demands of the growing colony. A pri-

Sept. 8, and everything points to the
permanence of the towns prosperity.
Such a. growth could only have
been possible, with the advent of the
best class of settlers, men who have
money back of them, and who did
not have to depend upon their first
years crop for livelihood ~
Mr.. March has been most careful in
the class Of men to whom he has sold
land. and as a result the country has
jumped into immediate prosperity. The
majority were farmers who owned
small farms in Minnesota, and others
OF the States across the line. Having
sold their homes they were able to
Duy Canadian farms at the cheaper
values, which not only gave them
larger holdings, but in most cases left
q comfortable cash reserve.
Mr.. March is not only bright and en-
terprising, but is most shrewd busi-

accepting every opening. Manitoba and
the West owe him considerable debt
for the amount of good he has done

alone devoted 100000 acres to coarse
grains in 1901, and $4,000 acres to roots
and potatoes. In the Territories about
the same proportion was seeded to these

Perhaps In no country in the world has
there been such surprising yields OF
oats as in, certain sections of the Ca

it is recorded that at Brandon the yield

Increased this year by about 5000 acres,
