have been able TO add to this 16O acres
of land free, on conditions that are
easy. A resident in the Lloydminster
district in Saskatchewan who had
been farming in the States for some
time, took up a homestead in 1910, and
commenced breaking with oxen.
Two years ago he bought an adjoin-
ing quarter section and now has over
100 acres under cultivation. He says,
"As my circumstances improved, ! sold
the oxen and now have six head OF
horses, twelve head OF cattle, and have
always a bunch of hogs on hand.
"On an average have had yields OF
25 bushels of wheat, 65 bushels of oats,
and 40 bushels OF barley 10 the acre.

acres, | threshed 1.040 bushels OF
wheat. have made a success OF
mixed farming and would have no hesi-
tation in advising all who contemplate
making a new home to come to this
district. sell cream TO the Govern
ment Creamery here, and find at all
times a good market for live stock and
other produce"
This is but a modest statement OF
what q modest man can do In Western
Canada, and could be repeated OF hun
dreds OF others.
Scores of cases could be recited
where much more has been accom-
plished, and It is believed that with
moderate investment at the present
time, the cattle industry of Western
Canada will pay large interest.
The Minister of Agriculture Of Sas-
katchewan, in recent address, ven
tured the prediction that the Sas-
katchewan farmer who developed his
land along the lines OF general stock
breeding would make much more mon
ey and find far bigger return for his
efforts In ten years time than the
man who devoted his energies purely
and primarily TO grain raising. This
was the coming golden age of oppor-
tunity for the stockman and II was up
to the Saskatchewan man to get in
on the ground floor and prepare him.
self for the coming demand.
The close OF the war-would undoubt-
edly see a great demand for live stock
In Europe and II was only reasonable
to suppose that this demand would
have to be filled almost wholly by
American stockmen, both In Canada
and the United States. Europe was
slowly draining its rural districts not
only OF its beef and dairy animals but
was also using the finer breeding ami

Singing insects and reptiles are
great pets with the Japanese, and
many varieties are Gagged and trained
for the delight of their almond-eyed
masters, 1t being said that Crown
Prince Hirohito himself keeps a pri'

The Denver Alfalfa Milling &

offered reward of $500 to any

an idea for any practical, FEAST

hay. The employees at each of

scheme and we have no doubt
that when the next season opens
each of the five plants of this
company will be equipped to un-
load hay by machinery, which
will save the farmer much time

FARM LANDS ARE
LOOkIM6 UPWARD

Every man in this section ought
to understand that land in this
section of the country is at the
edge of the tremendous upward
movement in value and price.
Here are the reasons. There are
n& impending openings" of
government land to keep down
normal demand. Development
of the new lands by irrigation
is slow and expensive. So much
for the situation west of US.
East of US productive land is
now becoming prohibitively high.
1t is already out of reach to the
great majority of land investors.
With a diminished supply west
and high prices on the east, the
farm prices of Kansas, Oklahoma
and Nebraska are now much too
low. They would rise if there
were no other factors involved of
of the greatest Importance. Ag-
riculturally this section has GER
tainly ripened.
The men who till the soil have
perfected methods of cultivation
over the old days. There is a
change in rainfall, perhaps not
in volume. but certainly in even
distribution. There is also subtle
but unmistakable seed adoption
to this latitude and altitude. We
have taken over several plants
which are certain in wealth
production, the grain bearing
sorghums and alfalfa for instance
In cattle and hogs. we have
learned the business economical
ly, and passed out of the expert
mental era. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating thereof.
We are producing wealth with
less expenditure than the irriga-
tors of the west and with greater
return on the investment than
the occupants of the high priced
land of the east. We know this.
The rest of the country is yet to
discover it. They will not be
long in finding it out and when
they do, Colorado, Kansas and
Oklahoma will enter into an
epoch Of agricultural blessings
the like of which this world has
never seen before.
