OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE MISSED
Why Waltz Why Not Go to West
+ ern Canada Now?

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that latter the war we Will go
to Western Canada" It does not oc-
cur to those making the remark that If
they wish to secure lands In Western
Canada. whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go Is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will Increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
Is reasonable in price. There is no
question about what the land In Mari-
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what 1t will give under proper Gull
tiyation.
Farmers In Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be Cleaned
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
SIN the spring of 1916 half-section
Of land was offered for sale at $17.OO
per acre. There were 105 acres of
summer-fallow, which, because the
owner could not at the time find
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 1920 bushels
all told, grading No. 1, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about $2.OO) was $1.e0, which brought
the handsome total Of $6,720OO. Three
hundred and twenty acres at S17O0
equals $5,44O.O0, so that buyer, by
placing less than half Of the whole
under CROP would have made profit
Of 81 ,2S0.OO."-Robson Messenger,
Robson. Sask.
"That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses as well as make
handsome profit, Is the information
given by N. B. Davis. the manager.
The wheat yield was over $4,000 bush
els. OF twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. 1, and Mr., Davis has sold
over 1000 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to Inc
diana he will be big booster for AL
berta. "-Bassano Mail, Bassano, Alta.
oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
in last spring, for $3,8OO.OO. has
threshed $500 bushels Of wheat, which
is worth at present prices about
$4,000. He refused an offer or
S5,OOO.OO for the land after the crop
had been taken off."-Lethbridge Her
aid, Lethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop Of many farmers in West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
Coblenz, Sask.-W. A. Rose has
threshed an average Of 33 bushels per
acre and SO bushels Of oats.
Gleichen, Alberta.-Up to date 49,
812 bushels Of grain have been received
by local elevators, Of which nearly
1SO, 600 bushels were wheat. Seventy.
one cars Of grain have already been
shipped.
Stoop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed $500 bushels Of grain,
1900 bushels Of which were wheat,
grading No. / Northern. One field
averaged ~ bushels per acre, and a
large field Of oats averaged SO bushels.
