Stuart ]. Fuller, American consul at
Goteborg, makes the following report
to the Washington authorities regard
ing Swedish emigration: Swedish
emigration, the bulk of which is
through the port of Goteborg, was
much less in 1911 than in the preced7
ing year. Over two-thirds of emil
grants came from the Goteborg dis
trict, the total departures from this
port being 15,479 in 1911, as against
22,658 in 1910. Of these, $3.50 in 1911
and 1851 in 1910 were subjects Of
Sweden. The total emigration for
the kingdom is estimated at 1880
persons of Swedish nationality in 1911,
as compared with 10000 in 1910,
women forming 42.7 per cent of the to-
tai number in 1911, in contrast to 1913
per cent in 1910. Practically all of
these emigrants go to the United
States and Canada. While not all of
the emigrants reported as of Swedish
nationality are leaving the kingdom
for the first time to find homes in
America, still these figures are inter-
esting from the light they throw on
the trend of the tide of emigration
and also on the traffic that would be
available for possible direct steamship
connection between Sweden and the
United States, to say nothing of in
huences that result from the visiting
back and forth of naturalized citizens
and the consequent interchange of
IDEAS"

FLAX GROWING
IS PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE.
COMING RICH IN ITS h&fS
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 a big n is flax.
The growing of flax Is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by a prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment Of seed flax, 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 a
yield of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per ere 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 a
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 a
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 (1911) 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 300 bushels
of fax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products of

individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
