Have Bright Future When Reciprocity is in Force MARKETS WILL GIVE THE CHANCE FOR BIG PROFITS THAT OPENING UP OF NEW RAILWAYS GIVES TO THE WEST What is the cause of the exodus young farmers from to the- West That cause doe not lie in the possibility of producing more to the acre there then is produced here because there is no such possibility I he soil of the Western Provinces is not fer tile than is the soil of older Ontario It does not lie in the possibility of higher prices for the products of Western farms than arc obtainable in Ontario because farm products sell a lower level in the West than they do here WILL INCREASE LAND VALUES Th- great draw poycr of the West is found i the hope it of rich returns from increasing land values A man takes up a homestead or buys at a low price a

annual increase in the returns from an average hundredacre farm so obtainable at to a year With this increase the annual returns from Ontario farms there must come an increase in farm values The double profit will tend not to check the present outflow of population it will promote an Young farmers here seeing lands at present valu ed 60 and per acre gradual If rising towards the hun dred
