toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. OF

uuirements II has been arranged to

This win 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, 900
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 rs
bushels per acre. Many farmers, this
year. will net, as a result Of their
Iabors, as much as IS to $40 per acre
and many of them will deposit as
profits as much as $4,000 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 in Manitoba. will increase the
price of lands in these three provinces
from So to IS per acre and the mar
who was fortunate enough to secure
lands at from $12 to $40 per acre vii
have reason for qualification that h
exercised sufficient forethought to in
vest, while the man who was fortu
nate enough to secure a homestead o
100 acres free viii also have creates
reason to feel pleased.
Notwithstanding the great addition
to the acreage this year over last ant
the large crop that will be ready TO
harvest there is nc reason to becom
alarmed that the harvest will not b.
reaped successfully. There will be
great demand for these low rates dul
ing the next couple of months; b
. sure to make your application to an
of the agents above mentioned tina
may be in your territory at as earl
a date as possible. Harvesting wi
: commence about the 25th Of July an
continue for five or six weeks, whe
threshing win begin and there will b
plenty of work until November.
