RYE HAS RISEN IN y
POPULARITY AMONG
CANADIAN FARMERS

Calgary, Alta. Oct. 10.-The rise Of

fsthe great surprise OF the syear in
western Canadian agriculture. Last
year the surprise was the sudden
fashion Of raising sunhowers. 80 80:
Ihe Noble farms north of Calgary;
largest farms in Canada, were ',the-
pioneer growers Of rye. The variety
is Rosen which Charles Noble, one Of

lis said to have originated. The large
crop harvested on. the Noble farms
this: year was sold in a~dvance:for seed
to: farmers throughout the three
prairi. provinces. s.ai,.
i, One of the great advantages Of
Rcsen rye, it is said, its ability to
produce a profitable crop. even in the
dryest seasons. Moreover. it is used
as pasture both in fall and spring. If
pastured down to the ground by stock
in the fall and again after it up
green and deep in the spring, it will
still go on in the growing months of
summe and yield a heavy crop.
On the Noble farms, 5000 acres will
be seeded to Rosen rye this. fall and
most of the farmers in southern AL
berta, it is said. figure on planting q
large acreage. AS an example Of the
profits to be derived from. the grow
ing OF rye, q farmer near GrayelDurR,
in southwestern Saskatchewan has
just finished harvesting forty-two
bushels an acre for forty-four acres.
He sold his crop for $1,000. b
