BACK TO THE OLD SOD.

Clarence J. Blanchard, statistician
OF the reclamation service, who is
at present at work in Montana, says
the Reno Gazette, reports that many
recent settlers have returned from
Canada after attempting to farm to
advantage in that region. Some Of
of these persons told Blanchard that
practically every American farmer
In the neighborhood of Alberta, where
the Canadian government maintains
an irrigation system, was anxious to
get back If he could sell his hold
ings in the Dominion" Over $4,000
have returned in the past nine
months.
This report has been sent by Blanch-
ard to Washington, and 1t is the du-
ty of the authorities at Washington
to tell 1t to the country.
The story of disappointed Americans
making their way home from Cana
da Is not new. Railway officials have
told it before and SO have the news
papers In Minnesota, North Dako-
ia, Montana and other states of our
northern tier. A great many Amer
leans have been selling their farms
In our northern and northwest
ern states and taking up cheap lands
in western Canada. The Dominion au-
thoraties have been reporting this
movement for several years, and have
been gleefully computing the great
additions to the wealth and popnla-
ton of their country which this mi
grafton of Americans brings them.
But the Canadians neglect to tell
about streams of disappointed Am
orleans who are leaving Canada and
returning to their own country. Our
own officials ought to fill this gap
in the story. Through the advertise
ments of the government at Ottawa
and Of the Canadian railways and
immigration societies the attractions
largely extravagant or bogus, of west
ern Canada have been spread al
over the United States. but chiefly
In the states Just below the Domin
ion boundary. The tales have sent
tens of thousands of Americans In
to Manitoba. Alberta, British Colum
bia and other provinces in the past
half dozen years. Lured into an al
len climate and environment, ant
virtually compelled to renounce allie
glance to their own country, the dis
appointment which has come to man.
was natural. To large extent tn,
Canadians have been playing a conf
dence game on American farmers
and the facts are coming to light. Ii
the interest Of the other tens of thou
sands who may be duped by Canada
romancers unless the truth Is Sc
before hmte. the government at Was
ington should give wide publicity t
the reports of the returning Amer
cans and to the testimony Of America
