much less than twenty years Canadian land has
averaged about 81 bushels OF wheat to the acre
Thirty five bushels not unusual. Forty five
bushels have been produced under favorable cor
ditons. 1t produces SO bushels of oats to the acre
and often so and 100 bushels. The average yield
of the entire United states is around Ia bushels of
wheat and so bushels of oats to the acre. MANY
farms in Canada have been paid for with one crop
of wheat Any settler, with good luck. should be
ABLE to pay for his farm in two or three wears The
government twcnty-year payment plan gives him
tbs opportunity to invest his yearly profits in
stock, improvements and more land
But Western Canada is more than wheat

lists will include privately owned land as well a.
crown land Much of the land in Western Canada
and British Columbia is wild land, privately owned.
Thus, two tracts surveyed for sale by the British
Columbia government, embrace $4,000 acres IN the
Buckley valley near Telkwa, and 81, 900 acres
around vanderhoof In the Nechako valley Settlers
may have their choice of crown lands or privately
owned lands. The Provincial government will ap-
praise the wild land and offer to buy all privately
owned tracts on the appraised valuation. II the
owners are satisfied with the appraised price the
government will buy and sell it to settlers. If not,
the owners will be expected to cultivate II them
selves will be taxed OIL their own valuation of
the land.

seems logical to expect that the latter countries viii
be larger in the postwar period than from the
Entente nations of Europe. For the European
allies will have reconstruction problems Of theis
own to contend with and will need al their own
people to solve them That the European nations,
with the exception of England. will discourage
emigration is certainty and that they will restrict
such movements by law is possibility.
The seriousness of reconstruction problems in
the United States is nothing like % grave as IN

Secretary Lanes land reclamation projects, there
is no denying the fact thst the farming lands Of

times the amount needed to supply its own popua-

But in addition to western Canadas prairie
provinces there fine farming lands in British
