W, R. Milburn, John Holmes, M. r.
Dagger, e. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
county, Iowa, report as follows Of the
Canadian Northwest as to Its suit
ability for farming, and the advan-
tages It offers to the agricultural I'M
migrant from the United States:
I'VE came here solely to look up i'm
proved farms and, If suitable, to Sc
lect such as pleased us best. We have
not visited the homestead districts at
all. though we believe them to be very
inviting. Our inquiries have been
confined solely to the district around
Hartney, Deloraine and towards the
Souris River in Manitoba. Our I'M
pressions Of all that region are IN
every way satisfactory, and we have
decided to go back to Iowa at once.
and, having disposed Of our several
interests there, to return to Manitoba
In the month Of March next, and, Ell
fecting our purchase Of improved
farms. which we find we can do at
reasonable rates, Immediately begin
farming. We are greatly pleased with
all that we have seen in that part of
Western Canada. The soil we find to
be more than equal to that Of our own
country for wheat-growing, and the
other conditions Of climate. schools,
markets, etc.. are all that we could
wish, for. L. ~.
"To show what an energetic man
can do we may mention that we found
one such at Hartney who had rented
a farm on shares, receiving two thirds
Of the returns as his share of the
CROP. When he came to sell his own
produce he found that his two-thirds,
when converted into cash, was enough
to buy the farm he rented out and
out, which he accordingly did, and IS
now its owner. It is our Intention to
induce as many Of our friends as pos
sible. who are practical farmers, to re-
move from Iowa to this country
where we believe there IL better
future for the Industrious man than
Is now to be found anywhere on this
continent. We are we'll known In our
part Of the state of Iowa, and We IN
vite correspondence from its residents
in all parts with regard to this re-
zion of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend
to return = =
