ed this year. The railroads are add

have got ready for handling the crop
thousands of box cars The govern
ment agents and the railways are max
ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush Of business that is sure to
follow, and everywhere there Is the
note of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly %justifiable.
There is, as has been said, a vast
area Of the country still open for set
element and demonstrating lying in the
center north. Speaking of this part
a writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in. its green stage, said:
Just now, the whole country is q
beautiful sight, as it presents itself in
full dress Of living green, varied In
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and i~nterspersed with pleatings Of
shrubbery and patches of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav-
cling over the virgin soil, I have seen
some Of the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep rayines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid Of man. The land in general
Is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions of
acres Of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one Of a few small
garden patches.
When we consider the estimated
crop of 100000, 900 bushels of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches.
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is exces-
sive, but with even $50 million bushels.
there will be a great deal OF satisfac.
ton on the part OF the settlers.
