A PRIZE winner
Highest Premiums Awarded at
Many Exhibitions.

The Fail fair season is past and
retrospect of them shows that Western
Canada is stronger than ever in the
matter of exhibits, and has taken more
than her usual share of the prize
money. From Western Canada to
Texas is long look, from Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the
southwestern corner of Texas is sew
eral days Journey but the enterpriSing
farmers from this new country 10 the
northwest were wide awake to the
possibilities that waited them at the
International Dry Farming Congress
held at FL Paso, Texas, Il few weeks
ago, to bring to the attention OF those
in that far-oif corner what the land Of
Western Canada could do in the pro-
duction of grains and roots from its
soil. And what did these farmers do?
The first thing was to carry OFT the
first prize and sweepstakes for wheat.
That was Il foregOnc conclusion, for it
has nowbeCome an established fact that
nowhere else in the world is there
market value of Western Canadian
wheat. The same may he said of oats,
of barley and of rye. But when it came
TO notice that Western Canada took
! first prize for alfalfa, it was then that
more special attention was given to
the products from Western Canada. 1t
showed that in that country there lies
the opportunity for supplemcnting the
wonderful native grasses, so full of nu-
triton that with the tanned varieties,
| with no other food were futtcned and
| fitted for the SHAMELESS. Western Can
| ada'S worth was proved as probably
| the greatest mixed farming portion of
| the continent. When the steers from
| the Western Canadian prarieS reach
the Chicago stockyardS they bring
| the top price and outweigh those from
! other places where grass fattening is
| the process. But it was not only in
| grains that Western Canada carried
off the highest horrors ut the I'll Paso
| exhibition. Potatoes, parsnps, bects
| carrots and rutabagaS also took the
! highest honOrS. In root production
this country is becoming fayorably
| known.
The question often arises rs to mar
! kctS. There is always the highes
| price awaiting the producer, and rs
soon as the Hudson Bay Railway, now
about completed, reaches the Bay
there will be an additional outlet fol
the product of the farm. The Pacific
coast route Via the Panama canal, vii
| give another outlet of which full nd
vantage may bc taken. With virgin LAND

improved farms at reasonable price,
and on easy terms there Is no better
opportunity for the man with limited
! means and Il desire TO secure HON,
| at the least cost in country where
he can soon become wealthy as thou
sands Of others have done, than IN
