Manitoba prospectus touts rich wheat lands and cheap farms
A North Manitoba prospectus highlights abundant wheat lands from Sidney to Beaver, with rail lines, flour mills, brick yards, and public schools. It argues farms sell for 800 to 2500 dollars per 160 acres, rail rates are low, and central Manitoba offers favorable climate, soils, water, and strong growth potential for settlers moving west. It urges buyers to compare transport costs and land prices with the United States and western Canada.

High Moisture Grain Given Top Priority
The Canadian Wheat Board announced priorities for delivering high moisture grain to terminal elevators for winter drying. Western Canadian producers with wheat, oats, barley or rye at 15.7 percent moisture or higher may deliver up to four bushels per acre beyond existing quotas, not exceeding eight bushels per acre in total. Railways were instructed to move such grain on a priority basis to prevent loss, utilizing storage and drying facilities at terminals during winter.
