declared.

do not think there will be rise
until next year. At present, the low
prices arc due to under consumption,
rather than over production, and this
can be remedied only by falling off
in the size of the dairies or the EN-,
ployment of labor.
"Total production will not be low
cred. Few cows will be sent to the
butcher until beef cattle prices are
higher, and other thing that will swell
the amount of milk is that many farm

sold milk.

better prices, but Of course they do
not want them to go skyhigh, as few

reasonable doubt. The country is new.
Ii is within the memory of many who

no railroads, no settlements beyond
that of some of the Hudson Bay posts,
a few courageous ranchmen and In
dams. Ii was a country of unknown
quantity. II Is different today, and IL
has been made different in that short
time because of the latent stores of
wealth hidden in the land, which has
been made TO yield bountlfully through
the daring enterprise of the pioneer
and the railways that had the courage
to extend their enterprising lines of
steel throughout its length and a great
portion Of Its breadth. Villages and
hamlets have developed into towns and
towns into cities, supported and main

cally from all parts Of the world. and

up land that cost them but a trife as
compared with what they were able
to dispose OF the holdings upon which
they had been living for years. These
people brought with them a method
in life that electrified and changed the
entire Canadian West. Today things
are different. and n trip to Western
Canada will show n country new but
old. New because changes have been
wrought that give 10 the newcomer
the opportunity 10 become part of n
growing and developing country-it
gives the chance TO say what shnll be
made Of II; old because there has been
brought into its life those things
that have proven useful In older coun-
tries. while there has been eliminated
everything that would tend to n back

social matters. treats OF the schools,
and says:
Everywhere the school follows the
pillow. Cities which a few years ago
were represented by scattered shacks
are proud today OF their school build
ings. The web Of education Is being
spread over the prairie. Lately,
however. n new policy has been adopt
ed. Instead OF many rural schools.
big central schools are being estab-
lished-each serving m area Of fifty
