It is proposed ' to cut hay on. the Domin- ion lands in the north, bale it ana ship it south to feed the cattle, or to send the cattle from the southern areas to the haylands of the north, whers 'moistitre has been adequate and grass is abundant. © | y+ To carry out either or both of these proposals the Dasjinion Gov- ernment has proposed to the pro- vineial authorities' that the cost of securing the hay and moving 't bay and cattle be borne equally the Dominion Government, provin- cial Government, railway companies and stock owners. Another proposal for division of expense is that it be | {borne equally by the Dominion Gov- ernment, provincial Governments and railway companies. This latter will probably be adopted, as 'the stock owners may not be in a financial po- sition to assume any part of the cost. The Alberta authorities have sig nified their willingness to co-operate and, it 1s believed, will advise thar the whole expense be borne by the Dominion and provincial Govern- ments and the railway companies: The Saskatchewan Government would have the Federal Government assume all the expense and respon- sibility, The problem is almost pure- ly a/ provincial one, and the Federal Government will insist on the pro- Gove at 'MARRIED WAYWARD GIRL AS A BOYISH PRANK The Murderer of Lieut.

Ottawa, July 18-~--Bven greater than Cabinet reorganization or gre lection of a Liberal leader is the Dr blem of marketing this year's whea® crop.

This is not a Temedy but a desperate experiment. The tendency will be to make the mini. mum price the basis for financing, and what will inevitably follow will be that the minimum 'price will be the basis of purchase.
