A Paris draft for 61,199.52 francs
was presented to Marshal Foch by

This money was to be used to adopt

GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers of Western Canada Re-
joice at Harvest.
Largest Crop in the History of the
Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
sdereI Assured.

Reports of Western Canada's wheat
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate, as they are made at the
end of the season, when the crop is
fully harvested, would indicate
yield of between 35O,0OO,0O0 and &c.,
100000 bushels from total acreage
of 21,471, 900. This Is the greatest
yield in the history Of the provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. This immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies of all public bodies-rail-
ways and governments. 1t required
the assistance, outside Of that locally
employed, of upward Of 10000 men.
These were brought into the country
from the East, the West and the
South, by trainloads. and rushed for
ward at express speed, to be placed in
the different districts. under the direc-
ton of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, of the needs.
4 AS a result of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop in the history
of the West was successfully harvest

almost universally, in every section
of the country. the grain graded high.
