failure, we had our own troubles in
showing the public that Canada was not
affected to any material extent. Such
was actually the case, as the late figures
in our tremendous wheat crop of 1904
prove. Some Of the stories giving rise
to the rust scare had their origin in
small things. Complaints by farmers
that the crop yield had not, reached
their expectations formed basis for
many of these stories. Here is one in
stance: A farmer in the Last Noun
tain valley district, which you know is
in the very center of the Canadian
wheat belt, and where forty bushels to
an acre is not an unusual yield, wrote
me letter complaining bitterly that he
was to have ONLY TWENTY bushels
to the acre on that years crop.
"Twenty bushels to the acrel Think
of it! In the great Dakotas the farm
ers do not attempt to restrain their Joy
when they receive fifteen bushels to the
acre, and in that country wheat lands
sell at from $40 to $50 an acre, where
ours in the Last Mountain valley dis.
trict average about SO or $40 an acre.
"There is moral attached to this lit

Calgary, Alberta, Can, April 90
The following letter has been received
by the Calgary Colonization company
from an Illinois Yankee:
HDuring the summer of 1904 my at
tention was directed to western Can
ada, and upon the solicitation of a friend
connected with the Calgary Colonial
tion company I went out to look at the
country, not expecting to find anything
as good as I had been accustomed to
seeing in my native state Of Illinois.
I went direct to Calgary and from
there to the little town Of High River,
forty miles farther south, and was so
we'll pleased with the appearance of
the country and the general outlook of
the crops that I bought a section of
land, paying So per acre for it. Later
in the season I returned to that part of
the country and bought a cattle ranch,
containing something over $500 acres.
ESQ we'll was I pleased with my first
purchases, and being thoroly convinced
by reason of the abundant harvest of
1904 of the real worth Of the country,
I returned to Calgary with couple of
my friends in the latter part Of March
this year, and together we bought over
5000 acres from the Calgary Colonial
ton company.

tive as land which I own in Illinois,
