The quality of Western Canada wheat is recognized everywhere. The latest census returns show that in the Province of Manitoba, which stands out as one of great wealth and wonderful opportunity, the land area under wheat increased from 1,965,200 acres in 1900 to 2,760,471 acres in 1910, being ah increase 0f.40.46 per cent, in the decade. The wheat area of 1911 is greate* than that of 19io by 334,461 There are increases in the area of production of all cereals for 1910 over 1900, excepting peas and mixed grains. Of cereals grown in 1910 the largest gross monetary return per acre was given by peas with $20.51, followed by beans with $16.37, fall wheat with $15.67, corn for husking with |12.63, flax $11.15, buckwheat $11.06, spring wheat $10.34. The smallest returns were obtained from oats, rye and barley in the order named. Tbe average value per farm holding of field crops, vegetables and fruit

was $1,024.71 In 1910, as against $518.03 in 1900, being an increase of 79.18 per cent, in the decade. Coming back to the crops of 1913, it may safely be said that the yield of wheat in Saskatchewan will be about 115,000,000 bushels, with ait average yield of over 22 bushels per acre. Oats, which are but a fair crop, will yield an average equal to that of last year. Barley is excellent, while flax, of which the average is considerably less than last year, will produce a greater average than for years. What is said of these crops will apply to all districts. Under date of August 12th, a report comes from Regina which says: “Unless some dire calamity occurs in the next few days farmers of the Regina district will reap the greatest wheat crop ever recorded in the West. “A correspondent made an automobile trip to the north and west of the city, over twenty-seven miles being covered. Several fields were seen

which were almost ripe enough for the binder. Others require about a week more warm weather, but'everywhere was the indication of a phenomenal yield. Oats do not average up with the wheat, but several good fields were seen. This time next week the hum of the binder should be the prevalent music around Regina. “One farm was passed on which there was one square mile of the finest wheat imaginable. It is just turning yellow and will run forty bushels to the acre.” In Alberta there will be a high yield of all grains. Wheat will be a heavier average than last year. Oats about the same, flax heavier and bar* ley about the same.—Adv.
