WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342, ,o00,000 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 Il striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 3TG,000,000 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield OF
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011 ,505,O00 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
tiOn In South America were Argentine,
with 1TS,221 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or Is 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,OO0000 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the CON-
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much is no dis
cOuragement. 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-
ductlveness 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 of the
Dominion census bureau:

A close connection exists between
vhese two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matisIu. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin docs not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, - in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy.
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
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 Tess heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing All these conditions nec-
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
% 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, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average Of
16 bushels per acre, over $4,000 per
acre. 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
it represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But it does not, even at the highest tig-
ures, cost more than 65 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 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 he
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class of az
ricultural land, capable of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except. perhaps
some European countries, can be OBJ
tained at, on the average, from $50 TO
$50 per acre, with irrigated lands some
what higher. 1t is no eXaggeration
whatever to say that a number of
Western Canadian farmers have paid
for their land entirely from the pro
ceeds of last years crop, and this In.
