Relief Costs Down in Prairie Provinces Aid
Agriculture Minister J. G. Gardiner said Dominion government relief expenditures in the prairie provinces may not exceed 9 million dollars this year, compared with 26 million last year, due to better crops and fewer total crop failures. Most outlay will be in Saskatchewan, with Manitoba and Alberta needing little distance for relief work. In counties with wheat yields under five bushels per acre for years, the Dominion covers all farm relief costs. In other areas, relief costs are shared among Dominion, provinces, and municipalities.
