From the Crop of Wheat on 53
Acres in Western Canada.
This story of paying for your land
out or one year's crop Is fully authen
ticated by n great iniiiiy farmers In
Western Canada.
And now, all that tlio fanner innltea
Ib vvet ami you Hml lilm going inoro
extensively Into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that In a short time
thero will he n demand for live Mock,
such as even will tax the vast, re
sources of Western Canada. They
will go Into stock raising because of
the adaptability of the country to pro
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain If necessary. They will go Into
Mock and Improve their places. They
will Install steam and heating plants
In fact, many are now doing It. They
will have automobiles, In fact In many
' districts there Is not a farmer but has
ono. They will lieautiiy tneir nomes construction.
and erect fine barns until the whole tl response to an appeal to their
country will be as attractive as many patriotism h Secretary Uniilcls, the
of the counties in the best states In ' mnj,,r shipbuilders lme agreed to ne
the Union. Hut we started out to tell ,.,.j, u per rent net profit on the bat
yon of the farmer who paid for Kit) I n,. cruisers, whose cost will represent
acres of land from the crop of wheat i about .njtij.ooo.imio or the total sum In
off of fill acres. The Hidden district volved In the contracts. A llfth bat
on the Hue of the Grand Trunk 1'aclllc
does not appear to the ordinary ob
server to he any better than many
other districts along that Hue, and
probably Isn't. It was In this district
that John I.arcome, a settler, pur
chased In 1!Mf 100 acres of raw prai
rie laud. He broke and seeded ftt
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of It for
$2,070. His laud cost him $l(..r.( per
ere, or ?U,(M(. So that the crop from
the K acres paid for the land and left
a balance of over ?!MH), which with
pnrt of the crop left over would Just
pay for the cost of operation. This
Is not really an unusual case, hundreds
of other farmers In Alberta and Sas
katchewan having been able to do the
mine.
Sales of land nre being reported
from many districts In Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
How of any value that will take placo
after the war, no doubt they will bo
considerably Increased. The home

to the treasury department lndlcato
the government will collect $1100,000,
000 In Income taxes during the current
year, or about two and one-half times

months. Internal revenue receipts
nro expected to exceed $700,000,000,
an increase of nearly $200,000,000.
The time for filing income returns
expired March 1. Most of tho In
crease Is due to the higher rato of tax
ation. Collections actually made up to
