THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1930 PACE SEVEN CROWN LANDS NEED CLASSIFICATION FOR SETTLEMENT System Would Spare Settlers Much Hardship, Land Surveyors Are Told Ottawa, Out., Feb. 6,--"Classifica- don of tae «ypes of land to be fond sr any area before it is apened for settlement is most imporatnt," was the statement of L. E. Fontaine, D.S.L., in addressing the annual con- rention of the Dominion Land Sur- reyors Association which is being beld here. "There are three questions which come to mind" said Mr. Fontaine, 'as soon as one begins to consider land settlement; where are the lands that are suitable for settlement, what type of settler is required, and how can we keep the settlers and farm- ers on the land." YA few years ago," said Mr. Fon- | taine, "a system of land classification was inaugurated whereby virgin lands in various parts of the country were examined and classified according wo | their value for prospective settlers for suitable land was eliminated be- cause by using the land classification maps the search was at once narrow- ed down to comparatively small ar- eas. These classification maps also tended to act as a check on the in- tending settler and to deter him from selecting lands unsuitable to agricul- ture, which under any uncontrolled | system was bound to occur. In con- nection with this phase of the t- ter let us quote the remarks of the present minister of the Interior when | he spoke at our annual luncheon in 1928. "The soil survev that is being conducted bv some of the men in this branch is of great value to the in- coming settler, and will tend to pre- vent what has happened in the past the uninitiated going in selections of land totally unsuitable for cultivation, "That has been a ra- ther costly exnerience in the province | of Alherta and Saskatchewan, the set tlement of land that never should have heen taken for aerieultrral nor poses. and the conseauently dificult of getting it back into ranging and | not | other uses from which it should have heen diverted." "With the falline off in immiera- tion the work of land clacsifiratinng has been reduced, hut" asked Mr Fontaine, programme throughout. the entire country, so that we will be ready for another hiz wave of immigration whan it comes?" "The most desirable tyne of settler" jaid Mr. Fontaine, "is one who has tad a fair knowledge of farming ob- mined bv practical exoerience, for ur der present conditions the inexneri enced man is aot to become discour- aged and give un." "Our immiorants come almost en- {until they become well established." | make homes for tirely from the United States and tiurope. Conditions in the United States are so similar to Canada that the settler from that country as a rule is able to lovk after his own w- terests without supervision. On the other hand the settler from Europe; is handicapped when he faces modes of life nad customs differing from | those to which he is accustomed. It} is therefore desirable that settlers from Europe should receive a certain amount of supervision and assistance No effort should be spared in as- sisting boys fm Canadian farms to themselves in the newer districts and special induce- | ment might well be offered to those | who do so. Every prospective settler should be | unpressed with the idea that making | a farm is hard work and that his suc- cess will depend upon his own efforts. On the other hand it should be eralized that where the farm has to be cleared of trees before it can be ploughed, it will take several years for the settler to firmly establish hun- self, and, during.these years it is only right that he should receive aid in emergencies, and government agen- cies should be prepared to give it and making | "would not this he the time for an agrressive land classification when necessary. To keep settlers and farmers on { the land 1s no simple problem. They { should be allowed to settle only on land that has previously been deter- | mined to be suitable for settlement. This land should not be too far from ta railway and good roads should be! provided and maintained in good } condition in all 'seasons to the near-| est railway station. Every cffort] | should be made to extend into farm- | ing areas such modern conveniences fas electric power, telephone and rural {mail delivery systems, so that 1sola- tion will disappear while peace and quiet still remain. Every encourage- me nt should be given to cooperative | marketing, to assure the farmer of a satisfactory return for his labor To sum up one might say that the [ best method of keeping our farmers ton the farms is to help them to in- crease their purchasing power, and to see that they live under comtort- able conditions.

H. Bartley, D.S.L., at the annual convention of Dominion Land Surveyors held to- day. "The benefits of such a map gystem," said Mr. Bartley, "need scarcely he mentioned to an asso- ciation of this kind. In place of the confusion due to various types of maps, each based upon indepen- dent control surveys of varying de- grees of accuracy, which cannot be expected to fit when they meet, and each prepared by different methods and making use of different sym- bols, the country is securing a uni- forns system of maps based on a | unified standard control of geode- tic surveys of the highest accuracy. This system of maps is characters ized by standard map areas, stan- dard methods, standard accuracy and is printed in aceordance with definite | standards of the lithographic art. Consequently each of these maps are eaually intelligible to the citi- zen, whether it be for an area near Vancouver or on Prince Edward {s- land." "In carrying out this work under federal control or supervision," de- Mr, Bartley, 'Canada has followed the well established prac- tice of Creat Britain, the United States and nearly all European countries." Such awgentralized ar-| thatjCanada had a daily output in rangement, based on co-oneration with the provinces," he said, "is by the most cenductive to the stand- ardization already referred to and is productive of major economies. "Canada is in the fortunate pos- | ition of having efficient federal or- ganizations to deal with topo- granhicallv manned or is in the pro- wide basis, with 'the extensive machanical equipment essential to map production of a high order, and a highly specialized technical personnel, the result of many years development, Progress on this national map- | ping has heen very substantial con- gidering the vast areas involved." said Mr. Bartley, "More that 40 | per cent. of the area of the provin- | ces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and | Alberta has already been topo- graphically mapped r is in the pro- DIO IINITOINISY (0)2] 3 a TT | Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and the | Maritime Provinces, similar work 20 MINUTES That's all.

No Headache cess of being so mapped, under federal auspices, while in British is being advanced each year by the same federal organizations, so that ultimately we will have a splendid | topographical record of Candada's heritage, "Data collected by the United States Board of Surveyers and Maps shows many concrete illue- trations of the value of such topo- graphical maps," sald Mr. Bartley. "One manufacturer stated that the topographical map, just issued.at a cost of $8,000 of the the area in which his company was interested, had saved that one company alone $10,000, A railway location en- gineer revised the location of a railway line by using an advance copy of a topographic map secured since he first made his plans, the result was a saving of $85,000, while the total cost of making the map was only $4,000. Many simi- lar cases are on record." Mr. Bartley also dwelt upon the constantly growing importance of aviation, not only in connection with the development of aerial photographic mapping, and the in- vestigation of many engineering and hydraulic problems by means of aerial photographs, In which de- velopment and {investigation Do- minion Land Surveyors have taken the lead but also on the very rapid yearly increase in its use in many activities beth governmental and commercial.' President Bartley also referred to the fact that whereas a few years ago a partial failure of the Canadian wheat crop would have | produced stagnation and hard timgs, today such is not the case, | so fadidly is Canada becoming an indfstrial nation. He pointed out manufacturing of $12,000,000 a day, and her exports are valued at $241 per head of population as compared with $190 for Great Bri- {taln and $77 for the United | States. | Mr. Bartley stated that while the stock market slump of last fall resulted to some losses to in- | dividuals and a temporary hesi- | tancy in Canada's advance, its ef- | fect was largely past; that all in- | dications pointed to an increased | activity in the development of Canada's raw assets and a resumed | era of prosperity and that the out- | | look was full of promise. { | Film Adaptation of f Famous| Broadway Hit Makes Hil- | | arious Photo-comedy James and Lucile Webster Glea- { son, the highest-priced comedy | team in the world. achieve thoir greatest success --- surmounting anything they have ever done on | the st ge--in Universal all-talking ! production of Glcison's come Vv | | hit, "The Shainons of °~ oadway, | | now playing at the New Martin } theatre This achievement {s roached HOMF_ SCHOO (UB ELECTS OFFICERS Harmony Organization Names Mrs. H.
