WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
She Western Canada farmer had III
view few years ago is now being real
azed The amount received from the
sale Of wheat, oats, barley, fax and
rye in 1917 was $27O,0OO,000, while the
sales Of live stock at Winnipeg alone
0etted $40,000,000 additional. Of this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven null
Hon dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over Ga million
dollars.
1 This money, so easily earned, is be-
aing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors, automobiles, and in
proving home conditions, providing
Aelectric light, steam heat, new furni-
gfnre, pianos, buying Victory bonds.
apaying off old debts, etc.
= Over five hundred tractors were sold
I'm 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. 1t is the same story
ell over 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; the
improvement in the extent of the cul-
tiyated areas and agricultural produc-
ton; the increase in value of which
over 1916 was $77.000,000.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in western
Canada is but the beginning when
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
3jiied, and of land as good as any or
ahat which is now giving its owners a
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. 1t 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
barge balance to the credit of the pro-
ducer.
The following tale shows how this
works out: 1913 1917

which would preclude their ever join
ing the army again. Also tuberculosis
prisoners, those clinically cured as we'll
as those still needing treatment, were
to be repatriated.
Following this the scope of the re-
patriation program was vastly extend
ed when France, Germany and Bel
giHm agreed to exchange all prisoners
of war forty-eight years Of age and
older who had been interned more than
eighteen months. This applied to pri-
Yates and noncommissioned officers
only. Commissioned officers were to
be informed in Switzerland.
And lastly another agreement was
brought about by the efforts Of the
Swiss government. 1t still further ex-
tended the scope of the exchange CON
ditions. All civil prisoners were to be
freed.
Many Return to Homes.
The freeing and exchanging Of these
prisoners has been in progress for some
time. Long trains filled with these for
mer soldiers are passing through
Switzerland every day in both direc-
tons, taking these unfortunate victims
back to their old homes.
Up to the middle of last month more
than 100000 prisoners Of war had
passed through Switzerland on their
way to liberty. Some Of these soldiers
We're in most pitiable state The peo-
pie Of Switzerland played the part Of
the good Samaritan by feeding cloth
ing and consoling these poor sufferers.
In addition Switzerland has been the
connecting link in mail communication
between belligerent countries. Up to
the first of June Switzerland without
charge transported 19,798O0O letters
and cards to prisoners of war, 457, 100
parcels weighing no more than two
| pounds, 414,679,O00 letters and cards
in transit, 19,526,OOO small parcels in
transit, 6,364,0 parcels containing
bread sent to Germany and Austria
| 7S,S16,000 parcels weighing up to ten
pounds and 9,4S9,O00 money orders
transmitting an aggregate amount of
$50. 000,000.
Since the Beginning of 1916 Switzer-
land has been harboring continuously
from 10000 to 10000 interped prison
ers of war needing medical treatment
and hospital care. Lately their num-
Der has never been less than 10000.
All these interned prisoners were Wis.

500, 900 CAPTlVES ARE FREED

Berne.-More than 500, 600 prisoners.
victims of the war, were exchanged and
returned to their home lands up to the
middle Of last month by the interven-
ton and good offices of Switzerland,
says the Bund, the mouthpiece of the
Swiss government, in a plea for more
generous and reciprocal treatment by
the belligerents.
After the war had begun Switzer-
land organized an international bureau
of information for prisoners of war,
with its seat at Geneva. This bureau
forwarded information to the relatives
of prisoners Of war and shipped food
and delicacies to the prisoners them
selves.
AS early as October, 1914, Switzer-
land suggested to the belligerents the
exchange of prisoners severely wound
ed. The pope became interested in
this matter and supported the efforts
Of Switzerland. In February, 1915, an
agreement was reached regarding the
conditions Of exchange. Switzerland
placed the hospital trains Of It's own
army at the disposal of the belliger-
ents for the transportation of the
wounded.
The agreement was first entered into
by France and Germany. Later Aus
tria and Italy accepted the same terms.
Early in 1916 the Swiss federal coun-
Gil, aided by the pope, succeeded in
bringing about an agreement permit
ting the internment Of severely wound
ed and sick prisoners Of war, civil as
well as military, within Switzerland,
The Swiss undertook to manage this
vast work Of charity.
Agreement Is Reached.
Later the Swiss federal council, aid
ed by the international Red Cross at
Geneva, succeeded in inducing the bel.
ligerents to again respect the interna.
tional agreement regarding hospital
and sanitary field workers.
international law demands the i'm.
mediate discharge of members of SAM.
tary detachments When taken prisoner
This law was disregarded by belliger.
ents, but SwitZerlands entreaties and
admonitions put a stop to the practice
and led to the liberation of these pris
OF ers.
Finally the agreement to exchange
the permanently disabled was reached
in March of last year. Efforts of the
Swiss federal council led to the ac
ceptance of this agreement by France
Germany and Belgium. 1t meant tht
