(Those who have been loudest in. their. denunciation of the system, und who claimed that it was a waste of money, iuppurently passed their re- mirks on personal predujucies rather. than from a knowledge of the facts. The last three winters have done mich ti show the veal need for this branch, of government service. Bach of these winters there have been flood conmtitions and the erecks and rivers have been swept by torrents. The rush nf waters has bronght down hig qnautities of new gravel and silt and often. have swept away all the eggs spawned naturally by the salmon, In . other. places. the ‘spawning beds have been ¢overed feet deep with new de- posits, making it impossible for the eges to hatch out, or if hatching took pi ree, for the young fry to escape, This.:was the case at Lakelse last October, and when the breakdown of hatchery facilities made it necessary to plant the eggs in the creeks it was fonnd that conditions had been so bad that natural propognation would have been nil following the upheavel of the storm.. It would seem, therefore, thet the artificial work is a menns of en- suring o large run for the cannery op- erations, but at least they do make sure that the adult fish will keep com- ing to the river ench year and that the industry is not wiped out, .

That. term: has. been lar- soy, lost to. “the present: ‘generation but it, was used to. deseribe the condition und value of the horses, harness and earviuge, The pride of many citizens today is their car. although a large even own, saddle horses. On the farm the hoarse has net been kupevseded to the same extent as in : the cities, and during the years of low prices. muuniy on tractor and even auto- mohiles stayed in the shed, while the horse performed their tasks. In west- ern, Canada obsolete automobiles were converted to use as wagons wnd- bng- gies, In 1901 there were more than, & million “nd a half horses in Canada. Ww hich were iicreased to more that two and a half million in 1911. Ten years later, at the Census of°1921 there avere over three and » half million. ‘This increase in horse population was lar- gely for the purpose of working the ‘new. land bronght into production’ in the great: Canadian west. From 1921 to 1081 the number of horses on farms declined to less ‘than three million. Farmers bought tractors, automobiles and: trucks to perform many farm op- perationus and chores, Delivery work was done in the cities by means of kutos. horses was more than offset by the incvense in mechanienl vehicles, that there was no dearth of power. The rate of decrease of numbers of horses has been slowing up, and the ‘population at June 1, 1935, was ouly 1,000 less than in 1934, ‘The low enst of feed and relatively good prices for {horses have combined: to revive inter- est in horse production. Indications are numerous that horse numbers will be on the inerense again. The producers in the horse industry are widely seattered.
