WESTERN CANADA HAS AN
EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very High
~ Favored.

An interesting feature Of Western
Canada Is its climate. Those who
have made study of it speak highly
OF it. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
1T the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates,
ETC., to those interested in the country.
AS has been said. the climate is excel
lent. The elevation Of this part of
Canada Is about 1900 feet above the.
sea. about twice that of the average for
Minnesota 1t is very desirable alti-
tude. The country has q 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 4 clear. bracing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part Of the year, and
a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is C6. and Prince Albert G.. The
former temperature is higher than at
"any part Of England. and the latter
lis 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 48. Owing to this high day tenn

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 tho
crop months. Thus, Western Canada
gets as much moisture when it 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 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.
