Serious economic effects of

the great war will undoubtedly be

: felt in Canada, as elsewhere, but we need have no fear that all the _@onsequenees will be injurious to the Dominion, .

The Made-in-

Canada campaign, which is gaining great. strength, is: -already” hav- <ing.its effect in stimulating the consumption of the products of our ~!town country, while the probabili

the encouragement of agriculture—the Baek tothe Land campaign.

- ‘The Miner has consistently advocated the adoption of some adequate |. - system of financially aiding farmers, and is-glad to note that the

. question igs now receiving widespread attention. .

A body which is leading in the movement is the Port Arthur}. board of trade, which: has submitted to the Hazelton board the

following resolution, similar to those passed by many public bodies : | EL 4 of lot 715 and the W. 3 of the E 3

“Resolved, that, whereas the Dominion of Canada is. almost ~. the size of Europe, having over 2,386,000,000 -acres, of which at

least 370,000,000 acres are suitable for cultivation:

And whereas in 1911 only 32,404.110 acres were under field

crop, but produced a crop worth

And whereas it is very essential that the remaining 90 per cent

-of our agricultural lands should be developed as expeditiously as possible, to furnish remunerative work for our unemployed : an in- creased market for our industries: greater traffic for our exténsive lines of tran&portation : food stuffs for Great Britain: comfortable homes for the brave Belgians, other allies, and- British ‘people who |:
