Results Following Settlement
Show That Conditions In West
ern Canada Are Highly
Satisfactory.

Until a few years ago MIR. Henry
Lohmann lived at Effingham, Ill. He
thought he would better his condition
in new country, where he would
have wider scope for his farming OPP
eratiOns. 1t would not seem essential
to refer to Mr. Lohmann, at this par
ticular time, as of German blood, but
for the fact that so many false state
ments have gone out as to i'll treat
ment of Germans in Canada.
Writing from Wi1lmont, Sask., un-
der date of January 80, 1916, Mr.. Lob
mann says:

my sons own threshing outfit
THE crop this year was good; the
bats went 80 to 80 bushels per acre,
and wheat went 40 to so bushels and

Golden Prairie, Sask., is a district
largely settled by South Dakotans.
Horace Blake is one of those: He
says: "The crops of 1915 were i'm
mense-"
Wheat in his locality went from 40
to SIS bushels per acre; oats about so
bushels on an average. One hundred
bushels of potatoes were grown on a
quarter of an acre of land; twelve po-
tatoes weighed 80 pounds. His horses
run out all winter, and come in fat.
He raised excellent corn, and fat
tened hogs on it. He concludes an
interesting letter by saying: There
are schools in every district. The
people here are most all hustlers and
are fast pushing to the front. When
l first came up here on almost every
half section stood little 12x14 shack,
now almost everyone has real modern
houses and barns"
