Hon. Martin Burrell Explains How
Government Will Help
Agriculture
Ottawa , Jan, 25.- Eloquent with
literary sympathy for the man in
the lonely furrow, drudging away
in his innocence and ignorance of
the methods of intensified farming
such as have been developed in
Europe and in the agricultural col-
leges, 'Eton. Martin Burrell, Minist-
er of Agriculture, introduced his
bill in the House Friday, to' aid
th
agricultural instruction in e Pro-
vinces. The proposal IS not to give
$10,000,000 at once, as was thought
at first in some quarters. The pro-
ject sifts down to a grant of some
$700,000 a year, of which Ontario at
the start is to get $195,733, with an
annual increase of $35,147, the max-
imum to be reached at $336,319.
, Not a man in Canada could quar-
rel with the elevated sentiments of
sympathy and admiration for the
toiling farmer as expressed so beau
tifnlly by the Minister of Agricul-
ture. But, as the Hon Frank Oliver
pointed out, it would have been so
much better if the farmer had been
given greater opportunities to im-
prove his own business "of and by
himself' The farmers of the West
are not suffering just yet with the
non -productivity of their lands.
What they want are markets for
the wheat that the land produces
already.

Reclaiming Depleted Soil.
No advance in farming methods
had been male until the middle of
the last century, when Germany
had begun the regeneration of their
country. The Minister ran over
the statistics showing what had
been accomplished by' Ireland, Den,.
mark and Belgium, where soils had
been depleted, but made to pro-
duce again 100 fold.
"The production of Belgium in-
