THE EVIDENCE
 IN THE CASE
Results Following Settlement Show That Conditions in West ern Canada Are Highly
 Satisfactory.

Until a few years ago MT. Henry Lohmann lived at Efhpgham, III. He thought he would better his condition in a new country, where he would have wider scope for his farming op- erations. It would not seen. essential to refer to MT. LOhlnann, at this par ticular time, as of German blood, hut for the fact that so many false state ments have gone out as to iii treat ment of Germans in Canada.
 Writing from Willmont, Sask., un- der date of January 30, 1916, MT. Loh- mann says:
 We are perfectly satisfied in this country. ana doing well up here.
 T bought a half section of land and took up a homestead, my three sons also took houesteads, two of them buying each l60 acres of land as well. sold my homestead. and l and one of my sons own a threshins outfit.
 "The crop this year was good; the oats vert s0 to 90 bushels per acre. and wheat went 4O to 50 bushels and the price is fair
 Sam Morrow. of Millet. Alta, in writing to Mir. J. NJ. MacLachlan, Ca nadian government agent at Water town, s. D., says: Il am well pleased with the country The climate is bet ter than l ever thought it could be so far north: ideal climate for stock. l have some colts and cattle that nave not been inside of stable in four years consider this a fine country for mixed farming. I know of farm CTS around here who had 42 bushels O. barley to the acre and 55 bushels of oats to the acre"
 Jacob Goetz of Piapot, Sask.. had 43 acres of wheat from which he got 1900 bushels. and got an average Of 8 bushels of oats to the acre.
 Golden Prairie. Sask.. is g district largely settled by South Dakotans. Horace Blake is one of those. He says: The crops of 1915 were i'm meuse"
 Wheat in his locality went from 70 to 55 bushels per acre: oats about so bushels on an average. One hundred bushels of potatoes were grown on a quarter of an acre of land: twelve po- tatoes weighed % pounds. His horses run out all winter. and come in fat. He raised excellent corn, and fat tened hogs on 1t. He concludes an . interesting letter by saying: There are schools in every district. The people here are most all hustlers and are fast pushing to the front. When first came up here on almost every half section stood little 12xIi shack. now almost everyone has real modern houses and barns" Some Southern Alberta yields for 1915:
