RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF ft GREAT DEMAND FOR CANADIAN LAND Americans Arc Buyers and Be coming Settlers Anxious to Get Cheap and Produc tive Land. Reports nrc to hand tlint there will bo n large Influx of settlers from the United States Into the Cnnnillun West during the coming S-prlng. For n time there hns been a fulling off, on account of the fenr of conscription, which of course wns not possible, nnd which the Cnnndlnn Government gave every ns Furnnce would not be put Into opera tlon. In any case It would not nffect the American settler, and more than that the man who was working on the farm, helping to prodmv the grain that goes to feed those who are at war, would not be affected. The excellent yields of the Western Canada crops, and the high prices se cured Is having its Inlluence on those looking for homes. The authenticated reports that have been sent out from time to time that this farmer and that farmer had paid for their entire farm holdings out of one crop has reached the ears of the man looking for a farm, "When lie hears that O. H. P.eatty of nton, Alberta, had 07O bushels of wheat from 11! acres or an average of HG bushels to the acre, he becomes Interested. When he learns that Sid ney K. Phillips of l'.edileford. Alberta, threshed ten hundred and llfty-three bushels of wheat, the average being Zt'lVi bushels per acre, his Interest Is further aroused. Thos. Long of I.eth brldge had 1-0 bushels of oats to the acre from n Held of H." ncres W. Qulnn of Milk Illver had 0.05W bushels of whent from 100 acres, an average of 00 bushels per acre, and Itohert Tackaberry of Nobleford makes uflldii vlt that be had an average of seventy six bushels of wheat per acre from n Held of 10.C.1 acres. Thos. Roulton of the same place makes allldavlt that from fifty ncres he bad a yield of flfty-thrco bushels of wheat per acre. Newell ,T. Noble's allldavlt of getting 51 bushels per acre from 1,000 acres stands out most Ktromrlv ns evidence of what the i,1,rwf rr.,i.if n ., ,1.. MM.Il ., iTl.ln l la It strengthened by n paragraph stating that he had 122 bushels and .'10 lbs. per aero from SO 1.(10 acres. Mrs. Nancy Coo makes allldavlt that on her farm at Nobleford she threshed six thou sand one hundred nnd ten bushels of wheat from one hundred nnd fifteen acres, or fifty-three bushels nnd eight lbs. per acre, nnd from a flax field (stubble field) she got 20 bushels nnd 38 pounds per acre. It cannot be said that these were freak yields because so ninny had such great success. When these reports nro read, the man looking for n farm he comes convinced. These nre only n few of the reasons that will cause n large Influx of Amer ican farmers Into the Canadian West during the coming Spring. The fnrmers now resident in Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are purchasing additional lands. Prices nro low and Free homestead Innd can be had in many districts and the horm steader Is welcome.
