Moisture improved by rain and snow, though May and June will need rainfall to sustain growth. acreage in Manitoba and Alberta expected to rise above last year's 17,563,153 acres. Livestock wintered well, fall wheat and rye survived, and seed quality generally good. Saskatchewan shows general seeding with emphasis on high quality seed. farm wages range from forty to fifty dollars monthly. Spring operations began earlier in Alberta with sufficient moisture to promote germination and full wheat seeding in progress.
