EXCELLENT RETURNS

WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number Of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr.. G. Lacy, late OF
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis.
consin In the summer Of 1914 with
$500 available cash In his possession.
He rented half-section Of partly i'm
proved land In Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley. and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head Of young live stock: He was for
tunate In buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$1,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
W. ]. Winstead, Of Brooks, Alberta.
says:

In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from a 30-acre crop.
This sold for $1.80N per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, labor, twine,
threshing and freight, left clear profit
of $50 per acre, or a total Of $500.
From last years crop of "a acres, just
