The whole price of the farm is payable in twenty years, one-twentieth each year, with interest at 6 per cent per annum. This may look like a philanthropic scheme, and the shrewd farmer will ask himself. Why does the Canadian Pacific Railway go to all the expense and trouble of making these improvements, and then tuifn them over at cost to the farmer? The answer is that it is good business for the Company to have closely settled districts of farmers and their families along its line. The Company has absolute confidence in the fertility of its lands, and although it requires no security from the farmer other than his first payment (one-twen-tieth of the price), it is quite sure that the farmer, under such conditions, if he applies himself, will “make good,” and it knows that in the land it has perfect security for its investment. Although this policy works, put greatly to the advantage of the settler with small .capital, it is strictly a business undertaking from the point of vlevl ‘of the Company. Ready-made farms have been established In a number of colonies in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The location and number of available farms is constanly changing, and the intending purchaser should get in touch with the Company and make a personal visit to the available farms in which he may be Interested. In this connection it may- be explained that the Company nevei; sells a farm, either raw or unimproved, until after the settler has made a personal examination of it, by himself or accredited representative, and has expressed his satisfaction with it Readymade farms can be had either irrigated or non-irrigated. The price of the non-lrrigated land ranges from |ll.OO to $30.00 per acre; irrigated lands range from $35.00 to $70.00 per acre. In the case of a ready-made farm, the cost of the farm improvements, as above outlined, is added.

And yet the Canadian West is today an importer, instead of an exporter, of live stock and dairy and poultry products; as a result, prices for crop on the hoof are high, making an exceptionally attractive market. To sum up, the Canadian Pacific Railway has no land for sale to speculators, but to actual settlers it offers fertile lands at low prices on twenty-year terms of payment. Interest at six per cent per annum. The Company will extend aid to the value of $2,000 for farm improvements, and advance live stock, in approved instances, up to a total value of SI,OOO and assist the settler in every possible way. The Company has never yet foreclosed on a farmer making an honest effort to get on his feet To the progressive farmer. Western Canada offers greater opportunity for advancement than any other district on the face of the earth. Western Canada’s best advertisement is the success that has attended the efforts of those already here. They are calling on their brothers to follow, and the results is strikingly shown in the ever-swelling flood of immigration which is pouring into these rich provinces from the leading agricultural countries of America and Europe. These settlers from the United States, the British Isles, and the hardy and progressive races of Northern Europe, coming in ever-increasing numbers, are the best evidence of the advantages which intelligent men and women find in Western Canada.
