Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her golden
grain. This year the crop of Manitoba, ly
ing north OF North Dakota, yielded l,000,r
600 bushels of wheat alone. The current
price averages 70 cents. which, as local
paper puts II, makes the product in gold
OF $4,000, 600" Twenty thousand farmers
did this, or an average to each producer OF
about $79S
But these same farmers are not living by
wheat alone. This is only one source of rev.
enue 20 them out of many. They have also
beef, butter potatoes oats, barley and poul
try to sell, and sometimes other things, 30
that it may be fairly estimated that their in
comes will average at least 81 900 per farmer
Thus Manitoba fields have yielded this year
fully $20,OO0,00 in gold, divided among TO-
600 actual producers, and general popula-
tion OF about 200 ,000."

penses of men, etc, rich MS is the Klondike,
