Let us carry this out a little further and see how it may affect our wheatraising section of the country in the future. I wish to give the Senator a few figures that may interest him to know what our wheat raisers are looking forward to. The great emigration of Americans into Canada. which has just commenced to flow in that direction. is due to the fact that tillable Government land in the United States is no longer to be obtained in sufficient quantities to meet the demand. We have doubled in our population in the last thirtyfive years and will double that population again in the next thirtyfive years. In the year 1901 we raised about 700.000.000 bushels of wheat.
