Canada Wheat Boom Prompts U S Farmers to Pivot North
A Chicago Inter Ocean excerpt notes 1909 U S wheat output at 737 million bushels while 1910 forecasts fall to 695 million, signaling possible reliance on Canada. The piece argues high U S prices and cheaper Canadian lands could drive farmers north for wheat, cattle, and oats amid a growing population. It includes a letter from Turtle Lake Saskatchewan describing climate, land, and opportunities for American settlers, plus side anecdotes on smoke issues and domestic life.
