! Fine Exhibit of Farm Products.
| The feeling at the Mankato fair
was that the exhibit furnished by
the immigration department of the
provincial government of Province
of Manitoba was the finest exhibit
of farm products ever shown in this
vicinity. The quality of the grain,
grasses and vegetables were much
superior to the product raised in this
community. The feature of greatest
| interest to stock men, were the wild
pea vine and the wild vetch, a va
riety of grasses which grow on the
unbroken prairie of Manitoba, which
has feeding qualities equal to the
Kentucky blue grass. ]. B. Shuffield,
a drover of Chicago, who visited the
fair grounds stated that the market
stock fattened on this grass sold at
one cent pound premium without
stall feeding. A. S. Black was in
charge of the exhibit and stated
that there is absolutely no war tax
on land whatever, and that no Cana
dian is forced to go to the European
war, excepting those who are mill
tary reservists, and hearty invita-
ton is extended to all Americans to
make Manitoba their home. They
will receive just treatment and there
will be no interference in crossing
or recrossing the internationl bound
airy line regardless of nationality.
Mr.. Black states that well inn
proved land, having advantages of
consolidated schools, rural free de-
livery and public telephone can be
purchased for $25 per acre on long
easy terms Of payment, besides
thousands of splendid homesteads
available which may be obtained by
payment of $40 as an entry fee.
The quality of this land is equal to
any land on the American continent.
The fare from Mankato to Winnipeg,
the capitol, is only $3.50.
The average yield in 1915 on fall
wheat was thirty-one bushels per
acre, spring wheat 1858 bushels per
acre, and other grains and products
in accordance.
The Manitoba government has OPP
ened an Emigrant office at 439 Main
street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and 1923
Jackson street, st. Paul, MINI. Any
parties contemplating visiting Cana
da will do well to call at these Of
fees.
Mr. Black speaks in the highest
terms of the courtesies shown him
by the business men of Mankato and
the people of this community. Any
information or literature will be
given gladly to anyone interested in
this part of Manitoba if they will
call or write to Mr.. Black at 1923
Jackson street, st. Paul, Mimi.
