HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.
It is no now experience for settlors
located iu a fcrtilo country such as
Wcstorn Canada, whoro lands may bo
bought at very rcasonablo prices, to
harvest ft crop that In ono season pays
tho entire cost of their farm. Undoubt
edly this was tho cxporlonco of many
farmers during 191C, but ono lnstanco
may bo quoted. A settlor who camo
to Canada from tho United States
Boino years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar
ter section near his homo at Warner,
at $20.00 an acre, with terms spread
over a period of years. Ho got tho
land Into a good stato of cultivation
and last spring put tho wholo quarter
section In wheat. "When tho crop was
threshed ho found that It only took
half tho wheat on tho farm to pay tho
A whojo purchase price of It; In Bhorti
a slnglo year's crop paid tho cost of
the land, paid all tho expenses of op
eration and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. T,hls settler had soino
adjoining land, and his wholo wheat
crop for tho season amounted to
over 18,000 bushels- Ho Is now plan
7lng to obtain somo sheep and invest
his profits In Uvo stock which will as
sure him a good living irrespective of
what tho season may happen to bo.
Canada's financial position Is ex

Detailed figures of Canada's trado
for twelve months ending October 31
snow how tho war is forcing Canadian
trado into now channels. Ono of tho
most extraordinary changes is in com
merce with tho United States. A
couple of years ago Canada Imported
from tho United States two or throo
hundred million dollars' worth of
goods more than sho exported. Tho
balanco of trado was all with tho
United States. Tho balanco is rapid
ly disappearing, and tho present out
look is that by tho end of this year
Canada will have exported to tho
United States moro than sho has im
ported. Tho figures for tho past four years
aro Illuminating. They aro as fol
lows: Exports. Imports.

Four years ago, in 1912, tho balanco
. v , of trado in favor of tho United
StatC3 was no less than two hundred
and .flixty-soven millions, and tills
year, tho balanco Is reduced" to only
thirty-two millions. Tho figures are
extraordinary and rcfloct tho changed
and now conditions in Canada. It
looks as if for tho first time in nearly
half a century this year Canada will
sell moro to tho United States than
oho will buy from tho Amorlcans.

ing to do with tho present Mexican Sit
