Worth Almost as Much as Last Sea- o., ---u-- The Thrashing Returns Result im a . Feeling of Hope and Confidence That Was Lacking on the Plains a Few Weeks Ago. Regina, Oct, 21,--- Official returns, which are now being received by the tehewan Department of Agricul- ture from about one thousand corres- pondents in all parts of the Province, indicate that the total wheat yield for 4997 § eae 80,000,000 bushels. The 1. informa- ere UaNty last month, and were intended to cover conditions uy = Prag eecoggal 25. When the an- to these were received it was found by the department be a total yield of about 35,000,000 bushels was indicated. The official riers to the conclusion that these riage 'did not pay sufficient attention to unfavor- able weather conditions which prevailed during the latter half of September, and that the total indicated was, therefore, ge. The correspondents, were then asked to revise their figures, and From these it is calculated that the averaye yield per acre is about fif- tecn bushels. The acreaye under* crop, according to the "d official estimate, is 1,965,774, indicating total produc- tion of 29,486,610 bushels: It may be that the final returns will show a de- viation from the average of fifteen bush- els, and an accurate estimate will not be possiblo until the final returns from the thrashers arc compiled about the end of the calender year. Fof the present, however, the department is figuring on a production of about 80,000,000 bush- "els. A MUCH LOWER AVERAGE, The production in 1906, according to the final returns of the department, was slightly over 87,000,000 bushels on an acreage of 1,730,586, showing an age yield of about twenty-one jcabak! per acre. The total production as well as the average is decidedly below the record of last year. The acreage is 235,- 188 larger this season, while the total production is expected to ut 8,- 000,000 bushels less, The falling off of the average yield per acre from twenty- oue bushels to abouf fifteen is the most significant feature of the reports, and the diminished production which is thus indicated reflects closely the damage caused by unfavorable weather from the time the seed went into the ground until the grain was in the stook, The low average is partly due, of course, to the fact that some of the fields especially in districts along the iain line of the Canadian Pacitic Railway, Were n- doned as unfit to cut, the farmers con- sidering it useless to waste money, labor and binder twine in cutting and harvesting the grain. Many leas yields are rere ported and some sections of the vince have garnered the largest crop 'in "their history. Others have len "low the average of other years, and it is these which have knockec down the averago fer the whole country. The general result, so far as quantities are concerned, is regarded as- highly satisfactory, anda yield of 29,000,000 will falfil the best expectations of those themselves familiar NEW SECTIONS DO WELL, The late information indicates a the new settlements have done better There are a few young is which have failed to fulfil LISTOWEL Excellent crops in the ticighborhood of Moose Jaw, Regina, along the Soo line, and in districts touching the Regi ce Albe Y known in years gone by as jatiog wheat districts, and their present in- ability to measure up to the standards of the past is largely nae for 8 decline in the total output. MONEY RETURN WILL BE GOOD. Whatever the results of th may be, the high prices prevailin the wheat markets of the world will in sure au enormous financial return to the grain producers of the Province as Sah. It is certain that the esti price to be paid for the lower grades Rating the coming season will be as as, if not higher kor those paid for e contract a year ago. It is even probable that 29,000,000 bushels of wheat this year be worth as inuch as the 87,000,@00 last year, not- withstanding the difference in the Nosed ity.
