Need $4,000 Men to Harvest Wheat.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. lit is
Iconservatively estimated that an army
OF $4,000 men will be needed to har.
vest the wheat crop OF western Can.
ada, and now that the harvest will
soon begin in earnest, the farmers are
wondering where all the men are com
ing from. In Saskatchewan alone it is
believed that $4,000 harvest hands will
be necessary, while Manitoba will
need almost as many, and Alberta
5000 or 4000 Last year about 5000
men came for the harvest, which, COM
pared with that of this year, was a
small one. The great development of
Saskatchewan by farmers from the
United States has resulted in a vastly
increased acreage of wheat in that
province-over FIVE and half million
acres. Manitoba has a somewhat
larger acreage, and In Alberta there
are about 100000 acres under wheat.
