THE BANKS
OF CANADA

The closing Of the year 1912 has
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses of the
Presidents and General Managers of
these institutions. Their reading il

manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters In q

thing of Canadian banking methods
know the stability Of these institu-
tions. and the high character Of the
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres.
ident Of the Union Bank of Canada,
whose branches are to be found In all
parts of the Canadian West, said:-
"A good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase In
land values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be a drawback when the value Is real
and convertible. We consider that q
business standing which Is strength
ings is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement Of credit for legitimate bust.
ness operations"
It will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise In the value
OF farm lands In Western Canada

derful producing qualities of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba.

is spoken of as a record yield, and this
is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-

have been reported many yields OF
from 35 to As bushels Of wheat to the

there would be balance of $1,000 per

satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
