Advocates of reciprocity are making statements to the effect that the adoption of reciprocity will immediately increase the value of Canadian farm lands 25 per cent or more. Instead of making wild guesses let us get {at the facts. Since the reciprocity negotiations began the United States Govern- ment has had a report prepared by experts showing the compar- ative value per acre of inproved farm lands in 1900 and 1910 in va- rious border states and in the Ca- nadian provinces adjoining them. This report states that Jbetween 1900 and 1910 the value of improv- ed Iarm land's increased 67 per cent. in Maine. '37 per cent in New Hampshire, 33 per cent. in Verâ€" mo-nt ’1231 per cent. in Nova Scotia. 120 per cent in New Brunswick, 70 per cent in Prince Edward Island, 80 per cent in Quebec, 43 per cent. in Ontario, 39 per cent. in Michigin 77 per cent. in Minnesota, 1:23 per cent. in Manitoba. 201 per cent. in Saskatchewan. and 158 per cent. in Alberta. The .great influx of settlers in 31“ Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alâ€" 5‘“ herta account-s for the rapid inâ€" “71 crease 'in farm values in those Des provinces, but What is the explaulfan nation of (the extraordinary imlw ‘ crease in farm values in the three 119‘ Maritime Provinces of Canada?i dm Whv did Nova Scotia farm values .111 increase 181 per cent. While farm. ’01 values in the neighboring state of id? Maine only increase 67 per cent. f0? Undoubtedly the great increase of values in the Maritime Provinc- es is due to the establishment of manufacturing industries in recent years. The establishment of great iron and steel industries in Nova Scotia has revolutionized condi- tions throughomt the 3 provinces. A profitable home market has been created for everything the farmers produce. These ind-us- tries have «been equally beneficial to fishermen. As ‘the steel indus- tries are located in Nova Scotia the influence on the price of :farm land-s has been most marked in that province. but Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick have been greatly benefited. The de- velopment of St. John as a winter port has also helped to increase farm values in New Brunswick. His son John is on his way home from Seattle «to be present at the ;fuueral. and for this reason inter- !ment has been delayed until Fri: ; day afternoon at two o’cloeknvhen Ethe remains will be laid at rest in Durham cemetery in the presence of all the members of the sfaamily except William, who resides in British Columbia. It Win be noted thsu’; the increase in farm values is considerably greater in Quebec than in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and OBITUARY. ’ RHEUMATISM Continued from page 1 Cured By Boo'h's Kitlnoy Pills ways a hardy ind rugged mamf T.E.
