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

Reports to hand indicate that West.
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917. gave a better opportunity for fall
plOwing 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 Il. 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-
gether 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 Its issue Of December II, 1917, II
says
"Since the beginning OF the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports Of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
mp Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as a profitable ~avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning Of
the war it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price OF wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tatiOn Of soil and climate are from
- to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 80 per bushel.
brings in these war times n reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently for results
on the right side of the ledger. It has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business 1t was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairles
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid Off
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
10000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
It may be pointed out, however, that
the growing of wheat is not the only
lnducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement of the fer
tile lands Of Western Canada ."-Ad-
y~ertisement.

EAT NAVY BEANS NOW
AND HELP WIN THE WAR

The days intervening between Sun
day, June 9, and Saturday, June %,
have been set aside for a two weeks
| campaign to increase the consump-
ton of the Wisconsin navy bean.
Wisconsin has about 100000
pounds of navy beans which were
grown by farmers of the state during
the season of 1917, when these farm
ers were urged as a patriotic duty to
increase their acreage and their
crops During the winter and spring
there has been no market for navy
beans, and unless the crop is moved
within a month the farmers, who paid
high prices for seed, will meet a heavy
loss
The State Council of Defense, at it's
meeting June 4, considered this situa-
ton after hearing reports from inves-
tigators who had gone into the field,
and voted to put on a publicity cam
paign to aid in the marketing of Wis
consln beans during the time stated
above. The marketing agent of the
State Council of Defense has secured
a retail price for No. 1 navy beans af-
ter consultation with the Milwaukee
price committee, of IA cents per pound.
Wholesalers and grocers have been in
terested, and the Milwaukee retailers
have agreed to make special displays
OF Wisconsin navy beans and push
sales for two weeks.
If your grocers are unable to get
beans you are advised to communicate
with the State Council of Defense.
Please remember that this campaign
is to sell Wisconsin beans, and that
the grocers should order and display
only beans raised in Wisconsin.
