FARMERS DO WELL Record Prices Paid Wheat Grow ers of Western Canada. Will Get Above 40 Cents Over the. Fixed Scale SetWorld Looking to the Dominion for Its Grain. It will be of Interest to mnny rend ers to learn that -their former friends In Cnnnda will do so well out of the wheat they grew on western Cnnnda'a prnlries Inst year. There was n fixed price of $2.15 per bushel paid for their wheat last sea son. Not knowing the price nt which It would bo possible to mnrket tho crop, the Canadian grnln board, which or ganization handled the whole of tho crop Inst summer, fixed $2.15 ns n min Imuin price for No. 1 whent, and ar ranged thnt each farmer should bo given certlflcntes for the quantity of whent ho delivered. Tho amount re ceived over nnd above the fixed prlco which was paid to the farmers when, selling their whent was to bo divided pro rata at the end of the season, nnd the holders of these certlflcntes will, therefore, participate in the extra price received nccordlng to the quan tity of wheat sold. Tho Intcst advices nre thnt tho wheat board will pay nt least 40 cent a bushel over the Axed rnte of $2.15 a bushel for their wheat of lost season. This means that about ,M0,000,000 will be distributed among tho farmers ot Alberta, Saskatchewan, nnd Manitoba. This sum represents the difference In the price nt which the wheat crop was. sold nnd the price that wns fixed for last season's crop. Canadian Wheat in Demand. A declaration that Canadian wheat Would In nil probability sell this year at between $3 nnd $5 per bushel, wn mndo recently before n conference of western supporters of tho government by Dr. Robert Mnglll, who was ono of a deputation from the Winnipeg grain exchange. Dr. Mnglll argued In fa vor of open trading from the aspect of world conditions. He stntcd thnt no wheat could be exported from Rus sia owing to Internnl troubles. Houmnnla would have absolutely none to export, India wns prohibiting export, while Australia's acreage would fall from 12,000.000 to 7.000,000. The result would be that Australia would scarcely have enough to feed herself, nnd there would be absolute ly no whent for Europe, except from the Argentine arid North America. Dr. Maglll, according to formnl an nouncement, though It would be Im possible to secure ns good a price for the producer by control us by tht open market. The United States mar ket wns now open, nnd, according to present prospects, there would bo mighty little to spare from that quar ter. The net result would be that Ca nadian wheat would undoubtedly go to a record figure. Advertisement. Sixty-Year Old Apple Tree.
