hills almost two years rather than

Amerine, drafted into the army, left
a wife and two-year old babe at home,

could neither read nor write and the

the rich yield of the great northwest
ern wheat fields"
That the crops in Canada, both east
and Wesl. are meeting the expectations
of the farmers is a satisfying fact,
which gives Il positive assurance of
yield that will mean millions of dol
lars to the wealth of the country.
There will probably be as much as two
hundred million bushels of wheat to
export, giving an added wealth to the
country of nearly half a billion dol
lars. In all parts the crop yield
promises to be abundant, and with
favorable weather from now on there
may be expected harvest that will
equal if not surpass that Of 1915. 1t
will doubtless be pleasing to the many
readers of this paper to know that
the friends they have developing their
farms in this region of big crops and
good prices will participate in this
wealth, and what will be more pleas
ing, is the knowledge Of the fact that
the wealth in which they will partici-
pate comes from big prices for
product produced from land purchased
at cheap price.
! Western Canada has never known
failure in crops. There are districts
where partial failures have been, but
consideration should be given to the
fact that the country, that portion of
| it in which the present grain growing
| lies, is from seven to eight hundred
miles in length by half that distance
in breadth.
Because one speaks of the wonder
full success of grain growing there,
there should not be lost sight of the
fact that this is only one item in the
wealth-producing possibilities. There
is cattle raising, with all the advan-
tages in every way that it possesses
anywhere; the dairying industry Is as
Stunning remarkable proportions, and a
great deal of attention is given to the
development of this industry, which is
so adaptable to the country, by both
federal and provincial gOvernments.-

Boston Banker, Returning From Trip

Yields of Great Northwestern

A Boston banker, desiring to re-
cuperate from a season of strenuous
work, did what most bankers do, or
should do, took holiday, away from
the confines of the city life. Canada
was in his mind. He would make the
trip, learn something Of the country,
breathe of its ozone and return ex-
hilarated both in mind and body. On
his return a few days ago, he told the
reporter of the Wall Street Journal of
the richness of the vast fields of gold
en- grain that he saw on his trip
through the Canadian West. Doubt
less he broke his journey into the
Canadian Rockies long enough to make
an inspection of them. Who could
help it, as from the car window were
to be seen miles and miles of golden
stocks, ranged row upon row away
back to the lines of the horizon? He
must have done so, for when he got
back to the Hub, he was filled with
enthusiasm over his trip and what he
saw in Canada. and he had to get it
off his mind. 1t was revealed in this
way:
Canada is getting strong, recover
ing by leaps and bounds from the de,
preston caused by war. While unrest
and lack of cooperation seem to be
