The war having been brore,.
favorable conclusion more et a.,
can now be given to the agr S,5al'
and industrial development Of w Ir''a
Canada, which were checked ~ ss'S \
troublous times of the past fon, : "
Now that these are over. tba n ss''S
development of the country ,r tr'pa
continued.
True, much agricultural progra,,
been made during this time Cron 10
duction has been greatly increased y
number of live stock has stoas
grown, and with each succeeding ~.
the dairying and wool industries 6,'
become more important. But da,rr
this forward march, many phases !,
development have been held in ob.S
The activities of farmers, too b,,
been greatly hampered by shora,. !
labor, and, under the circumst,n,s
what they have achieved can onlv /
described as marvellous.
Excepting those industries cIosol, i
lied to agriculture, such as butter a.,
cheese manufacture, industrial actiui,
in the Prairie Provinces has been !,
most at a StandStill. And even /
these branches extensions have han
strictly limited to those of urgpDr n.
cessity. Building has been cOnsd.
ably curtailed, especially in the town
and cities, though many commOdas
and up-tO-date dwellings, barns ana
other buildings have been erected h !
farmers in the country. Indeed III.
amount of building farmers have dan.
is one of the outward signs of tbet
prosperity; but considerably more
it would have been done had not h
more important work of food prOdur
ton received priority in the labor 7
available. Railway construction Vws
has been almost entirely suspended \
With more help available, and The \
use of the labor-saving devices that
have been adopted during the last fen
years great advances in the aghUl 6
tural development Of Western Canaa
might be looked for even if no new
settlers were expected; but the CON
ing of thousands of prospective SET
tiers who have hitherto been deferred
only by the unsettled conditions from
making their homes in this last great
West will give a considerable impetus
to every phase of agriculture in aes
Prairie Provinces.
Hand in hand with the develOpna
of agriculture, there will be a renewal
of industrial activity. For the eSit
lishment of such industries as sugr
refineries, canneries, and many OthS
industries for the utilization Of th
products of the land, as well as To-
the extension of the already imFr
tant industries of butter and cleeS
manufacture, are splendid OppOrun
ties. Mining, numbering, Quanyl!
the manufacture of clay products as
also a few industries capable OF COD
siderable growth, and to which grear
er attention can now be devoted
To provide accommodation for pfs
