CANADA’S FUTURE
HEIt SURPLUS WHEAT. “Many people think of Canada as a vast potential cornfield/’ says the Statist. “Between the ltccky Mountains on the west 'and the 140th. paral'lai! of longitude on the east there is a vast plain known as the Prairie Provinces, comprising between a quarter and one-third of the great Dominion of Canada. This region produces wheat in abundance,, and it is this enormous surplus over the needs of Canada itself which has given the impression that Canada is an almost unlimited source of supnly of wheat. The Canadian himself is under no such illusion. He knows that if the population of Canada grows to an extent comparable even with the thir.lv-pop-ulated, countries of Europe, the surplus of wheat available for export would decrease with extraordinary rapidity and might disappear altogether. The mountains- are impregnated with valuable minerals and Canada may ho described a,® potentially a, mining country upon a vast scale, and probably in time will! become >a great- industrial country. Her mining industiy might easily compete and outstrip her agricultural activities. ’’
