During the first quarter of the current fiscal year April to June there was a drop of over 7.1 million in customs revenue compared with the same months last year.

He cites 680000 acres of homestead land, 935000000 total arable, of which 400000000 is farmed, with under 40 percent well cultivated and under 12 percent yielding full returns. A federal scheme would survey land, climate, soil, title, improvements, crops, markets, schools and churches, and ensure immigrant welfare locally to prevent exploitation by land agents and merchants. Demonstration farms and scientific agriculture would guide newcomers using Canadian methods.
