Personally whenever he made a visit to Vancouver or Victoria the effort was made to impress him with the advantages of the larger cities and centers; of how foolish ih is for one to remain in the .small places of the provincial hinterland; and if this happened to himself it doubtless happened to many others. There could be no questioning -ijp growing attractions the cities held out to the people, but to his mind it became a ruinous policy to emphasize it. and in many ways minimize the advantages cf life on the farm or in the small centers. If the thing continued it would soon become impossible to induce people to s:ay en the farms. To his mind i. is a shame so little 's done, or attempted, to make life in the small community or on the farm � more attractive, so that our people will remain there. One is not require to think very deeply to realize it is not on the paved streets of the laige city, nor in numerous other at tractions, that Canadian citizenship i developed to the best advantage, but rather in the small centers and on the farms with their close contacts, where h (Continued from page 1) emoon the minister of agriculture irought down a bill by message Getting jfcp the provincial board and making tie Marketing Act applicable h\ Brit-h Columbia, and in about half an 3ur it had been put through its va-pxus stages and enacted into law.

The delegates to the convention had been very appreciative of the demonstration of the practical work being done by the officers of the experimental farms branch on the illustration stations throughout the district, but H. S. French, the" secretary for District "C" had found it impossible to induce either E. M. Straight or R. B. Hall to occupy a seat at the head of the table. He had been able to hook Harry Bowman, who has been doing some very valuable work in advancing agriculture in the Central Interior, but even he had slipped away a couple of times, and finally brought up at the end of the table, almost out of sight, though certainly not out of mind. With respect to Mr. Perry the modesty shown in dealing wit.h the part he had played in the securing of grain and potato seed for the interior was most striking. He did not mind telling the convention the department of agriculture had no expectation of securing free seed, on � the contrary it was clearly understood there would be no chance of securing it, but when Mr. Perry and the members for Om-ineca and Skeena had made their representations in the matter it ceased to remain a departmental matter and became one for consideration by the cabinet. Mr. Perry went further than the other members. It was he who had taken up the matter of potato reed. He represented a very serious situation existed in his riding and insisted that potato seed be rendered available if there was to t>e a potato (Continued on Page Six) _ Gold Mining in British Columbia The value of gold production increased by 22.6'< in 1933, with indications that it will considerably expand during 1934.
