AMERICANS GROW

Testimony Proves FaISenesS of
Statements as to 0nerouS
Taxation and CONSUMPTION.

"The attempt to check emigration
from the United States to our prairie
provinces by publishing alarming state
ments about the enormous war taxes
that r being paid here-$500 on a
quarter section yearly-about forcing
young men to enlist for the war;
about the cold, no crops and any old
story that by their e%xtravagant bold
ness might influence men and women
from v%enturing north to Canada, is real
ly in the list of curios to our people.
Knowing the country, we can hardly
take it seriously. Our governments,
however, dominion and provincial, are
taking steps to expose the false state
ments that are being made, and there
by keep the channel open for continu-
ing the stream of settlers that has
been flowing to US for the past decade.
We have thought to assist in this
work. and to do so purpose giving,
from time to time, actual experiences
of Americans who have come to
Saskatchewan during late years. We
give the statements of two farmers in
this issue as follows

years l came to Saskatchewan in the

Briercrest. l have farmed this land,
1850 acres, ever since. l have had

of wheat that yielded 40 bushels to

per bushel.

acres) are about $32 a year. This COW

STATEMENT OF STEVE SCHWEITZ-
BERGER
l vas born in Wisconsin, but moved
with my parents when a boy to
Stephen Co, Iowa. l was there farm
ing for SO years. l sold my land then
for yer 5000 an acre. / moved to
Saskatchewan, and located near Brier-
crest in the spring of 1912. l bought
a half section of land. l have good
n~eighbors. I feel quite at home here
the same as in Iowa. We have per.
feet safety and no trouble in living up
to the laws in force. My taxes are
about s65 a year, on the half section
for everything.
I have had splendid crops. Wheat
in 1915 yielded me over so bushels to
the acre. That is more than I ever
had in Iowa and yet the land there
costs four times as much as it does
here. The man who comes here now
and buys land at $50 an acre or less
gets a bargain.
