Western Canada lands praised for wheat and growth prospects
An American writer in New England Magazine argues Western Canada offers fertile soil, liberal government, and strong wheat and grazing potential. He cites the Saskatchewan valley and the Canada North Dakota Land Company, noting higher yields than in nearby American states and urging settlers from Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakotas to consider Manitoba and the Northwest Territories as new homes for prosperity.

Sleeping Empire Awakens Land Boom Forecast
The text markets fertile lands as a safe profitable investment for idle money. It claims immense immigration now rushing into the district, promising land values to double or triple as settlers arrive, urging buyers to act before prices rise.
Saskatchewan Valley Agricultural Excellence and Wheat Yield
The region boasts deep alluvial loam soil with clay subsoil and ample rainfall. Water is accessible at 14 to 30 feet, and 1960 droughts in nearby North Dakota did notstop Assiniboia and Saskatchewan from averaging 25 bushels per acre. Wheat yields exceed those of other areas, with last year reaching over 40 bu per acre.

What Irrigation Means and Its National Impact

Reclaimable land and abundant water suggest North Dakota will benefit, with survey and construction by the geological survey underway to assess current irrigation extent.

Irrigation expansion eyed as 57th Congress backs census effort
The Fifty-seventh Congress authorized the census director to update 1900 irrigation statistics. Letters and schedules are being sent to gather information. Estimated reclaimable land is 50 million acres, potentially adding 1.25 million farms and a population rise of about 9.4 million. Irrigated land could add $1.25 billion to farm land value and far more in associated economic growth. There are over 20,000 irrigation ditches totaling 50,000 miles, enough to circle the globe twice. Cost to reclaim the proposed area is estimated at about $450 million, with annual crop value far exceeding ongoing irrigation costs.
