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
l9l7, gave better opportunity for fall
pIowing 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 plow, and many
TOOK advantage Of it. 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 $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
OF wheat running from twenty and as
nigh as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price of 1921 a bushel they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with big margin of profit.
Inc 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
up 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
$2 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
IL to 25 bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel |
brings in these war times a 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. 1t has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business it was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
Ing 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 a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
and Alberta laid away
10000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
It may be pointed out, however, that
he growing Of wheat is not the only
nducement which is leading settle
nent to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
avorable agricultural climate, and
prices not only for grain but
or hogs, cattle and all forms of farm
'roduce all contribute their share
oward the rapid settlement of the fer
lie lands Of Western Canada."-Ad-
ertisement.

All reports from the battle front in

divisions were thrown back with such
violence as 10 compel considerable
abatement Of infantry activity on their
part at a moment when their plan
called for Its intensincation and con-
tlnuance. Thus the initial movement
was shattered. and a readiustment Of
the enemy's forces was rendered neces-
sary which may considerably effect the
general plan.
In producing this effect the American
