It should be pointed ott, how- ever, that’rural development and production in.British Columbia is a very long way from the blue ruin condition which some people, actuated purely by political mo- tives, are endeavoring to make out. As a matter of fact the province exported agricultural products to the value of $6,550, 000 in 1922 as against $3,995,000 in 1916. These figures speak for themselves and require no ex- planation. Canadian Steer Wins Proof of the high grade of steers which can be raised in Western Canada is the success of the animal Col. H. A. Mullins, veteran livestock man of the west, sent to Great Britain last spring for exhibition purposes. The entry took second place out of an exceptionally. strong group in the Norwich fat cattle show in November, aceording to British papers, and its photograph is prominently displayed on the front page of the Sunday Pic- torial. © Immigration Policy As a result of a recent con- ference at zeneral headquarters of the Canadian National Rail- ways, Montreal, an important and definite nolicy of immigra- tion and colonization was decided upon. It provides for the bring- ing to Canada of suitable settlers, carefully selected, and helping them to become established as farmers after their arrival.
