This will give to intending harvest
laborers a splendid opportunity to look
over the magnificent wheat fields Of
Western Canada and will give then
the best evidence that can be secured
Of the splendid character OF that coua
try from the farmers standpoint
There will be at least 200,0OOOOo
bushels of wheat harvested within the |
area of the three provinces above
named this year aud 1t is expected
that the yield will run from Is to q |
bushels per acre. Many farmers, this /
year, will net, as a result of thel, |
labors, as much as 50 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 Saskatchs
wan and southern Saskatchewan, and
also In Manitoba, will increase The .
price OF lands In these three provinces
from So to So per acre and the man
who was fortunate enough to secure
lands at from $12 to $40 Per acre will .
have reason for qualification that be
exercised sufficient forethought to 10
vest, while the man who was fOrtr
nate enough to secure Homestead Of
$50 acres free will also have greaG
reason to feel pleased.
Notwithstanding the great addition
to the acreage this year over last and
the large crop that will be ready fr
harvest there is no reason to become
alarmed that the harvest will not b
reaped successfully. There will bei
great demand for these low rates dur
ing the next couple Of months; %
sure to make your application to any
of the agents above mentioned that
may be in your territory at as earl
a date as possible. Harvesting VIII
commence about the 25th Of July and
continue for five or six weeks, Wha
threshing will begiu and there will y
plenty of work until November.
