With the European wheat fields
desolated. and the farming popula-
ton moro than decimated, there will
be for number OF years a demand for
food products that has not been ex-
perienced In the memory OF the pres
ent generation. EvegSone regrets the
horrible war that has Drought this
about. It's effects are felt not only in
Europe, but In every part OF the
American continent. Many lines OF
business have been hurt, but only
temporarily IL is hoped. Financial
stringency is being talked OF. There
is way OF overcoming these things.
and Western Canada offers the solu-
tion In It's immense agricultural area,
when the possibility OF retrieving
losses. making assured gains. and at
the same time becoming factor In
providing the world with the one
great equisite-wheat-is SO pro-
nounced that IL cannot be overlooked.
There arc several ways In which
excellent farming lands can be go
cured In the provinces OF Manitoba.
Saskatchewan or Alberta, and also
British Columbia
In the first place the Offer OF the
Dominion Government OF l60 acres OF
land free TO the settler ia something
not given by any other country. Con-
ditions OF settlement are easy. Live
upon the land six months In each year.
for period OF three years. cultivate
about thirty acres. and erect habit
able house. Instead OF cultivation.
the keeping OF certain number OF
head OF cattle will carry with II the
same value. Many OF these homo
steads may be had In tho open prairie
area. where every acre can be put
under cultivation, but To the man with
limited means. I'm tho park area. lying
north OF the central portion OF three
OF the provinces named, there In af-
forded the best chance. In this park
country are beautiful groves OF poplar
and willow. small lakes and streams.
and sufficient open area TO enable one
to go into Immediate cultivation for
crops OF wheat, oats. barley and fax.
any one of which does wonderfully
well, giving prolific yields. In due
time when more land In required for
cultivation. these groves may be cut
down Mt small cost. In tho meantime,
however. they have been valuable In
providing fuel and shelter for cattle.
which thrive wonderfully on tho wild
grasses that grow In abundance.
Another plan is to purchase from
some OF the railway companies who
hold large tracts, or from some re-
sponsible land company. The prices
asked are exceedingly low and the
terms easy. Whether one may decide
In tho park country tho land will be
found 10 be OF the same general tex
ture, a rich black or chocolate colorod
loan on n clay subsoil.
Again attention is drawn to tho fact
OF the great opportunities for farming
that arc offered in Western Canada
Already n number OF holders OF tracts
OF land there, who ara residents OF
the United States-business men, mer-
chants, lawyers, bankers-men OF fore
sight and keen knowledge OF busi-
moss, have decided 20 cultivate tho
lands they have been holding for
speculation and wait no longer for n
buyer TO turn up. They arc acting
wisely.
Canadian laws are as fair and Just
as can be found In tho civilized world.
Military service is not compulsory,
nor is there one ounce OF coercion
used. Anything that is given TO Great
Britain whether In money or men is
entirely voluntary. There Is no draft
ing nor conscription OF any kind. Al
ready over sixty thousand OF the
young men OF Canada have volun-
teered for service. and thirty-fve
thousand have gone forward, many OF
these having left their farms In their
love for Great Britain and n desire 10
fight for their country. As conse-
quence, many farms may be left un-
titled. Therefore Canada invites 9TH
ers 10 come In and take their places.
This then is the opportunity for tho
American who wishes 90 better his
own condltion.-Advertise
