A few words as TO the climate OF this

right here The climate OF western
Canada, as described by those who
have lived there for some years, Is very

opidemlcs unheard Of. Winter extends

The soft maple has been known TO

under different conditions. In some
years the average has been over thirty
bushels. Once or twice II went as low
as eighteen bushels. Al even the low.

time, states that the entire labor Il
the region was found 10 be totally In.
adequate for the task before II. The
wheat straw was so tall and stout aud
80 heavily laden with grain that the
work OF reaplng and sacklng was e1-
tromoly eXhaustlng. The strength of
the growing grain frequently broke the
reaplng machines. and the utmost ex-
ertion OF strong men was required 20

But while wheat Is king In that ~
glon II is by no means the only cereal
grown. The oat. barley and pea crops
are phenomenal. Oats yield all the
way from 60 to 90 bushels per acre
In some cases they have been known 10
exceed over one hundred. A delegate
who visited the country reports, "One
hundred bushels OF oats, and sixty
bushels OF barley per acre were com
mon crops. In one case the oats stool
