Jansen says, is much like that of Min nesota. The winters are long but settled and of steady dry weather, with perhaps less snow than there is farther south, and the summers are warm. The summer days are very long, and warm and full of bright sun shine. We can grow everything in Sasgatchewan that we grow in Ne braska and Kansas, except corn" he said. "Squaw corn natures, but the season begins too late and ends too early for our western corn. But the wheat is a wonderful crop.
 We grow the Saskatchewan Fyffo wheat altogether, the top grade No. 1 hard, the standard wheat of the world. A fair yield is twenty bushels to the acre, though it often runs away over that; and the weight of a struck bushel runs to siXty-two pounds or a little more. And I have never seen such crops of oats. Eighty and a hundred bushels is not unusual, but in several cases l have seen it run to hundred and twenty bushels to the acre. IT. quality and nutrtive power no better oats are grown anywhere.
 Tn dairying my people in Canada have a ready cash income from the provincial government. The creamer- ies are under government management. A farmer delivers his cream at the nearest one and gets a check for a small part of it's butter value and then at the end of a month or so he gets another check for the remainder, less few cents d pound (4 l think) for manufacturing charge and an up- keep fund. A new settler can begin to get ready cash as soon as he has one COW or upward without the bother of making his butter and marketing it himself. The creamery pays the full market rate and butter always brings good price. So do eggs and dressed poultry.
 There's another valuable thing we get from the government free and that is trees, for wind-breaks and for shade There are government nurseries and experimental farms at Indian Head and Brandon, and the people in charge of those stations are always ready to advise with and help the farmers. They not only tell him what trees to plant, but they see that he gets the trees without charge. The same with fruit trees, except that these have to be paid for, though the charge is small.
 There has been a good deal of agi- tation all through Canada west about the emigrants sent out from the Eng fish cities by the emigration authori- ties and various benevolent associa- tions, but we have had no trouble with these people where they come straight from the city slums to the Canadian plains in bodies or colonies by them selves, they do not do well, because they know nothing of farming, but when they are mixed in with experi- enced farmers they soon take hold, and get along all right Quite a number Of such people have come among us Most of them when they first arrived didn't know how to take hold of pitchfOrk, but after seeing how our farmers do things, and with a little kindly advice and help, they began to pick up and it didn't take long to make farmers out of tSem. All of them that have seen are doing well. They are going to make good neighbOrs and good citizens
 The Canadian government has been sitting out its immigrants at the landing ports lately, and sending the undesirable back where they came from. l think by following this course and by seeing that those who are ad- mitted are settled in among experi- enced farmers, the government will soon settle the immigration problem that so much has been heard about
