INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN
WEST.
Americans In Canada Not Asked to
Forget That They Were Born
Americans.

Farm produce today is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economies of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies In the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer a hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often affluence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one of
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had a crop-and splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
OF the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen TO. He had
come there from Montreal year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little Improvement 1t
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used
In its preparation. And brains count
in farming as well as Draw" Asked
how he liked il there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields
OF grain, this young French Canadian,
model Of symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, we like him-the
farmin'-well, don't we, Jeannette?"
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, in making a
new home in this new land Yes, we
come here wan year ago, and we never
farm before. Near Montreal me

when me want to, me can say to de

a good definition of independence.
Throughout trip of several hun
dred miles in the agricultural district
of Western Canada, the writer found
the farmers In excellent spirits, an
optimistic feeling being prevalent
everywhere. II will be interesting to
