FARMERS DO we'll
Record Prices Paid Wheat'G Grow
ers of Western Canada.
viii Get Above 40 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale Set-WorId Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be of interest to 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 fixed price Of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at which 1t
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 min
lmum price for No. l wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity OF
wheat he delivered. Tie amount re-
reived 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
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
y
oushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $4,000, 900 will
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
hst seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat In Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
1T between $3 and $5 per bushel, was
made recently before a conference Of
western supporters of the government
BY DIR. Robert Magill. who was one Of
1 deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued In ia
vor of open trading from the aspect
ef world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
Dia owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
aone to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australia's acreage
would fall from 1900. 900 to 1000 900.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
y no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
aouncement, though 1t would be i'm
possible to secure as good a price for
the producer by control as by tho
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
