The reports from the grain fields of

Various estimates of the total yield

The grand total-say 100 million BUSH

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 a fac

years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under

yield of from 325 to 600 million BUSH

largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and it

Friedrich Freiherr Won der Trenck
better known as Baron Trenck-had
the audacity to fall in love with Prin.
cess Amelia, sister of Frederick the
Great, king of Prussia. Amelia's love
cost him his liberty, almost his life
and indirectly made him for a time
the romantic hero of all Europe
Trenck helped to swell his own fame
by the fact that he was most bril-
liant liar and an unconscionable brag
CART, as we'll. In his autobiography
he attributes more heroic and impos
sihle adventures to himself than a
half-dozen dime novel heroes could
possibly have achieved. Thus it is
hard to get at the exact truth about
him. Here is his story, as it is gen,
orally accepted:
Trenck was of noble birth. In 1742
when only 16, he became an officer
in the Prussian army. He was brave
almost to foolhardiness, and had a
positive genius for warfare. He at.
tracted the notice of Frederick the
Great, and the lad was quickly pro-
NOTED from rank to rank. At Is he
was the kings aide-de-camp. Then it
was that he met and fell in love with
the Princess Amelia. His good looks,
his dashing courage and growing rep.
r.. e.,a;., md utation made an
49,. n-: instant impression
upon the young
girls heart. They avowed their love
for one another and began a long, Sc
cret correspondence. Each knew
that there could be no marriage be-
tween kings sister and a mere sol.
der. Yet, both being very young,
they had not the wisdom to part.
Thus affairs went on for brief
time. Then came a sudden awaken.
ing from their fools paradise
Trenck's quick rise in the army and
in Frederick's favor had gained for
him many enemies. These foes, seek.
ing the young hero's downfall, got
hold of some of the letters he and
Amelia had written 10 each other
and showed them to the king. Fred
erick, in rage at his aide-de-camp's
presumption in daring to lift his eyes
to a royal princess, cast Trenck into
prison. This term OF Imprisonment
was ended a few months later, for a
military campaign set in and Freder-
lex needed every brave officer he
could muster. But the confinement
had lasted long enough to teach
Trenck what the inside of Jail was
like and to lead him to study ways of
escaping from such a place. This
odd knowledge later stood him in
good stead.
Scarcely was the campaign at an
end when Frederick, still enraged at
Trenck's love for Amelia, had the
young man arrested on trumped-up
charge of treason and thrown into the
military prison at Glatz. Here was
a chance for Trenck to apply some of
his theories on escaping from Jail. He
did so. After one or two failures he
broke out of the fortress and fed to
Vienna. There the story of his affair
with Amelia had presumably become
known. Whether because the, prin-
cess name was tightly spoken of by
Austrian officers or because of some
weightier reason, Trenck issued chal-
lenges. right and left and fought a
series of spectacular duels. Thence.
