The 1915 Yield of Grain Keeps
Western Canada to the Front.
The great publicity that hns been
Given to tho grain ylulds of Hib Prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan nnJ
Albortn, the throe provliicos that com
prise that portion of Western Canada
cast of thn Uritlsh Columbia boundary,
lias kr.pt Canada to tho front with a
prominonco that Is merited.
' The grain crop of tho three- prov
inces has now been harvested, and suf
llcient of it lias boon threshed so that
it is no longer a matter of estimate as
to tho returns. It Is safe to say tha
the entire yiold of wheat will bo up
wards of 270,000,000 bushels, anil tho
average yield well over 2G bushels per
aero. In proportion to tho aggregate
this is perhaps tho largest yield over
known on tho continent.
Most of this wheat will grade No. 1
northern, and hotter, and with pres
ent prices tho condition of tho farm
er is to he envied. Many Individual
yields arc reported, and verified, ami
thoy aro almost beyond belief, but
they go to show that under tho enre
ful system of agriculture that pro
duccd these yields Western Canada
would havo far exceeded a 200.000.000
production of wheat in 1015 had the
system been universal.
A It was not in ono or two districts
that big yields havo been made known
Tho reports come from all parts oi
the 24.000 square miles of territory in
which the growing of wheat is car
ried on.
Mr. Elmir Sellor, a farmer south of
Strassburg, Saslc, lias harvested &,4l5
bushels No. 1 hard wheat from U!0
acres.
las. A. Henner, near Daysland, Al
berta, says hi3 wheat wont over 40
p bushels to tho acre, with an all round
crop of 3.1 bushels to tho acre.
J. N. Wagner, near the samo place,
also lays claim to over 40 bushels ot
wheat per acre.
A Norwegian farmer, named S. A
Tofthagon, not far from Daysland,
had 23 acres of wheat which gave a
yield of 47 bushels to tho acre.
Well. then, near deletion, Alberta.
D. Hi Englo of Humboldt, Iowa, owns
a quarter section of land. This land
was rented so that Mr. Englo should
receive one-third of the crop, and this
gave him $012 (in, his net rental for
the crop, and thero was only 80 acres
in crop.
Scores of reports give yields fully
as large as those given above. A
largo field of spring wheat near Leth
bridgo averaged GO bushels, another h'i
and a third 50 bushels per acre. On
the Jail farm at Lethbrldgo 25 acres
ot Marquis wheat yielded GO bushels to
tho acre and weighed 07 pounds to tho
bushel. A test lot of ono acre of Mar
quis wheat when threshed yielded 0'J
bushels and a SO aero field averaged
GO 1-3 bushels. This farm had 200
. acres under crop to Marquis wheat
r and it is cpectcd the average from
the wholo will exceed 50 bushels.
In all portions of Saskatchewan and
Manitoba, as well, remarkable yields
are reported, many largo floHs show
ing averages of from 40 to 55 bushels
per agre.
When tho story of this year's thresh
ing is completed some extraordinary
yields will bo heard of. Ono farmer
west of Unity, Saskatchewan threshed
10,000 bushels of No. 1 northern from
200 acres and such instances will not
be isolated.
Considerable of the wheat grown in
Western Canada is finding its way to

States finds Western Canadian wheat
necessary for tho blending of tho high
class flour that is demanded by some
millers. Already near a hundred
thousand bushels of the 1915 crop has
found Its way to the Minneapolis, Du
luth, St Louis and other markets.
It was not in wheat alono that there
were extraordinary yields. A farmer
living south of Wadena, Sask., liar
vested 900 bushels of oats from ten
acres. S. A. Tofthagen of Daysland
botorc referred to had oats which
yielded 110 bushels to the acrb, while
those of J. N. Wagner went 90 bush
els to tho acre.
. As Is pointed out by a Toronto pa-
jf per Canada's great good fortune and
splendid service as the Grannry or tho
Empire aro revealed in the record
harvest from her rich fields of wheat
and other grains. "The roundation of
its prosperity Is solid and enduring.
While mints mny be exhausted nid
lumber may disappear through iiu
provident management, agriculture is
n perpetual source or wealth, increas
ing rriim year to year by the stimulus
or individual industry and personal in
terest. A wheat harvest ot .".36,250.000
bushels from 13,000,000 acres, an av
erage yield of 2G bushels to the aero
The substantial nature of this growth
In production is shown by the fact
that the harvest returns aro 72 per
rent greater than tho average tor the
past flvo yeais.
The same satisractory and highly
important success has been attained
in other grain crops. The aggregate
yield of oats is 481,035,500 bushels
from tho 11,305,000 acres under crop.
Of this yield 305,G-0,000 bushels are
from the three Pralrlo Provinces.
These provinces also contribute 30J,
200.000 bushels of wheat. The bar
ley harvest Is 50.SGS.000 bushels from
1,509,350 acres, an average yield ot
33.7 bushels per aero."

Tho wealthier farmers arc building

there is a great improvement in the

greatest interest wns shown by those
who attended the Soil Products Ex-

ago, when it was demonstrated that it
was not only in quantity that Western
Canada still occupiod the primary po
sition. It was thoro that Western
Cannila again proved its supremacy.
In wheat, it was early conceded that
Canada would be u winner, atul this
was easily the case, not only did it win
tho big prize, but it carried off tho
sweepstakes. What, however, to those
who wero ropiesonting Canada at this
