The successful harvesting of the crop In Western Canada this season i Is what Ex-F'rcniier Asqulth of Great Hritaln would term "a matter of ira- ; perious urgency." | Since men began to sow grain west of the Cireat Lakes, there has never been so much depending upon the yield of grain in Manitoba, Saskatche- wan mid Alberta as there Is this year. The Canadian Northern Railway, with lines grklironliig the productive sections In'tlie west, has already con- cluded a survey as to labour needs, and the prospects of the wages to be paid, and has announced that 25,(JO0 men will be ie(Hiired to help the farm- ers garner the crops in the territory it serves. The indications are that the average wages will be around three dollars a day. A further conference between the representatives of the Government, the railv\ays and the farmers Is to bo lield, when further details will be brought out.
