It will be seen that the number Of
acres soWn to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429, 749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1881, 1877. The to-
tai crop in the cereals mentioned was
9,033,297 bushels in 1893, and in 1904
it had grown to the magnificent total Of
80, 1882. In the year just closed the
forward movement in the agriculture
Of the West has been the wonder and
envy of the world. New sections of the
country have been placed under tribute
to the plow and harrow, and the grain
area has been largely increased. This
is particularly the case where it has
been demonstrated that Alberta Red"
winter wheat may be successfully
grown, and along the lines Of the new
railways towards the center of the
country, where mixed farming prevails.
The future of the Canadian West is
assured, and for years to come 1t is
bound to be the land Of promise to the
agriculturist of every nation and Of
every cline, and the land of opportu-
nifty to every settler within it's bounds.
