The FAYETTE FALCON
GOING SOUTH. >"

Probably the states which lie east
of Texas and Oklahoma and south Of
the Ohio and Missouri Rivers have more
unused land for farming than can be
found in the Dominion Of Canada. True
Southern land is not subject to home
stead-but the supply of free farms is
getting short, even in Saskatchewan.
In almost every other particular the
South has the advantage.
"The South has cheap land, good
land, productive land. 1t has good
markets within easy reach. 1t has a
healthy climate there is more malaria
in some northern states than in
louisiana. 1t has a long growing
season, enormous crop possibilities,
fair railroad facilities, and the start of
a school system which can Oe develop
ed to any desired extent.
Finally though this, to be sure, is
purely local reasonable farmer who
settles in Western Canada gets pretty
