The present acreage in wheat in
Western Canada is only 100000 acres
and yet as high as 6S,00O,O00 bushels
of wheat have been raised. This year
the Canadian West strongly resisted
the rust and raised despite 100000 900
bushels Of wheat. While the rust has
seriously affected the supply of good
seed wheat in the spring wheat states
there is an abundance of good seed in
Western Canada and Representative
STEVENSON of the Ninth Minnesota dis
trict has asked congress to repeal the
duty on seed corn, so that the wheat
raisers of Minnesota and the Dakotas
can get a good start this year with
vigorous seed from Western Canada.

from the United States into Western
Canada will surprise the general pub

Americans are going yearly into Wes-

600 OF them, constituting about one
fourth the population of the entire
country. These emigrants come
chiefly from the Dakotas, Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, I'LL
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio.
They make splendid settlers, for they
are the sons and daughters of pion-
GERS who have the pioneers longing
for a new country in their hearts and
take delight in the crudities and hard.

ported. 1t is expected that Attorney
General Moody will soon hand down
an opinion governing this point.
When these two concessions shall
have been fully realized, the millers
of Minneapolis will draw an easy
breath, for they are fully convinced
that unless they are to get access to
the vast quantities of splendid hard
spring wheat that are grown in the
Canadian West the time is coming
when the milling primacy, so long held
by Minneapolis, will pass to some other
place, probably to some city in Canada
The great amount of publicity given
to the possibilities of Western Canada
as wheat producing country in con.

center of wheat production in
America is strikingly brought before
the millers and grain men of Mime
apolis as they read the reports of from
20 to 80 carloads Of Canadian wheat
being received in Minneapolis daily.
On account of the relatively small
wheat crop in the United States this
year, the attention of the great millers
has been for the first time firmly fixed
on the wheat lands of Western Canada
and their possibilities. This year the
millers have been very anxious to get
Canadian wheat to grind for the export
trade. In response to their importuni-
ties. Secretary Shaw of the United
States treasury. has issued rules gov
erning the grinding of Canadian wheat
under the drawback provision of the
tariff law. Under these regulations,
the millers are permitted to import
