WESTERN CANADA'S
MARVELLOUS CROP RETURNS

The Increase in the crop returns OF
the Canadian West, In the past seven
years has approached the marvellous
and there is no reason to believe that
a corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The In
crease has been particularly noticeable
in what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
September LIST. 1905, became the prov
inces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
From the official returns we hnd the
,ae3lDwing results in the acreage sown
to wheat. oats and barley. in the
years mentioned. and more faVor-
able showing cannot be pointed to
in any other country during a like
nariOd
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1906-02-09

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 1,5S7,337 The
total crop in the cereals mentioned
was 9,O3S,297 bushels in 1898, and In
1904 it had grown to the magnificent
total of 35,413,522. 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 par
ticularly the case where 1t has been
demonstrated that Alberta Red" win
ter wheat may be successfully grown,
and along the lines of the new rail-
ways towards the centre of the coun-
try, 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 oppor-
tunity to every settler within Its
bounds

Curious Question of Law.

A curious question of law has come
before the Maine courts. A bishop

sued for libel by a man excommuni-
Gated by them. The supreme court
has just held that there is a cause for
action. The dismissal from church is
undoubtedly prejudicial to a mans
character. but 1t is a nice question to
what extent the courts should inter-
fere with church discipline.
