One OF the most important factors
In the building of a new country ~
the attention that is paid by the ev

generation. Fortunately for wes,ero
Canada, the settlement of that ran,

that IL was able TO lay a foundation
for this work, gained by the exnar,
ence of older countries. In this waer
the very best is the result. Throueb

tary and advanced education than IN
western Canada. A report inst n
hand shows that in Calgary, Alberta
there are eighty teachers EMPLOYED
and the enrolment APPS pupils In
the Province of Alberta there was a
total of $4,000 pupils attending schools
in 1909. The total enrolment for the
year in city, town and village schools
was 22,883, and the total in rural
schools was 23,165. There are in the.
province $40 schools with 1923 do.
partments. At the close of 1909 there,
was total of 1,096 school districts in
the province. Great attention is maid
also to agricultural education. The
best uses of the soil and such other
matters as tend to make the agricul-
ture less Of drudge and more of a
success are employed. When there
is the combination of good SOIL splen.
did climate and healthy and advanced
ideas in the methods employed In
agriculture, we see accomplished the
results that have placed western Can
ada on its present high plane in the
agricultural world. There is to be.
found men of high standing in liter.
airy spheres as well as in financial
circles who are carrying on farming
not alone for the pleasure they de-
rive but for the profit they secure.
Mr.. Adler, wide-awake business man
Of New York, has a ranch near Strath-
more, Alberta. He is highly pleased
with his success the past year. He
says:
ION July 25th we estimated our crop
at 5000 bushels of wheat A week
later we increased our estimate to
10000 bushels. A few days later we
again increased our estimate, this
time to $4,000 bushels, but after har-
vest in September we found we had
20,150 bushels. If that isn't a record,
what is?' he asked.
This crop was made with practi-
cally no moisture he continued, "and
we now have a better opinion Of the
fertility of Alberta lands than ever
and value our lands higher than we
ever did before"
Mr.. Adler. who has been on the
ranch for about a week, leaves for
New York Saturday.
This gentleman is conducting farm
on a large scale, and has plenty Of
means to develop it, and his may not
be taken as fair case. There are
though, instances of thousands who
have begun life on small farms in
western Canada with but brains and
the. determination over and above the
couple of hundred dollars in ready
money that they possessed, and today
are owners of large farms and hand
some incomes, all the result of their
efforts on land that was responsive to
the touch of the hand that held the
pillow. Instances such as these can be
quoted if you will communicate with
the nearest Canadian government
agent, who will also mail you free de-
scriptive literature.
