THE CENSUS
OF CANADA
ITS GROWTH IN TEN YEARS
PAST.
A census of tho Dominion of Canada
will bo made during 1911. It will
show that during tho paBt decado a
romarkablo development has token
plncO. nnd. when compared with tho
population, a greater pcrcentago o'f In
crease in industries of all klnda than
has ovor been shown by any couutry.
Commerce, mining, ugrlculturo nnd
rallwnys havo mado a steady march,
onward. Tho population will bo con
siderably ovor 8,000,000. Thousands
of miles ot railway lines have been,
construction slnco tho last census waa
taken ten years ago. This construc
tion was mado necessary by the open
ing up ot tho new agricultural dis
tricts in Western Canada, in which,
thero havo been pouring year after
year nn increasing numbor of settlers,
until tho present year wilt witness
settlement of over 300,000, or a trlflo
less than one-third of tho immigration
to tho United States during tho samo
period with Its 92,000,000 ot popula
tion. Even with theso hundreds of
thousands of newcomers, tho great
majority of whom go upon tho land,
thero Is still available room lor hun
dreds of thousands additional. Tho
census figures will theroforo Bhow a
great a vast lncrcaso tn tho num
ber ot fitrms under occupation, as well
as In the output of the farms. When,
tho figures of tho splendid Immigra
tion aro added to tho natural Increase,
tho total will surprise cvon tho most
optimistic. To tho excellent growth
that the western portion ot Canada
will show may largely bo attributed
tho commercial and industrial growth
of tho eastern portion of Canada. All
Canada Is being upbuilded, and In this
transformation thero Is taking part
tho peoplo from many countries, but
only from thoso countries that pro
duce the strong and vigorous. As
somo evldcnco Of the growth of the
western portion of Canada, In agricul
tural Industry, it is instructive to
point out that over 100,000 home
steads of 1G0 acres each have been
transferred to actual settlers tn tho
past two years. This means 25,000
squaro miles of territory, and then,
when Is added tho 40,000 ICO-acro pre
emption blocks, there Is an additional
10,000 squaro mites, or a total of 35,
000 square miles a territory as largo
as tho Stato of Indiana, and settled
within two years. Reduced to tho
producing capacity lmpcratlvo on tho
cultivation restriction of 50 acres of
cultivation on each ICO-acro home
stead within throo years, thero will
bo within a year and a half from now
upwards of 6,000,000 additional acres
from this ono sourco added to tho en
tire producing area of tho Provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. In 1901, at tho tlmo of tho lest,
census of Canada, successful agricul
ture In tho Provinces of Monitoha,
Saskatchewan and Alberta was an
experiment to many. Thoro wero
skeptics who could not bellevo that
It was posslblo to grow thirty, forty
and even fifty bushels ot wheat to tho
acre, or that as high as ono hundred
and thirty bushels of oats to tho acre
could bo grown. Tho skeptics aro not
to bo found today. Tho ovidenco ot
tho hundreds of thousands of farmers
Is too overwhelming. Not only havo
tho lands ot western Canada proven
their worth in the mntter of raising
all tho smaller field grains, but for
mixed forming, nnd for catllo raising
thero is no better country anywhere.
Tho cllmnto Is perfectly adapted to nil
theso pursuits ns well as admirable
for health. Tho Dominion government
literature, descriptive of tho country,
is what nil that aro interested should
read. Send for a copy to tho nearest
Canadian government representative.
