Looks to the Canadian West for Her
supply.
A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, dated March Is, 1910, says that
Germany is anxious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal" The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
ON 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 in
terest in every feature that will tend
to increase and conserve the wheat
supply. With its present $4,000, 600
bushel production Of wheat and all
efforts to increase it almost unayail-
ing. and the rapidly growing consump-
tion of its Increasing population, there
| is certainly the greatest reason for
the anxiety as to where the wheat is

as Germany is to look to the wheat
| fields of Canada One province alone
raised last year one-eighth as much
as the entire production of the United
States, and but a twelfth of the wheat
area has yet been touched. The Amer
! leans who have gone to Canada, are to-
| day reaping the benefit of the demand
| for Canadian wheat and they will con-
| tinue to join in the benefits thus
| reached for great many years. Splen-
did yields are reported from the farms
| of that country, and from land that
the Government gives away in 100
acre blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from s12 to
