GOVERNMENT HELPS
VIII Distribute Seed Grain to Farmers
Who Failed.

VIII Distribute Seed Grain to Farmers
Who Failed.
A grain famine in Alberta and Sas-
katchewanl
The Canadian government is spend
ing today $4,000,000 in furnishing seed
grain to the farmers of Alberta and
Saskatchewan, because the late spring
last year froze so much of the grain
that it is unfit for seeding purposes.
The two provinces produced about
100000 bushels of wheat and oats,
but the loss has been enormous be-
cause of the frost bitten grain and
many farmers are on the verge of
restitution this winter.
Regina is the headquarters for the
disposition of seed grain, which is the
most stupendous government distri-
button since the settlers of Kansas APP
pealed to the eastern states to aid
them in tiding over the grasshopper
panic and drouth of 1SS9-90.
Forty per cent of the settlers of the
Canadian northwest are Americans
from the states of Iowa, Ohio, Illinois,
Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas.
How many they number is almost be-
yond calculation. Probably $4,000
families in Alberta and Saskatchewan
J is low estimate. More than 10000
Americans emigrated to Canada in
|, 1906 alone, carrying belongings valued
at some $5O,OO0,0O0, and it is believed
that more than 100000 settled there
: during the past year. Thousands spent
their last dollar settling there.
1t was either government aid or a
! crash.
1 If the settlers could not pay their
e bills and replant their lands, it was
the end. The tide would have turned
!. away The newness of the land and
n the unpreparedness OF the settlers
!, made government aid imperative.
= This money will be considered as g
, loan. The farmers who take advantage
= of it will get seed grain at cost, ans
- will pay 8 per cent interest on thu
