Canada is no place for the farmer, according to Mr. T. D. Bathgate, who has just returned to Dunedin after spending 7i years trying to wring a living out of that stem land- His experiences (states the Otago Times interviewer) have filled him with a desire to warn any mad New Zealander, who thinks of going to Canada, of the fate that lies in store for him, and he is more than ever convinced that "there's no place like home." Mr. Bathgate was attracted to Canada by the prospect of cheap land, at £5 an acre, and so found himself farming in South Saskatchewan, his nearest town being Goodwater, some miles north of North Dakota. He claims to have been over Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta, however, and says that his remarks apply to most of the three provinces, which he describes as very patchy country. "In seven years," he'said, "I had only one crop that paid expenses Two were hailed out, and this year the grasshoppers ate me out. You' may be frozen out, hailed out, blown out', or ruined for want of water. Canada is no place for the farmer."
