Of correspondents in the wheat field for
twenty consecutive days. In this way
thousands of miles were travelled by train
through the wheat district, over 1,400
miles were driven through growing wheat,
and % pivotal points were visited and
observations made. As a result of the
work a straight announcement is made
that the wheat acreage is T. 0OoO0: that
the average yield is 10 bushels TO the
acre; and that the aggregate crop will
reach 9O.250,OO0.
Bank statements regarding crops are
Usually of a dependable character, and
the figures furnishe" by the Canadian
Bank of Commerce more than endorse
those given by the Free Press. The bank
estimate places the figures at: Wheat,
91.S13.9O0: oats. SO,S54,6SO; barley. IT,

exists in Western Canada there is an ele-

point: and where there is a good shipping
point, thriving bank Cor banks) will
be sure to be in the midst of it; and the
local manager of the bank, who has the
most accurate knowledge of the farming
conditions and crop results, Is the man
who usually does the business. Hence
the necessity for careful crop compilation.
Then, there are others who watch the
growing crop with careful eye-the
grain dealers and shippers, for instance.

been the difficulty of obtaining needed
nelp at harvest time. As each year an
additional area has been put under crop
this scarcity of help has been accumulated,
and during the present harvest the cry all
along the line has been 'Harvesters
Wanted The work of preparation and
seeding is spread over several months, but
the ingathering of the harvest has to be
done in few weeks; hence the necessity
for additional assistance at that partlcu-
lar time. The crop of 1909 required 49,
600 harveSters from outside, and this year
it has been estimated that from 22,OOU
10 $4,000 will be required to supplement
the work of the farmers in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The demand for harvest hands is not
permanent. the work for which they come
lasting only from early in August until
the end of the threshing season. Many
of those who come to work IN the gram
fields. however, remain and become grain
growers themselves. creating additional
demand for the same class of help, and
thus the problem becomes more acute
every succeeding year. The time was
when sufficient number of harvest hands
could easily be obtained from Ontario,
but in recent years the area taken in by
the harvest excursions has been extended
and in 1901 and 1905 it reached clear
down to Nova Scotia in the call for men
to work in the fertile fields Of the West.
This year the limit has been further ex-
tended. and a new movement of British
farm laborers has been inaugurated,
which will be of incalculable benefit to
the prairie country. giving a stimulus to
immigration. and disseminating among

crop this year would have yielded a larger
percentage Of increase on the returns OF
1905, put there are several causes that
have contributed to keep down the aver
age weld. The greater the number OF
new settlers the greater the chance OF in
experienced and less profitable farming.

age yield cannot be expected on this land.
But. be that as it may. crop of 9o.0Oo.-
coo bushels in the Canadian West Is not
to be looked at lightly. Allowing 2o,oo0,-
COO bushels for home consumption end
seeding purposes, 100000 bushels Will
represent the export trade, and this guam
rity at a little better than 20 cents per
bushel, will represent distribution OF
nearly SJ6,0o0,000 for wheat alone, be-
tween Winnipeg and the foothills; and
this large amount of money Is altogether
independent of the cost of freightlng this
vast quantity of grain from the western
elevators to tidewater.
The income of the Western Canadian
farmers this year will be further aug
mented by the returns which they VIII re
eeive from the. excellent crop Of oats and
the good crop of barley which Is their
portion. OF oats alone over 'o,n0,ooo
bushels are claimed. and barley brings TO
market over 100000 bushels. An adj

From the Western States, too, valuable
assistance has been received in the work
of harvesting the crop this year, and some
of the finest fields in Saskatchewan and
Alberta have been worked almost exclu
sively by Americans. So successful has
been the settler from the Western States,
