WESTERN CANADA's
CEREA. CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop OF Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes Of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not.
| only greater than in any previous year.
but the price obtained was double that
OF 1916, which In turn was almost
double that of the year before.
AS was the case in 1916 and 1915
many farmers We're able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
of their first years crop. Further Eevt-
dence. Of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
IN every twenty of the population is
now the owner Of an automobile. II
the farming community alone is taken
1t Will be found that the proportion of
| automobile owners is still greater. The
Dank clearings of the leading cities Of
western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods OF 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $5OOOO0,o0o more was
cleared in the IL months ending No
yember 30 than in the same months
year ago.
The entry of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together FOR the
same ends. Those who are not lighting
are promoting a greater production OF
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportu
nifty. Not only can larger auantitie,
OF staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
Is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod.
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions Of acres O,
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormou,
acreage prepared for seeding to whea'
IN 1918. 1t is larger than in 1917, AM
Will probably surpass the record ases
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The year.l9ls
should also see further increase IN
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers tc
the possibilities of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals las,
fall that it was impossible to smeet il
adequately; the campaign for create,
hog production is expected t, yield al
increase Of between 25 and so per cen,
In 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do bette,
than come early in the spring when
they can put in crop and harvest IL
in the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something. that viii
not only be Of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States, are now fighting.
