has that world loss to be more than made up. out
we have to provide a large further tonnage 10
keep on sending our soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
dented job Of not only feeding our own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only a part of what we need. Later on those snlps
will be necessary In bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe. But at present and for
some time to come the movement Is one OF full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back.
The United States is now the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor'
nous gain In our exports shows how other ma
tons are increasingly looking to US to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline.
still on the whole there Is every probability OF
their increasing, not only during the war but
inter the war. Large areas Of Europe are depop.
ulated and devastated. Many Of the rich wheat.
growing sections including almost all OF the WIN
~ter.wheat producing areas OF Russia, are IN the
Germans possession. Conditions In Russia are
chaotic. The western European allies produced
In 1917 about 900, 5000 bushels less than the an.
ma, pre.war average. There was a great drop
also in the wheat production Of other European
countries. Argentina, Australia and India are
producing good crops. But there is no shipping
to move It properly.
While the war IL on there Is a big enough de-
mand from our allies In Europe for materials OF
all kinds. We have to supply coal. steel, oil, cot
ton, lumber, rails. locomotives and a great guam
tity Of other products. After the war when the
lob Of rehabilitatIng Europe Is put through, the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac'
tired material Of all kinds will be enormous. We
shall also have to ~replenlsh the depleted herds OF
Europe from Our " cattle. Ours, In TACT Will
he the task Of supplying most Of the world.
10 II il clear that besides the millions Of tons OF
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy
we shall need a great permanent merchant ma
r,ne. In 1914 only s108.0o0.0o0 Of the more than
spmOO0OvOO Of our exports was carried In AnerI

ADVANCEMENT N
WESTERN CANADA
FARM LAND PRICES

Stories Of phenomenal advancement
and prosperity in Western Canada
have been told the reading public for
some years past. The stories e told
when there were hundreds OF thou.
sands Of acres Of splendid land ada
cent to railways and projected lines.
which could be had on the payment OF
q mere $40 entry fee. and under cult
walton and living conditions. As was
prophesied then. the day has com
when these are few. There are still
available thousands Of these: they are
some distance now from the railways.
The land is as good as ever, but plo-
neering conditions will have changed.
A great many are still taking advan-
tage Of this free offer from the govern
ment. The story was told when good
lands near lines OF railway could be
bought for from s. to SO per acre
and :he prophecy made that these
prices would double in a few years, for
the intrinsic value was far more than
that. That day has cone more quickly
than expected. The immense crops OF
grain that could be raised has brought
about the change, and the demand FOR
low priced lands with maximum re-
turns has prompted the keen pur'
chaser as well as the wner OF higher
priced land from which nc greater re-
turn could be looked for. Prices OF
land In Western Canada are still nd
v~ancing, and will continue to advance
until, Of course, the limit Is reached
when returns will warrant no furthei
increase. That day is not far distant
But. In the meantime, there are largt
tracts of land owned by land corlpa
MES and private individuals that have
not felt the advance that has beer
shown in other districts. The oppor
tunity to purchase these should no
be lost sight Of, and II there are thos
amongst the readers of this article
which Is authorized by the Canadial
government, who wish cheap lant
such lands as produce from 25 to 4
bushels per acre, and will pay TO
themselves out Of one years crop, &c
