1t will be observed that the average
price Of land has not kept pace with
their producing value. It is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase Of high-class land Is still
within the reach of those with lin.
tied means.
A good Idea of advancement In n
country's progress may be obtained by
knowledge of what has been done In
the production Of cattle, and when
these figures nre studied In connection
with Western Canada, a country whose
fame having been heralded as grain
growing country. giving the idea that
that was what 1t was mostly adapted
to, 1t will be realized that there is
there a vast storehouse Of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take ad-
vantage Of It. In the three provinces
In 1912 there were-horses, milch cows,
other cattle. sheep and swine. four mil
lion head, while In 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419,512; in 1915 1.89S,220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
Of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning Of
that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has MS Its next
door neighbor nation Of over 100 O0O.-
000-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have stimulating effect
on its progress. Already one sees
signs Of 1t on every hand.
Canada not only hns the largest area
Of unoccupied. but fertile. land Of any
country. but this land is already made
available by a network of railways.
Cost Of production Of grain is lower
than elsewhere. while the prices are
on basis Of those Of the United
