There are thousands of young men

The allurements Of city life were at
tractive, until they faced the stern
reality. These people would have
done better had they remained on the
farm. Many of them, convinced of
this. are now getting back to the

afforded, than that existing in Western
Canada. Many of them have taken
advantage of it. and there are to be
found today. hundreds Of such. farm

Saskatchewan and Alberta. The con-
ditions that surround farming opera
tons today are SO much superior to
those in existence during their early
farming days, that there is an attrac-
ton about It. Improved machinery.
level and open plains, no rocks to
shun, no trees to cut down, but wide
stretches with mile-long burrows. ele-
vators to handle the grain, railways to
carry 1t to market. and bring almost
to their doors the things necessary to
operate. Splendid grazing areas. ex.
cellent opportunities for raising cattle.
These things are all SO different from
what they one we're that there is rea-
son to speak of the attractions. r. H.
Crossman of Kindersley, Saskatche-
wan, the man who won such splendid
prizes at the International Dry Farm
Ing Congress held at Tulsa, Oklahoma,
last fall, grew the prize grains during
his first year farming. Up to 1913 he
was an engineer and the only knowl-
edge he had Of farming was that OBJ
tanned when he was a boy. That was
very useful: In fact 1t was valuable

Il want you to see my lovely new

to a caller the other afternoon. my

and you open the compartments on

that, and you open the little pocket
and there is a cute little pocketbook
