from the success of the project and having lands included therein. The importance of having no rights out standing, or, at least, having none that could seriously interfere with the success of or embarrass the project, is obvious. In this connection and especially in connection with the power of the canal owners to make all necessary conveyances we wish to know the status of the new uses of water that appear to have been made through old ditches since the Lockwood decree. We especially de- sire to know the relation of these uses and of those on whose behalf they have been made, to the diverting canals. We shall greatly appreciate information along the above lines and urge that the various canal owners give it to us at the earliest possible time.
 Assuming that the canal owners are willing and able to make the neces- sary conveyances, and that those who are to be permitted to come into the project with Class A lands stand ready and able to execute the neces- sary instruments. the Class B lands present certain difficulties. It is of course, necessary to know just what lands are to make up the 1000 acres of Class land above the Mcclellan Wash and just what are to comprise the 1000 acres below that wash. Here as we see it, assuming that the other features of the project are satisfactorily arranged, the govern ment is chiefly interested in having | those lands so located as to make | the project as economically successful as possible, and in having the dis 1 tribution as fair a one as possible. | When we come to make our recom- mendations we should be especially | pleased if we could say that these E | lands had been located in accordance with the wishes of the two con- munities of Florence and Casa Grande, fairly accurately ascertained 1 We therefore suggest that those in terested, either by the selection oi representative committees or other wise, inform us as to their wishes and ideas concerning the exact To- cation of the Class B land. The nearer that such a list, with regard to each of the two districts would come to making the project economic ally feasible, and being on the' whole | IdlT anu eQulldule stleCtlOH Ol lllt lands to be irrigated the less re. vision would be necessary by con. ferences between such committees and representatives of the govern ment, and the more surely would tn, final result receive the approval O the secretary of the interior and b. generally satisfactory.
 It is our intention and wish t press this matter vigorously to a early a conclusion as it's magnitud and somewhat complicated natur permits, and to that end we earn estly urge all in any interested t give us their hearty cooperation Help in any phase of the matter, bu especially along the lines above out lined will be very much appreciates by us.

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
yin Prove a Big Factor in Win
ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
eFn Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
hast year. The splendid open fall of
1917. gave a 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 mlny
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 $1,000
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 a bushel, they could
Join production and patriotism to-
Eether with a big margin Of profit.
The POst-Intelligencer of Seattle,
Wash, gives a very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In it's issue of December IA, 1917, 1t
says -
"Sinc Se beginning of the year
Americ.- emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
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.

Average crops. according to the adap-
fation of soil and climate are from
II to 25 bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop. at So per busheI.
brings in these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture

corn. hogs. cattle and diversified farm
eng that brought the profits. Iowa and
the DakOtaS in turn, as their prairies
became settled. mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid off
the mortgages with. corn and hogs.
@War is thus bringing temporary
encoura cement to wheat farming.
Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
the growing of wheat is not the only
Snducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation.
