INCREASE IN WESTERN.
CANADA ACREAGE
viii Prove a Big Factor in Win

Reports to hand indicate that West.
ern Canada has vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
| blowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
| until the end of November In fact. in
the neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of 1t. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to Increase the acreage. They
came into possession Of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
OF wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price of 1921 bushel they could
join production and patriotism to.
gether with n big margin Of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash. gives very conservative state
ment Of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In Its issue Of December ID, 1917, 1t
SAYS -
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has

the reports of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
