WV -SA'sSSo
Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For O. time
there has been falling off, on account
Of the fear Of CONSUMPTION, which Of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
tion. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not 5e affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having it's influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crop has reached
the ears Of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. H. Beatty Of
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels of
wheat from II acres or an average Of
661a bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney E. Phillips Of Beddeford, Alberta.
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
621a bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field Of 25 acres, w.
Quinn Of Milk River had 1904 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry Of Nobleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average Of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from a
field of 1868 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield Of fifty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit Of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence Of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or ffty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a flax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
30 pounds per acre.
It cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for a farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only a few Of the reasons
that will cause large influx Of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
