They have been accused of wheat mining, 'of gi^owing wheat crop,after wheat crop without any regard to an orderly rotation. As a m atter of fact, they have as a body followed the advice of the government agricultural ex­ perts all the years since the prairie was first really settled. ' They may have,, and many undoubtedly did, spend far too much , money in acquiring new sections for cultivation with the cash obtained from selling a good crop on the land which they already possessed. They d̂id not in very many cases hold a sufficient cash reserve out of^4his money to carry them comfortably over the bad years when the crops were poor. But th a t is all. ^ In this, however, they were only following the custom, 'of Canadian business as a whole. It -is one of the main caiiSes' of our periodic depressions. For it , has been and is our habit to take out of a business all the profits it will stand, either by, way of cash or stock dividends, and, when hard times come,4 here is not sufficient reserve left to meet the strain. The chief causes :of the present calamitous situation are hurricane winds and an absence of the usual rain over a period of years plus the breaking to cultivation of sections of land in many districts which should have been left in its natural state. We have been informed, although with what tru th we cannot say, that these lands were the Very onek reported on by experts as unfit for cultivation when the prairies were first opened -for settlement.
