The Advantages of the West.
"Westetn Teacher." writing from
I?trgoia, Saskatchewan, contributes a
long letter to The Globe, in which he
contrasts life in the West with life in
the Eastern Provinces. balancing up
the advantages and disadvantages in
each. He is no tenderfoot, has been
long enough a resident in the West to
understand the conditions there, and
although he 'may take too gloomy a
view of the situation in the Prairie
Provinces, there is, no doubt, a goad
deal of truth in what he says. He con-
cludes his letter as follows :
"I may say here that I believe, were
the average farmer in Qntarie to study
reports and elrrillers from the On-
tario Agricultural College, and try to
improve hie own fares along the lines
suggested by those who have studied
those particular conditions, that his
yield M grain would be so satisfactory
that any desire he might have to
come West would veniah. Who then',
I should come West? Or, should any-
one? Certainly. it is the natural
place for the overflow population from
saatern Canada or the northern States.
