S. Joseph and Sons Of Des Moines.

careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm
them.
With the assistance Of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines. 1a..
they made selection near Champion.
Alberta. They put 24O acres OF land
in wheat, and in writing to Mr.. Hew-

at Des Moines, one of the members Of
the firm says: Il have much pleasure
in advising you that on our farm FIVE
miles east of Champion, in the Prov
inoe of Alberta, Canada, this year

Messrs. Smith & Sons of Vulcan,
Alberta, are growers Of wheat on q
large scale and have demonstrated
that there is greater profit in Western
Canada wheat-raising than probably in
any other business anywhere. Speak
Ing Of their experience Mr.. Smith
says:
II have three sections Of land at the
present time and am farming yearly
200 to 1,4O0 acres of land. Ny re-
turns from the farm for the past two
years have been around 1000, that IL
for every dollar I have spent have
received three, now I do not know
where you can do that well.
"This is surely the country for the
man with the small capital as the land
Is still reasonable in price, payments
In long term and work of all kinds for
every man to do. feel that IL was
turned out here without dollar that
In less than ten years I could own

equipped"

Is suitable to granting large and prof

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
inc Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm,

"A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need of
1oodstuffs equal to that Of the present.
Grain prices are the highest In the ma
uons history and today the agricul-
tural fields Of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line Of commerce or business. The
IDEAL life is that close to nature, en-
Joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
lty by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
1stence of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically In the United States ana
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for q number
OF years. and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to life on the Farm" It has been.
to large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
q wrong impression has been created.
In measure, by the lack Of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given a supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line Of commerce. In no other bust
ness does system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it Is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that. generally speaking, needs it as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
p Of each branch of farming to get the
maximum Of profit, Mt the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
business and living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; a small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
Of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
In many places, that has reduced the
profit. It Is the application Of a sys-
TEN to the cost Of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.
Mr.. C. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa,
bought a hundred and sixty acres Of
land in Western Canada for $500 in
December, 1915. and took his first crop
from 1t in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivating
1t and marketing the grain. he sold his
grain at $1.55 bushel "a low price
compared with the present market)s
had surplus Of $2,472.67. His figures
are as follows:
