Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 5000 Years
1t Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set
ting of Millions.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources OF Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department Of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have bean
little explored. there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials OF the
department estimate that OF btu
minous coal there is In Canada 73b
billion tons; OF anthracite 461 mill
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
Of coal now annually mined In Canada
Is about IL million tons With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of "A billion tons. 1t would require
6,i66 years to exhaust the supply. IL
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1855 years. OF
course the coal demands Of Canada
win keep on increasing, but It will be
a good many years before the quantity
OF Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,000,000 tons. AT that rate 1t
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply of
good coal. and abou. $50 years to get
to the end OF the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per.
sons year land 1t looks now as If this
number would be reached this year,,

crop was in It's green stage. said:
Just now. the whole country is o

acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing az prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one OF few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop Of 3oo,O00.000 bushels OF wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage c. \ gIo-

The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is excess

With the advent Of the boil weevil
