VOLUMES MIGHT BE WRITTEN I Of the Success That Awaits tha Farm.1 er in Western Canada. The story of wheat fanning In Woe tern Canada (that portion of Canada lying north of Dakota and Montana) has been frequently told, but it will Btand a lot of telling, and still retain Its touch of interest. During the year Just closed 277,376 persons made their | homes In Canada as compared with 215,912 for the year 1906, an increase of 61,464. Those from the United States numbered 56.551. A writer In "Industry” recently said: “To-day the “Dominion of Canada is witnessing a “mightier movement of population “than ever stimulated a Biblical writ “cr to pen a chapter of Scripture." The sam*> writer says: "From the Rhine "and the Rhone river valleys; from "the port cities of Germany and the “farms of the Fatherland, from the “peasant soil of Russia; and out from “the grimy Lancashire and over-popu "lated Yorkshire, the discontented "and ambitious of every clime are “seeking to take advantage of the “opportunities afforded by the fertile “soil and exhilarating climate of the "Emnl-e of the North.” Continuing the same writer says: "While a million human beings throng “the shores of the United States every "year, the smaller number arriving In “Canada come with a more well-de* "fined purpose.” The question has been asked why do these people come to Canada? The available land be tween the Mississippi and the Pacific has been exhausted, and the farmers within that territory find that their sons have to seek newer climes. Cana da offers one hundred and sixty acres of land free to each. This land yields from 20 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre. In Southern Alberta, the winter ] wheat belt of Canada, as high as 60 bushels per acre have been harvested. | yieias iran me one mentioned have netted the farmer as much as I $35 per acre. There are no words that tell the tale so effectively as those of the farmer himself, the man who has ploughed the fields, sowed the grain, and with folded hands rests while nature, bounteous in that country, in less than three months, placed at his disposal hundreds of acres of ripened grain, now waiting the arrival of the reaper, and therefore we reproduce the following letter. Any agent of the Canadian govern ment will be pleased to give informa tion regarding the district mentioned or any of any other that may be de sired. E. T. Holmes, Esq., Canadian Government Agent, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir: — In 1905 I located on a claim about 30 miles from the town of Wadena, on the Canadian Northern Railroad, have lived on my claim most of the time since. I consider this to be one of the best districts in the country for grain growing. In 1906 wheat averaged from 30 to 51 bushels per acre on some of my neighbors’ farms, within 4 miles of my claim. Oats go from 75 to 100 bushels. It is also a good country for stock. Where I am there Is plenty of fuel. Homesteads nearly all taken the settlement being largely Germans, and Americans, all well-to-do. I loft Wadena in Febru ary, 1907, returning April 25, bo that I missed part of the winter, which the old settlers tell me was one of the worst they ever saw, but there was no suffering, as the people are pretty well fixed, and there are no blizzards In that country, at least there never has been known to be one. Wild land sells at from 110 to $15; closer to ♦.own it is higher. In the summer w© havo all sorts of wild fruits very plentiful, and I never saw better vegetables, and game is so plentiful a man need not starve for want of something to eat. Plenty 1 of good water too. You need not hesitate to recommend this district, hut the homesteads are nearly all taken, most of the homesteaders are living right on their claims.
