Prairies Prosperity Draws Indiana Immigrants
A Indiana land man recounts Western Canada as a land of rapid wealth and rising farms. He cites Beaumunk of Brazil earning income near 100 dollars monthly and saving substantial sums, Smith brothers from Lancashire turning homesteaders with growing wheat and oats yields, and widespread reports of 35 to 53 bushel per acre wheat and 60 to 100 bushel oats. The piece praises railroad towns, thriving elevators, and dry, cold winters that do not deter progress as winter works continue. Information on homestead lands advised from Canadian Government Agents.
