The northern section Of Alberta has
been naturally anxious to impress the
world with the fact that It has not
suffered from drought, and this is quite
true. Wheat crops run from 20 to 80
bushels to an acre, but In q report
such as this 1t IS really only possible
to deal with the province as a whole
and while the estimate may seem very
low TO the people of Alberta, II u faff
to the province throughout.
When the very light rainfall and
other eccentricities OF the past season
are taken into account It seems moth
Ing short Of a miracle that the Cana
dian West should have produced 103
million bushels Of wheat, which In
less than Is million bushels short Of
the crop Of 1909. 1t In for the West
generally a paying crop and perhaps
the best advertisement the country
has ever had, as 1t shows that no mat
ter how dry the year, with thorough
tillaSe, good seed and proper methods
of conserving the moisture, q r can
always be produced.
AS some evidence Of the feeling OF
the farmers, are submitted letters
written by farmers but a few days
ago, and they offer the best proof that
a be given.
Maidstone, Sask., Aug. 4, 10.
came to Maidstone from Menomk
nee, Wis. four years ago, with my
parents and two brothers. We all To-
Gated homesteads at that time and
now have our patents. The soil is q
rich black loan as good as I have ever
seen. We have had good crops each
year and In 1909 they were exceeding
ly good Wheat yielding from n to 20
bushels per acre and oats from 40 to
80. We are we'll pleased with the
country and do not care to return to
our native state. I certainly believe
that Saskatchewan is just the place
for q hustler to get a start and make
himself a home. Wages here for farm
labor range from $50 to t45 per
month. Lee Dow.

In East Dauphtn are better than I
have ever seen, especially the oats
There Is more straw and It has heav-
Ter heads than ours in Wisconsin.
This Is just the kind of and We
are looking for. We are ell used to
mixed farming and the land we have
seen is finely adapted TO that sort OF
work. Cattle, hogs, horses and grain
will be my products, and for the live
stock. prospects could not be better.
/ have never seen such cattle as are
raised here on the wild prairie grasses
and the vetch that stands three or
four feet high IN the groves and on
the open prairie.
