CORN PLANTING IS
OVER
THAT CANADIAN TRIP SHOULD
NOW BE TAKEN.

II you had intended going to Cam
ada for the purpose OF purchasing
land on which to establish home and
accompanying some land company,
whose holdings you proposed to look
over or to go up on your own account
to select ono hundred and sixty acres
OF land free, you should delay no
longer. Complaining is over, your
wheat crop is well ahead, and you
have 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,

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

have been necessary last year. Still
1t is worth 1t. SO 1t will be with you.

this there will be upwards of one

who may come from the northern
countries of the Continent. These oil

reader does not require an answer to
the questions, why do they do it?"
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-five mil

the tiller Of the soil in Central Canada
is making money and 1t is safe to say
that he is making more money than
can be made anywhere else on the
Continent in the growing of grains.
He gets good prices. he has a sure and
heavy crop, he enjoys splendid rail
way privileges, and he has also the
advantages Of schools and churches
and such other social life as may be
found anywhere. It Is difficult to say
what district Is the best. Some are
