vested and it is now safe to speak of
results. Throughout the entire grain
growing area of 100000 square miles
there a been a uniform production
and a high average. Careful estimates
place the yield OF spring wheat at 80
bushel per acre, winter wheat at over
40 bushels and oats exceed SO bushels
per acre. Barley also has proved al
abundant yield. What will attract the
reading public more than volumes of
figures will pc the act that those who

ence of the Government to accept of
16O acres of free grant land, or, by the
persuasion of friends to leave their

health, in social conditions, they have
lost nothing.

writer says: w We're driven west and

of dead ripe wheat, acres of stocks ana
well-worked summer-fallows. One OF
these fields would yield 40 bushels to

that would yield 90 or 100 bushels to
