$4,000 NEEDED TO
HARVEST WESTERN
CANADA'S CROP
Will Take 10000 Alto
qether to Take Care
of Yield of Prairie
Provinces.

One hundred and sixty-two thousand
farm hands will be required this year
to harvest the grain crops Of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Or
this number the local help will pro-
vide about 10000, which will leave
about $4,000 extra farm hands. There
is, therefore, a great demand for this
class Of laborers in all parts OF West
ern Canada. In order TO meet the re-
quirements it has been arranged to
grant very low railway rates from all
boundary points reached by Canadian
railways. In order to secure these
rates it will be necessary for you to
call on one of the following authorized
agents of the Canadian government:

This will give to intending harvest
laborers a splendid opportunity to look
over the magnificent wheat fields of
Western Canada and will give them
the best evidence that can be secured
of the splendid character of that coun-
try from the farmers standpoint.
There will be at least 100000 600
bushels of wheat harvested within the
area of the three provinces above
named this year and it is expected
that the yield will run from Is to %
bushels per acre. Many farmers, this
year will net, as result of their
labors, as much as So to $40 per acre
and many of them will deposit as
profits as much as $4,000 to 100000
The wide publicity that has been
given to the excellent crop that is be-
ing raised in central Alberta and
southern Alberta central Saskatche-
wan and southern Saskatchewan, and
also in Manitoba, will increase the
price of lands in these three provinces
from So to IS per acre and the man
who was fortunate enough to secure
lands at from $12 to $40 per acre will
have reason for qualification that he
exercised sufficient forethought to in
vest, while the man who was fortu-
nate enough to secure a homestead of
100 acres free will also have a greater
reason to feel pleased.
Notwithstanding the great addition
to the acreage this year over last and
the large crop that will be ready for
harvest there is no reason to become
alarmed that the harvest will not be
reaped successfully. There will be a
great demand for these low rates dur
ing the next couple of months; be
sure to make your application to any
Of the agents above mentioned that
may be in your territory at as early
a date as possible Harvesting will
commence about the 25th of July and
continue for five or six weeks, when
will begin and there will be
plenty of work until November
