Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural and Industrial Progress in Canada, Vol. 2: A Monthly Review of Agricultural and Industrial Progress in Canada, Published by the Department of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Montreal, Canada; July, 1920 Passing through on the train the little band, which had put behind it irretrievably the dykes and tulip gardens of its native home, was frankly delighted with the Canada seen from the train windows. All waxed enthusiastic at the large farms with their vast possibilities, viewing in anticipation their own homesteads in the west, so different from the small holdings with their limited acreage to which they had been accustomed. They were already planning out homes for themselves on the great western expanse where there is room for so many settlers. They come as homebuilders, adopting the land that adopts them, readily assimilable, soon to be Canadians and bring up their children true sons and daughters of the Dominion. Agriculture is the Dominion's premier in dustry. Back of Canada's progress stands the farmer, and the country's advancement in agriculture is re ected in every phase of the Dominion's activity. The settlement of lands, better farming and every progressive move of agriculture is the concern of every resident in Canada no matter what his profession; the railways, the governments, industries and manu factures, and the consuming public are alike interested. The federal and provincial govern ments and the railways with a keen realization of this, have ceaselessly worked for the progress and development of this industry through the establishment of experimental farms, the circula tion of literature and other propaganda matter, and many other methods. They have never ceased to advocate better farming, the scientific study of soils, crops and systems, land conserva tion and all that tends for greater and healthier production, enrichment of land, and improve ment in living and social conditions in rural settlements.
