--·--:------~- MANITOBA'S OROP. REl.'ORT 01' THE WIFNIPEG HOARD OF TRADE, DISTRICT NOTE ~ Srn.-Acting under your instructions, l give herewith an estimate of this season's crop of the Province of Manitoba, based on information received by the Board from the principal grain, commission and agricultural implement :firms doing business in the province, and such._ other reliable sources as are open.. WHEA'l'. FALL I FALL!! FALL . I !! Dry Goods. vYe take great pleasure in announcing that we have com~pleted arrangements for the Fall Trade. We have employed our time during the quiet summei· months visiting .the markets, ex~winine- ,samples, testing goods by all possible means, comparing prices of different manufacturers, using every care and precautiou~as to quality, appearance and prices, till at last we have succeeded in placing in stock as fine an assortment of DTy Goods as ever was shown in Bowman ville. We cannot begin to ennumerate our immense stock in detail, but we invite t he public to call and inspect our stock, even though you may not wish to purchase call, examme and compare, a ncl if you are not satisfied that we can show you better v ctlue for your money than you are accustomed to, do not buy. In ;June last the crop reporters of the Department of Agriculture of Manitoba, n11mbering 350, and representing 3ol townships; made returns af 432,134 acres under wheat crop. It was estimated before harvest, when the grain was standing, that the averago yield would be abuut 24 busheh per acre, but on threshing it has been found that the actual yield is full.y 20 per cent grP,ater than that estimate. In many sections the yield has been not less t.han 35 bushels per acre. Grain buyers are practically a unit in declaring that thirty hushels is a sufficiently low estimate of the average yield of wht:at for the Province, the only difference of opinion being as to the acreage under crop, some estimates being ten ptir cent. un<ler the amount returned by the crop reporters. But the test of the amount of binding twine sold to farmers this year proves conclusively that the Government reports underestimate, rather than over estimate, the area of the wheat fields. Taking a lower estimate than has been decided on by our principal grain dealers and millers (30 bushels as mentioned above), I have averaged the yield at 28 bushels, which, on the returned acrea~e of 432,134, gives as a total, 12,099,864 bushels. Allowance must be made for a home consumption, for seed and breadstuffs of 2,000.000 bushels, which leaves in round numbers 10,000,000 bushels available for export. :BARJ,EY. Mr, W.

The yield in al! grains in Manitoba is so enormous, and being unprecedented in most parts of this continent persons who have not visitHd the Province may be loath to believe that t he estimates l1ere· with presented are of . any approximate value. It is well, therefore, to apply such tests a.s are obtainable t o verify the correctness of the figures set forth. By actual returns obtained from all dealers in binding twine in Manitoba, I find that 1,81(),130 pounds weight of that article was sold to farmers this season. A lowing 3J pounds of twine to an acre of wheat, and 2 pounds to an acre of oats (though, as a matter of fact four-fifths of the oats, nearly all the barley, and a considerable percentage of the wheat were bound with straw bands or raked, owing to tho shortage of twine in the market) the following result is found :Wheat, 432.131 acres at 3}lbs ............ 1,512.460 Oats, 100,000 acres at 2 lbs . . .. ......... -~~.ooo B};YOKD D1sPUTE.-Tbere is no better, safer or more pleasant. coni.th remedy mad~ than Hagyard's Pectoral Balsam.
