from the “fat” years to tide over the “lean” ones,

That was one of the solutions of the future agricultural welfare of the country offered by Professor John Bracken, the newly oppointed princi- pal of the Manitoba Agricultural Col: lege, Winnipeg, to the members ot} the commission on conservation in conference on soil fertility and soil fibre. :

“There are years in Western Can- ada,” said Prof. Bracken, “when, in spite of anything that can be done, crops will fail. We must overcome this problem by saving from the “fat” years to meet the needs of the ‘lean’ years, We must save feed, sced, straw and money.

“That has been the method of suc- cessful agricultural nations ever since the world began. We will do well to heed the lesson,”

Prof. Bracken told the 100 members of the commission that the state’s future cannot be left to the individual — especially the state’s agricultural future,

wit conserve the state’s business of the individual, If Canada, through this commission, takes the initiative, the individual will follow.”

In his address on “cropping systems for drought areas,” Prof. Bracken pointed out the best methods of off- setting the detrimental effects of the water shortage.

“The wealth of a dry country,” he not determined by the

Alberta is now the possessor of six provincial schools of agriculture. These schools ‘are located at the towns of Vermilion, Youngstown, Olds, Gleichen, Claresholm and Ray- mond,

The object of the agricultural schools cannot be better expressed than in the words of the Hon, Dun- can Marshall provincial ‘minister of} agriculture, whose efforts are to a} great extent responsible for the effi- ciency of agricultural education in} Alberta. He states:

“The schools of agriculture have been established specially to give the farmer's son and the farnfer’s | daughter that type of education which will better fit them for their business in life; that of agriculture,
