To My Many Friends: AMI
to make a report to you Of thel|
visit my wife and l had INN
Canada.
We visited the territories Of !
Assiniboia, and SaSkatCheWll
found them far surprising oWl
ton, but little did | expect to ID
rich. loamy soil, so much Of III
uniform in it's level prairie la!
think the soil of Canada &J
equals if not eXcels the finest
farm lands of Indiana. Ilet
are immense in their richDsI
when once the sod is rOttel 81
verified, it is as pliable and as
cultivated as Indiana sandy sol
Western Canada, from my n
view, offers as fine Opp0rtunit
mixed farming as any place
knowledge. The long, sunShiu,
together with the rich soil,
very fine wheat, oats, barley I
other cereal products. There ii
ly any attempt to raise CON-
early varieties for table use n
son is too short to depend upon
ing field corn. From the STAMP
getting this land ready for tRl
must say that / never saw such
extent, practically all ready, sol
one has to do is to hitch upu
and go to work. This is motif
with all the Canadian land, b
some of it has quite a bit Of
much of it may be called brui
and some of it has lovely f0TeS
dotted here and there, therebyt
a hundred and sixty acres,
l have no doubt but that thbI
eXcels as q grazing or rancho
try, because they have such rid
having an abundance Of rain "
fresh. They also have plenty q
streams, and as a rule water
reached at a depth of from tH
forty feet. From this you 81
can be plenty of hay mown fol
feeding, and l have had reliabt
ers to tell me that their stock y
on hay alone, and be ready tol'
In the spring. Upon Inquire
the expense of raising a steer !
replied that he did not cons
would cost any more than $40
develop a 3-year-old steer.
l truly think Canada OteNl
opening for a young man on
who is renting land in Indian!
hundred and sixty acres Of s&
land will cost you only $40 at Y
you enter it, and by plOWnS
tivating five acres each year \
years, gives you one hundredJ
acres of good land for $l0 Y
can be bought from the raIl'1l
panies, private corporations pr
ernment for So to 81 per acre
From a financial Standpoint! y
that for a series Of years l1ve,l
man can make $40 in Canada A
he would only make 81 here NJ
sure that l spent more nOlq
my eighty-acre farm in WIrgaI
Indiana, cultivated than II |'l
me to cultivate eight hundIws
Canada. This may seem Il SuJ
to take of the matter, Dut "a
take into consideration IH7
ditching, fencing and the III
breaking in of the stumpS'
compare the expense TO 'n'' n
needing only the breaking
conclude that 1T is not Sucu'
exaggerated statement as yO''
first think. "A
l enjoyed the balmy, OIs oG
phere, which was braclns 4n'
ing, and the cool nights Wn'D
so pleasant for sleep. III

the people never suffer lrS,r III
as the weather is dry anu lu ~,
