THE CROP or 1907 rs AIN EXCEL
LENT ONE.



The interest that Western Canada
has aroused for some years past So
growing in intensity The conditions
of the crop Of 1907 are such that re-
suits can be spoken Of with some de-
gree Of certainty. The yield Of grain
win be about s0,000,000 bushels and
the price the farmers win realize for
It viii be upwards Of seventy million
dollars. The cat crop was good in
most places, and the crop Of barley
viii be very rempserative. Those who
know OF the generally unsatisfactory
conditions during the seeding, grow
ing and ripening period IN the United
States during the past season, will
took with righteous distrust on any
statement intended to give the impress
sion chat Western Canada conditions
were so much different. Generally,
they were not, but the conditions Of
highly recuperatlye soil, long and
continuous sunshine, are conditions
possessed by Western Canada and not
possessed by any other country on the
Continent. This IS why It Is possible
10 record today a fairly successful
crop, when In most other places the
opposite Is the case. The yield in all
grains is less than last year, but the
higher prices obtained moro than on
set any falling off In the yield. Take
for instance the Province Of Sas-
katchawan the wheat crop will be
worth s21.1s5.O0O, Last year the
same crop was S5 per cent. larger and
the quality better. The yield was
worth s24, 200, 900. Oats and barley are
very important factors in all three
central Provinces. At Gladstone, Man
itoba, returns from one farm were s27
per acre from the wheat land, $S5 per
acre from oats. and $50 per acre from
barley. The yield Of wheat at Dauphin,
Manitoba, was 20 to "a bushels to the
acre but not Of very good grade,
but the yield Of barley in that section
was good and so was the quality and
price. AT Meadow Lea, Manitoba, 10
to 20 S.shels to the acre were
thrashed, bringing roLld dollar on
the market. AT Oak Lake, Manitoba,
on some fields where 2l bushels were
expected, twelve and fifteen was the
result others again where twenty was
looked for gave twenty-five to twenty
five. One special patch south Of town
on j. NJ. McFarlane's farm went as
high as thirty bushels to the acre. AT
Sheho, Saskatchewan, cats yielded
from so to So bushels to the acre Sam
WGnder threshed $500 bushels from
forty acres. The sample is good and
weighs Well. At Lloydminster, Sas-
katehewan. w. Bibby threshed 81
bushels Of oats to the acre, and two
others were but little behind. Wheat
here reached IS bushels. At Portage
Ia Prairie, Manitoba. from a quarter
section all In crop. Alex. McKinnon Of
Ingleslde threshed an average OF IS
bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant
had 100 acres, yielding 5000 bushels
Of the same grade. These illustrations
saken from widely distant districts
land thousands Of others could be
produced) show that the year 1907 has
not felt the serious effects from severe
winter, late spring. or unfavorable
conditions during the growing season
that might have been anticipated. In
