COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to 25 and 80 BUSH
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and Others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions. 4, is found
that during the months OF September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total of 1871 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97% cents; that below contract
for the two months was little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S91s cents per bushel
realized q little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of 35 million bushels, which realized
q total of a little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
Of the wheat crop Of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of number
OF men farming in large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
2ense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than So cts. bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 13
cts. per bushel This would make the
cost of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat of
| 171s cts. and for his high-grade wheat
Of 1914 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised. and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

ECZEMA DIsFIeuRED BABY

"our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box ss3, West Point, Neb.,
