ern Canada and Certain
Financial Benefits.

| With your crop harvested and mar
keted. with the disposal of your cattle
and hogs completed. you are ready to
prepare your financial statement for
the year. You will soon know what you
have gained, and If the gain made In
your farming operations has been up
to your expectations and will meet
your requirements. Probably you may
have been the loser. Your land may
have been productive. but 1t may have
been too high priced. The cost Of pro-
duction has been too great. If yen
| have had the remuneration you sought
and are satisfied this article may not
interest you. II your returns have not
been satisfactory. or II your ambition
leads you to the laudable desire Of bet
tering your condition. II you have de-
pendents for whose future you have
anxiety. you will naturally look around
for some place, some opportunity that
offers greater advantages and brings
satisfactory returns. To the north and
west of you lie hundreds Of thousands
of unbroken acres In Western Canada
awaiting the husbandman. and ready
to give of Its richness to place you
where you desire to be placed. For
thousands of farmers from nearly ev-
cry state In the Union the prairies Of
Western Canada have afforded wealth
beyond what they had been led to ex-
pect. The excellence Of the soil OF
western Canada, which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. can only partially be told
by the knowledge of some facts
Every year for some years past thu
worlds highest prizes for wheat oats
and barley have been carried OFF by
grain grown on Western Canadian
Prairles. Beef fattened on the grasses
of these same prairies recently brought
the highest prices ever paid on the
Chicago market. Throughout the en-
tire world the quality Of Canadian
grain, and Canadian beef and mutton,
Is recognized. To recite what indi.
vidual farmers have done, the riches
they have acquired would fill volumes.
The case of James Wishart of Portage
la Prairie is not an exceptional one

the land upon which II was grown was
broken forty-four years ago, and It has
been continuously under crop except

to the bushel. Others &C and some 65h

Alberta, went as high as SO bushels

Alberta, had yields OF from % to 30

Records such as these speak In glow
ing terms of the excellence Of the soil
of Western Canada.
The war Is ovet. and we are all
settling down to a peace basis. There
is great world beyond the seas to
feed and clothe, and thus is afforded
the opportunity to lend hand in the
great work. Aside from the phlian-
thropy In which you can play part.

you are amply providing for yourself
and for the future of those who may
be dependent upon you. Greater prog
ress can be made In this and your own
development by availing yourself Of
