The war having been brought to \
favorable conclusion more attention
can now be given to the agricultural
and industrial development Of Western
Canada, which We're checked by the
trOublous times Of the past four years.
Now that these are over, the proper
development Of the country will be
continued.
True. much agricultural progress has
been made during this time. Crop pro-
duction hns been greatly increased. the
number Of live stock has steadily
grown, and with each succeeding year
the dairying and wool Industries have
become more important. But despite
this forward march, many phases OF
development have been held in check.
The activities OF farmers. too. have
been greatly hampered by shortage OF
labor, and. under the circumstances.
what they have achieved can only be
described us marvellous.
