Canada Will Prosper From U S Wheat Trade Says Major Strange
Major Tf. G. L. Sirenge of the Board of Trade Exchange and Kiwanis says Western Canada can become a top nation by exporting U S wheat. He describes mixed farming as key, notes subsidies, and cites his own farm conversion from nothing to a productive operation after study at farm colleges. The United States population needs a market, he argues, and England provides a stable outlet for products.
