Western Canada and its Great Resources
The Testimony of Settlers, farmer Delegates and high Authorities

24 WESTERN CANADA requisites for successful fanning are found here in great abundance and of a veiy fine class; the water is first-class and there is just enough timber for building purposes and fuel, without it being in the way for farming operations. In conclusion, we wish to state, that the best evidence we can. give of our entire satisfaction with the country is this, that as soon as we possibly can, we are going to sell out our property in the State of Maine and move to the great Canadian. North-west, where we intend to take up land and make our future home, and our advice to every m in. is : “ Go and do likewise.” A. H. Price, North Fryeburg, Maine. F. A. Russell, Andover, Maine. We have had» the pleasure of seeing that country and would advise those seeking homes to go and see for themselves. Any information, we can give, will be cheerfully given. J. V. Spooner, Bakersfield, Vt. John Lum bro, Belvedere, Vt. C. H. Burt, Enosburgh Falls, Vt. B. C. Gallup, Sheldon, Vt. A. W. Goff, Richford, Vt. Wm. A. Pollard, Westford, Vt. We, the undersigned, after having visited the leading points in the Canadian North-west, where we made a careful study of the soil and climate and the condition of the people now settled there, are glad to say that the reports which we have read from time to time in. the literature sent out by the Canadian Government did not in the least exaggerate the resources of tho country. We are satisfied that the inducements held out, whereby the man with small means can secure for himself and family a good home, are not offered anywhere else on the continent, and can conscientiously advise any of our friends who are not satisfied with their present condition, to locate in the North- west Territories of Canada.

Ax Englishman’s Opinion. Churchbridge, Assa., May 26th, 1892. I came to this country five years ago this spring. I have 43 acres in crop, viz.:—19 acres of wheat, 16 acres of oats, and 8 acres of barley, besides half an. acre of potatoes. The soil is good and the country around here is well adapted for mixed farming. Dry- firewood is becoming rather scarce but still plenty of green wood is left. I struck good water at a depth of 20 feet in 1887 and have had a plentiful supply ever since. The winter here is very cold at times, but on the whole I think the climate preferable to the English, for though we have some more severe weather we have a great deal much better. As to future prospects, I have no fear but that I can make a good living by farming out here, and have no desire to return to the Old Country to farm there as I consider I can do better here. In proof that this is my candid opinion. I have written to two of my brothers advising them to give up their farms in. England and come out here and take up land near me. HENRY ROBERTS.
