WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
of April or about as early as In Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to haI:d that on first
of May all seeding was practically fin.
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum.
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number Of farm
ers who have gone into the raising of
cattle has been considerably in.

tensive cultivated grass pastures is

In Saskatchewan there will be q
large increase in the area planted, and
in Alberta many of the more progress.
sive farmers are taking hold of It..
The yield varies according to the cul.
tivation it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where 1t has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and 1t is
expected that variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of marketable corn
equal to that 1t has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
