In a year that bas been outstanding from an agricultural point of view, in that the Dominion with a smaller sown acreage than that of the previous year has produced a uniformly greater orop than even the record 03 1022, the moat signal and- noteworthy feature would semi to be the phenomenal grain pro- duction of the Province of Alberta. This province, which stakes ite hopes of prosperity. rather in-diveeeifled farming than In grain growing, has achieved feats In grain-. production that will doubtless be set down for all tine in the ooreal production his- tory of the 'American cantinent, Tho wheat yield of this province is estimated to be 167,467,000 bushels by. the Dominion Government as against 64,973,000 'bpshels. last year; though local authorities are inclined to place It even higher, This would give the province for the 00118011 011 average production of 26.50 bneheis to tIle acre as agalust 11,23 laet year. The Gov: ernment estimate of the production of oats is. 90,005,000 bushels as against 65,519,000 in 1622, an average for the present year, of 48.75 bushels tcrthe acre. The barley yield ie estimated to be 13,423,000 bushels as against 6,- 238,000 busliels, an average this year of 35 bushels to -the more. Since the publication of the Govern- ment's figure, estimates of Alberta's wheat crop have taken a jump,, as threshing returns continued to pour in, George Lane, one of the most exten- sive fermare'Melte province, who gave a preliminary estimate) of 160,000,000 bushels, has naw increased his figures to 200,000,000. John L McFarland,' president and general manager of the Alberta Pacific Grate Company, esti- mates, the total at between 175,000,000 acid 200,000,000 bushels. Both h Mr. Lane and Mr. McFarland figure teat the average wheat yield will 'be et least 86 hushele to the acre as against the 'previous beet average of 91.30 be,eh,ele'in 1915, which set a world's mooed which has endured to this year, The Alberta' Government else au- tounoos. that its early esl•tmates were to oonservativo, It is' particularly certain that coarse grains will also set new -world iIgures.

There is no doubt, that this year, in all respects, Alberta has achieved not only te record yield for the province, but a remarkable one in agricultnrel of nils, this not alone fu the aggregate crop, but in the acreage average and general uniformity.
