In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields In many districts were
very large. So large, iadeed. was the
acreage under cultivation in 1918 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 plowing
was done than would have been done
In a less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions neees-
sarily 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 hlgh-prieed,
and one factor In the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was eyi-
dent.
Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, In
common with the entire North AmeFi
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 Is bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
~ bushels.
The financial value of taeir crops TO
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing 10 the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceiyed that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over Sl.90 per bnshel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
| figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average OF
! 10 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. large number are receiving
/ $4,000 per acre-some have received
/ 5000, and q few even more than that
This price of course, is not an profit
II represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted
but It does not. even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 90 cents to raise
a bushel of wheat In Western Canada
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces $4,000 crop cost:
in the first case, probably less thar
that. In the United States the sam,
class Of land would cost in many dis
tricts from 500 to $500 per acre, ant
even then return of $4,000 would b,
