Farming on a Large Scale. Clarence Dewey Raises 20,000 bushels of Wheat on 800 acres in the West. Mr. Clarence H, Dewey returns to Young, Sask. He has been visiting his mother, Mrs. Julianna Dewey, at Honey's Corners, sirice Christmas. Mr. Dewey owns 14 quarter-sections of land, (2240 acres) 40 miles East of S Last he harv- ested 800 acres of wheat, 166 acres of oats and 70 'acres of flax. His wheat yielded him more than 25 bushels to the acre, or more than 20,000 bushels. His oats yielded him an average of 60 bushels to the gcre and his flax 700 bushel for the 70. acres. , The flax was a very poor crop and was not half the yield he had in 1927. He also had 200 acres of Barley. Mr. Dewey settled in Saskatchewan in the fall of 1906 and for several years worked 17 or 18 hours a day without any help in the winter in order to get a start. He was married in 1909 and has now seven children, three of whom are boys old enough to handle a team. He has 57 work horses and in the summer keeps 6 six- horse teams in the field. He uses a tractor as well but does not depend very much on that machine. Mr, Dewey's brother, Joseph Abner Dewey, lives about 6 miles East of Clarence, and owns five quarter sec- tions or 800 .acres of land. Mr. Dewey says that the grain pool has proved to be the salvation of farming in his district. Two-thirds of the farmers would have left the district but for the advantages given them by the pool which has increased the price of grain to the farmer at least 25%. He says that many farmers work much'larger farms than he has, and states that the West is certainly a land of opportunity for the courageous young man who is willing to work. tte (niin kad gor oi Furnishings NEW WALL PAPERS Paper of the highest grade--new patterns and colors as recognized by Biwardhus Toilet Paper Va Epsom Salts Pilchards ....... cs.
