.CANADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LAB0RERS
Offering .16O Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
nand that is made upon it for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
of labor famine. A novel means of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government ut Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Carada, by giving him
100 acres free as a homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been a big pro-
ducer of grain and it is estimated that
there is a shortage of over thirty thou
sand men. necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by SO many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
1t is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer Of this kind, to fill theiS places
on the land at once.
1t has been required In the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment .las been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers Is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 16O-acre farms, sat
.sfy the Government that he is work
ing for farmer and that time will ap-
ply as residence on the land filed for,
Just the same as If he was actually
living on it-Advertisement.

board a saving of about $780,.
100000 a year to the farmers of
the country in interest charges is
possible. 1t is likely that the in
terest will be even further reduced
as the new rural credit system
grows in age and experience.
From an agricultural standpoint.
the rural credit measure unques-
tionably is the greatest piece of
constructive legislation enacted in
this country since the days of the

In North Dakota the present
volume of farm loans is aoproxi-
mately $lOO,0OO,OOO bearing an
average interest rate of 8 40 per
cent. Thus it will be seen that the
saving in interest alone to the
farmers of North Dakota, based on
present volume of business, is
$3,7OO,O0O.
