CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
The ATTRACTION FOR THREH
TRANScONTINENTAL RAIL.
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana.
dian west the vice-president Of the
ALsest individual hardware company
In the United States. As his firm have
a turnover Of millions, and deals ex.
tensively with farm implements, TINS
man took deep interest in crop con.
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks Of the importance
OF the spring wheat crop Of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
OF the Importance OF the oat crop and
also Of the winter wheat crop, as we'll
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion Of the three prov
fnces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields tha. are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:--
I'm land Of such great sweep, and
OF such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same overwhelm>
ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches Of the northwest provinces
It Is the one absorbing topic OF inter
est and Of conversation during Its
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe Of large part of the Domin-
Ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower Of their young men to its op-
pOrtunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail IN the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
lusion that population tends to outruD
the means Of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger of over.
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces Is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200.000,0O0 bushels, 80
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer az
to the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months Of July and Az
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production Of a 200 million
yield Of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this. the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying ono.

opinion, interpreting the big game law

Irriqationists Meet.

Pierre.-To make haste slowly was
the general tenor of the talks on irri-
CATION here by practical irrigators

work. The interest in the meeting
was stimulated by a visit to the large
irrigation plant near Fort Pierre on
Bad river, and watching the applica-
ton of the water. The general advice
was for none to try over few acres
the first year until they had learned
the practical lessons of the work The
meeting has done great deal Of good
toward stimulating irrigation in this
part of the state.
