WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342,OOO,OOO Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out Of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
"Nlistress of Wheat" to the extent that
It's 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 37G,OOOOOO bushels of wheat
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,0ll ,505,0OO bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton In South America were Argentine,
with 1922 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
842 100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,00O,0OO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the com
bincd production of North and South
America. Canada is of course a new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
Cally three times as much is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductlveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
Ing the 1918 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity OF
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of ngriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau.

II appears that the prevailing creed

this creed that the medieval tuniC which

In less heavy year, because the aver

only long belts, hanging or crossed. In
August they came to us gloriticd be
cihlSe they We're enlarged and lined
with different color to call attention
to the important place they occupied
in the decoration scheme. Up to the
last month, these bclt-Sashcs We're tied
in big loops at the side and dropped
softly to the hem of the short skirt.
Now the loops have disappeared, and
the sash, coming from some part of the
waist, Is simply crossed and falls To
the very edge of the skirt, producing
long, severe line. The sash that
will adorn spring skirts will be about
II third of a yard wide and will be
lined with itself, unless the owner has
black and white costume, when the
sash will show white underneath.
Speaking of black and white, the
combination was brought out by two
big houses in August. Other places
called the idea "old," "dcmode," and
did not advise their clients TO order
anything in it. During the last month
the very best gowns I've seen at the
opera, thcntcr or afternoon teas have
been the one of black satin or velvet

Combinations in Gray.

In the spring II is sure to be re-
peatcd, for by the side of the black
and white, colors appear garlsh. If
anything shares equal popularity with
this combination, it is gray, which is
used in different shades. The gray is
apt to be built on white, either in
corsagc or skirt, and with the many
foldings, the shades vary from pearl
to iron. AS all the layers nrc of
mousscline or tulle illusion, the en-
scmblc is dclicately soft and seduc-
tive.
We occasionally use gray with Nat
tier blue, but by itself or with white
satin 1t Is best and most flattcring.
Gray used with white in this manner
will greatly influence spring styles
here. Parisicnncs who are tired of
