aland problem ahead
(FROM THE PEORIA JOURNAL.)
The Nebraska State Journal calls at-
tention to the fact that Uncle Sam's
opening of a 4,000-aere tract in the
North Platte irrigation district for set-
tlement practically winds up the "free
land distribution" of the nation. It
adds:
"Free or cheap land has been
the American safety valve. A
population straining for self-bet-
terment has had its own remedy—
to go west and grow up with the
country. With the government
reduced to advertising an opening
of forty-three farms, the safety
valve may be considered forever
closed. The expansive energy for-
merly exerted outward, must here-
after work itself out intensively.
Increasing land speculation, with
rapidly rising prices.of land and
proportionately Increasing dissat-
isfaction among the landless Would
seem inevitable. The tone of our
politics and the intensity of our
social problems cannot but be vi-
tally changed under the strain of
dealing internally with a social
pressure which hitherto has had
the wilderness to vent itself upon.
"'Land hunger' will soon become a
reality in this rapidly growing country
and the constant pressure of popula- j
tion, increasingly higher than the ratio
of production, is bound to bring us
face to face with economic problems i
that we have heretofore considered re- j
mote. The far-sighted statesman and
publicist must devote his thought
earnestly to the consideration of these !
questions if we are to escape the ex-
tremes which curse the older nations !
of the world."
In the above will be found one of !
the reasons that the Canadian Govern-
ment is offering 1G0 acres of land free (
to the actual settler. There is no 1
dearth of homesteads of this size, and
the land is of the highest quality, be- j
ing such as produces yields of from 30
to 60 bushels of wheat per acre, while
oats run from fifty to over hundred
bushels per acre. It is not only a mat-
ter of free grants, but in Western Can-
ada are also to be had other lands at
prices ranging from $12 to $::0 per
acre, the difference in price be'ng
largely a matter of location and dis-
tance from railway. If one takes into
consideration the scarcity of free
grant lands in the United States it is
not difficult to understand why there
has been most material advances in
the price of farm lands.
A few years ago, land that now sells
for two hundred dollars an acre In
Iowa, could have been bought for sev-
enty-five dollars an acre or less. The
Increased price is warranted by the
increased value of the product raised
on these farms. The lands that today
can be had in Western Canada at the
low prices quoted will in a less time
than that taken for the Iowa lands to
increase, have a proportionate in-
crease. In Nebraska the lands that
sold for sixteen to twenty dollars per
acre seven years ago, find a market at
one hundred and seventy-five dollars
an acre, for the same reason given for
the increase in Iowa lands. Values
in these two States, as well as in oth-
ers that might be mentioned, show
that Western Canada lands are going
at a song at their present prices. In
many cases in Western Canada today,
there are American settlers, who real-
ize this, and are placing a value of
sixty and seventy dollars an acre on
their improved farms, but would sell
only because they can purchase un-
improved land at such a low price that
in another few years they would have
equally as good farms as they left or
such as their friends have In the Unit
ed States.
The worth of the crops grown in
Western Canada is of higher value
than those of the States named, so why
should the land not be worth fully us
much. Any Canadian Government
Agent will be glad to give you infor-
mation as to homestead lands or where
you can buy.—Advertisement.
