Commentary on this speech by Barry Smith of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands:

1947 - 25%
1969 - 22%
1980 - 18%

The speech considers the following topics:
A. The changing Picture of Western Canadian Agriculture

• Energy Costs
• Cropping Options
• Northern Expansion
• Diversification, Intensification, Specialization
• Foreign Ownership

B. Agricultural Land Use Planning
C. Integrated Land Use Issues"

Photograph depicts the Westbridge CPR depot on the Kettle Valley Line. It is located about 11 miles north of Rock Creek and at about mile 123.3 east of Penticton. The depot house is disused and the sidings contained no cars, so there appears to be no local traffic.

Photograph depicts the West Summerland CPR station in the Okanagan. The station often was used but not permanently manned. It was located at mile 9.5 from Penticton. The view is looking south.

This image is part of the outbound sequence of aerial images obtained on the helicopter flight to the Klutlan Glacier study site. The sequence starts from the base camp at the White River crossing on the Alaska Highway and heads south, to a point just upvalley of the debris-covered terminus (approx. 10-15 km from Alaska border), and turning back north to the landing spot on the Generc River floodplain close to the study site (see Fig. 1 in paper).
