therefore, it is safe to predict that in

WESTERN CANADA

During the early days in the pc
Rod of the growth of the grain crop in
Western Canada, as we'll as throughout
the ripening and garnering period,
there is yearly growing an increasing
interest throughout the United States,
as to the results when harvest is COM
pleted. These mean much to the thou
sands of Americans who have made
their homes in some of the three Prov
inces that form that vast agricultural
domain, and are of considerable interest
to the friends they have left behind.
The year 1909 is no disappointment
The crops of wheat, oats and barley
have been harvested and it is now
safe to speak of results. Careful es-

district the people are assured of a
most prosperous year."
1t would be unfair to close this ar
ticle without quoting from an expert
crop-correspondent regarding the two
Battlefords in Central Saskatchewan,
on the line of the Canadian Northern
Railway. Writing on August 18th Of
this year, he says:
ut is necessary to drive about six or
seven miles out of the town of North
Battleford in order to see the best
crops of the district. This morning I
was driven about 20 miles to the
north and west of the town and in all
the drive did not see a poor crop. I
saw one wheat crop which the owner
estimates will yield 40 bushels per
acre, and | believe it."

rious districts found the farmers and
other citizens without exception
filled with expectant enthusiasm over
this years prospects. No district was
found which could not boast of fields
of 35 bushels per acre wheat, or so to
60 bushels per acre oats, and of 40
bushels per acre of barley
1t is not an unusual thing in many
parts of western Canada for farmer
to have 10000 to 10000 bushels of
wheat. In the Rouleau district it is
said that there are several farmers
who will have 10000 bushels of oats
any many fields will return one hum
dred bushels to the acre.
1t takes an army of men to handle
theWestern Canada crop, and it is es-
timated that 10000 people have been
brought in this year to assist in the
great undertaking; there being excur-
sions from the outside world nearly
every day for the past six weeks.
