Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT Ex.
HiBiT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES. VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload Of grain in straw. grasses
and other of the products Of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed In the
Coliseum. where the United States
land and irrigation exposition Is under
way. Those who are interested in
the Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one OF
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-.
sentative men there. who will be
pleased TO give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands OF that
country and most OF the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-.
dents OF the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
a great deal OF attention, and some
marvellous potatoes. carrots, turnips,
cabbage and cauliflower are shown.
II is true that the homestead area
Is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk OF that now to be had lies north
of the Saskatchewan river in a por.
tion OF the country known as the park
country. Here there is a large cuan.
tity of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar and willc..
Water is in abundance. hay is plenti.
ful and consequently fodder for ami.
mails Is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage OF farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
OF those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage OF their
brother. who Is not able TO secure fuel
and the other conyeniences OF the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won.
derful crop yields OF wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken of is being made,
is preparing reports or crops In the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for
distribution at the land show com.
mencing on the 18th OF November
and closing on Dec. Sth, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as they are published.
