Canada Poised for Agricultural Boom and Vast Coal Reserves
A Dominion Mines report estimates Canada holds 73 percent of bituminous, 481 million tons of anthracite, and over 100 billion tons of sub bituminous coal. With a 12 million ton annual mine output, good coal could last 6186 years, or 1456 years including inferior grades. Keen immigration and rapid railway expansion fuel optimism for a vast western settlement and a massive wheat crop potential in 1913, as farms expand, markets open, and farmers plan for growth amid expanding rail and farm labor support.
