AS wheat a be grown at $3.50 per

in and year out the yield and price
are twenty bushels at 60 cents, the
profits are $3.50 per acre.
AS live stock doubles every three
years and grows like wheat while the
farmer is sleeping, we expect that this
will always be one of the leading feat
ures of the agricultural industry. AS
the Pacific coast or warm winds melt
the snow in Alberta almost as rapidly

live out on the open prairie the entire
