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 buSiIy
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-
lions the most profitable and independ-
ent is that of the farmer. there Will be
a strong desire 10 secure farm lands
for cultivation Canada offers the op-
pOrtunity TO those seeking, not as spec
uIation 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 eduea-
tional and experimental work. En-
gagged on experimental and demon
stration farms, and in the agricultural
colleges, are men Of the highest tech
nical knowledge and practical expe-
rience, some being professors OF in
ternational reputation. The results
OF experiments and tests are free and
available to all Educational Oppor-
tunities for farmers are the concern
Of the government and appreciation
is shown by the number Of farmers
who attend the free courses.
Agriculture in Canada has reached
high standard, notwithstanding
which lands are low in price.
Thus upon the United States and
Canada for many years will rest the
great burden of feeding the world.
With free interchange of travel. diff
cuities Of crossing and recrossing re-

OF something, no one seemed TO know
what. If the American went to Can

merable difficulties. most OF which.
Of course, was untrue. These IN

/ by an element, which. it was discov-
cred, had an interest in fOmenting
and creating trouble and distrust be
tween two peoples whose language
and aims in life should be anything
but Of an unfriendly character. The
drift law of the United States, adopt

purposes had in view by the United
States, kept many from going to Can
ada during the period Of the war. The
| citizen army OF the United States
was quickly modified. and contained
a large percentage of the young men
from the farmrs. In this way many
were prevented from going to Can
ada.
That is all over now. There are
no real or imaginary restrictions
there is no draft law to interfere
On the contrary. there is an IN
fashionable depth Of good feeling, and
the IOng-existing friendship is strong
er than ever. This has been brough
about by the knowledge of what hai
