5O,O00 NEEDED TO HARVEST WESTERN
 CANADA'S CROP
Will Take 160,0O0 Alto. gether to Take Care of Yield of Prairie
 Provinces.


 'arm hands will be required this year to harvest the grain crops of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Of this number thc local help will pro- vide about 112,000. which will leave about 50,000 extra farm hands. There Is. therefore. a great demand for this class of laborers in all parts of West. srn Canada. In order to meet the re- quirements it has been arranged to grant very low railway rates from all boundary points reached by Canadian railways. In order to secure these rates it will be necessary for you to call on one of the following authorized agents of the Canadian government: NJ. Y. McInnes, 176 Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, Michigan; C. A. Laurier. Mar quette. Michigan; ]. S. Crawford. Syracuse, N. Y, Thos. Hetherington, Room POP, g Fremont Street, Boston. Mass; H. NJ. Williams, 413 Gardner Bldg. Toledo, Ohio; Geo. Aird. 216 Traetfon-Terminal Bldg. Indianapolis, Indiana; C. J. Broughton, Room 412 Merchants Loan & Trust Bldg. Chi cago, H.. Geo A Hall, 2nd Floor, 125 Second Street. Milwaukee, Wis; E. T. Holmes. 315 Jackson Street, St. Paul. Minn.: Chas. Filling, Clifford Block. Grand Forks, N D.; J. NJ. Mac Laehlan. Box 197, Watertown. $. D.; w. Y. Bennett. Room 1, Bee Bldg Omaha, Neb.; W. H. Rogers. 125 West 9th Street, Kansas City, Mo; Benj Davies, Room 6. Dunn Block, Great Falls. Montana; ]. B. Carbonneau, Jr PIT Main Street, Biddeford, Me; J. N Grieye, Auditorium Building, Spokane, Wash.
 This will 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 1t Is expected | that the yield will run from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Many farmers, this year, will net, as result of their | labors, as much as SS to $10 per acre and many of them will deposit as profits as much as sS,000 to $10,000
 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 fin Manitoba, will increase the price of lands in these three provinces from 8 to S5 per acre and the man who was fortunate enough to secure lands at from SIP to S20 per acre will have reason for qualification that he exercised sufficient forethought to in- vest, while the man who was fortu- nate enough to secure a homestead of 160 acres free will also have a greater reason to feel pleased.
 Notwithstanding the great addition to the acreage this year over last and the large crop that will be ready for harvest there is no reason to become alarmed that the harvest will not be reaped successfully. There will be a great demand for these low rates dur ing the next couple of months; be sure to make your application to any of the agents above mentioned that may be in your territory at as early a date as possible. Harvesting will commence about the 25th of July and continue for five or six weeks, when threshing will begin and there will be plenty of work until November.
