100 BUSHELS OF WHEAT
In Western canada-W. J. White, I'm
migration, Makes Extensive
Tour.

Winnipeg. Man.. Aug. ga tota
wheat crop in the three western pro
vinces of Canada of one hundred mil
lion bushels of wheat is predicted BY
Nv. J. White, inspector Of Canadian
immigration Offices in the United States
aftern an extended trip through the
wheat fields.
Mr. White has spent four weeks in
the west, DUNG which time he made q
tour of 700 miles by automobile
through many portions Of western Can
ada. He was through the Battleford
district, Lloydminister, Vegriville,
Duck Lake, the Tramping Lake dis.
trict. He travelled east from Leduc,
so miles; east from Wetaskiwin 50
miles, east from Lacombe 60 miles,
from Saskatoon to Outlook, Outlook to
Wilkie. Wilkie to Wainwright, Vain
wright to Stettler. and Settler to Red
Deer. From this part of the country
he went by train to Cardston, Leth.
bridge and the Milk river district.
Mr.. White reports great improve
ment in crops everywhere in the last
few weeks and states that the pessi-
mistic tone adopted by some persons
in regard to the crop as whole, is un-
justified. Even in Southern Alberta
the wheat crop sown on summer fal-
low is splendid.
Having regard to the unusually good
crops all over the northern part ex-
cept perhaps in one or two spots, and
having regard to the greatly increased
area under cultivation this year, Mr..
White, who is man of considerable
and with his recent trip in
view, does not hesitate in stating his
opinion that the wheat crop will not
fall short OF one hundred million BUSH
els. Mr. White looks for a largely in
creased immigration from the United
States this year, as inquiries are pour
ing into the departmental Offices from
nearly every state in the union, ask
ing particulars for best location for
settlement, rules concerning home
stealing and districts in which land
can purchase at low prices.
