SECURE FARM NOV
Western Canada Offers on0,

Fertile Land at Moderate Cos, ~,
Social and Other Advantages rb,,
Mean So Much, Will Soon
Be Taken Up.

The desire to have a piece Of M
of ones own is a natural iDStino,
the heart of every properly deyaIo,
man and woman. In earlier Years =
account of the great areas of T.,
available in the United States. M c,,.
difficulty was experienced by any a.
bilious settler who wished to bao,,
his own landholder, but the nrg
increase in population, combined MIA
the corresponding rise in the prico !
land, has completely changed this ~,
dition. Land which a generation ,s
might be had for hOmeSteadjng ,,.
commands prices ranging to SlOO
acre and over. At such prices # !
quite hopeless for the city man VIII
limited capital, to attempt to bpv
farm of his own. To pay for il h
comes a lifelong task, and the un.
ability is that he will never do man
than meet the interest charges nj
he is serious in his desires to SEEM,
a farm home he must look to CON,
tries where there is still abuDdsr
fertile land available at moderate cOs
aud where these lands are to be mn,
chased on terms which make II ms
sible for the settler with small cad
tai to become a farm owner as Il,
result of a few years labor. He win
also want land in a country when
the practices of the people are sm
lar to those to which he has been "A
customed; a country with the SAN,
language, same religion, same gengs
habits of living, with laws, curreng
weights and measures, etc. based Onh
same principles as those with whi8
ne is familiar. He wants a COuntD
where he can buy land from $40 ID
$40 an acre which will produce a
big or bigger crops as those he hi
been accustomed to from lands at S1N I
an acre. He wants this land wheN
social conditions will be attractive d
himself and family, and where he en
look forward with confidence to behs
In a few years independent, and web
started On the road to financial sue
cess.
All these conditions he will find b
western Canada. The provinces Of Al
berta, Saskatchewan, and ManitOh
provide the one and only answer |
the land-hungry. The land is there
it is the kind of land he wants; ht
conditions are as nearly ideal as !
possible, and the prices and terms an |
such that the man of moderate Cap
tai has an opportunity not availaOi
to him elsewhere. Land values an
going to increase, but it will largl
depend on how well the soil can b
used, and the modern farmer is usili
it each year to better advantage.
But those who are on the grOln
and come closest to the heart Of tn
farming sections are cOnV;;2ced that N
material decrease in value is in Sgh
Indeed, they are almost unanimouSI
believing that we shall see a SrOR
real estate market FOR fertile lall
with prices maintained and as de
velopment and further equipments af
added the prices on the open maria
may be expected to show furthGh
crease as the years go On-up to th
limit of income plus what men an
willing to pay to possess an attracnO
home.
Someone once said: "Never Sc
short on the United States You VIII
lose every time" And this appIes
those who are inclined to believe laa
the future of farm values is in OOuO
The American farmer is going l@
ward, not backward, and the Sd"
