Orie reason why the farmers of the Page 6 MEDICINE HAT NEWS TWO THINGS NEEDED BY CANADIAN WEST Mixed Farming and Indus- trial Centers Essential, Says Sir W. Whyte. Western Canada is essentially an agricultural country, but it is a ques- tion worthy of discussion as to how far it should remain agricultural, writes Sir William Whyte im the Can- dian Courier. It is generally admit- ted. that a purelp agricultural coun- try may have its prosperity consid erably increased by concurrent de velopments of an entirely different na ture. In onder that the agriculturist or farmer map reap the fullest bene fit from the labor of his hands, itis necessary thaf he should be able to sell his products in the most * con- venient way and at the highest pos- sible price. It is absolutely essential prosperity of the western farmer that thera should be industrial centres throughout this portion of the Domi- nion. Export prices ere usually low- ex than domestic pricer, In onder to wet the higher prices of domestic market it is necessary to have towns unh cities of a considerable size. These can only te secured theongh indus- wiel and commercial developmen to the United Styces have always supported protection has been the good prices , they received for everything sold for Jocal consumption.

Only limit- ed quantities of wheat, barley, oats sand flax cam be used locally. All the other articles mentioned must te grown in otder to develop and supply domestic consumption. Beef is al- anost the only article of whicks the west: produces sufficient to supply its own need.- It is an axporter of beef today, but it may not be maay years before it will be an. importer. The day of the large cattle ranch will soon be a thing of the past. Winter wheat and alfalia are now being produced where large cattle runs existed e few years ego, and unless the farmers go imore into the raising of cattle there is o Possibil ty of th esupply not be- ing equal to the demand. Industrial cantres will, not bring their greatest benefits to Western Canada -without this introduction of mixed farming. The two movements gist proceed side by side. Manitoba is already gaining in both-directions- Saskatchewan and Alberta must do the same in order,to bring the pro- sperity af the agricultural popula- tion to the highest possible point. With regard to the establishment of manufacturing in the West, I om of the opinion that there area large aumber of articles that could be pro- fitably, produced here. Without going into details would mention stoves, grain separators, certain kinds of fur- witure, office equipment, men s cloth- ing, and boots and shoes. The West i ee powers, and hydno-lectric euergy witt soda Be available at q number of used to great advantage in manufac- turing of certain kinds. As for mixed farming, there are large areas quite suitable for it. The ifficulty im persuading the farmers to go in for mixed farming is the ex- pense involved in providing suitable nildings to protect fowls, pigs and cows. The cold weather of the win- ter makes it necessary that these Tbuildiogs Le subktantially constructed. Then there is tha question of secur- ing: suitable help. This question is being rapidly solved, and during- the past two years there has been a large immigration from Great Britain of the class suitable for the kind of work to be done on farms where mix- ed far ing is followed. It is e well- known fact that the growing of wheat Foquires less labor on the farm: than does mixed farming. It bas other privileges also in that when the grain grower has. marketed his crop ha can and often does deave his farm and spend the winter elyewhere. While this may tbe plea- sant for the grain grower it is not advantageous to th country as it reduces the Jemand for clothing and farming, there would be a larger pop- Proportion of farmers followed mixed food. Ox the other hand if q fair ulation on the farm and a greater de- med for manufactured articles, such 5 tlothing, boots and shoes, house utensils and such Hke, It will timis be'scen that the future dayelopment of the West is tmsed om these two intimately related cs- pentials arixtd farming and imdus- trial development.
