CLIMATE IS IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED ~
GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. II. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa. says: The climate
in summer IL ideal for growing grain.
Long. clear days OF sunshine, no bad
storms. We never need TO guard
against cyclones; never saw q better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season OF 1905 than
any previous ave years in central
Iowa--one Of the best districts In the
state" But Mr.. Ellwanger was a resi-
dent OF the town, and It might be more
interesting to read what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds OF letters all filled with
words Of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. II is as follows;
