of Avocourt- Malancourt, the Germans,
after a terrific bombardment made a
vicious infantry attack, in which

HIGH PRICES a.
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

It is no new experience for settlers
located in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt-
edly this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $1,000 an acre, with terms spread
over a period of years. He got the
land into a good state OF cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price Of it; in short
a single years crop paid the cost OF
the land, paid all the expenses of OPP
Grafton and left him q handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him a good living irrespective Of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is eX-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on a cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in com
merce with the United States. A
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth Of
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
~ disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:

Because Democratic Congress appropriated

Because Democratic Congress, acting upon a
