Slock Canada has commandeered all her forces military, industrial and agri cultuial in a brave efi'jrt bo do her utmost to help win the war. Men aire going out from all walks of life to take places on the figrhting line. New hands must be trained to take up the work laid down. It means that those left behind must keep affairs as near normal as possible. They are doing this not only for the present day with its unusual demands, but are wisely looking forwaird to the after war days and the problems that must be met and solved in re- as similating Canada's ovorseas forces and in intelligently distributing the great influx of immigrants that will turn to Canada as a land of Promise when it is possible for hem to leave war-scarred, almost hopelessly de vastated Europe. The men who arc giving their best thought to the solution of this coming problem have come to the conclusion that a great portion of these people must go onto the land, must become farmers, must 'be dissuaded from set tling in cities and forming surpusage there. Lord Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific railway made the initial move when he announced that he would give 1,000 "ready-made ON.lRRIOATlOfS CANAL. farms" to veterans. Government heads railway officials, local associations arid public spirited individuals are working to prepare for the after-war stream of humanity. Dry farming is successful in all the western proviness and many a farmer has won a foitune thereby, but the magic of irrigation brings greater wealth with less effort and irrigation is the theme that occupies the atten tion of everyone interesed in the de velopment of western Canada. There are government projects, great rail way schemes, local association and individual pans for the digging ot precious water to every furrow of the most out-of-the way farm. The western Canada irrigation as sociation is one of the most active agents for the furthering of irriga tion farming. With Honorable W. R. Motherwell Saskatchewan's Minister of Agriculture as its active president assisted by experts and farmers it is aoing ine work uf iiituleulublu good. It is to hold its eleventh Anual Con vention Aug. 1-3 at Maple Creek, Sas katchewan. Anyone, be he farmer or would-be farmer, American or Can adian, is welcome to attned the meet ing or to appeal to the association for information at other times. A splen did program has been prepared, the speakers being men who are authorit ies on the subject. They will present, and discussions, open to all, will be in order. Not only do the farmers hear the subjects well treated from the ex pert standpoint but they may ask him to solve the personal problems each has encountered. Maple Creek, the scene of the com ing convention, is an exarnplo of what irrigation does for a community. In 1888 the Canadian Pacific came through and with it the first families of Maple Creek. These early settlers brought a few cattle that soon grew into mighty herds that roamed the un fonced prairies. Saskatchewan at that ti.ne was only a grazing country and it was not until 1905 that farming made headway. Simple irrigation schemes brought water from the Cypress Hills and soon prairie grasses were supplanted by fields of grain, and the herds were moved on to allow the reapers plenty of Toom. Today there are 190 irrigation schemes in operation, and the 1916 grain crop market at Maple Creek amounted to $2,5000,000. North Powder Auxiliary. . Chairman, Mr. L. B. Russell. Secretary, Mrs. C.
