INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA LAND VALUES
But Forty and Fifty Bushels OF
Wheat to the Acre.

During the past year there has been
q greater demand for farm lands in
Western Canada than for number OF
years past. The demand is for good
farm lands improved or unimproved.
And at an increase of from ten to nj
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for couple
of years ago.
The rise in the price of every kind
of produce grown on these Western
lands, in some cases to double and IN
others to treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at
tracing in ever-increasing proportions
the men who are anxious to invest
their money, and apply their energies
In the production of wheat for when
the allied nations are calling with
voices which grow louder and more
anxious as the months roll on, and the
end of the war still seems distant.
Beef, and more especially bacon, are
required in ever greater quantities.
and the price of all these things has
soard, until 1t is not a question or
what shall we produce, but how. much
can we produce. Even should TINS
world calamity be brought to close
in six months from now, it will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-interest II
not patriotism is turning the minds or
thousands back to the land. The In
evitable consequence has been the rise
In values of land, especially wheat
land.
The Calgary Herald, commenting On
these conditions says:
From inquiries made from leading
dealers in farming and ranching prop
critics, and from the information gath
cred in other ways, 1t is known that
the value of all land-wheat land,
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land--has risen in the
last two Yeas 40 per cent. Wheat
lands in come districts have practical
~ doubled in price. One dealer in
farm lands recently sold three sections
for $40 an acre. one extra good quar-
ter went as high as 800, and another
brought 800. These are, of course,
large prices, but that they will be
equaled or even surpassed in the near
future is beyond question. There Is
feature about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be drawn for the success of the move
ment. The proper tillage of land, to
produce large crops in a climate like
ours is now understood and practiced
as 1t never was in the early days OF
the province. 1t would seem too that
with the increase of land under culti-

walton, the seasons are changing
and the rainfall becoming greater and
more regular.
Crops are being harvested. especial
" in Southern Alberta, which would
have seemed impossible to the old-time
farmer, with his old-fashioned ideas
of breaking and seeding. And at the
price now set by the government for
wheat and which possibly may be in
creased during the coming season. the
return to the practical skilled agricul-
turist must necessarily be very large.
"What matters SO or even $40 an
acre extra on wheat land when re-

more may be taken from every acre

dred pounds; beef on the hoof at ST..

new government arranged system OF
handling and sale brings 60 cents
pound (and these values cannot fall
to any great extent for some years.
the demand for land will continue and
values increase in a corresponding de-
gree.
There has never been In the history
of Canada a time so favorable for the
farmer as the present; self-interest,
the inspiration of patriotic feeling, the
aid freely extended by the govern
ment, who are permitting the import
of certain agricultural implements
free, all these tend to still further
raise the price of Alberta land. ''-Ad-

House of Lords Dies Hard.

Il Is now about sixty years since
Thomas Darlington Macaulay wrote
again and again that the house OF
lords seemed to be on its last legs. He
used longer and more dignitied
phrase but that is its substance when
translated into the vernacular. APP
parently his conviction then was as
strong as that of any of those who
now hope for the abolition Of the
lords. To be sure, the circumstances
have changed greatly, but the lords die
50 hard that this little historical rem
fniscence is not without its value now
that the same cry is heard again and
when some think the consummation
near OF hand.
