In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshed the. same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
IN less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring Of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, In
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield Of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels |
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley |
81 bushels.
The financial value Of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices Of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.9O per bushel at the
Great Lakes, a wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average OF
16 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-some have received
$500, and few even more than that.
This price, of course, is not all profit;
1t represents the gross return, and the
cost Of operation must be deducted.
But 1t does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 60 cents to raise
a bushel Of wheat in Western Canada,
30 that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces $1,000 crop costs
In the first case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class Of land would cost In many dis
tricts from 500 to 5000 per acre, and
even then return of $4,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class Of ag- (
ricultural land, capable Of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except perhaps,
some European countries can b %

HIGH CAGERS
TO TRY COMEBACK
Altho Striking Hard Luck in
Loss of Gym, Bakers
Boys Working.

The Tulsa Iii basketball squad has
weathered some pretty tough sailing
since its debut a few weeks ago with
no court for regular workouts and
handicapped by several of the stellar
players being kept cut Of the game
on account of their ineligibility. the
local high school bas askctcers have not
scored the success which was predict
ed at the first of the season.
Being dissatisfied with conditions
in general the jinX turned against the
Tulsa high squad on its trip to
Dewey and left the locals in the
lurch. resulting In "a defeat by n
score OF 80 TO II. Frank Woods.
TUlsa's big center and the strongest
player on the squad. was kept out of
the game because of n death in the
family. and this seriously intorfered
with the work of the Tuslans. Howell
and Duckctt were used in the center
and were unable to get the tip and left
the Tulsa quintet on the defensive
thruout the encounter. Tho locals be-
Ing unable to get the tip, their signals
were of no use.
The Dewey team was i'm the prime
of condition and took the Tulsa III
offering with great ease. Their men
played consistent ball and their team
work was good They had pair of
big guards and their fast hard playing
rushed the light Tulsa forwards Off
their feet and seriously interfered with
their shooting chances.
The season is well on its way and
the locals have Jared rather the worse
for the wear. having dropped two
thirds of their games, Two games are
booked with the Okmulgee Iii and it
Is very probable that they will be
played in Okmulgcc about March .
The Iii squad will take n trip the
15tn and 10th of this month and will
play squads at Ponca city and Black
well during the Journey.
