Investment Difference At Sask Lands For Barr Ines
Mr George H Barr of town reports Saskatchewan land offers strong yields from pasture and cultivation yet common farm revenues are only 2 to 3 percent. His 1915 crop on a quarter section netted 5 percent. 1916 brought 1 645 bushels at 1 56 each totaling 2 503 08 with costs about 453 for seed and threshing. Barr notes another quarter yields big profits with careful management and renting unused land for pasture. He cites migrants like Geo Nt Kerton and Charles Haight who found success buying and farming, not renting. Barr preaches using natural pasture in summer and finishing cattle on farmsteads for market.
