In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 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 blowing
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 neces-
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 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
| 81 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 $190 per bushel at the
| Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
| figures would pay the farmer, even
! supposing he had only the average of
| Is bushels per acre, over $4,000 per
| acre. large number are receiving
| $4,000 per acre-some have received
| $500, and a 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 fig
| ures cost more than 60 cents to raise
q bushel of wheat in Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
/ ingly. It 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
| tri:ts from 500 to $500 per acre, and
| even then a return Of $4,000 would be
| considered extremely satisfactory. In
| Western Canada the best class of ag'
! :icutural land, capable of producing
'rops that in size compare with any
ountry in the world except, perhaps
