Why Wait? Why Not Go to West

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that "after they war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not oc-
cur to these 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 Mani

tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay

proceeds of last years crop. That this

are picked out at random:
