Edmonton, Alta., Aug. 27. -- Mr. Matthew Snow, Assistant Warehouse Commissioner of Winnipeg, is in the `city to-day on a tour of inspection of the crops in Manitoba, 'Saskatc_he~ wan and Alberta. Leaving Winni- peg, Mr. Snow journeyed through the Souris country, through Estevan, to Moose Jaw. - Doubling back, he visited Regina, Indian Head and the Qu Appelle districts`. In the Pro- vince of Saskatchewan, he states, there is a splendid crop, but it is late and green-._ In` southern Manitoba the wheat will be half a crop, while in the northern part of the same Pro- vinceiit is similar to Saskatchewan. ;Cutting will not be general for a i week or ten days yet on these areas. ,=Hc states that ,so far as his observa- tions are concerned, the low temper- ature of several nights ago have done no damage `except to tender garden. `plants and potatoes.

AUG. 29, 1907 % _-., v--~--- In view of the usual increase in the consumption of beef during Ex-. hibition weeks, the run this morning was disappointingly small, and had it not been for the heavy supply at the Junction market yesterday, prices would probably have shown an ad- vance. Traders were expecting next ` Thursday`s run to maks up the short- age, and were therefore content to buy lightly to avoid forcing prices up against each other, The -light run was perhaps a rather good thing for the market, in that it resulted in a good many inferior cattle being cleaned up that might otherwise have been left awaiting a buyer. -U-` ` g g[ `em with V _---- _-_ .. w~--__ The recent light rains have helped pastures to some extent, but not Ven- .ough to bring any noticeable im- provement in the quality` of offerings.

Thei'area"iu'se`d foi""sowihg wheat and other autumn crops was some-' What: greater throughout Ontario in the fall of 1906 than in that of 1905. At the Agricultural College this" year winter wheat and winter rye have pro- duced large yields of "grain which is above the average in quality, but the winter barley and the hairy vetches have given results somewhat lower than those of 1906. - -_ `._'Wf(3Zfet1Ve1:a:llyfepeaki'ng, white wheats, `as compared with red wheats, yield more grain per acre, possess stronger strg1w,weigh a little less per measured bushel, are slightly softer in. the grain, produce a more popular pas- try our, and furnish a somewhat weaker our f-or, br ead production. an I ' ' '"* " I . ' , _ Of the white wheats, Daw-,son s Golden`-Cha and other very similar Evarieties, `such as Abundance, Am- lerican Banner, Beardless Rural New 5Yorker_ No. 6, American Wonder, `Superlative, Forty-fold, Prize Taker and Extra Early Windsor,`and of the red wheats, Imperial Amber, Para- mount and Crimean Red, have pro- duced the highest yields of grain per acre in the College experiments. In the following _characteristics the var-. ieties mentioned below are very pro- minent:--Stiffness of straw, Dawson s Golden Cha , Prosperity, Economy, and Early Ontario; hardness of grain, Buda Pesth, No. 5 Red, Crimean Red," 'Banatka, Tasmania Red and Geneva; weight of grain, Northwester, `Au- burn and Geneva; and milling quality of grain, Tasmania` Red, Rudy, Oni- gara, Crimean Red, Yaroslaf, Turkey Red, Early Genesee Giant, Banatka, Northwester, Geneva and Imperial Amber. We are endeavoring to. improve` some of the best varieties of winter wheat by means of systematic selec- tion and by cross-fertilization. Each of eight different selected strains of Dawson s Golden Chaff wheat gave a| yield of over 70 bushels of grain per| acre in 1907. Some of the most pro-u mising hybrids, which are constant in type thisiyear, are those produced by crossing the Dawson s Golden Chat? with the Bulgarian and with the Turkey Red. The object in crossing is to originate new kinds which will combine the good qualities and elim- inate the undesirable features of the parent varieties. The results of many.tests conduct- ed at the College indicate the im- portance of sowing with a grain jdrill, large, plump, sound, wel1-ma- tured seed wheat at therate of: about a bushel and a half per acres on well prepared clover sod, and earlier if nossible than the 10th of September. Smutted wheat should be immersed for twenty minutes in a solution of one pint of formalin and forty-two gallons of water. rt! . . .0 IV (I P `sunt- The recent tests at the College of other classes of autumn sown crops show the following varieties to" be -the heaviest average yielders of grain Ioer acre:-Mammoth White'Winter Rye, 62 bushels; Tennessee Winter Barley, 53.4 bushels; Hairy Vetches, 57 bushels; and Black Winter Em- mer. A Calgary despatch to the Toronto Globe says:---Provincial Live Stock `Inspector Creswell is enthusiastic over the appearance of the beef cattle which will be put on the market this fall. He has been through all parts of Alberta several times this summer and is now going on another round. Last fallthe ranges were_ swept clean of everything that would come near .designation of beef and there `was a banner shipment, about 75,000 cat- tle being exported. Owing partly to this fact and partly to the loss ex- perienced last winter on the open ranges, the shipment this year will not be. nearly so heavy` as last, but Vvthecondition of the cattle will be far superior, although `last year's -grade of cattle was_a high-class one.` ' 1 1 can In the co-operative experiments, conducted throughout Ontario in 1907, under the direction of the Ex- jperimental Union, the average yields of grain per acre were as follows:-- Winter Wheat.
