WHAT SETTLERS IN SASKATCHE WAN VALLEY HAVE TO SAY.

Formerly from the United States. Rosthern, J,uly 8, 1000. Frank Pedley, Esq., Superintendent of Immigration: Sir—We, the undersigned, settlers in Saskatchewan, township 43, range 6, beg to submit the following letter. We came from Springfield, Bonhomme County, South Dakota, in the spring of 1899, and settled where we now reside. We had considerable crop last year we put in on new breaking, and It was very good, and this year, 1900, our crop is excellent. Our wheat will yield about twenty bushels to the acre, the oats arid barley are also very good, and our potatoes and root crop all that could be desired. We consider thia a fine country, and ate glad we came, as our prospects could not be better. A poor man will get a start in this country much quicker than in Dakota. We are yours respectfully, John H. Schultz, H. A. Goshen, S. Gors, B. H. Dirks, C. D. Unry, P. Unry, A. Ratzlief, all from South Dakota, U. S. A.
