Alberta Boom Story of Merriam Farm Success and Western Canada
A. E. Merriam of Dalroy Alberta describes moving from Devil’s Lake North Dakota in 1909 with six horses two cattle and about 1500 dollars. He expanded to seven horses four cattle and about one hundred hogs with a four room house barn and modern equipment. He reports hog feeding yielding 5000 dollars gross last year and notes land values rising to 25 to 35 dollars per acre with modest taxes. He credits livestock farming over grain and says Alberta’s climate rivals Dakota, predicting continued demand for farm labor and high wages with government conscription guarantees.
