fully up to the average. The por-
tons referred to had ample rainfall
and blessed with conditions hat put
them into a more enviable condition
than the districts first referred to.
Fortunately in most places where lack
OF precipitation prevented harvesting
a good crop this year, this is the
first OF a number OF years that it
has happened, and the farmers are
in a position TO withstand a partial
failure. Throughout all Of Manitoba,
Central Saskatchewan and the largest
portion of Alberta conditions are
good. The raising Of cattle, sheep and
hogs is now playing an important
part In the success Of the West
ern Canada Farmer. From these,
and the product Of the dairy and
the Dreaming. he is placing himself
in an excellent financial position. 1t
is expected that during 1915 the acre
age sown to grains Of ali kinds will be
largely in excess Of all previous years.
In the districts that had not the crop
that others had, there is no disheart~
edness, but embracing the opportunity

universal. At a recent contest OF fields
| sowu not later than June, 1912, there
were prizes awarded in all districts in
Saskatchewan. The quality was eX-
cellent. In Alberta it will soon be-
come the popular feed. In Manitoba
the growing OF alfalfa is quite success
full, and many farmers are now prepar-
ing land for It.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re-
turn from a trip TO Western Canada,
furnishes the following contribution:
I'll dream again Of fields Of grain
that stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets, where
the cars go roaring by,
| Wooden hamlets as / saw them-nobls
cities still to be
To girdle stately Canada with gems
from sea TO sea;
Mother o. a mighty manhood, Land OF
glamour and Of hope,
From the eastward sea-swept Islands
to the SUNNY Western slope"
1t is the inspiration that led Sir
Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
now in Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.
