FARM EMIGRATION 10 CANADA RISES Nariety of Reasons Gited for t Agricultural Move to Dominion. Ppecial Dispatch to The Star. TORONTO, June 32—The flow of $mmigration from the United States to (Canada is now greater than from Can- #da to the United States, according to the latest figures, which show that hearly 25,000 citizens of the United Btates emigrated to Canada Jast year. fThat number is less than emigrated during each of the two years previous, but then young Canadians left for erican points in greater numbers han now. While urban centers take their toll of United States immigrants, the greater number tale to farming, working some | of the 240,001,000 acres of uncultivated fand available for agriculture in the dominion. Much of this is free gov- ernment homestead land, but also a certain percentage is near railroads, pelling at about $15 an acre. This shifting of farm population from the United States to Canada, it is un- derstood, has the approval of the “United States Department of Labor, and is due to several reasons. Most of the dmmigrant farmers leave well populated farming regions in States along the in- ternational border. Small farmers, as well as sons of farmers who want to | stay on the farm, make up this exodus. Taxation has a great deal to co with the movement. In Canada there is but @ small tax on land value, and that is about the only tax. There is no tax| on personal property or on farm prop- erty. This leaves the farmer in Canada 8 greater profit. ‘Transportation being Jess in Canada by about 7 cents a bushel, this cuts down considerably on the production cost and leaves the garmer better off. The American farmer coming to Can- @da finds first of all no language diffi- culty. He remains practically in the same environment as in his home State. No atte is made to make him fore- swear & though citizenship is preferred, same as it is in any country. Only in the case of the homesteading farmer is 1t necessary to take out citizenship pa- pers. And this only after five years’ resjdence in the country. A homestead claim for 160 acres can be filed if the applicant states his intention of ulti- mately becoming a British subject. He has to cultivate the land to retain his claim, and when he becomes a citizen of Canada he receives the deed to the propert; Am tle on the farm do not as a rule stick | John W. to the settlements. They take advan- |Phillip J. Webb, Roy K. - tage of the homestead offerings, and Peace River country. This country, the finest agricultural districts in the day are enacted the deeds that & cen- tury ago were synonymous with the opening up of the entire West. Here are still Hudson Bay Co. posts, are still places which bear “Fort” as a prefix. But here, with modern equipment, farmers are growing the world’s best wheat. For Herman Trelle, & former American from Idaho, has.for several years carried off the world wheat cham- pionship title at Chicago with the Mar- quis wheat, which he grows at Wem- bley. It is in the Peace River country that the best land in the world is available today, and many an American treks to that Northern region, which not 50 long ago was referred to as & land of snow, but which has shown that it can raise bumper crops on its 47,000,000 acres.
