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
lave 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 it may have
been too high priced. The cost Of pro-
duction has been too great. If you
have had the remuneration you sought
and are satisfied this article may not
Interest you. If your returns have not
been satisfactory, or If your ambition
leads you to the laudable desire of bet
tering your condition, if you have de-
pendents for whose future you have
anxiety, you will naturally look around
Tor some place, some opportunity that
offers greater advantages and brings
satisfactory returns. To the north and

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 h knowledge of some facts.
Every year for some years past the
worlds highest prizes for wheat, oats
and barley have been carried off by
grain grown on Western Canadian
Prairies. 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
Ia Prairie is not an exceptional one.
His wheat crop this past season yield
ed him forty-five bushels per acre, and
the land upon which it was grown was
broken forty-four years ago, and it has
been continuously under crop except
for an occasional summer fallow. AT
Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, samples OF
the wheat of 1918 weighed GS pounds
to the bushel. others GO and some 65H
pounds. Wheat crops at Coaldale
Alberta, went as high as SO bushels
acre. while wheat crops near Barons
Alberta, had yields of from 25 to q
bushels.
Records such as these speak in glow
ing terms of the excellence of the sol
of Western Ca1ada.
