highly. There are also many descend

FARMERS DO WELL

ers OF Western Canada.
VIII Get Above 90 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale set--World Looking
TO the Dominion for its
Grain.

II will be OF interest 70 many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
In Canada will do so well out of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was a fixed price OF $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price Mt which Il
would be possible to market the crop.
the Canadian grain board, which or
ganization handled the whole Of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as a min
imum price for No. / wheat. and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered. Tie amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end Of the season, and
the holders Of these certificates will,
therefore, participate In the extra
price received according to the guam
ttty OF wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
q bushel over the fixed rate Of $2.15 a
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about 40.000,000 win
be distributed among the farmers Of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference In
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat In Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would In all probability sell this year
at between So and So per bushel. was
made recently before n conference Of
western supporters Of the government
by DR.. Robert Magill, who was one Of
a deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued In IA
vor Of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
sIa owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australla's acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
iy no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
nouncement, though II would be Inn
possible to secure as good a price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
ter. The net result would be that Ca
