EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE m
FARM LANDS.
SOUTHERN ALBERTA IS
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of a country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15'08.
"Mr. c. ]. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 135 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections Of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead ad-
Joining. We fenced three sections and
he two homesteads, and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
ngs. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
IF two years ago the winter wheat
Killed out somewhat, and our crop
Yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
% the acre. In this country we must
De prepared for storms and cold, at
lines 30 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
here are exceptional crops, it is fair
o say that the average farmer can
depend on having yield in average
years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from Is to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over SO in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and a little over. Pork brings 5 and
cents a pound. We have about 80
head of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
20 the straw stacks for shelter at night.
1.-THE increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next IS
months Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
Tor any man or woman who loves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.
yours very truly,
