Red Fife the Best Wheat 81
= Recognizing that in the soil and the
wonderful climate, with it's long sunny
days during the growing season, Assini-
boia and Saskatchewan had the essentials
for becoming the very best part Of the
American wheat belt, Angus MacKay, SUI
perintendent of the Indian Head expert
ment farm, set about to determine the
variety of wheat best adapted to the larg-
est results. This has been found to be
Red Fife. In 1900, which was a very bad
year, the rainfall being light and uneven
ly distributed through the growing season.
the Red Fife on the farm came to the
front with a showing Of thirty bushels and
twenty pounds to the acre. The average
yield for the five years from 1895 to 1899
was thirty seven bushels and twenty two
pounds to the acre. For eight years tho
average was thirty-four bushels and forty
seven pounds.
Never Less Than 80 Bushels.
There are many farmers in the Sas-
katchewan valley who have never had
less than thirty bushels.
Think Of that, you> farmers who have
been raising ten bushels Of wheat to the
acre year after year. Think Of that, you
people who imagine that western Canada
Is very close to the north pole and in

summer.

CLIMATE IS EQUABLE
Saskatchewan Valley Most Healthy

Crops Mature Quickly-Rainfan at
the Right Time Stock
Does Well.

The SasKa tchewan Valley has a very
equable climate. The general elevation
of the. region is about $500 feet above sea
level, or perhaps twice the average alti-
tude Of Minnesota.
OF the climate of this section, r. F.
stupart. director Of the Canadian meteor
illogical survey, says:
"The salient features of the climate Of
the Canadian northwest territories are a
clear, bracing atmosphere during the
greater part of the year, cold winters and
warm summers and a small rainfall and
snowfall. The mean temperature for
July at Winnipeg is &C and Prince Albert
81. The former temperature is higher
than that in any part of England and the
latter Is very similar to that found in
many parts of the southern countries. !"
At Prince Albert the average daily maxi
mum in July is 76 and the minimum 49,
Owing to this high day temperature
with much sunshine, the crops come to
maturity quickly. Although the rainfall
is not large, 1t is sufficient,
Rain at the Right Time.
About rs per cent Of the precipitation Is
during the months when crops are grow
ing. Thus western Canada gets as much
rain when it Is needed as much more
humid countries do.
With rain coming when It is needed and
the several hours more Of sunshine, this
northern country gets than lands farther
south, It Is easy to understand why crops
mature so quickly.
The mean temperature In July in the
region where the Saskatchewan Valley
Land company's lands are situated will
average about 81, and the annual rain
fall close to 18 inches.

temperature Of about degrees below that

winters show temperatures considerably

A PLACE FOR HEALTH
Cool Nights Make Summer Work a
Luxury,

One of the delights of western Canada is
found in the COOL invigorating nights
which prevail during the summer months.
The excessive heats Of the summers OF
the south is driving many of its people
into the northwest. The Anglo-Saxon
who is making the North American con-
tinent the worlds field Of industry is no
friend of torrid atmosphere. He can
stand the heat of the days, but nights
must give to his body the rest it de-
mands. The long days and cool nights OF
western Canada explain why the farmer
in that country can do more work In one
summer than the farmer Of the far south
can in two. Instead Of the fortunes OF q
sleepless couch on a hot summers night,
he sleeps the sleep Of the just in an at
mosphere meant by nature for her strong
est sons. The cool nights with their rest
equip him well for the battles OF the long
day and when autumn comes the farmer
of western Canada, by his works, has
proven that twice as much can be accom-
plished in one season as in the LANDS
where the heat of the summers day con-
tinues through the summers night.

: EXTRAORDINARY YIELDS
The Figures for It-W ork at Indian
Head Experiment Station.


The Canadian government maintains a
number of experimental stations similar
to those controlled by the several states of
the union under the patronage and sup
port of the United States government.
One of-these stations is at Indian Head,
on the Canadian Pacific railroad in AS
siniboia.
Indian Head is one of the leading wheat
marketing points in western Canada. It
is surrounded by very choice quality of
land which is producing enormous crops
Of wheat. At the town are elevators hay-
ing capacity Of 179, 900 bushels.
Directly north of Indian Head the Sas-
katchewan Valley Land company owns
some very fine lands.
But as to the results of wheat farming
in and about Indian Head as recorded by
the government station. The director of
the station has been very successful in
experimenting to show the special needs
Of the region and has taught the farmers
the best methods for the soil and climate
He has showed them how to cultivate the
rich lands of Assiniboia and Saskatchewan
which have an annual rainfall of, not to
exceed eighteen inches, without crop fail

This beautiful, undulating prairie coun-
try, parts of it park-like with lakes and
trees, ready to produce a crop after the
soil is broken, has such bountifu1 fertility
that it will produce freely OF many crops.
The country abounds in water and natural
hay and rich ranges.
Water may be obtained almost anywhere
by shallow wells The great rivers and
lakes, and the scores of small rivers and
creeks that are found in the Saskatche-
wan Valley Land company's grant insure
an abundant supply of water.
In Assiniboia and Saskatchewan can be
found some Of the finest herds of well
bred beef and dairy cattle In the world,
and the above facts show how well suited
the country is to stock Horse raising is
also a profitable industry.

Moreover, Minneapolis millers are be-
