CROPS AND PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS
ING ON AGRICULTURISTS
Farmer on Low-Priced, Fertile Lands,
Still to Be Had, Is in Best
Possible Position.

The economic problems connected
with the advantageous marketing OF
farm crops and the financing of the
movement of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
will be solved. however, and while
that solution Is being worked out 1t
Is simply good sense on the farmers
part to make his efforts toward pro-
duction tell TO the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
of depression and hard times and
placing him in the best position to
take the greatest possible advantage
of the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
is almost invariably the largest crop
which a be obtained. Or in other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself In the ad-
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study, and must apply
the results of his study to such prob
lens as soil fertility, its conservation
ind increase; son moisture, it's rom
troll; cultural methods, suitable and
productive varieties, ETC., etc.
The question is how can you best
accomplish and secure these thingsf
Can they be done on high-priced lands,
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may be had from that growa
n raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production is fully as great as
that Of the high-priced landsp The
answer Is u~nquestionably in favor Of
the low-priced lands, when they are
selected because of their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
Ii Is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands Of Westera
Canada would prove a splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize the
fact that In order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some of
the burden that you are laboring IN
der, you must secure some lire Of
cheaper operation. whether It he re-
moval to other parts in your W
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage OF that which
Western Canada affords.
For information regarding these
advantages apply to any Canadians
