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

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mantle
ba. dated March IS, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure q share
OF Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports OF that cereal" The recent ad'
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible to carry
on a 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 CO.,
100000 bushel production OF wheat
and all efforts TO increase It almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of its increasing popula'
lion, there is certainly the greatese
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 Wheatfelds OF Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc.
ton OF the United States, and but
twelfth OF the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone TO Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit OF the demand for Canadi
an wheat and they will continue to
Join In the benefits thus reached for
a great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
eminent gives away In 100 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from s12 to
