WESTERN CANADA HAS AN

ETC., to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is excel

Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. 1t Is a very desirable alti-
tude. The country has very equable
climate. taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the sum-
mers are pleasantly warm. r. F. Stu
part, director Of the meteorological
service for Canada, says:
"The salient features Of the climate
'of the Canadian northwest territories
''are clear. bracing atmosphere dur
ling the greater part OF the year, and
"a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
'mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is &C. and Prince Albert 60. The
"former temperature is higher than at
"any part Of England. and the latter
as very similar to that found in many
'parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 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. 1t Is notable that about IS per
cent. Of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus. Western Canada
gets as much moisture when 1t Is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, It Is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield beautifully.
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.
