This probably as much as anything else will give some idea of the state of mind of the Western Canada fann er, as he wntohos the tally from the thrashing machine while his wheat la being carried to the elevator. Krom ufl sections of the country, the most optimistic reports are re ceived, the local and city papers are filled with reports from twenty to thir ty bushels of wheat to the acre, while In some places oats are showing a rec ord of as high as 120 bushels to the ncre. Ilef erring to Saskatchewan, it Is con fidently expected that the wheat yield will be nearly 12H million bushel. Heavy rains which fell in districts that did not promise so well In July, had greatly Improved the prospects there, and there Is no question that puylng yields will be produced. The yields In the eastern part of the province mny not show to the advantage that will those of the western part, but too much cannot be said of this, for It Is the re nits a they come from th mnehlne. and often these prove hnpplly deceptive. There is now every reason to believe thnt the wheat crop of the three prai rie provinces will approach 250 mil lion bushels. Alberta will exceed the 70 million bushels thnt had been looked for. The average yield will be considerably higher than it has been In the province In any of the last four years. The Department of Agriculture in a recent report gave the opinion thnt It cannot fall below twenty-two bushel to the acre, and that it might easily pass the twenty-five bushel mark, Most of the wheat in the province when the report was written, stood well up to three feet high, and on BOie fields was still higher. The re port goes on that in pnrts of South ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to the acre yields will not be uncommon, while there will be a good many yields of from thirty to thirty-five bushels to tho acre. In the northwest part of the prov ince. In the country surrounding Bat tleford and adjacent to the Canadian Natlonnl Hallway line to Lloydmlnster, and south the crops are excellent and the yield will be heavy. A larger than average wheat crop Is being thrashed In Mnnitobn. It hns been estimated that the total yield of the three provinces will not be less than 225.000,000 bushels, and It may be that somewhere between 250,000, 000 and IIOO.OOO.OOO bushels will be the final figure. Oats is a good crop In all thre provinces. This crop has also grown rapidly during the last two or three weeks. Excepting from those fields which were sown late for green feed, the yield will be heavy and the grain excellent. Barley and rye are above the average. There was sufficient help to harvest the crop.
