Wheat money available for farmers
An Ottawa despatch reports farmers will receive fifty percent of excess due on Canada Wheat Board certificates after July 1. The excess on the original wheat price is set to be at least forty cents a bushel. Sir George Foster said the Wheat Board would pay fifty percent of the amount due farmers from profits on or after July 15, with further payments when last season's crop is fully marketed and by year end. War developments near Duck Lake concluded with fighting and rebel casualties as Major Crozier's forces were driven back.
