Mul er of Poplar arrived in Mentreal on Sunday, sub- mitted to an interview yesterday. 4 "The situation on the prairies Is rapidly improving," the Colonel de- clared, "and the Westerner is taking courage. Moreover, many of those who in recent years left the farn are raturning. I consider the tide in Western Canada is beginning to turn strongly from the city to the farm once more. The three prairie provinces especially have a iremen- deus future, and, if dus consideration is given to their particular needs, the realization of that future cannot be long deferred.' Asked to mention some of the in- fluences which, in his opinion, would ¢ mp WESTERN GATTLE IN tend to hasten the Goiden Age for Western Canada the Colonel unhesi- tatingly pleaded first for a better un- derstanding between Hast and West. "The Western farmer can also do a great deal to help himself," the ; : Colonel added. "I consistently advo } eate that ail farmers out there i ghould go in for raising livestock as well as other stuff, especially for raising high-grade stock, and that . those now in that game should stick | i } | TAI St PERRY a i to it. They should also stop crowd- ing their shipments---and this ap- plies not only to livestock but to other products, such as grain--into three months or so of the year. Then they won't find themselves forced to take low prices be- cause of the rush, and things will be better for the country generally as | = well" ! Despite many recent setbacks, i there is, the Colonel is convinced, a { world market for good Western cat- ; tle. The demand from the United Kingdom, he says, has been constant ; and heavy since the lifting of the embargo, though it has been affected adversely by the recent closing of Liverpool, Glasgow and some other ports on account of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease. Colonel Mullins is in an excellent position to speak with authority on | the cattle situation, for he has been shipping cattle overseas steadily and intends to continue. Recently he skipped 148 head from Winnipeg to Montreal. The train, supplemented | by cars containing 100 additional head from Toronto, left the Western city | Canadian Pacific and arrived at the | stock-vards here on Sunday morning, i the Colonel following them up by a) passenger train which left Winnipeg § | { 1 i ON HRT EEE at 10 p.m. on Wednesday via © on Thursday might.
