PLANTING IS
OVER
That CANADIAN TRIP SHOULD
NOW BE TAKEN.


Il you had intended going to Cam
ada for the purpose Of purchasing
land on which to establish a home and
accompanying some land company,
whose holdings you proposed to look
over or to go up on your W account
to select one hundred and sixty acres
OF land free, you should delay no
longer. Complaining is over, your
wheat crop is we'll ahead, and you
have a few weeks time before you are
required In the fields again. Now
make your intended trip. Reports
at hand show that the crop prospects
in Canada were never better than
they are today. The cool weather has
not affected the crop, but II anything,
1t has been a benefit. There has been
plenty Of moisture and those who
have had their land properly prepared
look upon this year as likely to be one
of the best they have had. "A great
many are going up this season who
expect to pay two or three dollars an
acre more than they were asked to
pay last year. Others who wish to
homestead are prepared to go farther
from the line of railway than would
have been necessary last year. Still
1t is worth 1t. So 1t will be with you.
| Next year lands will be higher-priced
and homesteads less accessible. There
is a wonderful tide Of immigration to
Central Canada now. 1t Is expected
that one hundred and fifty thousand
new settlers from the United States
will be numbered by the end OF the
present year, an increase Of fifty per
cent over last year. In addition to
this there will be upwards Of one
hundred thousand from the old coun-
try, which does not include those
who may come from the northern
countries Of the Continent. These all
intend to settle upon the land. The
reader does not require IN answer to
the questions, "Why do they do tt?'
why are they going there In such
large numbers?" Western Canada Is
no longer an experiment. The fact
that one hundred and fifty million
bushels of wheat were raised there
last year as against ninety-f,ve mil
lions the year previous, shows tha'
the tiller of the soil In Central Canals
is making money and 1t is safe to sa!
that he is making more money thai
can be made anywhere else on thu
Continent in the growing OF grains
He gets good prices, he has a sure ant
a heavy crop, he enjoys splendid raj
way privileges, and he has also tn
advantages Of schools and churche
and such other social life as may b
found anywhere. 1t is difficult to sa
what district is the best. Some ar
preferred to others because there ar
friends already established. TIL
Grand Trunk Pacific, on its wa
across the Continent, is opening up
splendid tract Of land, which is bein
taken up rapidly. The other railway
the Canadian Pacific and Canada
) Northern are extending branch line
into parts inaccessible a couple {
years ago. With a perfect networ
of railways covering a large area {
t the agricultural lands it is not DIFF
!, cult to secure a location. Any agel
r of the Canadian Government will |
: pleased to render you assistance /
advice and suggestion, and a goo
plan is to write or call upon hiI
The Government has located the
d agents at convenient points throug
out the States, and their offices a
