This prompts the Toronto Star to ask some pertinent questions. One of these is why a young Canadian farmer should wish to go to Nebraska at all, as the best market on the continent for skill, and industry and experience in farming is in the Canadian Northwest, It points out that a young farmer can strike out into districts there where men have not as yet, skimmed the cream off every- thing, Again it asks why such a young man should subject himself to the in- dignity of being "turned bank" at Detroit, when by reading the despatches n the newspapers on the same day that he suffered his affront he would have earned that hundreds of Nebraskan armors are trekking across the border o settle on Canadian wheat lands? Had e read the newspapers he would have een informed . that by going to the anadian Northwest he would have een in the van instead of at the tail of he procession. Putting the matter in nether way The Star oonolnees: "The; new provinces of Canada and e as yet unorganized distrlot not only ffer virgin lands to those who have the i11 to work them, but these new pro - noes need men to think and plan and ad in the building up of sooiai organ- ations.
