The article argues that Western Canada offers high returns by growing grain on low priced lands at minimal cost. Wheat yields of forty bush per acre are common with net prices above 2.60 per bushel, making profits from 50 to 100 percent on investments like 4000 dollars. Government incentives include tax exemptions, non assessment of buildings and stock, and reduced railway rates to attract settlers and boost grain production.
