FLAX GROWING
IS PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS be,
COMING RICH IN IT'S
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount Of money made out
of growing wheat In the prairie prov,
1nces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products OF the farms are overs
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,
nifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry of tho
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 it's big YIELDS
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and a big one is fax.
The growing Of fax is extensively car
ried-cc-:2-WWsste Canada. Tine
writer has before him a circular is.
sued by a prominent farmer at Saskar
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 a,
yield of twenty-nine 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 a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south Of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres Of summer fallow q 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 tanner 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 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.
