Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the agricultural initiatives undertaken by British Columbia's Conservative government between 1903 and 1916. The government sought to promote agriculture and ease the burden of farmers through legislation and administrative measures. One significant achievement was the Agricultural Credits Act of 1915, establishing a system of government loans to farmers for the development of their properties, addressing a major obstacle faced by farmers in acquiring long-term, low-interest financing. The book also highlights the government's efforts in establishing a separate portfolio for the Minister of Agriculture, recognizing the critical role of agriculture in the province. Other key initiatives included the Agricultural Associations Act, providing financial support for agricultural associations and co-operatives, and the introduction of inspection and disease control measures to protect crops and livestock. This book offers a valuable perspective on the government's commitment to fostering agricultural growth and supporting the farming community, providing insights into the historical context and significance of these policies.
