/ DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George e. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home IN Iowa is held ut $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of cul-
tivatfon, with splendid improvements
in houses barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the rerenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum ON investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
80 per cent on the capital invested
S25.e0 an acre. The crop yield was
35 bushels per acre. This year the
same uuaTter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1886 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of l Northern at
$1.56 per bushel, gave him $2,56S.0S.
Seed. half the Irvine and half the
thresfang bill cost him $453.00. Allow
ng a share OF the expense of his an
nual inspection trip. charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
G crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cen
on investment, as in Iowa, but The
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
seThat's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing Il number of farmers from Iowa to-
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. ID. Kerton, q tenant
farmer in iowa. He bought a quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre rear Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop IN 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I ten friends down home for your"
The reply was: .Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man, Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $fS,000 in cash for his wheat
crops. in 1916 and 1915.
Nrs Barr when at home devotes
most Of his time to raising and deal
Ing In live stock. On his first visit of
Inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
ICED the opportunity there was here
FOR grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections. not occupied, were fenced
Ind rented as pasture lands to farm
adjoining. His creed is: LET ma
.ure sHppE the feed all summer while
,attle are growing, and then in the
ALL take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
