Excerpt from The Economic Results of the Specialist Production and Marketing of Wheat The great bulk of the agricultural capital employed in the Canadian Northwest is in fact supplied by railway companies, loan companies, banks, implement companies and general dealers. It is only in this way that farmers having little or no agricultural capital at the outset have been able to establish themselves. Moreover, the natural fertility of the unexhausted soil is so great that a very small amount of capital is required per acre. It has consequently been possible to bring a vast area under cultivation by means of a relatively small amount of agricultural capital.
