A NEW TOWN
 EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
 SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents the growth of Central Canada. The statement was made not long since by railroad man who claimed to have made the remarkable discovery that such was the case. There is not a district of a fair amount of settle ment in any of the three Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but has it's school, and the railways have stations every seven or eight miles apart, around which group the towns, some large and some small, but each important to it's own district. Schools are largely maintained by pub lie funds and the expense of tuition is but a nominal sum.
 The final returns of the grain pro duction for Central Canada for 1909 is now in, and the figures show that the value of the crops to the farmers of that country is about 195 million dol lars, as compared with 120 million last year. American farmers or those who have gone from the United States, will participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State in the Union.
 One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth that comes to the farmers of Central Canada is seen in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. Some went to Great Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went to visit their friends in the States. The amount paid alone in transportation would be upward of two million dollars. Some make the trip every years. It need not be asked, Gan they afford it?" With crops yielding them profit of $20 to S25 per acre, and some having as much as twelve hundred or more acres, the question is answered. The Canadian Government Agents at diff ferent points in the States report that they have interviewed a great many of those who are now visiting friends in the different states, and they all ex- press themselves as well satisfied, and promise to take some of their friends back with them. There is still lot of free homestead land in splen- did districts, and other lands can be purchased at reasonable price from railway and land companies.
