WHERE GRAIN GROWS.
Monitobu's magnificent 'Top of 1S03
demonstrates the wonderful fertility
and productiveness of the soil of that
western Canadian province. The yield
of wheat on 1,145,270 acres was about
85,000,000 bushels; of oats, nearly HO,
000,000 bushels on -1S'J,57S acres; of bar
ley, 0,000,000 on 15:1,830 acres, and
there were besides 1,250,000 bush
els of flax, 05,000 bushels of ryo
and 25,000 bushels of peas. This is
an average of over 30 bushels of wheat
to the acre, of 00 bushels of oats, and o
.'10 bushels of barley; and this immense
crop was safely harvested by 25,000
fanners, many of whom settled in Man
itoba within the past ten years with
very little capital except industry and
energy, and some with little or no ex
perience whatever in funning. In the
aggregate these 25,000 fanners have,
ii vera (fed 2,880 bushels of grain of all
kinds; and besides this have produced
magnificent crops of roots, potatoes,
cabbages, onions and garden vegetables
of all kinds. They have shipped to
eastern markets, in addition, thousands
of head of sleek cattle and large num
bers of sheep. And till this 1ms been ac
complished without the expenditure of
one dollar for artificial fertilizers, and
with a verv small outlay for w aires.
lleyotid this Province tire fertile lands
and a ranching country stretching
miles to tlie foothills of the Rocky
Mountains. These are divided into tho
districts of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. The eastern part of tho
former is also admirably adapted for
wheat raising- and mixed farming, and
the western part of the district and
the southern half of Alberta combine
to furnish the great cattle ranches of
the Northwest, there being countless
acres of prairie land on which to grow
the most nutritious grasses on the con
tinent. Northern Alberta, to which
have Hocked in recent years thousands
of settlers from Nebraska, Kansas,
Washington and other states, is the
7oor man's paradise, and although it
lias only the advantag-es of railway
communication since 1S01, is rapidly
filling up. There is practically no tax
ation in these districts, except for ed
ucational purposes, and each one pos
tcsse every requisite in climate, soil,.
1 nl. water, etc. that the most favored
old settled countries enjoy. No coun
try is more prosperous than this Cana
dian Northwest, and to none will there
he a larger immigration, as its wonder
ful productiveness becomes known.
