Wheat topped two million bushels, oats over one million, barley nearly 400 000, flax 26 000, and 66 000 tons of alfalfa harvested. A Brooks farmer achieved a 9000 dollar harvest of alfalfa seed with an 14 bushels per acre yield. The CPR area east of Calgary holds ~623 600 irrigable acres. Lethbridge ~110 000 acres.
