as small grain will just be ready for
cutting and thrashing. One can see at
a glance exactly what the climate and

famous wheat belt have not been bet

professional men of Cass county have
already made purchases in Alberta.
Lmdeeekr8 from some 15 or 20 states

acre; today, it is selling at from $12 or
$15 up to $50 an acre.
The Canadian Pacific R. R. Co. ad
vanced the price of its lands 20 per cent
on July 15 and further advances
sure to come as the home seekers
are
Con
tinueto rush into that country.
If you cannot possibly get away to
go on Aug. 3, you can go on the next
excursion day, which will be August 17.
Alberta grows the best wheat to be
found, the yield being from 30 to 55
bushels per acre. Oats yield from CO
to 100 bushels and barley, 40 to 80 bu
shels. You can purchase first class
dry land within 2, 3 or 4 miles of a mar
ket at $18 an acre and irrigated land at
$.10 an acre. Where can you buy laYid
at that price that will grow such large
crops?
