WESTERN CANADA HAS - :
h' AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE.

The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly
~ Favored.
An interesting feature OF Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made a study of 1t speak highly
of It. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable In
formation concerning railway rates.
etc. to those interested in the country,
As has been said. the climate is ex-
ceIlent. The elevation Of this part OF
Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about twice that Of the average
for Minnesota. It Is very desirable
altitude. The country has very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. R
F. Stupart, director Of the meteorologi-
cal service for Canada. says:
THE salient features of the climate
of the Canadian northwest territories
are a clear, brGcing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part of the year, and a
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is 66, and Prince Albert So. The
former temperature is higher than at
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
maximum in July is rs and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about Is inches an
nually. It is notable that about 70
per cent Of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can
ada gets as much moisture when 1t Is
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, 1t is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing Is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.
