BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
so HARD.

The experience of the Bisser Bros.
in Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere:
"Wheatwyn, Sask.. Nov. 9Th, 1908.
To the Commissioner of Immigra-
tion, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
| l, IN company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1898. AT the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
SO we were compelled to work out for
considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money to start with, |
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteaGs with one tearl of
horses and one walking plow. While
l was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but | am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country To-day we do not need to
work SO hard as we used to- as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! l am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a % horse
power threshing outfit.
Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor.
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, | am
proud to say that We have always
had good success. We have raised |
wheat as high as 80 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf- |
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
bhfHpedr Q fegnigepef 6dsnsEe aaat q
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have quantity of wheat which Will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming |
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, SO that we always |
had a good crop.
Il, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing to work and |
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and comfortable living.
Our country is thoroughly free coun-
try and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops, |
and a good Government, we are satis- |
fed, and I think that is all we want.
yours very truly,
"LORENS BISSER,

ON COUNTRY LIFE
SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM WHITE
HOUSE TO CONGRESS.
President Suggests Social and Rusi.
ness improvements for the Bene.
fits of the DWeIler in Aeri-
cultural Communities.


ton.-Aeeompanyine the ra-
port OF the country life commission
the president sent a special message
TO congress, substantially as follows:
10 the Senate and House of Represent
atiVes: transmit herewith the report
OF the commission on country life. At
the outset desire to point out that not
dollar of the public money has been
paid to any commissioner for his work
on the commission.
Inc report shows the general condition
OF Farming life In the open country. and
points out its larger problems: 1t fndi-
Gates ways in which the government. ma
uonai and state. may show the people
now to solve some of these problems and
1t suggests continuance of the work
which the commission began
Those engaged in all other industrial
ana commercial eallings have found it
necessary, under modern economic con-
dftfons to organize themselves for mll-
tual advantage and for the protection of
their own particular interests in rela-
tfon to other interests.
Now, whatever the state NAV do to-
ward improving the practice of agri-
culture, it is not within the sphere of
any government to reorganize the farm
ers' business or reconstruct the social
life of farming communities. It is how
ever, quite within It's power to use its
influence and the machinery of publicity
which 1t can control for calling public at
tentfon to the needs of the facts. For ex-
ample, 1t is the obvious duty of the gov
eminent to call the attention of farmers
to the growing monopolization of water
power. The farmers, above ALL should
nave that power. on reasonable terms, for
eheap transportation. for lighting their
homes, and for innumerable uses in the
