THE EVIDENCE
IN THE CASE
Results Following Settlement
Show That Conditions in West
ern Canada Are Highly
Satisfactory.

Until a few years ago Mr.. Henry
Lohmann lived at Eftlngham, III. He
thought he would better his condition
In a new country. where he would
have wider scope for his farming op-
erations. 1t would not seem essential
to refer to Mr.. Lehman, 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 Willmont, Sask., un-
der date of January 80. 1916, Mr.. Lob
mann says:
1--WE are perfectly satisfied In this
country, and doing well up here.
Il bought a half section Of land and
took up a homestead, my three sons
also tool homesteads, two OF them
buying each 100 acres of land as well.
I sold my homestead, and | and n or
my sons own a threshing outfit.
THE crop this year was good; the
oats went so to 90 bushels per acre.
and wheat went 40 to SO bushels and
the price is fair"
Sam Morrow, Of Millet, Alta. in
writing to Mr.. J.. M. MacLachlan. Ca
madam government agent at Water
town, S.. D., says: 9, am well pleased
with the country. The climate is bet
ter than l eyer thought it could be-
SO far north; ideal climate for stock.

Jacob Goetz OF Piapot, Sask.. had 43
acres Of wheat from which he got
1900 bushels, and got an average or
90 bushels of oats to the acre.
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 55 bushels per acre: oats about 50
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 saving: There
are schools in every district. The
people here are most all hustlers and
are fast pushing to the front. When
] first came up here on almost every
half section stood a little 12x14 shack,
now almost everyone has real modern
houses and barns"
