In order to secure the attention OF
the reader to any special article TINT
Is brought before the public. II Il
often the custom TO lead the reader OF
by the introduction Of an interesting
story until. by n bold jump. he is
introduced to the subject that II Is
doaired shall BE- brought to his notice.
This Is not fair TO the reader. and
II Is not the Intention TO do that In
this article. II will discuss In the
brlcfost way Western Canada" and
It's poHs !bIiities for settlement. For
the past six or seven years the Gov.
crnmen, Of tho Dominion OF Canada
has talked Of tho Of West.
orn Canada TO the readers OF this and
Thousands OF other papers throughout
the United States. The quality OF tho
soil was spoken Of. the large area OF
fertile lands was discussed. the pos
sIbili,ics Of the country as a grain.
growing district were talked Of. and
the story Of the success OF farmers
from the United States was told. The
story l. not ye; an old one The two
hundred thousands from the United
States. who have made Western Can.
ada their home. who have taken advan.
tnge OF the 100 acres Of land that tho
Government gives free TO actual set
tiers are telling the story today TO
their friends. They have proven N.
statements made through these col.
nmEs. and by the Government Agents,
They have produced from their land
twenty. thirty. forty and O bush
els Of wheat to the acre. and ne,ted
profits ranging from three TO ten and
more dollars on every acre TILED.
They have found the climate fully o.
good as they were told II would be.
tchools were convenient and easily or
eanizod. railways were no far dis
tant. and markets close ~ hand. The
social conditions were such as they
chose TO make them. and law and
order were observed. Many OF them
bough, land, because II was low.pricei
and good. and hundreds Of cases could
be cited where the purchase price OF
the land was paid ont OF the first crop.
The writer knows OF cases this year
where tho farmer. as a result OF the
yield on his farm. was pu, In a posi-.
ton that would enable him 10 increase
his holdings three extra acres for
every acre cropped and pay cash for
II. Is II any wonder that n grows
enthusiastic when speaking about
Western Canada.
But what may be- said Of this year.
We are o In q position 10 speak 70.
gariing II. The conditions throughout
Manitoba and the new provinces OF Al.
bcrta and Saskatchewan have been re.
markedly favorable. Had conditions
been no better than In past years
there would have been every cause for
con%sratula,ion. We And. though. all
previous records broken. and that from
n four million acre crop Of wheat there
will be n hundred million bushels
OF u yicld-or 90 bushels to tho acre.
Could anything better be desired?
Covering the entire country the same
splendid reports are being received.
Tho following dispatch was sent by
Mr.. J.. W. Thompson. Vice President
OF the Ogilvie Milling Co. one Of the
most careful grain men In America;
Have Just returned from covering
fevcral hundred miles OF the crop
district. ! never saw anything like
Il In this country before, The average
yield and quality far exceeds our
earlier expectations. II Il an immense
crop The weather IL extremely 10.
vorable" Up TO three weeks ago II
was Mr., Thompson's opinion that the
crop would not reach general expec,a.
tions.
', W. Thompson sends another tele.
gram from Winnipeg tonight. saying
that his estimate Of the wheat crop
Is now n hundred million bushels.
Before he went west he thought II
would fall considerably shor, OF that
figure.
The moral Of this story Is that there
should be no hesitation In making A
decision II you wish to better your
condition; or. f'you have a family OF
boys that you wish to become settled
on farms. 1t is a safe proposition to
call upon the nearest authorized Can.
adian Government Agent, and get par.
ticnlars az to most suitable districts
and railway rates.
