WESTERN CANADi'S
GRAIN CROP FOR 1914
THE WHEAT CROP ALONE WILL
BE WORTH UPWARDS OF
ONE HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS.

The yield of wheat in Western Cana
da for 1914 Is now safely estimated ut
1875 million bushels. This is not as
large as In 1918 but for various rea-
sons will net the farmer considerably
more money. Had IL not been for
drought that struck some portions OF
Southern Alberta and Southwestern
Saskatchewan, shortly after seeding,
there would have been a phenomenal
crop and with present prices there
would have been year of un-
precedented prosperity. In q large
district of the country the crops are

sown not later than June, 1912, there
were prizes awarded in all districts in
Saskatchewan. The quality was ex-
cellent. In Alberta 1t will soon be-
come the popular feed. In Manitoba

ing land for 1t.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re-
turn from q trip to Western Canada,
furnishes the following contribution:
TIL dream again Of fields OF grain
that stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets, where
the cars so roaring by,
Wooden hamlets an saw them--nohie
cities still to be
To girdie stately Canada with gems
from sea to sea;
Mother OF mighty manhood, Land OF
glamour and OF hope,
From the eastward sea-swept Islands
to the sunny Western slope"

Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
now In Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.
