bulletin of the association sizes up the
situation as follows: Wheat, S7,2O3,OOO
bushels; oats, 75,725,600 bushels; barley,
1871 ,335.
This is a lower estimate than either OF
the others, but we must consider that 1t
is a railway-tour estimate, whilst the
others were made by men in the wheat
field, so to speak; and the circumstances
somewhat favor the correspondent and
the local bank manager. respectively, IN
his estimate. But there is one point upon
which all agree, and that is that the wheat
crop of 1906 is of excellent quality
throughout. that it is characteristic OF
Western Canada's grain and will grade
high all along the line. On this point
American grain men such as J. f. Whal-
Ion of Minneapolis, Finlay Barral OF Chi

ures at present available would lead US

about 100000 bushels. These figures

reyed that the increased acreage under

crop this year would have yielded larger
percentage of increase on the returns OF
1905, out there are several causes that
have contributed to keep down the aver
age yield The greater the number %
new settlers the greater the chance OF In
experienced and less profitable farming.
1t is the newer settler, as rale, who.
his anxiety to break new land, has sown
on this years stubble, and good aver
age yield cannot be expected on this land.
But, be that as it may, a crop OF SO,OOO,-
900 bushels in the Canadian West is not
to be looked at lightly. Allowing 10000
600 bushels for home consumption and
seeding purposes, 100000 bushels will
represent the export trade, and this guam
tity at a little better than 70 cents per
bushel will represent a distribution OF
nearly $560O0,000 for wheat alone, De-
tween Winnipeg and the foothills; ana
this large amount of money is altogether
independent of the cost of freighting 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 Will re-
ceive from the excellent crop of oats ana
the good crop of barley which Is their
portion. OF oats alone over 15,OOo,oOo
bushels are claimed, and barley brings to
market over 100000 bushels. An ad-
ditional $25,000O0O from these crops
added to the $50,OO0,00O from wheat and
the proceeds from dairying and mixed
farming, will contribute very materially
to making agriculture in Western Canada
a very dependable business.

Winnipeg CORRESPONDENCE

winnipeg correspondence:
For the past four or five weeks the re-
suit of the harvest in the Canadian West
has been an absorbing topic, not only with
the Canadian people, but with large and
interested number of Americans-millers,
grain dealers and farmers particularly.
To such an extent has this interest in the
Canadian grain crop been manifested that,
when the Northwest Grain Dealers Asso-
citation left for their trip of inspection,
they were accompanied by a number of
American grain dealers who felt it neces-
saIy to have a personal knowledge Of the
subject.
Two or three weeks ago public state
ment was made by Mr.. Robin, Premier OF
Manitoba, in effect that the wheat crop
would reach 115,OO0000, and that there
would be fully 100,00O,000 for export,
ana at that time there were many who
believed that Mr.. Robins estimate was
we'll within the mark; but since then con-
ditions have changed, and other estimates
have been made. Every possible effort to
get accurate knowledge of the crop has
been put forth in many quarters.

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,
usually, that he is invariably the fore
runner of a colony from that portion of
the State whence he came, and, through
the new provinces particularly, there il
a very strong representation from North
and South Dakota, Oregon, Minnesota,

gressive settlers, as they come well pro-
vided with money, completely equipped
with stock and machinery, and possessed
of knowledge of western farming which
cannot possibly be possessed at first hand

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 1,4OO
miles were driven through growing wheat,
and SO pivotal points were visited and
observations made. AS result or the

that the wheat acreage is 4, 100000; that
the average yield is 10 bushels to the

additional area has been put under crop
this scarcity of help has been accumulated,
and during the present harvest the cry ali
along the line has been HarVestefs
Wanted" The work Of preparation ana
seeding is spread over several months Dus
the ingathering of the harvest has 10 De
done in a few weeks; hence the necessity
for additional assistance at that parllcu-
lar time. The crop of 1905 required 49,
600 haryesters from outside, and this year
il has been estimated that from ZZ,OoO
to $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 untli
the end of the threshing season. Many
of those who come to work in the grain
fields. however, remain and become gram
growers themselves, creating additional
demand for the same class of help, and
thus the problem becomes more acute
every succeeding year. Ihe 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 1904 and 1905 it reached clear
down to Nova Scotia in the call for men
