WOOL SHOWING IN CANADA A SUCCESS

This By-Product of the Farm Will Make Many Western Canada Farmers Rich. Z'.berta wool growers are looking for 25 cent wool this year. That is the assertion made by a prominent sheepman of the Grassy Lake district. “It Is quite within the pale of possibility that we will receive that figure from our wool this summer,” said he, ‘‘and I would not be surprised to see some get more than that. “The war has caused a great demand to be made on the woolen mills, and they have got to have the raw material.' The present season has been most propitious for the growing of wool, and the growers expect to reap a big harvest of a splendid quality. The winter has been very even, and the sheep are doing well on the ranges. No special breed of sheep is kept on Western Canada farms, and all seem to do well. The advice of those interested in the welfare of the farmers of Western Canada, advise all who can at all do so to enter upon the raising of sheep. They have proved most profitable to those who go into that industry on a scale commensurate with their means, and their farm area. The climate is perfectly adapted to the raising of sheep, they are easily kept, and as pointed out, there is good money to be made out of them. —Advertisement.
