The report Concludes : "A careful sur- vey of Ute entice field demonstrates that agriculture, the correr-stone of national wealth and power is in a more prusper- oua condition at present in Canada than in any outer country of the world, while the yet unmeasured territory of rich virginal lands awaits settlement, ready to respond bounteously to the in- dustry and intelligence of ninny millions of willing hands.
