to the high cost Of living. and doubtless
there u reason for 1t In many cases.
The middlenan may boost the prices,
combines may organize to elevate the
cost, but one cannot get away from the
fact that the demand regulates the
supply. and the supply regulates the
price. The price Of wheat-in fact, all
grains-as we'll as cattle, will remain
high for some time, and the low prices
that have prevailed will not come
again for some time.
After the war the demand for cattle.

Of Europe, will be keen. Farm educa-
tors and advisers are telling you to
prepare for this emergency. How much
better It can be done on the low-priced
lands Of today. on lands that cost from
ten to tweaty dollars per acre. than It
can on two and three hundred-dolla
an-acre land. The lands Of Western
, Canada meet all the requirements.
They are productive in every sense Of
the word. The best Of grasses can be
grown with abundant yields and the
grain can be produced from these soils
that beats the world, and the same may
be said Of cattle and horses. The cli-
mate Is all that is required.
Those who are competent to judge
claim that land prices will rise in value
from twenty to fifty per cent. This is
looked for In Western Canada, where
lands are decidedly cheap today, and
those who are fortunate enough to &C.
cure now will realize wonderfully by
means Of such an investment. The
giving away as free homesteads in the
provinces Of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta are of high class: they
are abundant In every constituent that
goes to make the most productive
soils. The yields of wheat, oats and
barley that have been grown on these
lands gives the best evidence of their
productiveness. and when backed up
by the experience of the thousands of
settlers from the United States who
have worked them and become wealthy
upon them, little more should be re-
quired to convince those who are seek
ing a home. even with limited means,
that nowhere can they secure anything
that will better equip them to become
one Of the army of industry to assist
In taking care Of the problem Of feed
ing the world. These lands are free
but to those who desire larger holdings
than 100 acres there are the railroad
companies and land corporations from
whom purchase can be made at rea-
sonable prices and information can be
secured from the Canadian Government
agent, whose advertisement appears
