YOUR CHANCE HERE
Unbounded Prosperity Ahead of
Western Canada
Opportunity Beckons 8ettlers of All
Kinds— “With the Golden Wake
That Marked the Way the Happy
Reapers Went"— James Whitcomb
Riley
The war having been brought to a
favorable conclusion more attention
can now be given to the agricultural
and Industrial development of Western
Canada which were checked by the
troublous -times of the past four years
Now that these are over the proper
development of the country will be
continued
True much agricultural progress has
been made during this time Crop pro-
duction has been greatly increased the
number of live stock has steadily
grown and with each succeeding year
the dairying and wool Industries have
become more Important But despite
this forward march many phases of
development have been held in check
The activities of farmers too have
been greatly hampered by shortage of
labor and under the circumstances
what they have achieved can only be
described as marvelous
Excepting those Industries closely al-
lied to agriculture such as butter and
cheese manufacture Industrial activity
In the Prairie Provinces has been al-
most at a standstill And even In
these branches extensions have been
strictly limited to those of urgent ne-
cessity Building has been consider-
ably curtailed especially In the towns
and cities though many commodious
and up-to-date dwellings barns and
other buildings have been erected by
farmers In the country Indeed the
amount of building farmers have done
Is one of the outward signs of their
prosperity but considerably more of
It would have been done had not tbe
more important work of food produc-
tion received priority in the labor
available Railway construction work
has been almost entirely suspended
With more help available and tbe
use of tbe labor-saving devices that
have been adopted during the last few
years groat advances In the agricul-
tural development of Western Canada
might be looked for even If no new
settlers were expected but the com-
ing of thousands of prospective set-
tlers who have hitherto been deterred
only by the unsettled conditions from
making their homes in this last great
West will give a considerable Impetus
to every phase of agriculture In these
Prairie Provinces
Hand In hand with the development
of agriculture there will be a renewal
of Industrial activity For the estab-
lishment of such Industries as sugar
refineries canneries and many other
Industries fur the utilization of the
products of the land ns well as for
the extension of the already impor-
tant Industries of butter and cheese
manufacture are splendid opportuni-
ties Mining lumbering quarrying
the manufacture of clay products are
also a few Industries capable of con
slderable growth and 'to which great
er attention can now be devoted
To provide accommodation for pres-
ent business requirements alone would
keep the building trade busy for a
long tImeKbut with further develop-
ment In the cities it is Impossible to
foresee any slackness In any branch of
this trade And the number of farm-
ers whose needs have outgrown their
present accommodation and who havs
been awaiting an opportunity to re
place their buildings by larger and
more modern ones Is considerable and
constantly increasing Municipal work
will be gradually resumed and the
railways have much work In contem-
plation All this points to a period of great
prosperity In Western Canada — agri-
cultural and industrial prosperity Tbe
former is the more Important for on
it the latter depends Being prima-
rily an agricultural country Western
Canada will probably pass through tbe
readjustment period with little diffi-
culty There is no reason to believe that
farming will be less remunerative than
It has been In the past there are on
the other hand many good and sound
reasons for believing that the returns
will be as large as ever One thing Is
certain Intelligent farming on the
fertile prairies of Western Canada re-
quiring as It does the smallest possi-
ble capital outlay compared with that
required to get a start In older set-
tled countries will continue to be one
of the quickest and surest ways to in-
dependence that can be followed by
the average man — Advertisement
