WILL LOOK TO
CANADA FOR WHEAT
ONE REASON WHY AMERICANS
GO TO CANADA.

In the Chicago Inter-Ocean Of few
days since reference was made to the
fact that in 1909 the United States
raised 37,1S9, 900 bushels of wheat.
and last year grew only SOS, $4,000, a
decrease Of 41.746,000 bushels. The
article went on to say: True we
raised last year moro than enough
wheat for our own needs, bat It is APP
parent that II production continues to
decrease In that ratio we will soon
be obliged to look to other countries
for wheat to supply our rapidly In
creasing population"
The purpose of the article was to
show that reciprocity was TO be de-
sired. This is question that do not
propose to deal with. preferring to
leave 1t to others who have made a
greater study of that economic ques-
ton than have. The point to be
considered Is, with the high price OF
lands in the United States, and with
the much lower priced lands OF Can
ada. and their ability to produce prob
ably more abundantly, is 1t not well
for the United States farmer to take
advantage Of the opportunity Canada
affords with its lower-priced lands
and take part in supplying the needs
Of the United States, which It is quite

Mimi, October Gath, 1910, and thought
/ would let you know how 1 have been
getting along. We had a very mild
winter up to New Years, but since
then 1t has been quite cold and lots Of
snow. but not worse than that we
could be out every day working, even
though we had 65 below zero few
times, but we do not feel the cold
here the same as we did in Minnesota,
as 1t Is very still and the air Is high
and dry. This is splendid place for
cattle raising and mixed farming
There Is some willow brush and small
poplars on part Of the land, which is
rolling and covered with splendid
grass In the summer. Not far from
here there is timber for building ma
terial. There are only Norwegians
here, 6 Scotchmen, Germans. The
lake is 20 miles long and full of very
fine fish.
There is a lot Of land yet that has
not been taken and room for many
settlers, and we wish you would send
some settlers up here, as there are
fine prospects for them, especially for
those who have little money to start
with. Send them here to Turtle Lake,
and we will show them the land, If
they have secured plats, showing the
vacant lands, at the Dominion Lands
office in Battleford. Send us up some
good Scandinavians this spring"

General Morgans men.
