| Valley continue to flock to the
Canadian wilderness to take ur
homes under a foreign flag while
inviting and attractive opportun,
tiles for settlers are still open
on many of the reclamation pro
jects in the West. While there
has been decided falling off in
movement from this country in
to the North West Territories.
the number of our desirable
citizens who are leaving the
United States to take up farms
in Canada is large and efforts
should be made to divert them
to the several sections of our
own country where just as good,
II not better, opportunities exist
for the homeSeekers.
The National government is a
big land owner but it does not
advertise while Canada expends
large sums annually for this
purpose. Steps should be taken
at this time to acquaint the
homeseekers of this country
with the fact that within our
own border there yet remain
many desirable locations for
home builders.
Our great western region.
IN soil, climate and crop posi-
bllities is superior to the regions
farther north. It possesses bet
ter transportation facilities and
markets. it is under our own
flag and is occupied by our own
people. It's Development adds
to our national greatness and
strength. Potentially it is the
richest and most fertile agricul-
tural area in the world and it is
destined to become the center
of vast population which shall
represent the highest ideals of
American citizenship. No efforts
be spared to exploit it's
advantages and it's opportun-
tiles
Just at the present time the
construction of three national
irrigation projects has progress
ed to the point where settlement
is invited and large number of
farmers from the middle West
have already taken up new
homes thereon. The letters
received from them by the Stat |
of the Reclamation Ser
VICE at Washington indicate their
satisfaction in the change they
made and their abiding faith in |
5hewlsdOn of their choice in To-
cation. Two of these projects are
n Montana and one is in north
ern Wyoming. Nearly 100000
tcres divided in 40 and 80 acre
arms are now ready for home
seekers. These farms are open
o settlement under the home
stead act, subject to the provis-
ons of the Reclamation law.
The soil and climate are such

hese projects is rewarded by
anger returns than in humid
