CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
THANScoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana.
dian west the vice-president OF the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. As his firm have
turnover Of millions, and deals ex-
tensiyely with farm implements, this
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 well
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
lnces 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 that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
''In land of snch great sweep, and
OF such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm-
il.g Importance as the spring wheat

about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest

and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,000,000 bushels, so
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out

During the months OF July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavoIlrable

net reduction of 1884, 35, and there will
still be left a surplus of S1,55s.90S.2S

against a surplus Of s1.267 ,39s.95 on
the same date in 1910 and S947. 470.77

The action permitting this remis-
sion of nearly 100000 was taken by
Governor McGoyern under section
1868 OF the statutes which authorizes
the governor, the secretary of state
and state treasurer, or majority
thereof. when the public interests re

visions OF 1870"
Governor McGovern pointed out 10
the state officers that the remission
might be made and still leave sur.
plus in the general fund of almost
S300.000 more than the 1910 surplus
and more than 100000 more than the
1909 surplus.

Drew Of Madison special counsel for
the state in an appeal to the circuit
court by the Northern Pacific rail-
road to test the validity of an order
by the state railroad commission. The
