FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts OF the wheat
growing portions of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what of oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields,
and it's excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and big one is fax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
Of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had
yield Of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose Of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case of
Mr. White, living fourteen miles
south Of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres OF summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year q91D the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 800 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products Of
Western Canada farms, all Of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appli-
cation by the Government agents.

formed by the Sd cavalry and It was
only this week that the I'd cavalry was
