The reports from the grain fields al

With Russia and India, is now . fac.

day, what Will be its effect Ave or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield Of l25 or 100
million bushels. there will be from Ii
to SO million acres in wheat with q
yield of from 325 to 500 million bush
els When 1t is considered that the
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 and and it
has the soil. Even today the Prov
tnce of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of its development AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
~thirty-ive bushels to the acre. Scores
OF yields are reported of forty and
some As high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early. Is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
