GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off, on account
of the fear of CONSUMPTION, which of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having it's influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. H. Beatty of
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels of
wheat from IL acres or an average of
661k bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney E. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels Of wheat, the average being
52k bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field of % acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 6,094 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of go bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry Of Nobleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from a
field Of 1858 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a yield of fifty-three
Mobiles affidavit of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or f1fty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a flax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
BE- pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such |
great success. When these reports are |
read, the man looking for farm be- |
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause large influx Of Amer
can farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
ire low and Free homestead land can
,e had In many districts and the home
Iteader is welcome.-Advertisem

FISHING AT SNOW
POND is FINE

Reports from Snow Pond are that
the fishing there is fine and that some
splendid trout are being taken prac-
tically every day. The most of the
fishermen are landing trout that weigh
from three to five pounds, there being
no reports so far of exceptionally large
fish. while 1t is rare that one is taken
that goes below two pounds. The
weather has been fine for the fisher
men and they have been thoroughly
enjoying 1t. The season for fly fishing
for bass is opening up on all of the
ponds OF the Belgrade system and it is
reported that some fine catches have
been landed.
