LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, it
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which 1t is we'll to face, that
,on the American side of the border,
Z there Is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion Of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
Z those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
J ley, fax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
,ures show that upwards of 10000
Americans located In Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which it will within a few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
Its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class Of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring Is opening up we'll,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but 1t is
still away below its earning capacity.
The immigration branch of the Domin.
ion Government has just published its
1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De-
partment of the Interior, Ottawa,
Canada, or any of the agents of the
Dominion Government, whose adver-
tisement may appear elsewhere in this
paper.
