every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-

hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342,000,O00 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
erS Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress 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 376,000000 bushels Of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011 ,505,000 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors i'm wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1921 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or Ii bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342, 100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,000,000 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
blned 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
enlargement. 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-
ductiveness Of Western Canadian land
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
