Prairie population possibilities : a study prepared for the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations / by W.J. Waines. : Z1-1937/2-41-11E-PDF
"Professor Waines analyzes the present distribution of population by soil zones and collates estimates of the amount of unoccupied land, classified by quality, available. Assuming no major change in technique which would make submarginal areas commercially productive, Professor Waines finds room for only a limited additional settlement in the northern grey timber and black park transitional zones. Probable abandonment of submarginal lands in other zones, and the application of more extensive mechanized farming methods in the areas where that would appear economical may well displace an equal population. The problem is thus whether the prairies can, far from absorbing new immigration, support their own natural increase without a reduction in the average standard of living"--Editorial Foreword.
