In the central portion OF Alberta.
It is said that crop conditions are
more favorable than In any previous
year. Heavy rains recently visited
this part, and the whole of this grain
growing section has been covered. Re
ports like the following come from
all parts:
splendid heavy rain yesterday.
Crops forging ahead. Great prospects.
All grains more than a week ahead
of last year. Wes>her warm last
week. Good rains last night"
From southern Alberta the reports
to hand indicate sufficient rain. Crops
in excellent condition. Labor scarce.
Throughout Saskatchewan all grains
are looking we'll, and there has been
sufficient rain to carry them through
to harvest.
From all portions Of Manitoba
there comes an assurance OF an
abundant yield of all grains Through
out southern Manitoba, where rain
was needed a few weeks ago, there
has lately been abundant precipita-
ton, and that portion of the province
will in all probability have crop to
equal the best anticipations. A large
quantity of grain was sown on the
stubble in the newer west, which Is
never a satisfactory method Of farm
ing, and may reduce the general av-
erage.
Taken altogether, the country is
now fully two weeks in advance OF
last year, and in all grains the acre
ages sown are much larger than in
1911. This means that with aus
picious weather the west will have
the grandest harvest in its history.
Two hundred and fifty million bushels
of wheat has been mentioned as an
estimate of the present growing crop,
and it looks now as if that guess will
be none too large.
