knowledge of the life. conditions and OPP
portunities in the three prairie provinces
that should greatly quicken the stream
of settlement from the rural districts of
Britain to Canada.
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-
siyely by Americans. So successful has
been the settler from the Western States,
usually, that he is invariably the fore
runner of colony from that portion of
the State whence he came. and. through
the new provinces particularly, there is
very strong representation from North
and South Dakota, Oregon. Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa. Michigan. ILL

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 ! ,400
miles were driven through growing wheat,
and 93 pivotal points were visited and
observations made. As a result of the
work straight announcement is made
that the wheat acreage is 100000; that
the average yield is 10 bushels to the
acre; and that the aggregate crop will
reach 90,250,O00.
Bank statements regarding crops are
usually of a dependable character, and
the figures furnished by the Canadian
Bank of Commerce more than endorse
those given by the Free Press. The bank
estimate places the figures at: Wheat,

been the difficulty of obtaining needed
help 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 a few weeks; hence the necessity
for additional assistance at that particu-
lar time. The crop of 1905 required 49,
900 harvesters from outside, and this year
it has been estimated that from 22,0O0
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 until
the end of the threshing season. Many
of those who come to work in the grain
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 1904 and 1908 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 stimulus to
immigration, and disseminating among

The army contract for blankets for
lis year has been awarded to the AM
erican Wooden Company although that
corporation was not the lowest bid
der. The contract was for 10000
blankets involving about $500, 900 and
the lowest bid was $1,000 under the
bid of the American Wooden Company
But what is of consequence to the AM
erican taxpayer, is the fact that the
American WOODEN Company is knewn
as the Wooden Trust aud is protected
by the tariff in plundering the Govern
ment and the people who buy its pro-
duets, by virtue of the tariff lax or
blankets ranging from - per cant to
10 per cent. The evidence OF this ex-
IRENE protection of a Trust by the Re-
publican tariff law will be found in the
Official list of i'm ported Merchandise

the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart

Army blankets weigh between 5 is
and popnds and as the blanket eov-
cred by the contract above mentioned
cost ABOUT 81 each, it follows that each
pound of wool contaiued in one of these
blankets cost about 20 cents including
the cost of manufacturing and profit.
| AS the " oolen trust is protected from
foreign competition and can there

| the Wooden Trust of these blankets
| sold TO the government was probably
not more than 80 cents a ponnd. Turn
! ing again 10 the official list of imports
above given, it will be found noted
that imported blankets costing not less
than 40 cents and not mora than &c
cents pound, in the country where
produced are taxed by the tariff law
