He wanted to HOMESTEADING AND LAND SETTLEMENT CANADA • our hundred of the British 'ere English and more than one Intro real Scottish, whilst the leading states in the forty-two represented were Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, llinois, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan.That homesteading continues to be a factor in Western land settlement is evident front the observation in the Departments report that in the last year newly surveyed lands in fifty-nine. townships were made available for homestead entry, thirty being in Mani- toba, ten in Saskatchewan, and nine- teen In Alberta. Land settlement iu Western Canada is more systematized and regulated to -day than it has ever been, a situa- tion forced on the country by steadily increasing settlement. In addition, new homestead districts are being' made available by' survey each year, - Another agency—a non-profit, purely service organization.— which brings land owners and prospective farmer purchasers into touch with each other, is the Canada Colonization Aaeocia- tion, with. headquarters at Winnipeg, which last year located settlers, to their apparent satisfaction, on farms comprising nearly '90,000 acres, and already this year give indicated of ex- ceeding the record of 1924. Whilst the conveniently located sup- ply of homestead land In Westeitn Canada is dwindling and increasing settlement is elevating land values, yet prices of farms lands are, in view of their productivity, lower than simi- lar lamas .located anywhere else on the American continent. The average Value of the occupied farm lands, in - eluding both improved and unimproved land, as well as houses, barns, stables and other farm buildings, was return- ed by the Federal by the Federal Gov- ernment for the year 1924 as $28 per acre for Manitoba, $24 per acre for Saskatchewan, and $255 for Alberta. That homesteading is atilt an impor- tent phase of Canadian land settle - ment i and that the day of the acquisi- tion of free Western land .is by no, means over, though lying farther and .I farther from existing railway lines, each Year, is made evident in the last report of the Federal. Department of the Interior, This shows that in the last fiscal year a total of 3,843 home- stead entries were made in Western Canada; 1,693 being in Saskatchewan, 1,326 in Alberta, 632 in Manitoba and 188 in British Columbia, .A. homestead consists of a quarter section of 160 acres of land, so that this method of land acquisition alone in the past year resulted in the settlement on 614,800 acnes,- To -this should be added soldier homestead grants which made an ad- ditional 113,600 acres, bringing the total settlement upon free Government land in Western Canada up to 728,480. acres. This is not a bad showing In view of the state of immigration In that year and the reputed: apathy to- wards land settlement. Approximately 100,000 acres were homesteaded in Western Canada in the first three months of the present year with 620 persons filing. A total of 2S6 filed in Saskatchewan, 227 in Alberta, 80 in Manitoba, and 27 In Bri- tish Columbia. In tradition, in the first quarter of the year one hundred soldier grants were taken up, repre- senting settlement on 7,000 acres. It is gratifying to find that the Eng- Iiehaspealcing races continue to pre- serve their-maiorlty in Western Cana- dian land sdttlement. Though nearly thirty nationalities are represented in these ' homestead filings last year, Canadians led with 1,277 entries, fol- lowed by citizens of the United States With 639 and then those from the Bri- tish Isles with 576.
