The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view a few years ago is now being real
ICED. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was S270, 1000, 1000, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40,O 900 additional. Of this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over Ga million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, is be
ing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land.
buying tractors, automobiles, and in
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds,
paying off old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
in Southern Alberta in 1917. One
implement agent reports that the IN
crease in his business in 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. It is the same story
all ove the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large in
crease in the number of settlers; h
Improvement in the extent Of the cul-
tivated areas and agricultural produe-
ton; the increase in value of which
over 1916 was SIT, 100000.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent,
showing a future of great possibilities.
There are millions of acres yet I'M
titled, and of land as good as any OF
that which is now giving its owners q
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land. with all
cultivation costs included. It is true
that the cost of production has in
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also in
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to the credit of the pro-
Queer.
