Record Harvest Predicted for Canada. After having made a careful Surrey of the wheat producing area of the United States, experts whose business it Is to keep the people informed on the acreage sown to foodstuffs state that this year there will be a falling olT in the wheat production In the States, due to a considerably less area cultivated. The opinion of these experts is that the decrease will be several hundred million bushels of wheat less than In previous years, which Recording to past experience will be scarcely sufficient to meet the requirements of the demands of the people of this country. In Canada, however, the situation Is different. Reliable reports on the crop situation throughout Western Canada are such as to create the most substantial optimism. Never before were the prospects so encouraging for a bumper harvest. It Is predicted that the yield this year will be even greater than In 1915. the j'ear of the record harvest In Canada, when the total production was S93,542,C00 bushels. Not only Is the wheat looking excellent, but the same Is true of oats, barley and flax, of which a greatly increased acreage has been sown In the great grain producing provinces of Canada. The rains that have fallen recently have come at the right time to stimulate growth and there Is now considerable moisture In the ground. With the world generally facing a shortage of wheat and a continued heavy demand for It, the price Is likely to be maintained at the present high figure. In many districts corn has been more extensively planted than In previous years and It Is looking remarkably well. Many settlers from the United States who came to Western Canada and bought Improved farms In the early spring have every prospect of a crop yield that will give them a return sufficiently large, after paying all current expenses, to pay off a large part of their capital investment. Livestock is in excellent condition everywhere, the rains having Induced a good growth of grass. Advertisement.
