NO CONSUMPTION
IN CANADA
No War Tax on Land-Embargo
on Shipment Of Live Stock
Removed.

During the prevalence OF the foot.
and.mouth disease in some portions or
the United States. an embargo was
placed upon Interstate shipments.
This also had an effect upon ship.
ments to Canada, and necessarily an
embargo was placed upon them. maxi
Ing II almost impossible for upwards
OF n year TO ship cattle into Canada,
from the United States. This was es.
p~ecially hard on the settler. As n 70.
suit, Western Canada lost n number OF
settlers. they being unable to take
their live stock with them. Canada IL
practically free from horse aud cattle
diseases, and the wish OF the authori.
ties is to keep 1t 20.
Recently, though, an order has been
Issued by the Department OF Agricul-
ture. removing the embargo. and set
tiers are now free to take in the num-
Der OF head OF horses or cattle that are
permitted by the Customs authorities
and the freight regulations. This will
be welcome news to those whose In.
tentlon II Is to move 10 Canada, taking
with them stock tina. trey have had in
their possession for six months. and
which II Is the intention to use on land
that they will farm in the Provinces
Of Manitoba. Saskatchewan or Alberta.
There are thousands Of splendid
homesteads OF 100 acres each In any
OF these provinces that may be had
dpon the payment OF n t~cn.dollar en-
Try fee and fulfilling the requisite llv.
Ing and cultivation duties. These
lands are we'll adapted to the growing
Of all the small grains, and besides,
having an abundance OF grass. and SUI.
fcient shelter, they are we'll adapted
TO the raising OF stock.
II ono prepares TO purchase land,
there could be no better time than the
present. Prices are low, and particu-
lars may be had from my OF the land
companies, OF which there are several.
Or from the Canadian Pacific and Ca
madam Northern railways. whose hold
ings are in the older settled districts.
and whose terms are exceedingly easy
TO the settler. What these lands will
do in the matter OF production cannot
be more strongly emphasized than In
reading the reports OF the crops
throughout all parts OF tho Canadian
West in 1915. Yields OF 80. 60. and as
high rs 20 bushels OF wheat TO the
acre were numerous. while reports OF
yields OF from 30 TO As bushels per
mere were common. Oats as high as
100 bushels pcr acre are reported. 80
and 60 bushels per acre being ordi-
nary. The prices realized by farmers
have placed mosh OF them on easy
street"
Lately there have appeared articles
IN "a number OF United States news.
papers 10 the effect that there was con
scription In Canada. or that such q
law was likely TO be put into effect.
We have II from tho highest authority
IN the Dominion that there is no truth
In tho statement. Sir Robert Borden
at tho opening Of Canadian parliament
On January 18th, said:
I'm the first few months OF the war
I clearly stated that there would not
he CONSUMPTION IN Canada. I repeat
that statement today"
This statement should SGT Mt rest
the conscription talk that has been sc
freely used to influence those who may
he considering settling in Canada dur
Ing the war.
II has also been said that there was
n war tax on land. Hon. DR.. Roche,
Minister OF the Interior, Over his owr
signature has denied this. and tho pre-.
miers OF the different provinces Join
In saying such a report Is absolutely
untrue. and has no foundation what
ever In fact. nor Is there likely ever
10 be any such tax upon land In
Canada"
The general prosperity OF Western
Canada farmers and business institu-
lions is such that Canada is well able
to take care OF the extra wal expenses
without any direct war taxation. This
has been well illustrated by the mag
nifcCnt response TO .he Dominion Gov
ernmont's recent bond issue, which
was moro than doubly subscribed for
within tho first eight hours OF It's be.
