WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342,OOO,O0O 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
its 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 376OOO,O00 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield OF
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1011, 900 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1921 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, WIN
100000 bushels or - bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342 100000 bushels out Of the total "a
madam 376O0O,000 bushels. 1t Will pc
seen, therefore, that, outside OF the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined 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 practl-
cally three times as much Is no as
couragement. The United States mas
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
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity OF
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures or the
Dominion census bureau:
