“Fresh from the Gardens”

; Another Season Opens

4 Advent of spring conditions has stirred residents of the prairie prov-
inces to active preparation for the new crop. They approach the accustomed
tasks with a variety of feelings induced by their new vision of the status
of agriculture in the economic fabric of the country. Their future is not so
"3 clear, perhaps, as it once was, because they have yet no séttled convictions
z as to what the net effects of the marketing and contro) legislation, before
y provincial and federal legisiatures, will be upon their own husbandry, They
are hoping for the best, realizing that, if there is a bumper crop, the exact

of the new legi will become at once apparent.

In those sections of the prairies which have suffered from drought con-
ditions as well as from the prevailing economic depression, the new season
revives a hope that world efforts to raise prices of farm produce will have
been successful before the new crop goes on the market. They hope the
season for them will mean release from the plight which has forced them
to be dependent upon relief; that a more propitious season will place them
again upon the road to independence, security and prosperity.

Prairie folks have well-earned the encomiums heaped upon them by
those more fortunately situated, for their fortitude and solidarity through-
out their time of trouble. Each spring as seen them return to the wonted
iD’ with energy ed by privations and

disappointments. They have seen their hopes frustrated, their work nulli-
fied, their reserves shrink to vanishing point; but they have not wilted under
the strain. Throughout, they seem to have been inspired by something akin
to that philosophy which Count Leo Tolstoy put into the mouth of one of
his characters;

“They say: sufferings are misfortunes . We imagine that as soon
@s we are torn out of our habitual path all is over, but it is only the be-
ginning of something new and good. As long as there is life, there is hap-
‘piness. There is a great deal, a great deal before us.”

Theirs has not been mere passive submission to oppressive circum-
stance either. They are earnestly secking leadership and a way out of their
difficulties, and for some means of averting future danger of a recurrence
of the conditions which have brought taem disquiet. They are looking for
development, sooner or later, of a new economic structure, which will give
them assurance of better returns, and more stabilized returns, for their
jabors. They see evidences of a striving after the end they seek in home,
imperial and foreign fields, and they believe that the lesson of the depression
is not, after all; to be ignored.

It is but little over a year ago that Will Dyson, in satiric mood, was
moved to say:

“There never was in the world at any other moment so Many men going
through the motions of thinking without thought resulting.”

It is true, there has been much vain, impractical thinking, much inven-

~tion of chimerical new worlds. But it is to the everlasting credit of the
prairie sections of Canada that, at a time when forces seemed

Trailing Rare Goose

Expedition Trying To Find Nesting
Place Of White Variety

The combined efforts of the Cana-
dian government, the Royal Cana-
dian Mounted Police, the Hudson's
Bay Company. and the Eskimos of
Baffin Island were required to track
the blue goose to its breeding
grounds,

An expedition equipped to travel
by canoe, dog sled, snowshoes and
airplanes has gone to British Colum-
bia in an effort to find the nesting
place of the rare white variety
known as Ross’ snow goose. It was
first reported in 1861 and observed
in the vicinity of Sacramento, Cali-
fornia. Although since then it has
been seen in flight both in the south
and the north, its breeding place has
never been discovered.

In the winter months Ross’ goose
is a frequently observed species, but
in the spring it is lost after flying
beyond the latitude of Great Slave
and Great Bear lakes, and its sum-
mer home is problematical. It is a
victim of modernity, which denies
the right of privacy.
