While it is yet each of small carrots and small beets, too early to state definitely, it is ex- pected the deposits will prove to be comparable both in extent and quality with those of Wyoming, Utah, Mon- tana and Idaho, these being far greater than in any other country. Supplies of phosphate at a low price have a very important bearing upon the agricultural industry of a nation. Western Canada is naturally a farming country, but is far removed from the hitherto discovered deposits of phosphate in Canada, which are confined to the Ottawa district. Great deposits of phosphate occur in Mon- tana, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming in the United States, • but these again , are situated a long distance from the Prairie Provinces; again, it is doubt- fulewhether supplies from the United States could always be assured, for, at a Conference of the Governor§ in 1908, the wisdom of permitting the exportation of so essential a quasi - public commodity was questioned. While very little fertilizer is now being used in Western Canada there is no doubt that the land would give an increased yield by its use; soil fer- tility would be maintained instead of being exhausted, which will be the ultimate result if the present prac- tice is followed indefinitely. The fol- lowing example illustrates the amount of high grade phosphate rock which it would be necessary to add to the land annually as fertilizer to replace the phosphoric acid removed from the 'soil by the crops in the three Prairie Provinces. • In 1918 there were 16,726,409 acres under cultivation in these provinces, and the depletion per acre annually is equivalent to the phosphoric acid con- tained in 60 pounds of high-grade phosphate rock. At this rate, 501,800 tons Of high-grade phosphate rock would be required each year simply to offset the depletion of the land al- ready Under cultivation in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta —W J.
