SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects for Large Acreage to
Be Sown In Wheat.

st. Paul, April "a. 19o7.-Word has
been received at the office of the
Canadian Government In st. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground In splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather of the past
few days has taken much of the frost
out OF the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be a district
in which the seeder is not being oper-
ated. The most optimistic conditions
exist and In all districts the farmers
are busy getting things In shape.
There will be very large acreage
sown In spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy I'M.
loading their stock and effects, work.
ing night and day In order to get on
their farms and become active agen.
cies In the effort 10 make the year
1907 the banner year in grain produc-
ing In Western Canada. As compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, It will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
lions for the present year. 1t is safe
to say that farmers who get in their
crop before the goth or oath OF May,
win receive magnificent returns. A
number OF those coming In this spring,
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
In a crop of oats and barley and prob.
ably some fax. This, together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding oper-
atoms are not confined to one district,
but are spread over a country SEQ
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents OF the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers. Low rail.
way rates, information and literature
are given on application TO the agent,
whose name appears in advertisement
elsewhere in this paper.
