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 a 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 a 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 66, and Prince Albert g.. The
former temperature is higher than at
ANY part of England, and the latter
sis very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily

Moisture is ample in the ~Saskatche-
wan valley, being about 18 inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about rs per
cent. of the moisture falls during the
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 in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.
