WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLD'S FOOD
STUFFS.
The present demand for foodstuffs
in all parts of tho world, and the ex
penso of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make It seem that west
ern Canada came Into evidence at the
crucial period, There is to bo found
the opportunity that will bo a largo
factor In meotlng this demand. With
its millions of acros of land, easily
cultlvatable, highly productive, acces
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, tho opportunities
that aro offered and afforded are too
great to bo overlooked.
Thero havo been booms in almost
every civilized country and they wero
looked upon as Buch, and in the courso
of tlmo tho bubble was pricked und
was burst But in no country has tho
development been as great nor as
rapid, whothcr in city or in country,
as In western Canada.
Tho provinces of Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta have the larg
est area of desirable landB on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has Just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent of tho land is under tho
ploughs, four per cent, being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 71,000,000 bushels. It
Is a simple calculation to estimate
that if four per cent, of the avallablo
cultlvatable area produces something
over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44
per cent, produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 It was 49,149,
17,000 being from the United States;
In 1906 it was 189,064, of which 67,000
were Americans, and in 1913 it waa
about 400,000, of which about 140,000
were Americans. But why have they
gdtae to Canada? The American farm
er Is a man .of shrewd business In
stincts, Just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds-that he can sell his
own farm at from $100 to $200 per
acre and move Into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half a section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and of age upon lands
as rich and fertilo as those "he left,
and producing Indeed several bushels
to tho acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, It will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
lAnd then, too, thero is tho American
capital following the capital of brawn,
musclo and sinew, following it so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which it lias'hnd dealings
for years back. This capital and tho
capital of farming experience la no
small matter In tho building up of a
country.
Nothing is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the world's history
has attracted to Its borders a larger
number of settlers in so short a time,
or has attracted so much wealth in a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never beforo has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist In western Canada today. Ad
