FOR WESTERN CANADA WHEATF1ELDS
Economic Depression in Old Country I:hives-Skilled, Crafts-
men to Harv"est Fields—Steamship Companies• Have
Busiest Fortnight in Their History.
A despatch from London says :—
'be rush of British harvesters tol
Canada, which has given the steam-
ship companies the busiest 'fortiiight
, aver experienced, will end on•Saturday
hen ever 7,000 men will be on their
Way to the wheat fields. Every avail-
able berth has been booked and if the
' demand were twice as great it could
be•filled. Eighteen hundred men have
gone from Glasgat-s and 1,000 more
will go before Saturday. Eight Can-
adian Pacific boats left during ahe
present fortnight with all available
space filled. The Ausonia, Caronia
and Canada of the White Star Line
are leaving fully loaded, while the
Pittsburgand Scythia are almost
booked up.
A. striking feature of this emigra-
tion and one typical of the ecoisofnic
depression here is theaexodus of skill-
ed craftsmen. (Sne hundred and fifty
men who left Manchester included
university students, eagineere, angSne
ease rivers cabifon salesmen . electricians
and clerks. They said conditions in
England were throttling them and
rather than stay they preferred to
work in the wheat fields. `
There is no do-ubt that Canada
could secure in Britain today emi-
grants of a higher class and more of
them than has ever been possible be-
fore. Crops are as plentiful here as
they are in Canada, but with the world
prices too low almost for the Canadian•
farmer; the British grain grower ex-
pects to sell his wheat at a loss. The
industrial outlook for the coming win-
ter is very gloomy arid altogether con-
ditions are aueh as to make even an
ambitious scheme to settle a quarter
million of Highlanders in Canada,
which has been propounded on the re-
turn from the Do -minion by Angus
Robertson, of ,Glasgow, not so fantas-
tic as might seem. Not all emigration
to Canada these days is composed of
amateur harvesters. A party of teach-
ers sailed last week from Liverpool,
wJfln-saft' -picked emigrants left
Malta for the Dominion.

H.R.H. TO HAVE .
HOLIDAY ON RANCH
Pince' i Visit to Canada Plari.
ned That He May Have
Opportunity for Com-
plete Rest.
• A despatch from London says
Now that the Prince a Wales'has de-
finitely_ decided to go to Canada in
September, the hope is being semi-
officially expressed that Canadians
will give him every opportunity to
take that complete rest for Which pur-
pose bis visit was planned. It is no
secret in London that the Prince's
strenuous round of duties and his de-
votion to sport have told on him to a
point which gives rise to an affec-
tionate, if ill-informed, anxiety on the
part of his admirers—the great Brit-
ish public.
It was thought that a purely private
Visit to his ranch in Canada -would
affoid more opportunity for a com-
plete change and rest than his usual
Autumn holiday in Scotland. It is
announced that the Prince of Wales
will leave England for Canada early
in September and returnat the end
/of October.

The Agricultural Life of Canada
For tate year 1922 the total agri-
cultural revenue of Cariadaaaras $1,-
420,170,000 as compared with $1,403,-
686,000 in 1921, $1,986,082,000 in 1920,
$2,109,291,000 in 1919 and $1,881,-
718,000 in 1918; The total for 19a2
allows a net increase of $16,484,000
1% per cent. as compared, with
921, and a decrease of $565,912,006
Or 28.5 per cent. as compared with
920. Whilst field crops In the past
year showed an increase of $80,661,-
900, this was largely offset by a fur-
ther decline in livestock values, the
production for the year showing a de-
cline of $20,876,000 as• compared with
$21, which in -Lain exhibited a ma-
terial decline from 1920.
' The entire agricultural revenue of
• 922, amounting to $1,420,170,000, is
ade • up as folloivs: Field crops,
1'62,526,000; farm animals, $77,548,-
00; wool, $3,180,000; dairy products,
250,618,000; fruits and vegetables,
65,855,000; poultry and eggs, $58,-
• 15,000; fur farming, $1,504,000;
aple products, $5,576,000; -tobacco,
$4,648,000.
In agricultural revenue the Pro-
•aince of Ontario maintains a fairly
'cle lead, accounting or $435 231f 000
the total. A Western province
gaskp.tchewan, has asaumed second
Place with $322 457 000. followed by
Quebec with $271,764,000. • Alberta
4nd Manitoba both come over the hun-
dred million dollar mark with $125,-
582,000 for the former and $120,480,-
000 for the latter. Nava Scotia ac-
counted for $45,626,900; British Col-
umbia for $43,514,000; New Bruns-
wick for $39,350,000; and Prince, Ed -
Ward Island for $16,146,000.

katchewan surpassing it in value of
field crops, Quebec in maple produets,
and Prince Edward Island in afur

1,921 increases were recorded in field

ducts and tobacco, an decreases in
the value of far na aninials and fruits
and vegetables only, The increase in
the total agricultural tevenue of the,
Dominion lastyearis effected entirely
by Increases -secured by the three
Prairie provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katehewan and Alberta.
It is interesting to glance back to
see the manner in which most of the
items of agricultural revenue in Can-
ada have increaied in recent years.
Comparing last year's -figures with
those of 1915, for instance, which was
an outstanding agricultural year for,
Canada, some startling developments
are noted. The most remarkable is in
that of dairy. products, the value of
which has grown from $146,005,000
to $250,618,000 in the seven-year
period. The value of poultry and
eggs similarly has increased from
$35,000,000 to $58,815,000 and thet of
:fruit and vegetables from $35,000,000
to $55,855,000 in the same period. The
value of field crops, whilst showing a
decline from the years 1918-19-20 and
21, nevertheless shows an increase of
$137,155,000 when compared with the
Value in 1915.
GROSS AGRICULTURAL 'WEALTH.
• The gross agricultural wealth of
Canada for 1922 is estimated at $6,-
.774,461,000, as compared with $6,831,-
022 000 in 1921, the net decrease of
$56,561,000 being due chiefly to the
fall in the value of farm livestock.
This estimated value is made up of
the following items: Lands, $3,196,-
876,000; buildings, $1,085,712,000;
implements, $391,660,000; livestock,
$681,887,000; poultry, $41,481,000;
animals onafur farms, $6,675,000; and
agricultural production, $1,420,170,000.
In an analysis of the items of this
wealth the remarkable fact is disclosed
that Saskatchewan farm lands are in
the aggregate the •most valeable in
Canada, surpassing those of Ontario
by more »than a hundred rreillioe dol-
lars. Ontario, 'however, leatts in the
value of building, Saskatchewan tak-
ing the lead again in • implements.
Ontario leads in livestock ancl Poultry;
Prince' Edward Island in far -farming
animals; and Ontario in agricultural
production.
By provinces the total agricultural
wealth is as follows: Ontario, .$1,S78,-
423,000; Saskatchewan, $1,555,652,-
000; Quebec, $1,233,429,000. Alberta

are placing rush orders for binder
twine; a third more will be consumed
than under normal conditions. The
shortage of farm help is also being
acutely felt by farmers.
Regina, Sask.—The rapid increase
in the export butter trade of Saskat-
chewan dazing the past year or two,
has been the outstanding feature of
the Provincial dairy industry,. Recent-
ly the Saskatchewan Co-operative
Creameries made a shipment of 25,000
lbs. of butter to China.
Edmonton, Alta.—Cattle In North
Alberta's livestock herds now number
more than 2,000,000. This industry
and also the swine industry have in-
creased aniazingly in the no taern
part of the province in the last 'few
years.
Victoria, B.C.—Canned fish exports
from here for the first six months of
1923 stood at 348,481 cases. The
heaviest exports were to the United
Kingdom, amounting to 216,540 cases.
Australia took 79,684 cases, or 25,000
cases more than -last year. The great-
est increase in imports of Canadian
canned salmon by any one country this
year has been to the United States.
For the first six months of this year,
the United States took 22,076 cases,
as against 757 cases last year.
Vancouver, B.C.—One of the three
outfits of adventurers which left here
a few weeks ago to raid the rookeries
of the sea lions at the south end of
Queen Charlotte Islands has returned
with a pack of -two thousand skins of
Prince Edward Island weather condi-
tions continue favorable, and all crops
look well. Hay is an abundant crop.
Apples show prospectof a large
yield. In New Brunswick crops gen-
erally will be below average otseing to
drought, but recent rains in some
parts of the province have been bene-
ficial. Potatoes show a slight im-
provement, but crop will be light.
St. John, N.B.—More than 200 tour-
ists arrived in St. John on one day re-
cently from the United States, and the
number of arrivals is expected to in-
crease daily. Almost all the visitors
are on their way to summer resorts in
-ate Maritime provinces.
Quebec, Que.—A fair crop of grain
is -expected in thisprovince. Growth
is a little backward. Corn is improv-
ing and an average crop is expected.
Hay in most districts is above aver-
age. Roots have good appearance and
general average crop is looked for.
Small fruit in most districts is plenti-
ful; with apples a little below average.
Pasture is generally good.
Cobalt, Ont.—For almost two de-
cades the major portion of the world's
-supply of cobalt has been derived from
the silver -cobalt -nickel arsenides of
the Cobalt district, according to figur-
es compiled by the Dominion Bureau
•of Statistics. The cobalt production
afegtanada -in1-922 was 569,960 pounds,
which at $3.25 a pound would be
worth $1,852,370.
Winnipeg, Man.—Business interests
all over this prairies haVe centred at-
tention of the growing crops pros-
pects of transporting and probable
prices. Many grain elevators are be-
ing »rushed to completion, largely in-
creasing the demand for dimensional
timber. Great activity ie prevalent in
retail lines, especially men's clothing,

hides as the adults are usually spoiled
by old scars of - wounds received an

ground.
FIRST PARLIAMENT OF
IRELAND DISSOLVED
Dublin Press Connfients in
Eulogistic Terms on Work
of Free State House.
• A despatch from Dublin says:—
The curtain has rung down on the
first Parliament of the Irish Free
State, and the electors are now plung-
ed in the midst of a bewildering mass
orcandidates, representing many par-
ties and interests.
The first Parliament goes out amid
a most consoling chorus of eulogium
from the Dublin press. The first ref-
erences to this great event were made
Thursday night at a banquet in the
Mansion House by President Cos-
grave, who paid tribute to his col-
leagues aid said there might have
been shortcomings in the Parliament,
but he had never found a more gen-
erous aasembly or one in which there
was so much evidence of genuine
criticism and lively effort to do useful,
appreciative work for the nation.
In no assembly, he added, were
greater sacrifices made than in the
Executive Council of the Irish Free
State.
Joseph Devlin, another guest, in a
speech full of hope, said there was no
use trying to settle differences by
physical force. The tribunal of reason,
he said, must be the final court of
appeal.
The Irish Times says the Govern-
ment has good cause to be satisfied
with its record, having to its credit
one great achievement entitling it to
a renewal of national confidence,
making the Free State safe for Irish
democracy. The paper, points out
that the most notesale work of the
Parliament was the adoption» of the
TilZ "VAX PICAPAg
V. 'akar,
CHICAGO 111113/30
Free State Cdristitution and the pass-
ing of a huge program of necessary
laws, which could not have been, done
had not the majority of the legislators
been inured to long suffering, and had
not President Cosgrave and the chief
Ministers shown high qualities of in-
dustry, fairness and tact.
The Irish Independent, remarkiag
that the Free State Parliament was
not free from faults or immune from
adverse criticism, pays tribute to its
good' work, and says: "The faithful
Deputies, who risked their lives inter-
preting the people's will, did not spare
themselves in efforts to secure the
full fruits of the treaty." It adds that
their record' will stand for all time,
a tribute to their zeal and to the cour-
age of theaVlinisters and departments.
Like The Irish Times, it makes a
plea for a better representation of in-
dustry and commerce in the next Par-
liament.

demonstrate whether their peoples
were ready for the great adventure
as manifestly China as not, nor Rus-

are monarchies or Oligarchies.
The essential qualifications on the
part of any people for democracy
4are—
Flirst, at least normal mentality.
Subnormal individuals are utterly in-
capable of government. They need a
benevolent autocrat to guide and gov-
ern them.
Second, a high standard of educa-
tion, the higher the better. Illiterates
cannot .understand the problems ,of•
government. It is difficult enough for
non -illiterates.
Third, but xnere literacy' as -usually
iaterpreted falls far short ofabaing
sufficient. Rulers of a nation (and
such are all electors in a- democracy)
mast be educated. They should all
have at least'high schoo1 training in
history, literature, and all the com-
mon subjects on a school curriculum
and also a knowledge of the elements
of economics.
Fourth, character, conviction, con-
science, a clear knowledge of eight
and wrong, and aedesire to chooSe.the
right and reject the wrong, a sense of
justice and a desire to see justice
done and therefore a disposition to "do
unto others 'as each woulc1 that men
should do unto him'-
Judged by these standards what
seems the outlook for democracy in
Canada? The world knows.the shock
with which the United States people
learned of the large, „percentage, of
their draftees who. did riot 'pass:the
literacy 'test. Would-, the percentage
be lawer in Canada? Probably not.
One provinces reports, 17 per cerrt. of
its children �f. School age itbain school.
Some other provinces will, not be far
in advance of the one referred to.
Compulsory school attendance is laxly
enforced in very many colninunities.
Psychiatrists tell us about two per
cent. of the people are mentally sub-
normal. Probably one-third of these
are 21 years of age or over. It is
startling to conteinplate 60,000 Can-
adian electors utterly incapable of ex-
ercising the franchise. And they are
multiplying twice as rapidly as nor-
mal folk. Again it is a significant
fact that only ten per cent. of our
school children are taking high school
courses, That means that, ninety out
of every hundred drop out of school
before or at the time of completing
public school studies. So that at best
only a small minority of our electors
are up to the educational standards
essential for sharing in the effective
operation of democratic government.
While by coinparison with others
our people may stand fairly high in
character; integrity, dependability,
honor, yet there is an alarmingly
large minority who, through drink,
gambling and other vices and through
dishonesty practiced in business are
far below the standard on the score
of moral character,
in the gross debt, but the net debt dur-
ing the same period went up by ap-
proximately $11,000,000. The reduc-
tion in the gross debt is explained
chiefly by decline in tae debt pay-
able in Canada. There was also a de-
cline in the feraporary loans during
the year, but there -were increases in
the note circulation and the naiscel-
laneous banking account of the Gov-
ernment The increase in the net
debt is explained by a decline in Gov-
ernment» investinents, generally ac-
companied by an increase in those in-
vestments which do not produce
revenue.
The revenue of the Dominion for
July was $32,759,524, showing an in-
crease of about $2,500,000 over the
month of June. » The current expendi-
tures for the month of July showed a
decline of well up to $9,000,000, stand-
ing at $18,356,720. The capital and
special expenditures stood at $907,085,
showing a decline of about $100,000.
Taking the four months of the fiscal
year, up to the end of July, there was
an increase of» about $11,000,000 in
the current revenue during the pres-
ent year, while there was a cut of
something over $4,000,000 in the cur-
rent expenditure. The revenue for
the four months in the present year
was $152,265,643, and the current ex-
penditure, $91,145,899.
The largest single source of revenue
during the month of July is found in
the sales tax and other excise taxes,
which produced $11,019,857, an in-
crease of about half a million over the
previous month. The customs duties,
which carne second, were responsible
for a revenue of $9,763,656, a decrease
of something over half a million, from
June. The excise duties on tobacco
and spirits brought in $3,432,620 dur-
ing July, or approximately the same
as the previous month. The revenue
from income tax was $8,871,022, near-
ly three times as much as in June, but
ahnost a million and a half less than
in July, 1922.
More motor tourists have travelled
through the Okanagan Valley this
year than in any previous summer.
All towns now have camping sites
which have attracted motorists from
all parts of the Northwest.
