been re-sown 20 FEED. There are in
dividual crops which will run as high
as As bushels on acres of 500 and 1000
acres, but there are others which will
drop as low as 10. A safe average for
winter wheat will be 10 bushels. The
sample is exceptionally fine, excepting .
in few cases where It has been wrin-
killed. by extreme heat.
The northern section Of Alberta has I
been naturally anxious to impress the /
world with the fact that Il has not /
suffered from drought, and this is quite |
true. Wheat crops run from 20 to 30 /
bushels 10 an acre, but in a report |
such as this It 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, It is fair
to tho province throughout.
When tho very light rainfall and
other eccentricities of the past season
are taken into account, II seems moth
ing short Of a miracle that the Cana
dian West should have produced 1O2
million bushels Of wheat, which is
less than is million bushels short OF
the crop of 1909. II Is for the West
generally paying crop and perhaps
the best advertisement the country
has ever had, as II shows that no mat
ter how dry the year. with thorough
tillage, good seed and proper methods
OF conserving the moisture. a crop 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
can be given.

parents and two brothers. We all lo-
Gated homesteads at that time and
now have our patents. The soil is a
rich black loan as good as l have ever
seen. We have had good crops each
year and in 1909 they were exceeding
ly good. Wheat yielding from 90 to 40
bushels per acre and oats from 40 to
so. We are well pleased with the
country and do not care to return to
our native state. | certainly believe

years, coming out from Norway. Never

in East Dauphin are better than l
have ever seen. especially the oats
There is more straw and It has heav-

This is Just the kind OF land we
are looking for. We are all used to
mixed farming and the land we have
seen is finely aGapted to that sort of
work. Cattle hogs, horses and grain

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.
