CANADA FORGING AHEAD.

Thomas C. Shot well, one of the greatest market reporters In America, writes from New York, under date of March 20th, and says: 'The tariff tangle with Canada .which President Taft has taken In hand Is of importance chiefly because of the multitude of American farmers ♦hat are crossing into the Canadian northwest. Most conservative esti mates of their number place it at 150,000 for 1910. Some say as many as 250,000 will oross. These are all expert farmers and their places In the United States are being filled by untrained men from Europe and from the cities. Canada Is gaining rapidly In agricultural importance and within a few years the United States will £ ave to call on the Dominion for wheat. Production of wheat in the United States Is not keeping pace with the population. A tariff war would ' complicate the problem of getting food. Even now Canadian farmers are getting higher pricea for their cattle on the hoof, and Candian housewives are paying less for meat butcher shops than farmers and housewives are receiving anrf paying In the United States. The tariff on cattle and wheat must be removed as between the two countries before long.”
