A despatTelh; fUreS.141:4e
rTtilo'nto says:—
Twelve thousand farm laborers will
be required fro= Ithestern Canada to
harvest the enormous wheat (iron
which 11 is expeeted Manitoba and
the Northwest will yield this year.
This number is approximatelY• What
11 te thought will have to be sup-
plied from outside sources if the
great crop Is to be safely harvested,
and while onleial 11511105 have net
yet come forward from the Manitoba
Gavernment it is likely that the fig-
ures gfven will be found practically
correct.
It must be it record crop to require
this number of outside harvestere.
The largest number ever sent out be.
fore was to thousand, tevo years
ago, Lest year, owing to the failure
oi the crops in Manitoba farm hands
'froze. Ontario were not needed, and
the railwaye did not run their usual
farm laborers', exeursiens. leIr. W.
Scott, a representative of the Mani-
toba Government, hoe been in To-
ronto .inquiring into the prospects
for securing men from this Province,
and stating that 12,000 hands woald
be needed. Ontario is relied upon
to supply the majority of the farm
laborers required, but Quebec and
the Marithrie Provinces will also be
drawn upon to as large an extent
as possible, It seems to be a ques-
tion, indeed, as to whether enough
mon can be secured. .
The Canadian Pacific Railway is
fully alive to the necessity of ob-
taining enough men to harvest the
crop, and this year will run the farm
laborers' excursions a little earlier
in, the season than usual. While the
arrangements are not -yet completed,
it is expected that three excursions
will be run from Ontario between
August 5th and 704. The rate go-
ing will be 510 from all points in
Ontario, with $1.8 the single return
faro.
The Manitoba Government is at
present receiving reports from all
points in the wheat growing terri-
tory as to the exact number of men
that w111 be needed, and that infor-
mation will be issued shortly. Mr.
James Hartney, Emigration Agent
for the Manitoba Government in To-
ronto, is out in the Province arrang-
ing for excursions. Be is at present
operating aromid Arnprior, Packen-
ham and Calibogie, on the Canada
Atlantic line. These are lumbering
districts, but if work is scarce there
men might be secured for Manitoba
who otherwise would not think- of
going out. Western Ontario always
sends a large number of farm. hands
to the west when they are required
there, and with the high wages that
garded as likely to be a very large
