initial price, to provide the world
with this necessity of life. Here Is
where Western Canada, with its vast
rich fertile plains. its low railway
rates, its exceptionally good shipping
privileges, its excellent climate, and its
perfect social conditions, has com
bination of advantages not possessed
by any other portion of the continent.
Furthermore, these lands, of unex-
celled quality, are extraordinarily
cheap, while for the man who does not
care to undertake farming on so extern
sive a scale there Is the free home
stead which offers him all the opportu-
nifty for which he Is looking.
The prospective purchaser will have
no difficulty at all In making n selec-
ton of fine piece of land, well To-
Gated and convenient to transportation,
which may he had for from SIS to $25
an acre, and tire railway companies or
other holders Of large tracts are al
ways glad to sell on easy terms. Or
If he desires a farm that is already
under cultivation and improved, many
such are to be had from farmers who
already have made comfortable for
tunes and are ready to retire.
1t Is not to the grain grower only
that Western Canada offers great op-
pOrtunities. If one wishes to go in for
cattle raising. there nre great stretches
of range land both free and for lease;
and in many sections of the country
there are the finest of grazing lands
that may be purchased ut very low
prices.

CULTIVATED CULTIVATE!
Produce More Food, But at the
Lowest Cost.

A trip through most of the grain
growing districts of Western Canada,
and information received from authen-
tic sources, reveals that the spring
seeding of wheat, barley and oats is
finished and the grain is having a most
rapid growth. Men of farming expe-
rience here say that the conditions are
similar to those years when there was
an abundant harvest reaped During
the past year number of new settlers
came into the country, and they will
undoubtedly have good crop this
year. This added to the normal acre
age, made considerably less by the
lack of labor owing to the number who
have gone to the front, will give a
fair general yield. 1t is surprising the
growth that this country is capable of
producing.
Wheat has this spring terminated
and shown three or four inches growth
In five or six days, and with anything
like favorable weather, harvesting
should commence about the 18th of
August, or little oTer one hundred
days from first seeding. Hundreds of
farmers throughout this vast country
paid for their entire holdings out Of
one years crop and 1t would not be
surprising If the same experience met
great many more this year.
The best authorities on the wheat
situation give it as their opinion that
for many years to come, wheat prices
will be high. They base their opinion
on scientific calculation and their
reasoning seems to be sound. Anyway,
1t Is quite evident that for some years
to come, the producer of wheat will
be amply rewarded for any effort he
may make to develop this branch of
agricultural industry. Money may be
made on the high-prced lands of the
wheat-growlng districts of the United
States, but it is n question If these
high-priced lands would not be more
profitably employed in other branches
of farming than in growing the smaller
grains, leaving 1t to lands just as pro-
ductive for wheat, less expensive to op-
