NEW YORK. Aug. l8-"In the
prairie provinces of Canada, de-
spite the fact that prospective yields

riously lowered by extreme heat

Alberta continue promising and
wheat yields generally in Manitoba

crop report.
In the latter province harvesting
is well advanced and in Saskatche-
wan and Southern Alberta cutting
is fairly general.
Good rains in Manitoba and
showers over most of Saskatchewan
have delayed operations, but the
moisture has been beneficial to late
sown grains and pastures. Little
precipitation has occurred in Al
