GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito-
ba, dated March Is, 1910 says: That
Germany Is anxious to secure share
of Canadian wheat to supply her inn
ports OF that cereal" The recent adj
justment OF the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible to carry
on q Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than In the
past, and considerable development
Of trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men OF
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now.
and there Is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present ESQ.,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase It almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of its increasing popula-
ton, there ia certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat Is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
