Sunny Southern Alberta,

Which is more profitable raising 20
bus. of wheat on $50 land. or 40 bus.
of wheat on $15 land. On half the
investment, to get twice the lesults;
not only that, but the expense of rails
ing 40 bus is very little more than
raising 20 bus, as every farmer knows.
If you raise 20 bus. to the acre and it
cost you Is bus. to raise it, and you
can raise 25 bus. for the same cost,
the net results are twice as much.
If you can 1aiso 80 bus, it is three
times as much.
We can sell you land in Southern
Alberta in what is known as the fam
uus Claresholm district for $15 an acre;
1.3 down and the balance in foe equal
annual payments with per cent in
terest.
Adjoining this land, we can show
you Improved finds; farms run by
practical American farmers who have
raised an average Of 40 bus. of wheat
and 100 bus. of oats to the acre this
season. 1905. Not five years ago, but
right now. The wheat is on the ground
and in the granari 5s. You can see
and talk to the farmers themselves.
We know of one field of wheat in
Clarisholm district, where they got an
average of 70 bus. to the acre. We
know of one field of oats that averaged
1877 bus. to the acre. This is machine
measure, and you understand that this
wheat tests 81 to 68 lbs. to the bu. and
the oats test 4s lbs. This would in
crease the yield one fifth. This does
not sound reasonable, but we can prove
it. We can show you heads of wheat
containing 131 kernels. The aver
age head of wheat in North Dakota is
about 81 kernels.
Last Spring. we bot 13O, 900 acres of
