CANADA’S WHEAT. VANCOUVER, August 8. China and Japan are learning to eat bread.

The demand in the past ten months was greater than could lie met. Ihe West Canada pool has become the greatest organisation of its kind in the world, said Mr Sproule, who added:— The prosperity which abounds in Western Canada is the creation of 60 per cent of the farmers who are handed together co-operatively. The other 40 per cent carry no burden, and yet they share the benefits, which is not fair. We have compulsory education —why not compulsory co-operation?
