This probably as much as anything
else will give some idea of the state
Of mind Of the Western Canada farm
er, as he watches the tally from the
thrashing machine while his wheat is
being carried to the elevator.
From all sections Of the country,
the most optimistic reports are re-
ceived, the local and city papers are
filled with reports from twenty to thir-
ty bushels Of wheat to the acre, while
in some places oats are showing rec
ord of as high as 100 bushels to tho
acre.
Referring to Saskatchewan. it is con-
fidently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 125 million bushels.
Heavy rains which fell in districts that
did not promise so well In July. had
greatly improved the prospects there,
and there is no question that paying
yields will be produced. The yields
in the eastern part Of the province
may not show to the advantage that
will those Of the western part, but
too much cannot he said of this, for 1t
Is the results as they come from the
machine. and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There is now every reason to believe
that the wheat crop Of the three prai-
rie provinces will approach 25O mil
lion bushels.
Alberta will exceed the 20 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably
higher than it has been in the province
in any Of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in
recent report gave the opinion that 1t
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre. and that it might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most Of the wheat in the province
when the report was written. stood
well up to three feet high. and on
some fields was still higher. The re-
port goes on that in parts Of South
ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to
the acre yields will not be uncommon,
while there will be good many yields
of from thirty to thirty-6v bushels
to the acre.
In the northwest part Of the prov
ince, in the country surrounding Bat
tleford and adjacent to the Canadian
National Railway line to Lloydminster,
and south the crops are excellent and
the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
is being thrashed in Manitoba. It has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 225,0OO,OOO bushels, and it may
be that somewhere between 25O,OOO.-
600 and 3OO.OOO,OOO bushels will be the
final figure.
Oats is good crop in all three
provinces. This crop has also grown
rapidly during the last two or three
weeks. Excepting from those fields
which were sown late for green feed,
the yield will be heavy and the grain
excellent. Barley and rye are above
the average. There was sufficient help
to harvest the crop.-Advertisement
