') FEARGERMAN PERIL IN SOUTH AFRICA Compulsory Repatriation of Teuton Settlers is Urged â€" Country Shows Big Possibilities For Mining, Agriculture, and Cattle-Raising Boom. A despatch from Wiiuihuk, South i Africa, says: â€" The total pre-war Ger- maa populatioa of what was formerly known as German Southwest Africa, Including "women and children, was 14,000, of whom 2,000 belonged to Ger- ; man garrisons and 800 were police. Though no statement on the subject has been made in the union parlia- ment, it Is known that within the last few weeks these 2, SCO have been re- patriated in addition to 600 civilian Germans, who are now in the course of repatriation, and this number will probably be increased by another 400. Moreover, it is anticipated that at least another 1,000 Germans will re- turn to Germany voluntarily. British settlers are of opinion that the former German officers and sol- diers, particularly the former, who are settled on the laud, ought to be com- pulsorily repatriated. Thoy Influence both the Dutchman and native, and If they were left in the country they would almost certainly be an element of perBianent unrest. The mining possibilities of the coun- try are of virtually unknow^n quality and quantity, except for the Otavi mines in the south. Geologists of high repute who have visited Kaokoveld in the north are of opinion that Kaoko- veld is highly mineralized and occur- vrences of tin have been reported. The government did not encourage the prospecting. When a coal seam was reported to have been discovered In the Beseba district In 1910 the German Government immediately closed the district to prospecting. Apart from minerals the country has a sure future in its stock-raising potentialities, in which respect it is compared with Argentina. In any consideration of these possi- bilities you must divide the country Into north and south, and that can be dene roughly by taking the north as that portion to the north of Windhuk and the south as south of Windhuk. It has enormous ' economic values, both as an agricultural and cattle- ralsiag country. Its agricultural possi- « bilitles have only been scratched and considerabie developments are expect- ed under this tead from the additional capital and Influx of the population which will undoubtedly take place un- der the new regime. However, cattle-raising In the north seems far and away more profitable and certainly greater in Ita possibili- ties than agriculture. It has been proved that small stock do not thrive as well in the north as in the south, whereas the north has been proved to be the moie excellent cattle country. The veldt Is composed of grass and trees. The latter entirely disappear in the south. The average rainfall Is 15.2 inches and falls during summer only. There are no winter rains. The price of private land in the north ranges frum $2.25 to $6.75 per cape morgen (about an acre). The present administration cannot dispose of the government l^nd. The south is conmionly described as a desert and its virtues from a stock- raising point of view or any other point of view are not apparent to the stranger or chance traveller. It has always been neglected and scorned both by the government and the pros- i pective settler. However, the man who knows the south recognizes its great possibilities as a stock-ralsins country. The South African farmer and par- ticularly those living near its southern border also arc beginning to recognize its potentialities in this respect Those British who have entered the protec- torate since it was occupied are loud in their praise of this region and high- ly satisfied with the results they have I attained. Horses, cattle. Namaqua sheep and Boer goats all do exception- ' ally well, and in some uprtions of Re- â-  hoboth. Maltahohe, Gibeon. Kectman- shoop and Wafmbad districts merino and angora goats also do well. The increase in sheep and goats in good lambing seasons Is aO per cent.. which is an exceptionally high per- 1 centage. This is due to the fact that stock sicknesses are virtually non- ' existent. The veldt conditions are very dlf- ! ferent from the north and vegeution j is very sparse as against the luxurious j growth of the north. There are no j trees from Rehoboth southward and j the veldt is composed of grass and ; bush in most places, very much like ! Karroo, except that the bush Is not so ! thick. The grass is short and sweet j and resists drought However, the I bush forms the most important part of the veldt. The south Is undoubtedly more free from disease than the north, and this may be due to less rain and more se- vere winters. In the south, owing to the minimum rainfall, no agriculture ! is possible. The average 15.000 mor- gen farm in the south will carry 250 head of small stock, while farms in the Rehoboth. Maltahohe and Gibeon dis- i trlcts will carry more than this. j The first essential in the develop- ; ment of the south Is the opening up of ! water and extensive boring operations j on government land, which are im- mediately Becessary. The only bore masters,- •'Germans," In the country I are non being repatriated so that bor- ing operations in the hands of private Individuals have for the time being come to an end. There is also the question of damning the rivers, which come down during summer rains. t Private enterprise and capital are : wbat this country requires. | The country will offer excellent pros- j pects and good returns to young men 1 with small capital â€" young men who I are not afraid of the loneliness of the | vast Veldt and the comparative ab- 1 sence of social life. There are no j failures, because, comparatively speak- 1 Ing. there are no stock sicknesses. The question at the end of a given period ! Is the amount of success obtained and , that Is regulated by the amount of i capital originally invested in stock. , Knowledge of stock is. of course, es- sential. \ A PLEA FOR GOOD R0A08. You Cant send away for GOOD ROADS. The work must be done at home. The worst enemy of GOOD ROADS is out-of-town buying. The only GOOD ROADS movement that Is worth while is that leading to the Home Town. The model commvinlty is honeycombed with good roadsâ€" all highways to the town market, mak- ing It easy of access to the farthest farm. GOOD ROADS and TRADING AT HOME go hand in hand. They are inseparable. You cant have one without the other Every order sent out of town puts a stumbling block In the movement for GOOD ROADS. But ereir dollar you spend at home is a paving block in the path of progress and economy. Join the "Trade-at-Home" brigade to-day. Markets of the WorU Breadstuff's. Toronto, July 29.â€" Man.

TRADE WITH GERMANY A despatch from London says: â€" ' The Prince of Wales will visit the United States ne.xt month as a guest of the .American Government. King Gorgre, on behalf of the Prince, has, accepted an invitation sent the Prince by PSr^sident Wilson to visit the Presi- j dent in Washingrton. ; .\f ter his visit to Canada the Prince will g>o to Washington for a few days as a guest of the United States Gov-j emment, and later will make a brief visit to New York, where he will live on board the British battleship Re-, nown dn New York harbor, although! still a guest of the Government. A despatch from Ottawa says: â€" Canada's maU service has been re- sumed with Germany, as Great Britain Is now exporting to a certain extent into Germany, and as it has practically been decided here that Canada will follow automatically all the moves of the United Kingdom towards a re- sumption of trade, it may be said that Canada has also resumed trade rela- tions. It Is not yet certain whether another order in Council may be neces- sary to make sure but this matter is now under consideration by the De- partment of Justice.
