was in fine shape when the car was

bought the meat received five carloads
OF meat from Servia at the same time,

LESS THAN SIS
CENTS BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT TN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN.
SEVERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there al not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield of
wheat were reduced to Is and 80 BUSH
els. while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months Of September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total of 1879 million dollars.
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97A cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little owe
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price Of 89h cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of IS million bushels, which realized
q total of a. little over t%hirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November. there
was in the hands of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop. which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in t%hreshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than IS cts. a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over Is
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight GO cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat of
171a cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1919 cts: and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

1t may not generally be known
but it is nevertheless fact that
there is a state law making it a
misdemeanor to throw pieces of glass
into the streets or highways. The
penalty is quite severe. Automobile
owners have been looking into the
matter and propose to prosecute all
persons guilty of the practice. Many
auto owners have been subjected to
heavy expense by reason of having
tires ruined by striking pieces of
broken bottles in the streets or on
country roads, and a determined ef-
fort will be made to stop the throw
ing of bottles and glass on the roads.
About the only thing that will stop
the practice Is to file an information
against q few parties and this will be
done II the trouble continues.
