President. a decade is likely to see the prairies of Canada settled. The effect of the free admission of Canadian products will be comparable to the effect of the opening of the West on the agriculture of New England and other Eastern States. It seems hardly necessary to call attention to the abandoned farms and depressed land prices and the emigration from that section of the agricultural population which resulted. The President also contends that the natural change in farming in this country is from the raising of wheat and other cereals for export to the raising of grain for farm consumption and development of the secondary products in the form of cattle and hogs. He fails to take into consideration that there are some sections of our country that can produce wheat and other grains that can not produce corn at an advantage.
