INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
riouS of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been a fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall. which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada,
it is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions of the agricultural districts of
Western Canada, and also reports of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal of this is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
of men of experience, there are farm
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain of paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands Of
acres of land waiting for the husband
man to bring it forth with crop. it
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist-
Seventy million dollars is a con-
sentative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
of the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities of
supplies for cash.
The total value of exports to Eu-
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started.
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results of the demand
of the allies for war and other material
is beginning to be felt in the financial
life of the Dominion. There is marked
activity in many commercial liues. and
conditions are fast becoming normal

tive benefit to the East--Advertise-
