FRUIT TREES THRIVE
IN PRAIRIE PROVINCES
Remarkable Change in Ten
Years Noted by Writer.

Yes. the prairie provinces Of Canada
are certainly growing. Twenty years
ago only those with the seer's vision
ever hoped to see genuine orchards in
Manitoba, says the Winnipeg Free Press.
To-day any one In Winnipeg can jump
on a street car and run out to the
Agricultural College and see an orchard
that would not be put to shame by some
the old orchards of say Northern On
ario.
Verses have been sung in praise of
those who PLANT a Tree" but what
)ean of praise should be sung for the
men who succeed in producing a fruit
rec that will bear luscious fruit in q
country thought to be beyond the fruit
bearing zone?
With no idea of irreverenoe surely
these men may look about their work
rs creators and feel with the Great
Creator at the beginning of time "Tl1at
1t is good"
This thought came to the writer two
weeks ago when standing on the For
estry Farm at Indian Head and looking
round at the waving avenues of trees
the plums and crab trees. laden with
fruit growing within the shelter Of the
fir trees, and realizing that in ten years
through the patient labor of human
hands, under guiding brain, this had
been created from a stretch of bare
prairie.
Manitoba and indeed the prairie prov,
inces generally are only at the begin,
nlng of what they may hope to do IT
fruit and tree culture.

nYent farmer and rancher; p. Burns,
millionaire packer. rancher and farmer !;
George Lane, millionaire rancher and
farmer. and A. e. Cross. manufacturer,
all pioneers in the development of the
Canadian West, put up 100000 to in
sure the success of the ''victory Stsm-
pede" held here August $3.50. They
were influenced purely by sentimental
considerations. As oldtimers they were
eager for another week OF wild western
scenes, and they we're quite willing to
pay $4,000 each If necessary to insure
the success of the frontier celebration.
They financed similar stampede In
1912 and turned the total net receipts
over to the hospitals Of this city. This
year they are turning over the proceeds
to the Great War Veterans Association,
the Y. NJ c. A and the Salvation Army.
Each of these men started in the West
literally without cent and each is now
rated as a millionaire or multi-million-

country by Britain. France and Belgium.

CANADA'S BIG CHANCE

Japanese are already very favorably
disposed toward Canada and Canadians,
such an undertaking. II properly
handled, could do much to improve
trade between the two countries.
Conditions in China.
Speaking of China, Mr. Wilson said
that although financial conditions are
still more or less chaotic, matters are
mending rapidly. Americans had, he
believed, no conception OF the extraor-
binary commercial and Industrial posi-
bilities of the country: and in the face
of these, and of the fact that the Chi
nese are capable and adaptable people
there was no question OF the eventual
recovery of the country.
China possesses enormous areas Of un'
developed minerals of every descrip-
ton, and It's agricultural resources are
llmitless. The country suffers from
lack of modern transportation facilities
OF course. there being under seven thou.
sand miles of railroad in the whole oil
China
But the one great hope of China lies
in the fact that the number of educated
Cinnamon is increasing yearly. ''Thest
wideawake men fully realize the possi
billties of their native land and are
making vigorous attempts to reuse ,theii
more apathetic countrymen," said Mr.
Wilson. These men are intensely pa
triotic and look with dislike upor
spheres OF influence and similar de-
vices of foreign policy" ...
Everything possible should be done by
Canadians and Americans alike, In Mr.
Wilson's opinion, to win the confidence
Of the Chinese business men and people
The distrnst of the predatory instincti
of the foreigner which is abroad amont
