Western Canada praised by a Saskatchewan farmer in 1907 letter
George B. Hunter of Maidstone Saskatchewan writes to a Canadian Government Agent about Western Canada. He describes mild early winter, a good thaw by April, above average crop yields, wheat prices around 1.10 per bushel, oats and barley prices, and strong cattle and dairy prospects with creameries expanding. He notes western climate adapting for horses, soil with black loam and ample water, and rail transport improving. He urges investment of 500 to 1000 dollars in cattle and promotes homesteading near hills, lakes, and sloughs for water. He ends by praising Western Canada and hints his letter is long enough.
