American Agriculturist, February; 24,1923 
I F your hard work and investments are not giving you the return they should 
—if highland prices and high rentals are blocking your road toSuccess—if you 
are beginning to see how hard it is to compete with low-priced lands that are 
equally fertile, you owe it to yourself and your family to get the facts about 
farm opportunities in Canada. Lower-priced land—lower overhead—lower 
taxes and operating costs—may be the solution of your problem. 
-Priced Land-the Secret 
Virgin prairie land at $15 to $30 an acre, with long terms, if you want them, close to rail¬ 
ways and market towns, schools, churches, telephones, highways—these vast virgin prairies 
©ffer you the last great farm opportunity. The fortunes of the United States were built on 
low-priced land. Those lands are now dear—perhaps beyond your reach—but Canada’s 
lands are still low-priced. You may have missed the first chance—don’t miss the last. 
Your Own Farm- 
Prosperity, Happiness 
The opportunity that fits your particular 
financial and family needs awaitsyou in Can¬ 
ada, and the Canadian Government Agent 
will help you find it. Land of great and con¬ 
tinuous fertility, (Western Canada’s wheat 
crop in 1922 was the biggest in history),land 
suitable for stock-raising, dairying, mixed 
fanning, fodder crops, market gardening, to 
suit your experience and your pocketbook. 
Land that will pay for itself in a few years’ 
crops; hundreds of Canadian farms have 
produced crops in one year Worth more 
than the price of the land. 
Hent If You Prefer— 
Pay Out of Profits 
The Canadian Government has devised a 
means by which youcan “tryout” a farmfor 
a year or two before investing, and at the 
same time increase your capital for the day 
when you are ready to buy a farm of your 
own. Many Canadian land owners are will¬ 
ing to rent a portion of their holdings; others 
are already retiring and will rent on easy 
terms, in some cases giving an option of pur¬ 
chase. If you have a farm outfit, or the 
means of buying it, even if your other capi¬ 
tal is small, this is your chance to try out the 
country for yourself. Seeing is believing. 
See for yourself. A year or two on a rented 
farm may be the road to success. If you have 
present holdings which you cannot sell to 
advantage, hold them another year or two, 
conditions may improve, but start in Can¬ 
ada _ at once. Lands are being taken up; 
nothing IS gained by delay. 
Favor the 
Pr4»duc£siig Farmer 
Western Canada’s tax system encourages 
farm production and the improvement of 
property. Taxes on an improved farm are 
less than on an unimproved one, and there 
are no taxes at all on the farmer’s buildings, 
machinery, live stock, automobile, crops, or 
personal effects. Tax laws are designed 
to aid the farmer in build 
ing up a home of his 
own.

New Jersey Poultrymen 
Hold Meeting 
A t the quarterly meeting of the At¬ 
lantic Coast Poultry Producei’s’, a 
cooperative organization with several 
hundred commercial poultrymen in 
New Jersey and adjacent territory, 
held at Trenton, N. J., last week, a 
total enrolment of nearly 60,000 laying 
hens was reported. The association is 
handling the product of its members 
on the New York (jity and other near¬ 
by markets, conducting the sales on the 
basis of weekly pools, according to the 
general locality from which the eggs 
are shipped. It has been successful in 
increasing the prestige of New Jersey 
eggs on eastern markets, thus operat¬ 
ing to the benefit of the industry as a 
whole as well as to its own member¬ 
ship. Manager Herman B. Walker 
said that his plans were well under 
way to take care of storage eggs for 
members. During the last two months 
nearly 50 new members have been 
elected to the association, 18 at the 
meeting last week. 
In an effort to secure more funds 
for scientific research on poultry dis¬ 
eases, the directors of the association 
waited upon Governor Silzer of New 
Jersey and secured his promise of ser¬ 
ious consideration of an appropriation 
asking for $10,000 to be given to the 
State College for this purpose. The 
association also asked for representa¬ 
tives of the poultry industry upon the 
New Jersey College Board of Visitors, 
suggesting appointment by the Gover¬ 
nor of John Cray of Stockton, N. J., 
and Harry H. Ober of Lakewood, N. J., 
these to be the appointments from their 
respective counties. 
Holstein Men Talk Cow Testing 
Speaking before the fifth annual 
meeting of the Salem-Cumberland- 
Gloucester Counties Kolstein-Freisian 
Association recently, Dr. J. H. McNeil, 
New Jersey State Veterinarian, said 
that 456 dairy herds had been tested in 
the State in the last six months. These 
herds comprised nearly 17,000 cows. 
The testing work in the State shows 
that purebreds are on the increase, 
and that as a rule there were two pure¬ 
breds tested to every grade animal. 
Dr. McNeil also called attention to the 
desirability of officially testing all 
purebreds offered for sale, since the 
records enhance the value and also 
show the owner which animals he may 
best dispose of. 
Officers of the association for the 
coming year are: President, Samuel 
Ridgeway of Salem, N. J.; Vice-presi¬ 
dent, Eber M. R. Davis of Marlboro, 
N. J.; Treasurer, John Ridgeway of 
Hancock’s Bridge, J. J. Samuel Ridge¬ 
way is a prominent breeder of South 
Jersey and active in Holstein affaii’S. 
Mr. Davis is the owner of Eberdale 
Farms, and a large winner at some of 
the State and local fairs. 
Notes from the Counties 
The season of public sales has opened 
with reports of large crowds and .fair 
prices coming in from many counties. 
More interest is indicated in horses 
and mules than in some years. At one 
sale in Salem County, N. J., the ani¬ 
mals sold from $42.50 to $275, the 
prices being reported low as a general 
• rule for many of the horses. At some 
of the sales good timothy went at $23 
a ton and potatoes at 4Q cents per 
basket. Most of the sales so far have 
been largely on a ca.sh basis, and bid¬ 
ders have ^en buying only for imme¬ 
diate wants. The old custom of buy¬ 
ing everything offered and paying with 
a small cash deposit an promissory 
notes has nqt been such a popular 
method this season. 
The Somerset County Agricultural 
Contest Committee is already laying- 
plans for its third annual boys’ and 
girls’ contest to be held next October. 
Last year 535 boys and girls in the 
county entered the exhibition, and with 
the broader plans now under considera¬ 
tion by the committee, it is hoped to 
make the annual affair an even larger 
one this year. The officers of the com¬ 
mittee are: Chairman, Dr. W. H. 
Whiton; Vice-chairman, H. C. Krebs; 
Treasurer, A. C. Morrison; Secretary, 
E. T. Suydam. The work is conducted 
under a federated committee represent¬ 
ing the Somerset County Board of 
Agriculture, the County Granges, the 
County Holstein Association, the Cloun' 
ty Y. M. C. A., i.ublic schools and the 
Parent-Teachers’ Association.
