Mixed farming is successfullycarried on pretty generally throughout the district, and willlargely increase as irrigation operations are extended. Atvarious places the dairy industry is rapidly developing. Thougha large portion of Southern Alberta is bare of timber for fuel,this lack is amply compensated for by an inexhaustible supplyof coal of excellent quality, which crops out at many pointsalong the steep banks of the streams that plentifully water thecountry. The principal towns of Alberta are Lethbridge, Macleod,Okotoks, High River
