TORY REPORTS.

The census branch OF the Depart.
ment OF Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada,
has completed its returns OF the show
ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov.
inces OF Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield of about i07,000.0O0
bushels, worth 10 the farmer about
$S5. 900, 600: in addition to this the oat.
barley and fax crops were worth an.
other S35,000,000. Letters have been
received from many OF the settlers
from the United States. From these.
that OF Rev. Oscar l.. King has been
selected. He lives in the vicinity OF
Edmonton. Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest 10 those who con.
template moving TO Central Canada.
Every line Of the letter is interesting.
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-.
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
