Hon, James Gardiner, premier- of
Saskatchewan, in a forward declares
for "]co-operation -of the political, fin
ancial and spiritual powers, to main
tain people in the south-western sec
tion of 'Saskatchewan-.” This, he
says, "will result in untold good to
Canada through the establishment of
half a million people in prosperous1,
contented, happy, Christian homes.
Wheat has brought more new
money into Dana da during the past
30 years than any other commodity.
Saskatchewan has (produced more of
^tliat wheat than the other eight pro
vinces combined, now suffering from
severe drouth, alone has produced
twice as much wheat over any 20-
year period as all the rest of the
province. If kept there, the inlrabi- ,
tants will produce the same results
in the next 20 years.. The national
question is- not how to- get them out
of there but how to keep them there
if not on the lands now occupied, on
better lands in the same part of the
province,” the premier asserts.
"In 192'2 that portion of Saskat
chewan, which today is drouth-
stricken, produced 15 0,010(0,0'0'0
bushels of wheat; in 1928 the yield
was- 165,000,000 bushels, which is
only 315,000,000 bushels below Can
ada’s entire export quota, fixed by
agreement among the wheat produc
ing countries at last year's world’s
