Western Canada grain offer stirs American settlers to move
The 1914 wheat crop in Western Canada is estimated at 135 million bushels, not as large as 1913, but prices promise higher farmer earnings. Drought in Alberta and Saskatchewan limited yields, yet vast prairie land remains advertised as freely available. Advocates urge Americans to move, invest in livestock and farming implements, and take advantage of favorable land prices and near-term prospects in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle praises the dream of grain fields spanning the prairies, fueling the appeal of Western Canada as a breadbasket and opportunity for wealth.
