Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
87,000,000 to 115.000,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 90,000,000 bushels.
This year larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase OF from IS
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield OF last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100000
coo bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx OF settlers was responsible
to a considerable extent for much OF
the increased area, and. there can be
no doubt, Is also responsible for a
part Of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
a very large number Of amateur farm
ers behind the stills Of the pillow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead Of de-
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso-
citation Is the lowest: Wheat, 87,203,-
900 bushels oats, 75,725.6O0 bushels,
and barley. 16,9S0,600 bushels. The
Winnipeg Free Press sent out five

In the last week of August a tour
OF inspection was made along the line
OF railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association

perts. What they saw convinced
them that not only was the crop a
good average one, but the quality OF

the best quality, and more than one

This year, the lowest returns, as We
have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725,6OO,
and barley at 1890, 600 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, If not absolutely
satisfying. To better appreciate this
fact, all that is necessary to do Is to
go back % years In the history OF
Western Canada. At t.a. time the
agricultural product Of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels OF
wheat, on an acreage OF $1,000 and
1,270,268 bushels Of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes. and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 20,000,000 bushels OF
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 100000
bushels for export, which at 70 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent OF nearly $4,000, 900,
The barley and oats exported are
good for an additional $4,000, 900. and

In speaking of the natural resources

Street Railway Strike.
Macon Ca, Aug. 20.-The strikers
of the street car company and the
company are further apart than ever
and the excitement here is intense.
Sunday afternoon nearly 5000 peo-
pie packed the city auditorium TO at
tend a mass meeting, called by the
strikers for the denunciation of the
company and its methods. Among
the speakers was Congressman Bart
lett, from this district, who delivered
a strong speech in favor of the labor
Ing man.
A number of cars have been derail-
ed, the strikers and their sympathiz-
ers obstructing the tracks in some in
stances, and in others greasing them
with lard. Torpedoes have also been
placed on he track. No serious in
juries or damage of any sort have
been reported.
1t is stated that the sympathizers
and not the strikers are DOING the
damage The strikers are about sey-
enty-tive in number. The company
is firm in its determination not to en-
ploy member of any union.
Public subscriptions are being talk
en- up to tide the strikers over until
the company is forced to come to
their terms. Several hundreds of
dollars have thus been raised. Thou
sands Of people are walking in pref
erence TO patronizing the company.
The labor union men generally are
walking. Serious developments are
hourly expected. Arbitration is be-
ing talked of, but there seems very
little likelyhood of any agreement be-
ing reached for some time The cars
are running pretty regularly, but men
have to be sent in front to look for
distractions, tOrpedoes and the like
Tie strikers are keeping sober. and
are holding meetings on street cor
ners, at which some Of them tell of

The lives of conductors and motormen
now working with the company are
being made miserable by the cries of
