rain Is needed. the hot sun bringing out
the crop quickly. One Boissevain far
mer got 2,276 bushels of wheat from

The reader can have but little concep-
ton of the beauty of the country
through which We are passing with its
fields of golden grain portions Of it
standing and ready for the sickle;
others being cut and made ready for
the binders: others again being placed
in shocks for curing, preparatory to
being stacked and housed; and others
again leading in huge loads to the stock
yards; the whole presenting scene
of rural animation which is rarely
seen, and must be seen to be appre-
ciated. The longer we roam among
these seas of ripened grain, the more
we are impressed with the fact that
this region, already a great wheat
mart, is destined to become the chief
granary of the world. But we are
told 'the half has not been told"
and further discoveries may appear
next week.
