A New Use For This Word
The New Post Tc.asties are truly entitled to the
word "delicious."
They're distinguished by the tiny bubbles found
on each flake and they carry the full, rich flavour of
choice, white Indian corn — not found in corn flakes
of the past.
And unlike common corn flakes, they are not"chaffy"
in the package and don't grow mushy in milk or cream.
Note carefully the tiny bubbles—then try a hand-
ful dry to test the flavour. In comparison, other corn
flakes are as "chalf "

THE LAND-HUNGRY
It Is Essentially an Agricultural
Country.
Western Canada is the Mecca of the
fund hungry man who wishes to earn
' good living frarn the soil and stive up
uone.N to take care ot" him in his old
uge without paying a fancy price for
the privilege.
Wesu rn Canada is the great wheat
reducing section of the North Anier-
•an continent, with an average pro-
liiction ol' more than .' () bushels to the
ere as compared with an average of
17 bushels to the acre in the States.
W'heat raising can hardly be made
. it titable on land that costs from $50
.in acre up unless such laud will pro-
luce a much higher than a 17 bushel
i vera go, or unless the price of the
ereal reaches an excessive figure.
The initial investment of $50 an acre
is more than the average man can af-
ield to make if he expects to raise
wheat and to make a success of it.
A good homestead of 100 acres can
till l e secured free in Western Can-
da and additional laud admirably
suited to the raising of wheat can be
secured at so low i, cost per acre that
It can lie made extremely profitable.
No other part of tlx4 world offers
such tremendous opportunities at the
present time to the ambitious young
farmer as the three great provinces of
Western Canada.
It Is worth the while of the land-
lnmgry man to cease his depressing
search for local cheap land or for
land that is not entirely worked out by
long cropping and to look outside his
wn district. Western Canada is a
uiutry that should receive the con-
sideration of all such men. The West-
ern Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta are essentially agrl-
ultural territory.
Out of 478 million acres there are
>o million acres of first-Class agricul
turn! land actually available for do
lopment—a block thtee and a half
nes as large as the total land area of
Minnesota, and equal to the combined
and areas of Minnesota, Iowa, Wis-
•>ns!n. Illinois and Indiana.
I.ut whereas the population of the
stutes mentioned is fifteen million
people, the population of Western
Canada is only about one ami three-
quarter millions.
It has been said that the average
>ieM per acre of wheat in the United
fates last year was 17 bushels. This
iverage does not, of course, represent
lie efficiency which may have been
iached by individual fanners or by
udividual states. However, place
1 inst this figure the fact that the
Ho Western Canadian average—the
average from nearly twelve million
acres—was over JW) bushels. In the
ise of the Province of Alberta, the
vcrage reached .'VJ.st bushels per acre.
I here are already a large number of
\mer!can farmers in Western Canada.
