I was going to say to the Senator from New Hampshire that one of the reasons. I think. for the emigration to Canada. perhaps. is that the homestead laws there are more in accordance with modern legislation than the old homestead laws we have. There they have a three years homestead. and they permit them to leave six months out of the year. Therefore. if a man of very limited means goes upon a homestead in Canada and it is difficult for him to make a living upon the homestead. he may take six months out of the year elsewhere in which to accumulate means to enable him to live. and that Is one of the reasons why our homestead law ought to be overhauled.
