| ment.
Thsre Is little need here to direct
attention to the wealth that has come
to the farmers Of Canada within the
past few years. 1t is not only in grain
growing that unqualified and almost
unequaled success has followed honest
effort, but the raising of horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs has been large source
of profit. These are facts that are
we'll known to the many friends and
acquaintance Of the thousands of
farmers from the United States who
have acquired wealth on the prairies
of Western Canada. Farms of from
one hundred and sixty to six hundred
and forty acres of the richest soil may
be secured on reasonable terms, and
with an excellent climate, with a
school system equal to any in the
world, and desirable social conditions,
little else could be asked.
Canadian statesmen are today busily
engaged planning for the future of the
| returned soldier with view to making
him independent of state help after the
immediate necessary assistance has
been granted, the main idea being to
show in the fullest degree the coun-
try's appreciation of the services he
| has rendered.
But now that the war is ended, and
the fact apparent that of all avoca-
tons the most profitable and independ-
ent is that of the farmer, there will be
| a strong desire to secure farm lands
for cultivation. Canada offers the OPP
portunity to those seeking, not as spec
ulation but as production. The deep
est interest is taken by Federal and
Provincial authorities to further the
welfare of the farmer and secure a
maximum return for his efforts. Large
sums of money are spent in educa-
tional and experimental work. En-
/ gagged on experimental and demon
stration farms, and in the agricultural
colleges, are men of the highest tech
meal knowledge and practical expe-
