as the weather is dry and invigorat-

To My Many Friends am pleased
to make report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and | had in Western
Canada.
We visited the territories OF AL
berta, ASsiniDOia, and saskatchewan,
and found them far surprising our i'm
aginatiOn, but little did | expect to
find such rich, loamy SOIL SO much
OF it, and so uniform in its level prai-
RE lay. l do think the soil of Canada
est prairie farm lands of Indiana.
These lands are immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, it is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil
Western Canada, from my point OF
view. offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use The sea
son is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point OF getting this land ready for
the plow. / must say that | never saw
such a vast extent, practically al
ready so all that one has to do is tc
hitch up the pillow and go to work
This is not the case with all the
Canadian land. however; some OF il
has quite a bit OF timber, much of II
may be called brush land, and some Of
it has lovely forest groves, dotted here
