THE BASIS OF
CANADA'S
RCHE
A Theme Discussed by the Wall
Street Journal.
In speaking of Canada a short time
ago the Wall Street .lourual made tin
statement that "The basis of Canada
riches Is the fertility of the soil, and
no freak of warfare can Injure that
while her guiln will Increase In do
iiiaiMl as the population of the world
grows. As tin ImoMtiicnt Held Cumuli
is worthy ot consideration." Tlu-s.
words are well worthy of attention, es
peclally coming from buch a source a
this eminent liiiancinl Journal. Will
a laud area cNcccilliig that of t li
United States and with tillable area
coining under cultivation, the wealth
of Canada's future can scarcely lie est I
matoU, while the wealth today Is sutli
as to bring her most promluently In
fo ro the world.
During the past year thousands m
farmers In Western Canada sold thrli
crops for more than the total cost r
their land. Lands at from $1." to ?:iu
an acre produced crops worth ?-10 to
$75 an acre. Stock raising and dnlr
ins were equally prolltable.
The year 11)15 saw most wonderful
crops and magnlllcent yields over tin
entire country, and many fanners
wiped out Indebtedness that Intel
hung over them long before they came
to the country, and the year 101G put
them in a condition of absolute Inde
pendence. A report to hand verltled
by a high ollicial might seem marvel
ous, were the particulars not well
known, and where j.w not other cases
that would seem aliL.ist as phenom
enal. This is a southern Alberta story:
A farmer wished to rent an adjoining
farm on which a loan company held a
mortgage. The applicant said he want
ed the llrst ten bushels of wheat, after
which he would divide, giving the loan
company one-third. After threshing
he paid Into the bank at Calgary $10
per acre for every acre cultivated, to
the credit of the loan company, as
their share or their third of the crop.
Sixteen dollars per acre rent. Ills
two-thirds was !'.V2 and in addition the
llrst ten bushels of wheat. Land on
this same security can be purchased
for from $10 to $30 per acre. Won
derful yields are reported from all
parts of this district. Recently 4.010
acres of a ranch were sold to an Illi
nois farmer; 1100 acres of wheat In
15)10 produced a yield that averaged
4UV4 bushels of wheat per acre. George
Kichard, formerly of Providence, It. I.,
on a southern Alberta farm got 'J.0.V2
bushels of wheat from a fiO-ncro Held,
or over -10 bushels per acre, anil from
n fiO-ncro Held of oats got a return of
70 bushels per acre and still had some
sheaves left over for feeding.
A report Just Issued by tho Alberta
government gives the yield of wheat In
the showing of 1910 as US bushels per
acre ; -l.r bushels of oats and 140 bushels
of barley.
Travelers through Albertn's wheat
belt have had revealed to them scenes
of agricultural productiveness unap
pronched in any other part of the
world.
Alberta farms, selected with even
modernte discretion, have raised men
to Independence and allluence with rec
ords of "Wonderful development unsur
passed amongst tins phenomenal Indus
trial success of which Canada well tmij
boast.
Many almost Incredible yields have
been reported by reliable authorities,
wheat exceeding 70 bushels per ucro
and oats 14."i bushels.
Numerous records show that the cost
of farms has been more than repaiil by.
this year's crop. In one Instance, land
purchased for $H,'200 produced wheat
which was sold for u little over $10,000.
During the year 1017 there will be
an Immense amount of labor required
to tnke care of the crop In Mnnltobn.
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
One of the problems which Western
Canada lias to face eery year Is the
securing of an adequate supply of
labor to handle the harvesting and
threshing of Its big crops. This prob
lem. Indeed, Is always present in any
country that has a big agricultural pro
duction; In the case of Western Can
ada It is enhanced by the comparative
sparsity of population and the long dis
tance from Industrial districts, which
can be expected to offer a surplus oi
labor.
In Western Canada the present did)-i-ultles
are Increased by the war. A ver
large number of Western Canada'h
small population have enlisted for serv
ice with the Canadian forces in Hurope,
and at the present time there Is gen
(rally speaking no surplus of labor for
the ordinary channels of industry, to
xiiy untiling of the abnormal deuiauil.s
f harvest time. The situation, how
ever, has to some extent been met b.
the action of tho Caniulinn militia de
partment, who have released all such
men who are still In training In tin
western military cainm and who desire
to engage in harvest work for a perloo
ol generally one mouth.
'I'll.- actual number of men engagec
in will in htmest work was betweer
forty and lll'ty thousand. Wages wen
tiigher than usual, running from S'J.r.t
to $1.1X1 a day with hoard, and from
s.'J.'i to $00 u month. --Advertisement.

rnniunn. South and Central Amer
ican steamers are far more numerous
than United States vessels as regular
users of the canal at this time. This
fact, with tho fact that Chilean and
Peruvian steamers make the Atlantic
rather than the l'aclllc terminal thl-lr
Canal port, Is one of the greatest sur
prises of Canal operation nnd most
marked results of the European war's
effect upon canal tralllc.
Chilean and Peruvian ships will prac
tically have the canal to themselves if
the closing of the ports of tho British
West Indies at night, Just announced
as a war nieasuru against German na
val raiders, tends to take English and
allied shipping nwny from the Canal
as effectively as high freight rates to
Europe liave taken United States ves
sels away from the waterway built for
their special benefit.

Immediately adjacent, to that of tho
regular passenger and freight steam

tho Canal from New York and Europe,

scheduled trips through the Canal af

passengers and freight for even such

nearby cities on tho East coast.
Popular Tourist Route.
This opportunity to see the Andes
and the Canal Is making tho isthmus
n much traveled tourist route. In
creasing numbers of people bound from
Argentina, notably Buenos Aires, for
the United States are making the voy
age by way of the Canal. They go to
Valparaiso by way of the Transandean
railway and embark there for the
Isthmus on one of the two regulnr lines
of stcnmer,s plying between Chile nnd
tho Atlantic terminus of the canal. The
voyage to the Pacilic entrance of thu
Canal Is about Hfteen days. At tho
Isthmus close connection Is made with
ships running to the United States,
which arc at sea from live to eight
days.
Steamship service to tho west coast
of South and Central America from the
Atlantic entrance of the Canal Is now
nlmost as continuous as the steamship
service through the Canal to other
parts of the world Is limited and irreg
ular. The Chilean line, known as the South
Aiuerlcau Steamship Company, main
tains approximately a weekly service '
between Chrislobal, tho Canal port at ,
the Atlantic entrance, and west coasl
ports as far south as Cristobal.
Tho Peruvian Steamship and Dock
company of Callao maintains a week
ly service between Cristobal and Ecu
ndorlan and Peruvian ports. These
Peruvian ships, built In Europe before
the war rind In every way up to the
requirements of lirst-class passenger
liners, make their principal calK at
Guayaquil and Palta. With sailings
each way about once u week, the Pe
ruvian iioats will make freight and
passenger transfers whether It is possl
blo and practical for an enterprising
and thoroughly up-to-the-minute man
agement to do so, and at the same time
keep close to Its published schedule.
Chilean line steamers are also llrst
class In the present use of the trav
eling world.
Manv Other Lines.
The Pacific Steam Navigation com
pany, an English company, operates
steamers from Cristobal as far south
os Valparaiso and Coronet and as far
north as San Jose de Guatemala, call
ing at all principal way ports. For the
Central American ports north of the
Canal this company's steamers leave
monthly. Tor Tumaco and Ecuadorian
ports as far south as Guajiiqiill the
l'aclllc Steam Navigation steamers
leave the Canal every three Weeks.

ports passed on each voyage.
Between the' Atlantic coast of the
United States and tho Pacific coast of
South America there Is the heavb st

The principal lines operating in this
service are the American nnd Oriental
line, the Barber line, Shewan Tomes

pany, a New Zealand corporation, has
a vessel between New York nnd New

to these boats the American-Australian
and the Commonwealth and Dominion
lines serve the samo trade area with a

That there is no United States coast
wise trade through the Canal, thu
World's correspondence from here has
made as clear as that even for sailing
