Chance for Interior Farming

A ne HTENING outlook for farming in central
,Coas a result of new industrial activity in the

interior ad on the coast is seen by the Nechako

Chronicle.

“From the time of the first pioneer the people
of this part of Uhe country have had to rely on big
lusiness interests to the south and east for every-
thing they hought or sold, due to lack of local mar-
Lets,” the paper observes, “Now, however, the over-

all situation is changing rapidly. The central inter-
ioe portion of B.C. is developing industrially and with
this development payrolls are being established and
lat ue number of persons from all over Canada are
coring in to establish a home market for all kinds of
provisions und commodities. In fuct, already the sit-
uation is such this area is capable of producing only
a fraction of volume of consumption.”

The Chronicle sees a big potential market for
: foodstuffs at Kitimat where the consumption is des-
"<cyibed as “staggering.” It continues: “In addition,
“there will be outlets resulting from the normal popu-
lation increase which is inevitable in all commmuni-
ties between the cities of Prince George and Prince
upert.”

But what interests the paper in particular is the
announcement of the Frobisher development for the
Nass River,

“ft means more payrolls, housing, new businesses

«nd hundreds of additional new residents in central

f°. and all of these people will have to be supplied
wth foodstuffs from some part of the country,” it
<dys. “It isa big undertaking but properly organized
ofix. prezent bushland will disappear and give way to
cultivated lands producing all of the many hardy
varieties of vegetables for which there is a ready
nmaTket, in addition to beef, poultry, butter and dairy
nreducts of all kinds. Once organized, an active
pramotional campaign to tell farmers and ranchers
in other narts of the continent of the potentials of the
area W ould swell our population many fold.”

+* The Chronicle editorial is a pertinent one. At
the-same time it must be recognized that farmers of
the: central interior have certain probleins to aver-
come. . The seasonal lag behind their southerp com-
peaitors and the more difficult soil and climatic con-
ition: they must contend with are points which
sometimes are not taken into account when they are
cFiticized for failing to show more initiative,

-¢ But there is no doubt that the farming possibili-
tits of the interior are far from being realtzed and
that the growing market demands can he met
through modern organized methods of production,
veatling and marketing, For the good of this whole
«ection of B.C., it is hoped the opportunity will not
he Lost.

In this country.

The boon runs to 660 paces,
and on almost every page there
is evidence of great importance.
For Instance, we get a pretty
clear answer to the riddle why

in Britain--although Britain has
more than three times our popu-
lation. In Britain the strongest

Here a common Idea Is, let's try
anything once.

We also get the answer to Van-
couver'’s horrible distinction of
being--not only the worst drug-

addict city in Canada but actu-’

ally the worst in the whole west-
crn world.

The answer Js that drug addic-
tion is a terrible mental and
moral disease. But it fs also a

“The Committee could not help

thap B.C. still lagks a law, such
