America has known. The natural con-
ditions peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing. has
been an insnrmountahle barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty BUSH
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms. while others have fur
niShed aflidavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty BUSH
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to a crop return of over
hfty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from thousand acres. While this Is
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to Illustrate the fer
tility of the soil and the possibilities
of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Cam
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to
being THE Worlds natural bread bas-
ket. '-Advertisement.
