$4,000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE or OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
sETTlEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
sre that upwards OF ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
Into Western Canada during the past
year, most Of them for the purpose OF
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands. 160 acres Of which are
given free by the government. and
lands adjoining held by railway and
and companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even II thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully.
and at these higher figures there il .
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand GET
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand Of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be reason for It. It may be
found In the single phrase, they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case Is always
satisfactory. The splendid land Of
Iowa. Of Indiana. Of Nebraska, Kansas.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. Ohio
and other States has risen to q high
value. and It is worth every dollar
asked for It. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain.
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in position
to supply 1t. Land there that costs.
say fifteen dollars an acre. produces
on reasonable calculation, % bushels
Of wheat to the acre. or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving balance of $12.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area Of
about 100000 square miles. it is read
lily understood why $4,000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points In
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands. ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would

from the Alps three centuries ago. But
