When interviewed Mr. tOWers ms,
discussed the weather ana cVmparns
IL WItn the turrid week slnse ms re-
turn, ne was more enthusiastic in his
description of the delightful climate
and charming habitability OF the place
when we got into Winnepcg,' said
ne I'VE had ON over coats but they
were soon laid aside ON the journey
south The climate of Saskatchewan
is wonderful, it is warm there, during
the day, but it is that dry heat that
is not unpleasant and is not noticed
within doors. IL isn't that
stict kind we are having
down here. The sun is shining there
now, from $3.50 in the morning tin .
O'Clock or after at night but after
sun down we all have fire in the
crate"
1T would take a vivid Imagination
to describe anything In bright pictures
Of the land in tn. saskatchewan pro-
vince. There isn't tree, there is no
grass, just miles of unbroken prairie
'and horizon DO you like 1t was
asked. Like 1t, l think 1t is wonder
full"
In speaking Of the emigration he
said:
"People are learning from all over
the world that Canada is one of the
best adapted for raising grain Of any
counIry VI Nhe world. Last Jane
forty thousand emigrants entered the
Saskatchewan province Tor agricul-
tural purposes and 1t is known that
the population of the state of Iowa
is actually decreased because of the
emigration into Canada"
What do you think of Canada as
an agricultural country was asked?
1T is wonderful, perhaps | am over
exuberant, over enthusiastic. but
thing ii TO be one Of the greatest
grain growing countries in the world.
1t is estimated that our province
alone Will yield over 100000. 900 bushels
Of wheat this year and only one
eighth OF the land is under cultivation.
The land can't be cultivated every
year. In the first place thousands
and thousands of acres are unbroken
prairc. That land must be seasoned
before 1t can grow wheat MI Pow
ers stated that they had put their $
into flax as that was one Of the best
crops TO properly season the
land and that next year the
crop would put one third into wheat.
He stated that at least once in FIVE
years that it was best to let the
ground lie idle for year. so that
many people taking up a vast amount
Of land would cultivate in such a
way that one fraction would get a
rest each year.
Mr.. Powers stated that Canada was
not a manufacturing country or a
commercial country. that is was sim
ply an agricultural country. He stated
that a man could go TO Canada and
take up land without cent II he
would agree to pay for II in crops.
The government bonds are guaran-
teed on the strength Of the crops.
He stated that It was very difficult
TO obtain hired labor, so very uni.
due way of procuring harvest help

bring in men from all over the world.
