Bumper Yield of ft IK. Those who hare friends tn Western Canada will be anxious to learn of the conditions there, and will be interested In knowing that generally the crop prospect is very favorable. Cutting and harvesting have become gen eral, and it is anticipated that the results which will appear when thrashing is completed will be highly satisfactory. With t'Te widely varying weather conditions that have prevailed in the different sections of the prairie provinces it would be Impossible to forecast with any degree of accuracy as to ho\v the crop is made. The Manitoba crop has held its own, and the outlook for the province as a whole la decided* !y good. With the exception of an area south and west of Brandon, grain crops In Manitoba continue to give promises of a good harvest, the best in fact for a number of seasons, it-ports the Canadian National Railways for the week ended July 22. Recent rains and favorable temperatures have Improved conditions wonderfully. Southwestern Manitoba will reap a harvest which will nearly equal the bumper harvest of 1915. Farmers in the district are very optimistic. The rye crop is exceptionally good; many fields will yield upwards of 80 bushels per acre. The fields are remarkably free of weeds, and the grasshopper menace, which has been evident in the southwestern portion of' the province for the part three years, hag been almost entirely obliterated. No damage has been done to the wheat crop by rust, and the oats crop will average more than 00 bushels to the acre. In Saskatchewan there are large areas where the crops are excellent. In places where the prospects some few weeks ago were not encouraging, material change for the better Is apparent. In these places unusually dry weather during a portion of the growing season kept the crops back, but what was most remarkable was the effect that the spring moisture had. While light in some places, this moisture kept sufficient strength In the growing cropt to ensure a fair yield of a good quality of grain. This condition arises in the mid-central dMh trlcts of the province. > The southern portions of the province have been exceptionally favored, reports shbwlng that the yield of all grains will be wonderfully good. The crops of all Saskatchewan are a week or ten days later than those of Manitoba. Conditions In Alberta : i* said to be good, especially In southern- Alberta, where copious and plentiful showers came in time to give assurance of good paying ylelos. This applies to nearly all sections of that district. Northern Alberta, or at least that portion of It lying within thirty miles of Edmonton, has suffered from lack of moisture, a very unusual thing for that district, where there Is generally an abundance. As a result, the heavy yields of wl.eat, oats and barley for which the district Is noted wl!l show considerable falling off over past years. The grain, though, is of excellent quality and the yield will be fair. Pasturage is poor, and the hay crop will fall short of that of any previous year for quite an extended period. On the whole, the prairie provinces of Western Canada wilt have a crop that will warrant- the statement that it will prove satisfactory and remunerative. A numbfer of farmers pnt In corn this year, and tram present appearances there Is a likelihood of an abundant yield for fodder and ensilage, while a goqd deal of It will fully mature. A number of silos were erected this season. While grain growing is losing none of Its Interest, it is highly pleasing to note the number of farmers who are adding dairying to the grain growing Industry.--Advertisement.
