Two Years Crops OF
Western Canada Would
Pay All National Debt

Winnipeg, Man. Oct. 1.-THE menu
Der of a. party of New York and Min
neapolis grain men and bankers who
the three prairie provinces
Canada this year declared that il
the crop Of 1921 produced as much
money as the 1920 crop promised to
do. the three prairie provinces will in
two seasons yield a sufficient sum to
pay the national debt of Canada.
One of the bankers interviewed,
George II. Prince. chairman Of
the board of the Merchants bank of
st. Paul. Mr.. Prince was induced to
make a trip through western Canada
in 1902. He was ut Saskatoon. Sask.,
that year and did not see the area
again until this month. He declared
that itw as too remarkable to be true
and as remarkable as u romance.
When he passed through Saskat-
chewan is years ago there were only
two houses in Saskatoon and there
were less than 1000 people in the
present city Of Calgary. Saskatoon
now has $4,000 people and Calgary
$4,000.
Mr.. Prince estimated the value of
the western Canada crop at about d
billion and said that only about
fifteen per cent of the tillable area Of
the provinces was under cultivation.
The wheat crop of the year.. he
thought. would be in the neighbor-
hood of 25O,Oo0,00 bushels. and the
area under crop, he was Informed,
was 20. 900 acres. Mr.. Prince an
ticipated that the United States would
aid materially in financing western
Canada and that very large quantities
of wheat raised here would be milled
in MINNEAPOLIS.
