NK outstandlr.g fact in lonnection witli the wonderful crops th.U have been harvested in Western Canada is that tile prices obtained tor the crops liava in hundreds of cases enahlej farmers to pay the original cost of their land. Many inslaiues ',av« ccme to note of farmers who bought their lands twelve months aso. and with their first crop were enabled lo pay the whole cost of the land and still have sufficient left to carry tiio;n through the year until another crop. Land that was bought for from $!.'> _ te $30 per acre has produced crops ^gt worth from $40 to %'â- >. The prpvail- .^ Inf high price of wheat particularly. and other grains as well, has of lourse been responsible for this to a great extent. When it is known that many farm- ers produced an avenge ot over ."ii) bushels of wheat to the acre it will be easily understood how they made smh vast proflts this year. These hi,?h .iverages were not confined to any one area but were reported from all over Alberta and many parts of Saskatche- wan. The yield of t". S. Noble of an average of ."^4 bushels 23 pounds of wheat to the acre for 1. 000 acres Is doubtless a world's record for a tract that large. Mr. Noble a few <lay» ago purchased another 2,000 acres a few miles west ot the city ot falgary, and contemplates making it the best stock farm in the West. He never does things by halves and when It Is known that he e.xpects to pur- ch«s« as well some of the best breed- ing stock obtainable it will be seen I that the livestock industry of .Mberta will receive no little Impetus from .Mr. Noble's entry into the business. Stories arc common of farmers who kave more than paid the original cost of their land from the proseeds of this year's crop. Many of the aiitomoljlle firms are unable to get sufficient cars to supply the demand, as practically every farmer Is buying at least one ot the smaller cars and many of them are purchasing the larger cars. One firm in Calgary sold $200,000 worth of cars during one month of this year, whiih was a record. Almost every small town now has its garage wheie all re- pairs can be made and new parts bought. This, and the general pros- perity which it Indicates, instigated considerable building activliies, and carpenters and builders hav»> been un- able to keep UD with the amount of work oriiered. A great many new ele. vators are being built iliis year an I this of course has also had its effect on the building traiie. An instance is given of one farmer in the southern portion of Alberta who paid $:!,SUO for his farm last ye.Tr. This year he harvested o.yoo bushels ot wheat alone, and after his crop was taken off he received an offer of $.'i.000 :t)r the farm, which he refused. He .iKso realized over $l.,i0 per bushel for his wheat, or $2,000 more than the to- tal cost ot his farm. Flax has been particularly good, one man In Southern Alberta bavins a yield of 37"^ bushels per acre. This is an exceptional yield, even in .\1- berta, but on the whole with fla.x worth $-'.2J per bushel it can reailily be seen that it is an exceptionally pro- fitable 1 rop . Yields of 50 bushels and over of wheat were frequent, most ot whicli .Ciaiie 1 one northern or two northern, and netted $1.50 or over per bushel, according to how early in the season it was sold. Farmers who held until late in the year have reaped the bcne- !1t in consiiterably higher prices for their uraln than those who sold dur- ing September or October. Last year Western Canada crops were even better. During 1S15 and 19Ii> tha rainfall was considerably heavier than In average years, and this fact has directed attention to thu irrigation districts ot the province where the same results can confidently be expected every year. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company, which has developed about 800.000 acres of irri- gible land in .Mberta, is very optimis- jtlc as to the future ot irrigation farm- j ing In that province. The bank clearings, which are a pretty good business barometer, hava \ Increased In some cities as much as 100 per cent over those for the same period last year, aud aS the western cities and towns show big increases, some of them exceeding all past re- cords. On the whole, the Canadian West is at present experiencing pros- perityâ€" prosperity of the 80114 kind, that has a real foundation, and is not merely the result ot speculation or borrowed capital. It is a prosperity ' of the farmer, the backbone of the country, and when the fanner is pros- ' Iiercus it is merely a matter ot time j until the m«ney reaches all classes la i turn.
