This Price Will Hold For Some Years. A well advised commercial authority glves it as Lis opinion, “as n slow descent may be «counted ¢n in the prices for grain when the war ends it may take several years to restore the world's stock of foodstuffs to nor mal-—there is good ground for confl dence in the outlook for rapid devel opment in agriculture.” If this be correct, it follows that the profession of farming will mate- rlally Increase its ranks in the next few years. Today, the price of wheat is set by the United States government at per bushel, and in Canada the has been set at $2.21. This, of course, i8 less freight and handling charges which bring ers at about $2.00 per bushel, This price will pay so long as lund, mate- rial and labor can be secured at rea sonable prices, It remains for the would-be producer to ascertain where he can secure these at prices that will make the production of grain profit able, He will estimate what price he can afford to pay for land that will give him a yield of wheat which when sold at $2.00 per bushel, will return him a | falr profit. Local and social condi- tions will also enter into the considera- tlon. Finding what he wants he would | be wise to make his purchase now. Land prices in some portions of the country are low, certainly as low as they will ever be. City property and town property will fluctuate, but farm property will hold its own. The price | of grain is as low as it will be for some years. Therefore it would be well to look about, and find what can be done. i There are doubtless many opportu nities in the United States, especially in the Western States, to purchase | { good agziicultural lands, that will pro duce well, at reasonable prices, If the | would-be buyer has the time to inves- | tigate, and that is needed, for these lands do not exist in any considerable area, he would be well repaid. Not | only will his land'certainly increase in | value—the unearned increment would | be an asset-—while under cultivation he | can find nothing that will give better results. He will at the same time be performing a patriotic act, a needful act, one that would meet with the food controller's plea to increase agricul tural production and assist in reducing | the deficit of 75 million bushels of wheat reported by the controller. In addition to the vacant lands in the United States which should be brought under cultivation, Western Canada offers today the greatest area of just the land that is required, and at low prices—pric2s that cannot last long. Even now lend prices are in- ereasing, as their visue is daily becom- 1g more apparent, and their location sirable, As to the intrinsic value of land in ‘estern Canada, hundreds of concrete ses could be cited, which go to rove that at fifty and sixty dollars br acre—figures that have recently heen paid for improved farms — the | crops grown on them gave a profit of even higher, on such an investment. One instance, is that of a young Eng- | lishman, unaccustomed to farming be- fore he took his seat on the sulky plow with which he does most of his work, after allowing himself $1,000 for | his own wages last year, made a profit | of $2,200 on a $20,000 investment. His total sales amounted to $5,700 and his | expense, which included the §1,000 wages for himself, was $3,500. The | interest was 1115 per cent. To the man who does not care to buy or who has not the means to pur- chase, but possesses wealth in his own hardihood, his muscle, and determina- tion, there are the thousands of free | homesteads of which he may have the | pick on paying an entry fee of ten dollars. These are high class lands | and adapted to all kinds of farming. | Send to your nearest Canadian Gov- ernment Agent for literature, deserip- tive of the splendid opportunities that are still open in Western Canada.
