SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began TO talk
land before the train was well out-of
the c. N. r. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop. the
system of summer following pursued
in the semi-arid districts, we're all
discussed, and then, with sort Of
Rpologetic smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men;down home
got few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up In Canada be.
FORE cit is curious how these mid
western Americans pronounce the
name Of the Dominion as II 1t was
"Can'dy")-"but II It looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
"You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-Quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been go
ing on In his mind for. some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell-can
get $40 or $50 an acre for 1t, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us 81 and $12, so
that a man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
ut isn't the money, though, that
brings most Of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is a family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and 60 into the big
cities Of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes 1t easier for
the farmers back there In Iowa to get
land for the stay-at.homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept tc-
gether, too. There won't be any slack.
ening Of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back In Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process Of this typical American farm
er in defending step that meant q
new flag,s a new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To aban'
don Old Glory of the Declaration Of
independence for a good thing In
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas-
katchewan to keep the family togeth-
err" was another and a quite higher
motive.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? It is enough
to know that the sons Of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime
sota-the best blood of the midwest
are pouring into the Canadian west in
an ever-increasing stream, and are
learning that God Save the King" and
my Country IT'S Of Thee" are sung
to the same tune.-Toronto (Ontario)

It will pay to fatten the poultry be-

Butter stocks in storage are much

No good, capable man likes the idea

A good way to improve your stock

rooster you have or can get, and raise
chickens from them.

running with the cows is far better

Early in the spring, before the pas

Pork prices are not yet low, but

of late that farmers are holding on

After awhile they may wish they had

The demand for honey is increasing
