The Canadian Northwest is not all
alike in its production. Wheat grow
ing is the speciality of one part, cat
tie ranching of another, and mixed
farming-the growth of grain and
live stock together-of still another.
Speaking roughly, the southeastern
parts of the Territories and Manitoba
are wheat growing; the southwest
ern part of the Territories is ranch.
ing. and the northern part of the
Territories is mixed farming. Differ.
ences of soil, climate, and other con.
ditions are the causes Of these differ.
ences in agriculture in the various
sections. But it Is safe 90 say tha.
in no other area of the world Is there
an equal possibility Of the production
OF wealth from the soil, whether by
one branch of agriculture or another.

GREAT STRIDES MADE.
Wonderful Richness Of the Soil Of
Western Canada Has Turned the
Tide of migration.


The great strides which Western
Canada is making, and the wonderful
richness of the soil, is creating con-
siderable excitement, not only in
Canada, but in the United States and
Great Britain. The large crops OF
the past two years, with phenomenal
yields, have enacted a movement to-
wards the west, which will not be
checked until every availableE home
stead is taken. The Edmonton Bull
letin, one of the "farthest north"
newspapers, in q recent article on
the Northwest as a wide and open
field, says: cThere must be fertile
soil, there must be suitable climate.
there must be the possibility of build
ing up q modern civilization; and the
conditions must be such that labor
can reach the land; or in other
words, land must be cheap. The
Canadian Northwest contains the
largest unbroken area of country on
the continent, or in the world fulfill
ing these conditions. In its thou
sand miles of plain which stretches
from the Lake of the Woods to the
Rocky Mountains Canada Is able to
offer land to the landless of the con-
tinent, and of the world. This year

Prices have advanced in Western
Canada so per cent. in the last two
