WHAT PRESIDENT TAFT AND
OTHERS THINK OF CANADA.
Another Fat Year for the Canadian
West.

D
sources go TO show that the total yield
OF 1909 will be far above that OF any
/ other year.
II is estimated that s100,000,000
will this year so into the pockets OF
the Western farmers from wheat
alone, another $50, 100000 from oats
and barley. while returns from other
crops and from stock will add s40,-
/ 100000 more. Is it any wonder then
that the farmers of the Canadian
West are happy?
/ Thousands of American farmers
I have settled in the above mentioned
l provinces during the past year; men
who know the West and fits possibili.
ties, and who also know perhaps bet
/ ter than any other people. the best
methods for profitable farming.
President Taft said recently In
I speaking OF Canada:
we have been going ahead so rap
/ Idly in our own country that our heads
have been somewhat swelled with the
Idea that we are carrying on our shoul-
/ ders all the progress there is in the
I world. We have not been conscious
I that there is on the north a young
country and young nation that is
I looking forward, as it we'll may, to
great national future. They have
1000, 600 people, but the country Is
sull hardly scratched"
Jas. ]. Hill speaking before the
Canadian Club of Winnipeg a few days
ago said:
Il so hack for IS years, when l
g. me West from Canada At that time
Canada hsd no Northwest. A young
bGy or man who desired to carve his
sv1 way had 20 cross the line. and
to-day il may surprise you-one out
Of every Eve children bora in Canada
lives in the United States. Now you
are pisyinZ the return match, and the
Northwest is getting people from the
United States very rapidly. We
brought 100 landseekeTs, mainly from
iowa and Southern Minnesota, last
nsght sut OF St Paul, going TO the
Northwest Now. these people have
all the way from five, ten to twenty
tAonsan& dollars each, snd thsy win
make as much progress on the land in
are year as any one man coming from
t1e Continent & Europe can make, do
ing the best he can, in ten, fftesn, or
tVenty pears"
II is evident from the welcome
gwen American settlers in Canada
that the Canadian people appreciate
them Writing from Southern Alberta
recently aa American farmer says
We are giving them some new
ideas abSEf being good farmers, and
they Ars giving us some new ideas
about being good citizens. They have
law against taking liasuzr into the
Indian Rsservatioa- One Of our fel-
lows was caught On reservation with
bottle en- him. and il cost him $50.
One Of the Canadian Mounted Police
found him, and let me tell you. they
find eve-yone who tries TO go up
against the laws Of the country.
On Saturday night. every har-roccn
Is closed. al exactly o'clock WHY,
Because IL Is the Law, and it's the
same with every other law. There
isn't a bad man in the whole district,

how TO ran frontier; they have GER
tairly taught US s lot
On the other hand. we are running
their farms for them better than any
other class Of farmers guess
can say this without Boosting. and the
CAsn6iArs appreciate US. We turn
0nt 10 celebrate Dominion Day; they
are glad 10 have US help to farm the
country; they know how to govern;
We know how 10 work"
