Western Canada praised by a Saskatchewan farmer letter
George E. Hunter of Maidstone Saskatchewan writes to a Canadian Government Agent in 1907 about his first year in the west. He notes mild autumns, snow thaw cycles, and strong crops with wheat prices from 60 cents to $1.10 a bushel. He describes soil layers, excellent water, and advises investing in cattle, creameries, and dairy farms near homesteads, aided by growing railroad routes and a market for stock.
