Today agriculture in the province is not limited to wheat alone. The province is rich in livestock, having more horses than any other province, and stands fourth among the provinces in the production of cattle, hogs and sheep. Mr. Eisenhauer said we have more farmers paying income tax than any other province in Canada, and one-third of all income tax payments by all the farmers in Canada is paid by Saskatchewan farmers. In addition to the land, one of the province s greatest resources is the Saskatchewan river, Mr. Eisenhauser said. Speaking of the Saskatchewan river, Mr. Eisenhauer said from this river will come power development greater than anything Saskatchewan has ever seen.
Cheap power means industrial development, diversifying our income.
Irrigation means security of returns to the farmer, increased population, manufacturing and processing industries and prosperous communities. Good Place Mr. Eisenhauer also told the Rotary club the province has an enviable record in its social consciousness. Our health and hospital services, air ambulances, the tuberculosis and cancer clinics have made Saskatchewan a good place in which to live. The deaths among whites from tuberculosis are the lowest of any province. The upsurge for control and research with cancer in the newly established clinics puts Saskatchewan in a place of leadership on the continent in combating this killer.
