WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.
S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on Land, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at. Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion. Alberta. They put 240 acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr.
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers of the firm says: .
•I have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province of Al
berta. Canada, this year {1910 we har
vested and threshed 10,600 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of 44 bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.85 per bushel, making a total return
of $19,610. or an average of $81.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say. we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands.”
It might not be uninteresting to read
the report of C. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 160 acres at Cham
pion. Alberta, for $3,300 in December,
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of
it. and threshed 4.487 bushels Grade
No. 2 Northern.
Mr. Wright, being a thorough busi
ness man. gives the cost of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his land
and cost of operation he had $2,472.67

Twenty Years Experience With
