Expansion of Wheat Land in Western Canada This Season
Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports about 1,190,000 more acres ready for seeding than last year. Increased breakings in Manitoba and Alberta suggest prairie crop area will grow in 1929. From early records, wheat land expanded dramatically from 1891 to 1928 with improvements in seed varieties and farming machinery. The frost in August affected quality of the 1928 crop and weed control is urged.
