Canadians’ Shortcomings

Dear Sir:—A few weeks, you
had an article on Floridan moca-
sins; malaria and booms. I would
like. to reply to this, if I may, |.
through your columns, as one of
the foreign-born citizens of Can-
ada. It seems to me there is a
considerable amount of ‘jealousy
shown up here because the Amer-
ican is the ton-class artist at the
booming of white sand in Florida
South. It takes just the same
time to make a farm out of white
gand as it uoes to'make jackpine
gravel pits bear apples. a

Now, I wish. to ask your read-
ers a question, . ‘Who are the
Native Sons: of Canada and what|
are they aiming at? Suppose.we
foreign-born Canadians start a
society . called the ‘'Natlonalized
Sons of Canada.”’ how long do
you think it would take to ditch
the Sons of Canada? -

May-I suggest to the Natives a

Farm Census Figures

The census returns for the year
1921, which are now published
in book form give some rather
interesting details of the farming
operations in the Skeena district.
The rural*population at that time
was given as 22,541, of which
451 occupied farms and 419 own-
ed them, leaving only, 21 who
