Reeve. l informed on good authority that still more plowing will be done in the spring, thus materially increasing the percentage. While the great western wheat lands of Canada are rejoicing in the fact that 'last season’s crops were a record, there is every indication that, like its immediate predecessor, it can only hold the record until next har- vest. Already preparations for next season's crops‘are well in hand, and it may safely be predicted that the crop area throughout the west next leason will be a substintial in- crease on previous records. Figures estimating the acreage in Manitoba have been prepared by Mr. John Osborne, General Superintendent of the Western Division of the Canadian Pacific, who places the total area of plowing at 867,070 acres, an increase of 250,300 acres, or 40 per cent. over that of last year.‘ The total area now ready for the spring crop is 1,492,088 acres, an increase over last spring of 480,630 acres, or nearly 50 per cent, and Mr. Osborne has been The president of the Canadian Press Association who accompanied the members on their transcontinental trip last fall, thus expresses an opin- ion as an impartial observer of the situation in the west: “Other lands are overflowing with their human products, and it is a mere matter of time when the wave of settlement shall sweep over this great west. The test of wisdom among Canadian statesmen is the acceleration of that settlement by a sturdy intelligent race, in whose hands free institutions and the power that will follow great numbers will be safe. About the wisdom ofthe importation of Donia [whom and Golicians there is much difference 'of opinion in the west as well as in the east, and the matter resolves itself after all to one of in- dividual Opinion. Isaw or learned nothing to alter my previously ex- pressed views that Canada need have no forebodings on account of these newcomers, so long as they are lettled in rural communities and do not gather to form indigestible and troublesome foreign populations in great cities like the nondescript portions of some large American cities."
