There has always been an order against the selling of liquor at camps, but it has usually been more or less evaded, and as long as the canteen sold only to members of the regiment it was not molested. The movement against the canteen by temperance organi- zations, resulting in verdicts in the courts against the canteen, has now been supplemented by the above departmental instructions.

Frank O. Fowler, secretary of tae North-West Grain Dealers’ Association, is in receipt of many wires from Eastern cities on the subject. He said on Wed- nesday: _ “The natural increase in acreage this year will be about 800,000 acres at arough estimate. This is the result of lands thrown open and homest-eading. The acreage last year ‘was, about 6,700,000 acres. in Manitoba. This year it will be about 7,500,000 acres. At an aver- age crop_ of 17 or 18 bushels per acre, which is a small one, this will mean an increase in the estimates of last year of about 15,000,000 bushels. Add this to' the estimated 100,000,000 bushels of last year, and it will be seen that this year’s crop may be roughly estimated at about 115,000,000 bushels. Of course, this is taking every advantage and dis~ advantage into consideration.” In older sections, Mr. Fowler thinks, the acreage may increase to l some considerableextent.
