No War Tax on Land-EmbargO
on Shipment Of Live Stock
Removed.

During the prevalence OF the loot
and-mouth disease in some portions OF
the United States, an embargo was
placed upon interstate shipments
This also had an effect upon snip
ments to Canada, and necessarily an
embargo was placed upon them max
ing 1t almost impossible Tor upWn'us
OF a year to ship cattle into Cahaua'
from the United States This was es'
/ pecially hard on the settler. AS re-
suit, Western Canada lost a number OF
settlers. they being unable to tahe
their live stock with them. Canada ID
practically free from horse and catue
diseases, and the wish OF the authorl-
ties is to keep It so.
Recently, though, an ordel has oeeh
issued by the Department ot Agricu'
ture. removing the embargo ana seI-
tiers are now free to take IN the mum
Der OF head of horses or cattle that are
permitted by the Customs authorities
and the freight regulations. This VIII
be welcome news to those whose IN
tention II Is to move to Canada taking
with them stock that they have had IN
their possession for six months, ana
which It 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 me-
upon the payment Of ten-dons' -
try fee and fulfilling the requisite llV-
ing and cultivation duties THESE
lands are we'll adapted to the GROWING
oC all the small grains. and BESIDES
having an abundance OF grass ana sur
icient shelter they are well adapted
to the raising of stock.
II one prepares to purchase land
!here could be no better time than the
present. Prices are low, and particu-
lars may be had from any Of the land
companies, OF which there are several.
or from the Canadian Pacific and Ca
madam Northern railways, whose hold
ings are I'm the older settled districts,
and whose terms are exceedingly easy
to the settler What these lands VIII
do in the matter of production cannot
be more strongly emphasized than In
reading the reports OF the crops
throughout all parts of the Canadian
West in 1915. Yields of so, 60, and as
high as 20 bushels of wheat to the
acre were numerous, while reports of
yields OF from 30 to 40 bushels per
acre were common Oats as high as
1870 bushels per acre are reported, 30
and 60 bushels per acre being ordi-
nary The prices realized by farmers
have placed most Of them on easy
street"
Lately there have appeared articles
IN a number of United States news
papers to the effect that there was con.
in Canada, or that such a
aw was likely TO be put into effect.
We have it from the highest authority
n the Dominion that there is no truth
n the statement. Sir Robert Borden
It the opening of Canadian parliament
m January 18th, said:
"In the first few months of the war
clearly stated that there would not
le conscription in Canada. | repeat
hat statement today"
This statement should set at rest
he conscription talk that has been so
reely used to influence those who may
e considering settling in Canada dur
1g the war.
II has also been said that there was
war tax on land. Hon. DR. Roche,
Iinister of the Interior, over his own
ignature has denied this, and the pre-
HERS of the different provinces Join
! saying such report is absolutely
ntrue, and has no foundation what
YER in fact, nor is there likely ever
, be any such tax upon land in
anada"
The general prosperity of Western
anada farmers and business institu.
ons is such that Canada is well able
take care of the extra war expenses
ithout any direct war taxation. This
rs been well illustrated by the mag.
fcent response to the Dominion Gov
recent bond issue, which
as more than doubly subscribed for
thin the first eight hours of its be-
g offered to the public.
