125,0OO AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1919 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE

In a report Of the House Committee
(washington) appears the following:
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated. with six months leave
Of absence each year and most lsnisnt
regulations"
An Of which IL true and It is now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist In
Western Canada which. IN addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence Of these is found In the
letters contributed By some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner. South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district.
but what he says. applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta He says:
'T have seen six crops. four OF them
were first class. one Of them q very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last If
teen years show that Ais country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
Inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and In 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
a. good as have seen In this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture. 30 that I am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions.
that q, from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural In
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta win be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
In the world. We have good soil. good
water, and q good climate. and alto
gether Just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota. Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds OF letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can.
