ARE GIVING WEsTERN CANADA
orsstsr impulse Than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields Of
Central Canada, (which comprises the
Provinces OF Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vious years In proving that this por-
ton OF the Continent is capable OF
producing splendid yield of all the
smaller grains. but 1t has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
Is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain Of contentment and satisfac-

ditions causing It no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates Of the total yield
Of wheat for the country have been
made. but 1t is not the vast total that
Influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 1870 million bush
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; It may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop Of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards. and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now fac

day. what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead Of
there being seven million acres under

million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 325 to 600 million bush
els. When 1t is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and 1t
has the soiL Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can

katchewan is yet only in the begin

Grey recently pointed out In speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that Is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported Of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, Is
certain of splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop

will be pleasing to the friends Of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-

vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
