Townsend Bills Not An Expedient For Highway Reform

B E Thompson of Brant Alberta predicts a flood of post war immigration from the United States to Canada next spring. He, a former American, notes some settlers have come this year but far fewer than expected, and foresees many American soldiers becoming Canadian farmers after returning from the war. He cites abundant land and pre war price land sales, including his own purchase of 18 quarter-sections near the Canadian National Railway in Saskatchewan at $20 an acre.

Wheat yields and land payoff for Canadian settlers
The text argues a settler can clear profits on one wheat crop. If the farmer spends 3200 dollars for land and averages 300 bushels per acre, planting 100 acres yields 3000 bushels. At two dollars per bushel, gross is six thousand dollars, nearly double the farm cost, suggesting land repayment is feasible even at modest prices.
