To the Editor of Tan Poem:
Dana SIR 1—I would esteem it a favor
if you will allow are space in your valu-
able medium to reply to F. 3. Oaten's
letter of Feb. 27tH.
I am one among •perhaps So Eastern
Canadiaus, in - this district. ' We had
lived in the East and knot v what the
farming possibilities were there, for the
man with small means, and had we con-
tinued to live there, the chances are,

Mr. Oaten may have beard the opinion
of some single dissatisfied .party but
that is no criterion for hiin to "rush into
print," and speak as if with authority
and compare Eastern and Western con-
ditions, 'r here ' is no comparision be-
tween 1130 Bast and West from a farming'
point of view.
Many of us Easterners cisme West with
little more than would pay our homestead
fees and 1 can truly say that there is not
a bomesteader bare to.dav that. came
West 3 or 4 years ago that is not worth
from $S,nOo to 510.000. •
We Easterners have very dear family
associations .iu the East, and we think

Personally, I never dream of emulating
Carnegie or Rockefeller bet of one thing
I am certain, that if God peospers me
for a few more years as ale hag=[lone in

satisfaction of knowing that

Mr Oaten's informa-
I may state for . s O
