Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations DAILY RDTTION Monday, July 15, 1929 GETTING AWAY FROM SOUTHERN RIBBON Until recently Canada, consisted of a ribbon of country along the northern edge of the international boundary. Be-yond that Mttle was known and as the population was small little was heard from it. Quebec was the first province to push northward in search of virgin agricultural lands. Ontario followed, mostly for minerals and timber. Then came the other provinces until today the north sections of the country promise to outstrip in natural resources and development the older sections. British Columbia, one of the last to be heard from, is now steadily coming into the public eye. The cities of the south draw very largely from the wealth of the north. It is their market. But the cities of the south are not so keen in seeing the money collected in the north spent there. And that is where we take issue. We need a highway to give access to g16,?11-, If we get that we shall feel that we are not lit TAKING FIRST STEP We are glad to have the announcement that the Government is taking the second step toward the building of the highway. First the department commenced a route survey front Gallowav Rapids and have made some progress Now there is an airplane coming to survey the route through the mountains. While we have no hope that any better route than the Skeena wi'l be found, it will be satisfaction to have definite information in regard to it. In anv case the survev wan ruwWl Tf mai gins early next year we shall have to be satisfied. When we see contracts let for roads fading north in Omineca and m Prince George districts and nothing being done here we feel that we are not being well imed MEMBERS OF ROYAL GRAIN INQUIRY COMMISSION Above are four members of the Saskatchewan Royal Grain Inquiry Commission, which is investigating Canadian grain markets from Port Arthur to Vancouver, and which will later visit the British and Eurnean markets.

RAINS BETTER CROP PROSPECT Precipitation Not General on Prairies But Many Sections Improved WINNIPEG, July 15 .--Rains, reported from many sections of the west durinir the week, Jinvo tended to Improve crop conditions! In areas fortunately affected, and to revive hopes for many crops which had previously been des-pared of. It is still a question, however, as to whether permanent relief has been afforded, since the majority of rains do not appear to have penetrated suffficiently to adequately provide for the requirements of an already acute condition. Accord. , ing to the eleventh weekly crop I report of the Canadian National ' Railways, Northern Manitoba, particularly in Swan River Val ley, gives promise of returning a fair crop. Rye is good and recent rains on the Togo and Preecevllle subdivisions appear to have made an average crop a possibility in those sections. Some hail damage Is reported irom restricted areas at Kenville and Langruth. Central and Southern Manitoba, while receiving I further scattered rains,, have suffered too, hot weather arid strong winds, and crops are undoubtedly offering, epecially where no rain fell. ' Rains have also effected some improvement In Saskatchewan, though they have not been sufficiently widespread to be of much account. Northern areas in cluding the Yorkton. Asquith.i Dodsland and Porter subdivisions! report prospects fair for an dl-' most average crop. Tlsdale, Mel-! fort. Prince Albert and adjacent territories also continue to report tlsfactory conditions with wheat from 25 to 40 per cent headed and plenty of moisture, For the time being warm weather Is needed to Insure 'growth which1 Is from ten days to two weeks late. Severe hall damage on July 10 is reported from, small areas I at Denholm on the Ingham sub-l divisions. Central and Southern Saskatchewan are still urgently in need, of rain. Gravelbourg re-1 ports stubble crops a failure, i with farmers turning in their stock or ploughing down. Course tnv are forwuM nd dried ur. Rlverhurst and Glenboro subs. In the muth renort 'noreasfnir drought damage over last week. Mi'rh of the rron In Snnttiom and Central Alberta apoeara to! be damaged beyond repair. Earlyi sown fields are largely a failure,' and Inte crops are progressing to the rain received. Some rains oc-' curred during the week which' have naturally Improved local! areas, but half cron estlmnfo' continue .In the majority. As In many sections of the other provinces, a few good fields may be jfound, but their frequency In Alberta leaves much to be desir ed. DR. GRANT HERE Itev, Dr. H. R.
