Tract in irrigation. 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.
