Regina Sask November 23 1907 Commissioner of Immigration Winnipeg Sir I reply with pleasure to your request. I and my son own a half section near Rouleau and Drinkwater by Moose Jaw creek. We planted 70 acres wheat 20 bushels per acre, 30 acres fallow 25 bushels per acre. We harvested No 1 wheat this year keeping seed and selling some as first class seed. We threshed 9000 bushels of oats from 160 acres 80 acres fall plowing yielded 90 bushels per acre 10 acres stubble 30 bushels per acre. These oats are the best. We shipped three loads at 63 cents per bushel clear. All grain harvested last week August before frost. Despite late spring and adverse weather we expect to make more money this year than last. Western Canada crops cannot be checked by unusual conditions. Yours truly A Kaltenbrannes
