FORTUNE SMILING UPON
THE CANADIAN FARMER
Indications for Bumper Crop for 19O4---No
Abatement in the Great Demand for West
ern Canada Lands.

tice the unlimited opportunities this
Canadian northwest offers, especially
to those who wish to carry on wheat
farming.
All authorities on the question Of
wheat prices are unanimous In stat
ing that from now on the price Of
wheat will be higher than the aver
age price has been for the last twenty
years. How, you may ask, do they
arrive at this conclusion? Simply in
this manner: The worlds consump-
ton of wheat is increasing at rapid
rate. Many old countries that for
merly exported wheat, now do not
raise enough for their own use, con-
sequently have to import the same.
The United States now exports more
wheat than any other country on the
face Of the earth. But her available
wheat area, is practically exhausted,
and, according to present increase of
her population, it will only be a mat
ter of fifteen or twenty years when
the United States will cease to be an
exporter of wheat. Where, then, will
the millions Of bushels of wheat come
from to fill the demand Of foreign
countries? We do not hesitate in
saying that Canada is the country
that will to a great extent have to
fill this demand. Canada is to-day
the only country where there are

Never before were conditions more
favorable for a bumper crop In Cana
da. The ground was IN the very best
of condition to receive the seed, and
after seeding was practically over,
they got q good rain, which, with the
warm weather thruout the month of
May, has produced wonderful results
in rapid growth Of vegetation. The
Canadian farmer will this year, with
out doubt. be well repaid for his sea-
sons work.
To the average tIller of the SOIL
wheat-raising is the ideal method Of
farming, as it brings the quickest re-
suits with the least amount Of labor
expended. In order that he may sue
cessf,Nly carry on wheat-farming, he
must from time to time add to the
area Of his fields. This is a difficult
matter in an old settled community,
where land values are high. He,
therefore, especially If he has sons
growing up, must look to a new coun-
try where good wheat lands are COM
(. paratively cheap and where his sons
will have every advantage Of start
ing in on a small capital and MAX
ing a home for themselves. Taking
this into consideration and granting
that many readers of this paper are
Interested in this matter, we take this
opportunity Of bringing to your no.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-05-26

teen years until the available wheat
lands of that country will also be
taken up. Any one can thus see that
from now on the4 consumption of
wheat will increase faster than the
production Of the same, which will
higher prices Of wheat from now on.
Manitoba and eastern Assiniboia Of
that country are especially we'll
adapted to the raising of wheat. The
soil and climatic conditions cannot
be excelled anywhere In the world.
They there have no hot winds to con-
tend with. The cool nights and long
to the thoro ,ripening Of wheat, conse-
quently the great t-he1ft of the same.
Do you know that of the crop Of 1902,
Of all the grain inspected there in
Winnipeg; over 50%per> cent Of 1t went
No. 1 hard, while Of that inspected
here in Minneapolis less than 2 per
cent was of that quality? In order to
show the holding-out quality Of the
soil, we might mention that there are
many instances where land that has
been for the last twenty years con-
tinually cropped, still yields as high
as 35 or 40 bushels Of wheat to the
acre. The average yield for Mani
toba for the last twenty years, ac-
cording to the government records,
has been about 20 bushels to. the acre.
Taking this very conservative figure
as a basis and placing the average
future price Of wheat at, say, 80 cents
per bushel, a farmer will very soon
pay for a farm which cost him $40 or
| $12 per acre.
Leaving out Of consideration alto
Igether the present. war, wheat prices
would at this time still be high
| There is every indication, however
THAT this war is going to be
a long-protracted. struggle, in which
lease the price of wheat will be very
much higher than it now Is. The Ca
madam Northwest is just on the eve OF
the greatest boom that that country
has ever witnessed. Every indication
ceoocta la iroHa15r Of sattlars
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-05-26

for this year will be at least double
what 1t has been in any previous year.
Another healthy indication is that
Manitoba farmers are now buying
more land than they have ever done
before. They who have been there
for some years have unbounded faith
in the future prosperity Of the farm
ing class Of that country and are do
ing their utmost to get all the land
they can possibly handle. Another
factor which favors the Canadian
farmer is the cheaper freight rates on
wheat. Reckoning from the head of
navigation as a basis on which to
figure, Duluth on the United States
side and Fort William on the Ca
anadian side, we may mention for in
stance, Emerson, 493 miles from Fort
William, with q freight charge Of z
ern Minnesota, 1858 miles from Duluth,
| 8 cents per bushel; Estevan. in ASSN
iboia, tit miles from Fort William,
10 centsa abushel; Avoka, in North
dakota, 615 miles from Duluth, with
freight charge Of IL cents per bushel.
Let us briefly consider what this diff
ference means. A difference in
freight charges of cents per bushel
means to the farmer raising 20 bushels
per ache, just $1.00, or on a field OF
160 acres, $3.50 per year. In ten years
this would amount to a difference in
favor Of the Canadian farmer Of $1,000,
or the cost of his farm.
The American investor and promo
ter, ever on the lookout for new fields
OF action, has found in Western Cam
ada a situation offering great oppor-
tunities. We find in Winnipeg to-day
many American firms doing business
on a large scale. We wish specially
to mention the Manitoba Land & In
vestment company, Of which March
! Brothers and III, II. Wells Of this state
are the principal factors. This was
the first American land company in
Winnipeg. The principals Of this en-
|terprising firm showed their faith in
this country by buying, some four or
] five years ago, about 100000 acres OF

young business man of the town took
up the challenge and a fight ensued.
