There is a very Large amount of splendid wheat n Saskatchewan and Alberta but Over some districts in both the latter pro Vinces there is some poor crops where t is worst the acreage is Small but enough to make a material reduction n the average of the whole in the Case of Saskatchewan and to a lesser extent in Alberta. It would seem however that the increase in acreage n All three provinces would pretty Well take care of the reduction in a rage yield. The crops Are ripening fast and More moderate tempera ures with occasional showers Are re lured to bring about the Best re sults. The increase in the oat and Barley acreage should give us some increase in these grains. Taking the present possible crop and the Outlook for prices it is Likely that the net Cash return for All grains will be Well up to last year and of West consider the additional returns As a result of the decided increase in mixed farming i quite believe the showing of the three Western provinces will he better than that of year.
