These reports Shaw that fully 95 per cent of the wheat has been seeded la the three provinces and while tha heavy Rains have curtailed the acreage in some sections in others the enormous areas of new breaking have increased the acreage from 20 to 25-per cent.

All sports Point to a heavy increase in ats and Barley and an enormous in crease in flax running As 300 Par cent at Points. Inasmuch As none of the coarse grains or flax Are Learly Complete As to seeding no at empt will be made to estimate the acreages until a later report. The report in the whole is a very satisfactory Cne and shows less delay of seeding and growth than Tho or of the past two weeks had Lead the Public to expect. Warm weather and plenty of Sunshine seem to be the two requisites at the present time and the season is still Early enough for All ,d3 inns to be overtaken. It is to be hoped that in the matter of that seeding every Farmer trill Bear in mind the statement made by the her. W. A. Motherwell at the t. Seager Wheeler Laist november in Rosthern. Intr. Motherwell pointed out that or. Wheeler s Success had come largely from doing things in the pro per Way and at the proper time and concluded any in the Canadian West who seeds wheat after the Flktti Teeth of May deserves All he gees and he is Likely to get All to deserves Corning from a Man with the farm ing a up science in Northern Saskatchewan possessed by tha minister of agriculture these to consult his counsel. Says memory is getting bad As result of conflicting stories. Good crop this year is most favourable As some of the Farmers had seed in the ground a Moath ago. Little new breaking has been done but some coarse grains been put in. There will be an increase in both Barley and flax in the Portage District. Macgregor seeding is about finished Lor this season. Fully 85 per cent is in the ground and some Fields Are 2 inches above ground. On account of. The recent Rains the percen Tage will not be As Large As last year about j 0 per cent will be new ground. A very Small percentage of coarse grains Are planted so far but another week of the present favourable weather will see a great bulk of that work done Al though More coarse grains will be grown this season than usual. Very Little flax is grown uie Aore Agu is increasing every year. Carberry is All seeded in this District. Acreage is about the same As last year. There will be 10 per cent increase in acreage of flax and coarse grains. No flax is sown yet. About 25 per cent of Oats and Barle seeded. There will be a slight increase in acreage of flax which altogether will not i Creed 10 per cent of the entire crop. There is very Little new breaking in this District. The conditions and Outlook Are decidedly favourable. Brandon seeding is completed in this District. About the Saine Quantity sown As last year. There is about 5 per cent new break ing. About 75 per cent grains have been seeded very Little flax sown Here look is very Favorale. American Crews i i no longer bring trains into Manitoba P. R. Main line. Portage la Prairie per cent of wheat has been put ground in this District but there practically no increase in acreage Over last year. This is due to the bad of coarse there is the out Virden seeding is practically finished the Early sown is Well through the ground and Many Fields quite Green. The Blade looks strong1 and healthy the frosts of the last few nights did not leave any effect. Oat seeding is Well advanced and Barley seeding will begin the lat Ter end of the week. Owing to the Rains seeding was retarded but save a Chance Tor considerable Spring plow Ine which will make up Lor Lack of blowing last fall. About the usual acreage of wheat is planted but owing to the increased breaking last year an increased acreage of coarse grains will be sown and from 1 5 to 20 pea cent More Pax. A Large amount Toronto May k. Travers objected to answering several questions asked by Crow i counsel f. E. Hodgee k. C., at the Farmers Bank commis Sion today.

He denied that it was Given to Hon. Or. Fielding or to any Mem Ber of the finance department at Ottawa. Sir William Meredith the com missioner finally decided to leave the matter Over until the a Cox session and advised travers to think seriously Over flu Uati to answer All questions asked , As his indefinite answer cast a doubt upon the finance department. Regarding the subscriptions on the provincial list submitted to or. Field ing Whitti were false travers said that they were finally struck off the list when it was found impossible to Calleo Thorn. There was no previous arrangement by which the names were to stand unit the certificates were is several times through put the Day said his memory concerning Many of the things asked was be ginning to grow poor because of the Many different versions of some the transactions which bad been Given in evidence. He was anxious not to put lil self in a bad Light and at the close i the afternoon session asked Permis Sion to read a letter from the general manager o the merchants Bank writ ten at the time of his retirement from that institution. Insinuating statements As to the reason for his retirement had been made reflecting on his per Sonal character and he wanted to set himself right. The letter was one of regret at travers1 retirement and contained Good wishes for a speedy re covery from his poor health. It stated that a year s salary was to be Given and that a debt to the Bank would is written off. The investigation was adjourned until next tuesday.
