Des Moines. Ia, Apr. S0.-With the
two-cent fare law in operation for the
greatest part of the period, the eight
representative railroads of Iowa show
net gain of S333,O57 in passenger
earnings for the year ending January

of $3S6,0O0 in the gross earnings for

80 BUSHELS OF OATS +
TO THE ACRE.
WHAT Mr.. kALTENBRUNNER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL
CANADA.

Writing from Regina Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr.. A. Kalten-
Drummer writes:-
Some years ago | took up home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjons the Moose Jaw Creek; is a
low, level and heavy land. Wo put
in 70 acres of wheat in stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 80
acres of summer fallow, which went
rs bushels to the acre. All the wheat
we harvested this year is No. Hard.
That means the best wheat that can
be raised on the earth. We did not
sell any wheat yet, as we intend to
keep one part for our own seed, and
sell the other part to people who want
first class seed, for there is no doubt
If you SOW good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
5000 bushels of first class oats out of
$50 acres. 80 acres has been fall
blowing, which yielded 80 bushels
per acre, and so acres stubble, which
went 30 bushels to the acre. These
cats are the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got 80 cents per
bushei clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself l feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions"
