INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one Of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
OF all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, big margin of profit.
OF course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and fax marketed to the 1st Of
January, 1912, there was gross rev.
enue of $75,3S4000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to $101 100000 or 21 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 95 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-flve mil
lion dollars (allowing for inferior
grades), besides about 100 million
bushels Of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and fax, which would run into sev-
eral million of dollars.
There is great thrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards Of 131, 900 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
Of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go SO far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with reasonably early spring, 1t
is safe to predict record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure copy.
