NO CONSUMPTION
IN CANADA
No War Tax on LaRd-Embargo
on Shipment of Live Stock
Removed.

During the prevalence of the foot
hnd-mouth disease ia some portions of
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 upou them, max
ing it almost impossible for upwards
of a year to ship cattle into Canada.
from the United States. This was es-
pecially hard on the settler. AS a re-
suit, Western Canada lost a number of
settlers, they being unable to take
their live stock with them. Canada is
practically free from horse and cattle
diseases, and the wish OF the authori-
ties is to keep it so.
Recently, though, an order has been
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, removing the eInbargo, and set
tiers are now free to take Ri the num-
Der of head of horses OF cattle that are
permitted by the Customs authorities
n the freight regulations. This will
be welcome news to those whose in
tentlon it is to move to canada, taking
with them stock that they have had in

which it is the intention to use on land
that they will farm ia the Provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta.
There are thousands of splendid
homesteads of 100 acres each in any
OF these provinces tkat may be had
upon the payment Of a teIndoRar en-,
try fee and fulfilling the requisite liv.
ing and cultivation duaies. These
lands are well adapted to the; growing
of all the small grains, and besides,
having an abundance OF grass, and suf-
ticient shelter, they are well adapted
to the raising of stock.
If one prepares to purchase land,
there could be no better time than the
present. Prices are low, and particu,
lars may be had from amy 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 thar in
reading the reports Of the crops
throughout all parts # the Canadian
West in 1915. Yields of SO, so; and as
high as 70 bushels of wheat to the
acre were numerous, wixae reports Of
yields of from so to IS bushels per
acre were common. Oats as high as
100 bushels per acre are reported, SO
and go bushels per acre being ordi-
nary. The prices realized by farmers

Lately there have appeared articles
in a number of United States news
papers to the effect that thereswasc con
scription in Canada, or that such a
law was likely to be put into effect.
We have it from the highest authority
in he Dominion that there is no truth
in the statement. Sir Robert Borden
at the opening of Canadian parliament
on January 18th. said:
In the first few months of the war
clearly stated that there would not
be CONSUMPTION in Canada. I repeat
that statement today"
This statement should set at rest
the CONSUMPTION talk that has been so
freely used to influence those who nay
be considering settling in Canada dur
ing the war.
1t has also been said that there was
a war tax on land. Hon. Br. Roche.
Minister of the Interior, over his own
signature has denied this, and the pre-
miers of the different provinces join
in saying such a report is absolutely
untrue, n has no foundation what.
ever in fact, o is there likely ever
to be any ruch tax upon land in
Canada"
The general prosperity of Western
Canada farmers nj business, institu-
tons is such that Canada is weliSable
TO take care of the extra war expenses
without any direct war taxation. This
has peer well illustrated by the mag
n~iffcent response to the Dominion Gov
ernment's recent bond issue. which
