FARM AT $10. PER ACRc
In the Canadian Pacific's 3.000.&00 acre tract ofwheai land east of Cl
put on the market at $10. per sere, on 10 years time at 6 percent interest.
This land lies directly on the main line of the Canadian Pacific and one crop of wheat or oats witl pay for it.
The winter is open and mild and Umatilla County purchasers are moving over this monih to began work on their
new farms.
Mordo McDonald, of Walla Walla,- but well known in Grande Ronde, is sending over a big farming outfit to
begin work on his section and a half east of Calgary. He says that it is the best wheat country on the American
Continent. '
Bert Huffman, formerly of Union county, is farming his land east of Calgary thrs year. Conductors Jack
Smith and Len McCrary, of the 0. R. & N. will begin work on a section near Strafchmore this spring.
Wheat raising on the Canadian Pacific tract is not an experiment now. Miles Parrel, a farmer near Calgary har
vested 46 1-2 bushels of winter wheat per acre on a full half section of new land.
Yields from 50 to 60 bushels have been commonly repotted all through the new settlement in the Bow River Val
ley. One crop pays for the land.. A. E Burnett harvested 60 1-2 bushels of No. 1 winter wheat on new land east of
Calgary in 1908. Over 160 bushels of oats were grown on hnd adjoining the above tract. Spring wheat matures in
120 days owing to the long hours of sunshine in ihe growing season.
DON'T BE A RENTER WHEN YOV.CAN OWN A H0ME&N A NEW COUNTRY. You can pay for a section of
land in Alberta with one crop Othsrs have dene it, why not you?
The next party wMI leave Pendleton for Calgary on Tuesday, February 16. Co now and get a choice tract on the
main line of the railroad.
