TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
aToronto STAR Dec. 10Th, 1910.

| TORONTO otaTI' Bccs lptHf lblVs
The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba. Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia viii have
ten million people. II is made not by
sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. II Is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat-growlng capacity OF the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
OF development following the build
ing OF railways. The writer shows
how the position of leading wheat
market OF the world passed from
Milwaukee 10 Minneapolis and thence
70 Winnipeg. Canada's wheatgrow-
ing belt is four times greater than
THAI OF the United states, and only
nve per cent OF Canada's western agri-
cultural area Is under cultivation.
There are 170,0O0000 acres Of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous. more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become, The
center OF food supremacy will change
to Canada, and 20 years more Will
give this country 100000 popula.
ton west OF Ontario.
All these estimates OF population
are IN the nature Of guesses. and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area of wheat.growing land,
the rapid construction OF railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production Of an
everincreasing surplus OF wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the Industrial and commercial
population Of Canada may increase,
the increase Of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production Of wheat; for a sin
gle acre Of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead Of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is overtaking produc-
tion, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. 1t Is
true that the limit OF actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
By methods OF intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overfiowing granary Of Can
ada so close at hand, It seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to inn
port from us. turning their own en-
ergles more largely to other forms Of
agriculture.
It must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem-
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
q corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm IN
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best of bond of any government or
bank. It is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize
a profit of from IS to $40 per acre.
There are thousands Of free home
steads Of 100 acres each still to be
had, and particulars can be obtained
by writing your nearest Canadian gov
eminent agent.

Not Afraid Of Trade.

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the dow

not seem to be alarmed at the threat

in which she lives by tradespeople.
She says that she has no intention of
giving up her house although the city
may cut down her front fence and mar
row her lawn to widen the street. Miss
Helen Gould lived in the neighbor-
hood, where her father had had his
home for long time after trade had
crept in, but she finally had to move.
