wheat. Nature is not always prodigal of her treasures, and although the yield per 

 acre for the 1915 crop was at the record figure of nearly 29 bushels per acre, the average 

 yield for the preceding five years 1910-14 was only 18.55. Assuming an acreage equal 

 to that of the past year and with a good fair yield of 20 bushels per acre, there would 

 be harvested a crop of 260,000,000 bushels or over 100,000,000 bushels less than 

 that of last year with which to face a demand which, from all present appearances, 

 will exceed anything that we have seen in this war. 



The price of meat products is also well sustained, and the cultivation of the coarser 

 grains and fodders required will ensure good profits to the live stock farmer. Economic 

 interests unite, therefore, with patriotic duty in stimulating the agriculturists of Canada 

 to extraordinary productive efforts during the forthcoming season.
