During the early days in the pc
Rod OF the growth of the grain crop in
Western Canada, as well 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
nces that form that vast agricultural
domain, and are of considerable interest
to the friends they have left behind.

parts of the world the production OF
wheat is diminishing today; but as it
diminishes Canada's will increase;
therefore, it is safe to predict that in
few years from now large part of the
world will be looking to western Can
ada for its wheat supply, and espe-
cially will the United States. In many
parts of western Canada it is possible
to have hundred-mile square of
wheat, without a break. A writer says:
I'VE were driven west and north OF
Moose Jaw through 20 miles of dead
ripe wheat, acres of stocks and we'll
worked summer-fallows. One of these
fields would yield 40 bushels to the
acre. and another man had oats that
would yield 90 or 100 bushels to the
acre. In this district wheat will aver
