Saskatchewan and in 1926, 1,499,411. were seeded to wheat and 10,686,351 acres to al] fleld crops, while the wheat crop amounted to 102,955,000 bus. The fleld crops were valued at $194,358, 000. When Alberta became a province it was noted for its ranching with mil- lions of acres of unfenced range. In 1906 it had 950,632 cattle, whereas in 1925 it had 1.526,729 cattle. The con- trast is even more marked when the figures for milch cows are compared; for these two years they were 101,243 and 460,722 respectively. In 1906 the total for horses, cattle, sheep and swine was 1,446,065; in 1925 it was 8,471,374. The growth of the dairy industry is most remarkable. In 1905 the production of creamery butter and cheese was practically negligible. In 1924, the last year for which quanti- ties aro at hand, Alberta produced 22,288,888 lbs, of creamery butter and The total for horses, cattle, sheep and swine in 1905 was 958,626 and in 1925, 8,411,695. That Saskatchewan is not pinning its faith entirely on wheat as some people suppose is shown by the growth of the dairy industry. There were 112,618 milch cows in 1905, whereas in 1925 there were 496,602, and the production of creamery but- ter climbed from 182,440 lbs. in 1906 to 18,493,670 lbs. in 1924, It has often been said that the 20th century belongs to Canada and cer- tainly the Dominion has just- reason to be proud of these sturdy children just now reaching the adult stage and the part they have played in the de- velopment of the first quarter of the century.

Sr -- 7 -- DO AWAY WITH OLD- TIME RURAL POLICEMEN British Columbia Will Rely on Provincial Police for En- forcement of Law. Victoria, B.C.--The old-time rural policeman, the butt of countless jokes, and the terror of the careless motor- ist, will soon vanish from British Columbia. The province has found him not only inefficient, but expensive. Gradually, the Provincial Police are taking over the enforcement of laws in the Province. On Vancouver Is- land, outside Victoria, there will be practicaily no local police left within a month, and the Provincial Poilce will be in control everywhere. On the mainland, too, several cities and dis- tricts have completed policing agree- ments with the Government, and others have the matter under consid- eration. It is beginning to appear that, within a very short time British Columbia will have no local police left outside of the capital and Vancouver. It is expected that the new plan will make for efficiency. There have been too many police forces in the past, in the opinion of the authorities, and this will be eliminated. Through the use of the motor car the modern criminal, it is pointed out, has acquired great J. Antonlo Beaudry Montreal publisher, who was found dead In his office Monday afternoon, seated in his chair at his desk with a pen in his hand. He had been killed by bullets fired from behind and the body was undiscovered from Saturday afternoon.
