THE CROPS IN WESTERN CANADA Optimism Throughout the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas* , katchewan and Alberta. During the present summer a number of important delegations have visited the Canadian West for the purpose of securing information as to the crop conditions and the conditions of business ’ generally. For some months the financial stress was felt throughout the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia as well as in other portions of the country.

Alfalfa, clover and timothy grasses were good, and many farmers are now cultivating these splendid fodders. The homestead shack is giving place to comfortable residences. Large barns are being erected where the Improvlsed log and mud stable gave shelter to the few head of cattle that the early settler may have had in his possession. Fields are fenced, roads constructed and great fields of grain and pasture land are always in evidence.
