"In a vast country like Canada, containing within its boundaries so great a wealth of natural resources, there should be only two major problems in public policy, first, to proâ€" vide for the gradual development of these reâ€" sources by the introduction of new capital and by promoting a healthy incvrease in the working population, and secondly, to so direct the quest for and distribution of such new population as In advocating an agricultural and colonizaâ€" tion forward movement, "The Farm and Ranch Review", published in the West, in a recent article declared Canada‘s key problem to be the creation of a unanimous and vigilant public deâ€" mand for a comprehensive National Colonizaâ€" tion policy. The writer, in discussing the subâ€" ject, says: "What Canada, and many other countries, has suffered from during recent years, and what has given rise to general unemployment, is not oveiâ€"production, not unbalanced producâ€" tion. While Canada‘s population has been unâ€" equally distributed, our aggregate working force has been, and still is, vastly below our minimum national requirements. With milâ€" lions of acres of the world‘s richest agricultural lands lying idle and undeveloped, and the world clamonring for food, it is paradoxical to harâ€" bour an unemployment problem. Widespread unemployment under such conditions is prima facie evidence of bankrupt statesmanship in so far as sufficient intelligence and energy has not been focussed on the solution of a problem which obviously lends itself to correction by well known and proven methods.

The changing of the percentage which the property owner is to pay from 75 per cent to 100 per cent relieves the town of 25 per cent of the cost previously borne by the municipality PAGE TWO The question of paving the Bridgeport road has been under consideration for the past year or two. The temporary policy of repairing the road from year to year has required the exâ€" penditure of a material amount with rfio perâ€" marent results to show. With the paving of the road, however, the expenditures for upkeep will be lessened and an excellent highway proâ€" vided for those utilizing it. With the compleâ€" tion of the pavement, all four approaches to Waterloo, on the south, the north, the east and the west, will be paved highways.

The Waterloo council, at its April session, took initial steps towards motorizing the fire department of the town and will expend the sum of $6,500 on the purchase of a motor truck. The action of the council was prompted by the fact that the protection afforded, in view of the expenditure this year of $9,800 on the department, was inadequate. Some of the preâ€" sent equipment is in need of repairs while one of the teams is getting too old and will shortly have to be replaced, A motor truck will also save putting the waterâ€"system pipes under too heavy a strain in case of a fire as water can be pumped from a creek with the truck. . Undoubtedly the new equipment will add materially to the efficiency of the service which the department will be able to render. Reachâ€" ing a fire in the shortest possible time is a very essential clement in successfully fighting it and a prompt response may easily result in preventing a serious loss. The size and imâ€" portance of the town warrant the installation of fire fighting equipment which will enable the fire department to fight any fires which may occur promptly and effectively. The paving of the Bridgeport Road this year and the passing of a byâ€"law providing for a one hundred per cent assessment against properties on streets where permanent paveâ€" ments are laid instead seventyâ€"five per cent, the percentage in effect for some yé‘ars, were among the important matters decided upon by the Waterloo council at its April session. With the motorizing of the department it is estimated that from three to ten minutes will be saved in the quicker response it will be possible to make to a call. It is also stated that today over 80 per cent of the fires are put out or are gotten under control by the use of chemicals. With a motor equipment it will be possible to make quicker use of them on account of earlier arrival at a fire. Another advanâ€" tage of motor equipment is the elimination of the odor occasioned by the horse stable in the hall to which objection has been taken by members of the force who have their sleeping quarters there. Waterloo Chronicle MOTORIZING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT | COUNCIL MAKES IMPORTANT DECISIONS CANADA‘S KEY PROBLEM In detailing thefts of poultry in vai ious | parts of the province, Hon. Mr. Martin, Minâ€"‘ ister of Agriculture, stated that in the vicim'tyf of Kemptville alone there had hbeen twentyâ€"| seven individna) cases of thieving. 700 birds‘ valued at between $1500 and $1800 had been | stolen and in only five cases were the thioves} apprehended. _A delegation recently visited . Ottawa with a view to some special application of the criminal code to the situation which cerâ€" ; tainly calls for special attention. | For instance, he stated that while the capital invested in agriculture had increased by 320 per cent, agricultural production by 300 per cent and the acreage of crops by 188 per cent during that time, the capital in manufacâ€" turing had increased by 356 per cent while the export of manufactured articles had advanced by 2720 per cent. e declared that these results were due to the "increasing efficiency 8f the Canadian people and of our manufacturing methods." He declared that these figures indicated that durâ€" ing these twentyâ€"five years Canada had changed from a country purely agricultural in export into one in which manufacturing is equally important.

It was announced by the Minâ€" ‘ster of Mines, Mr. McCrea, in telling of the developments of zinc, copper and lead deposits in the Sudbury basin, that the government aimâ€" ed at the establishment of a customs smelter and refinery where the small miner, the man without great capital or great ore holdings might ship his ore, obtain payment and turn the money back into further development of his holdings. He also made the important anâ€" nouncement that when the British Empire Mining Federation holds its meeting in the province this summer the Ontario Government will take the visiting mining men on an extend ea tour of the North country, showing and exâ€" plaining the mineral wealth of that land. Three to five special trains will be employed. The government is properly giving encourâ€" agement to Northern Ontario by assisting in the development of its vast resources which will add to the general prosperity of the Proâ€" vince and the Dominion. â€" If the reputation®of Canada in hard wheat is to be maintained, Western farmers must pay more attention to the quality of their wheat, declares Major Strange, President of the Canaâ€" dian Seed Growers‘ Association, and himself a former international wheat champion, in a warning recently issued. Many new wheats have been appearing on the market and growâ€" ers, in his opinion, have been changing to them without sufficient knowledge of their milling qualities. . agricultural reputation of the country gener ally. The extension of the. Timiskaming and Noithern Ontario Railway north to James Bay, a considerable part of which, it has been anâ€" noounced by ['l'er’\ier Ferguson, will be underâ€" taken this year, indicates the importance atâ€" tached to opening up this territory. In the Léegislature the Premier said that "we may not build all the way to James Bay this year but a considerable portion can be built." The deâ€" velopment of the North country is being given increasing attention, its ag‘ricultm‘al\and minâ€" ing possibilities, in the opinion of those who ‘"There is only one safe rule in deciding on a different variety than Marquis," he states, "and that is if possible to use a registered variety. All registered varieties have been subâ€" jected to rigorous and careful tests, in many different places and over a series of years, and their milling value should be high; otherwise they would not be registered." have closely investigated the territory in @quesâ€" tion, warranting more extensive opening up of the area. While strongly advising growers to stick to Marquis wherever possible, Major Strange admits that the West is undoubtedly wa‘ting for a new wheat which should be at least as high in milling value as Marquis, as high or higher yielding, and earlier. No such wheats are at present being offered and any that are being developed are still in the experimental stages. The careful selection of seed is obviously in the interest of the wheat grower and the WHEAT REPUTATION IN BALANCE | OPENING UP NORTHERN ONTARIO ON EVE OF PROSPEROUS ERA to stick Strange wa‘ting least as Hon.
