The total value of field crops for
1917 was 1868, 1924, $50, produced on less
than 100000 acres of land.
Further evidence of prosperity and
progress is found in the Government
estimate of the value of farm lands,
and increase in value since 1908:

1t will be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with lin
tied means.
A good idea of advancement in a
cOuntry's progress may be obtained by
knowledge Of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, country whose
fame having been heralded as a grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to, it will be realized that there is
there vast storehOuse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take adj
vantage of 1t. In the three provinces
in 1912 there warehouses, mich cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head. while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419,512 in 1916 1,69S,220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
Of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning
of that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor a nation of over 100000.
000-the richest nation in the world
Is bound to have stimulating effect
on it's progress. Already one sees
signs of it on every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
Of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any
country, but this land is already made
available by network of railways
Cost of production of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on a basis of those of the United
eS-Advertisement.

fighting in a brick field near the first
of these villages. Along the
Bapaume- Cambria road the enemy
also attacked and then towards
Goubeaucourt, while his left wing
was pushed in in the direction of
Ronssoy and Hargicourt.
Forms Sharp Salient.
The British front In the area. OF
attack forms a rather sharp salient.
If the enemy could pinch of this
salient and run his line straight in a
northwesterly slant instead Of hay-
ing it run at an angle first north and
then west, he would be able to hold it
with fewer troops. Also in pinching
1t off he would hope TO surround and
capture a good number Of British
troops. These, it seems plain, are
his aims in the first stage Of the Of
fensive. .-.s
The enemy is trying to repeat on
q. larger scale the operation by which
he won back some Of the ground we
gained in the battle Of Cambria.
Then, he pushed In on an angle Of
our front both from the north and
the east. His two bodies Of troops
did their best to join hands but could
not make 1t, though it had at first
considerable success. Much the same
design is being followed now. We
have good reason to hope that 1t will
be checked as was the previous one"

London, March 22.-It is not yet
possible to give any more than a gen.
eral and vague idea Of the fighting
Thursday on the front between the
Disc and the Sensee, which continues
with swaying fortunes, according to
the accounts of correspondents at the
British front in the morning news
papers.
The German attack made on the
British front west and southwest OF
Cambria evidently aims at recaptur-
ing all the Hindenburg line, says 8
dispatch to The Morning Post, from
British headquarters in France
which adds:
THE German army attacking south
of the Scarpe seems to have deliver
ed its first blow principally in the
triangle of the Arras- Cambria and
Bapaume-C Cambria roads, while the
German army south Of Cambria is
striking against our trench systems
in the region west Of the Scheldt
canal. No doubt the enemy hopes
that the attacking forces Of these
two armies may succeed in forming
a junction and thus cutting off con-
siderable slice Of the British front
and taking back all the Hindenburg
trenches lost exactly four months
ago."
Struggles for villages and ruined
farm houses continued throughout
Thursday, according to the CORES
pendent of The Daily Mail.
The enemy bombardment," he
says, began at o'clock in the morn
ing and at o'clock some Of the Ger
man units left their trenches and at
tackled the British with heavy and
light machine guns. Between 9 and
10 O'clock the engagement became
general on a front Of some twenty
five miles.
The right Of the German attack
was aimed at Croisilles, Bullecourt
and Lagnicourt and there was hard

first line positions were bombarded
rather heavily.
