Get Your Irrigated Farm 

 From the Canadian Pacific 



IN a climate not excelled by any agricultural 

 area in America you can own a fine, rich farm 

 of your own. The Canadian Pacific Railway offers 

 you this opportunity to achieve iudependence 

 and grow rich — in Western Canada. The lands 

 offered are in the largest aud most substantial 

 irrigation undertaking in the Continent. The 

 price is only $50 an acre — some for less. 



fee of from 50c to 81.25 per acre 

 forthe maintenance of the system 

 and the delivery of the water. Ir- 

 rigation here is not an experiment. 



Why an Irrigated Farm? 



Because irrigation in Southern 

 Alberta 



■ — insures crops every year 

 — increases crops every year 

 — makes you practically inde- 

 pendent of weather conditions 

 — produces great quantities of 

 coarse grains, pasture, alfalfa, 

 roots, thus developing the live 

 stock industry which is safer 

 and ultimately more profitable 

 than wheat farming 

 — tends toward close settlement, 

 well cultivated farms, good 

 neighbors, good roads, schools, 

 churches, telephones, mail de- 

 livery, co-operative marketing, 

 and a high standard of com- 

 munity life. 



Twenty Years to Pay 



You pay down 10' o and have 20 

 years in which to pay the re- 

 mainder. The first crop is often 

 worth more than the total cost 

 of the lands. 



$2,000 Loaned to Farmer 



Loans of §2,000 in improvements 

 are made to approved settlers on 

 irrigated farms with no security 

 except the land itself. You can 

 take 20 years to repay this loan 

 at 6% interest. 



Irrigation, Crop Insurance 



This land is not arid but produc- 

 tion can be greatly increased by 

 irrigation. There is an uufaUing 

 supply of water which is admin- 

 istered under the direction of 

 the Canadian Government. The 

 provinces have no control over it 

 and there is no conflict of law or 

 authority over its use. The water 

 is free, the only charge being a 



The Opportunity for You 



The Canadiaa Pacific Railway known that 

 its prosperity depends OQ the prosperity of 

 the BCttlers along its lines. Because it wants 

 good settlers it is wilting to eeU its lands 

 at these remarkable prices and terms.

few applications, for the calyx spraying 

 well given will alone save more fruil 

 than a half dozen careless applications. 

 (2) Don't blame the quality of the poi- 

 son. Federal and state insecticide laws 

 are too strict for any manufacturer to 

 risk selling low-grade arsenicals. (3) 

 Don't say your spray was too weak, 

 for the weakest spray here recom- 

 mended (which is probably less than 

 you used) is twice as strong as is neces- 

 sary to kill the codling worm. (4) 

 Don't complain that you were given 

 wrong spraying dates. Missing the 

 exact date by a week will not lose more 

 than a small fraction of your crop. 



If your fruit crop was wormy own 

 up. You didn't have a tower, or a pene- 

 trative angled nozzle, or a high capacity 

 and pressure pump, and you didn't see 

 to it that every blossom was squarely 

 soaked at calyx-spraying time. You

isked your crop with the hired man, 

 or you took a chance in experimenting 

 with some new nozzle or some new 

 scheme for spraying. The test for a 

 thorough calyx application, aside from 

 a relatively clean crop, is the absolute 

 elimination of calyx worminess. Not a 

 reduction of calyx worminess down to 

 5 per cent, but no fruit at all wormy at 

 the calyx. With a proper equipment 

 and a little care this condition can be 

 attained by any orchardist. 



It seems strange that, with a practical 

 method of control so completely under- 

 stood, fruit growers should be willing 

 to gamble their prospective crop to 

 avoid a little of the drudgery of the 

 calyx spraying. That the blossom end 

 of apples cannot anywhere near all be 

 filled from the ground has been demon- 

 strated time and again. And yet, know- 

 ing this, fruit men persist in neglect- 



ing the "tower." The fruit inspection 

 service of Yakima County stated that 

 last year in this district less than a 

 dozen pumps were equipped with 

 towers. Two million dollars is a pretty 

 price to pay for such neglect. It is not 

 so much that we need government and 

 experiment station entomolgists to dis- 

 cover more facts about the codling 

 moth as it is to put into practice what 

 we already know. 



Syrup from Apple Culls 



For those who have a great many 

 second-grade apples and culls on hand, 

 the making of apple syrup is profitable. 

 The acids are removed by boiling the 

 cider with precipitated chalk (calcium 

 carbonate, or whiting). This neutral- 

 izes the acids of the cider, converting 

 them info insoluble calcium salts, 

 which settle to the bottom and are re- 

 moved by decanation. 



Add three-fifths of an ounce of pre- 

 cipitated chalk (obtainable at any drug 

 store) for each gallon of cider used, 

 bring to a boil, and boil vigorously for 

 five minutes, removing the foam and 

 scum as fast as formed. Pour into con- 

 tainers as tall as are available. Two- 

 quart Mason jars will do, or even big 

 preserving kettles. Let stand quietly 

 for four or five hours. Then carefully 

 pour off the clear liquid, throwing away 

 all the sediment at the bottom. Boil 

 the clear liquid rapidly down to a 

 syrup, removing all scum. The syrup 

 should boil at 220 degrees Fahrenheit. 



The syrup is placed in bottles or 

 Mason jars and sterilized by placing 

 the containers in boiling water for 15 

 minutes. If the whole outfit is then 

 allowed to cool slowly, the little sedi- 

 ment in the syrup will settle to the bot- 

 tom and leave a clear, bright, very 

 pleasing mild syrup, with a delightful 

 apple flavor.
