growers of the prairies for seeking help in a falr way to save their lu-

creaslngly large harvests. Quite naturally our great railways com- pete for the carriage of the thou- sands ol’ laborers whose migration affords profitable passenger traffic returns.

We are told that the railways are better prepared this year than ever before to carry the nlusclc

and brawn of the East to the West- ern harvest fields. There are llo\v-

over some matters which younl: men froln tllls Province and from the Marltlmes generally might profitably ponder over before yield- ing to the temptation of n coul- pilrnlilvely cheap excursion west- ward. As we have suld many who have gone in past yeurs have not returned. It may be added that lllllny of those who lllll return came hack not much richer in pocket. llzlrvest excursions have done mllch to swell the exodus which bus been steadily depopulatlng our fair Province.

As a rule merely re- moving people permanently frolll one province to another does little to build up the Dominion and adds

In no way to its too scanty popllln- tlon. Some lessons lllny be Icurncll

from past experiences also. Last your there was u great Ilurvest lll the Northwest and a loud demand was made for lens o-f thousands oi‘

This will mcun less work and lfvthc rush of inbor- ers westwards approaches thnt- ol‘ ,lnat your the supply may fur ex- ‘ceed the demand. The harvest will begin inter than usual and because pl‘ the short growth of straw the work of threshing will be much shortened‘ These are points to be considered by those who may con- template golng away with the next harvest excursion.
