NEW DISTRICTS AND
new RAILWAYS
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET.
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor Sir.-Doubtless
many Of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields Of Western Canada, where such
q large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. 1t is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat Yield
has been good; 1t will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
30 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
Of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice Of farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown--who
made net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price OF his
land. 30, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so we'll adapted to grain.raising,
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. It
Is now possible to secure 100 acres in
addition to the 100 acres as a free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for 1t.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.
THE development throughout West
