This will give 20 intending harvest
taborers a splendid opportunity to loos
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 zoe, 600, 00G
bushels of wheat harvested within the
named this year snG it is expected
hat the yield wt4l rlln from Is to rs
bushels per acre. Many farmers, this
year, will net. as q result Of their
,abors, as much as So to $40 per acre
and many OF them Will deposit as
profits as much as $1,000 to $4,000.
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 III Manitoba, viii increase the
price of lands in these three provinces
from So to SIS per acre and the man
who was fortunate enough to secure
lands at from $12 to $50 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
threshing will begin and there will be
! 2lenty of work until November.
