THE WINGIUM AT VANGB, THITitSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1909.
King Edward's Ninetll Year.
On August 9th, King Edward 7th
entered, the nineth year of his reign,
and a somewhat noted seer has pro-
phesied limb it is going to be a frost
auspicious one for the moz arch, The
prophet figures that it will be the
King's most fortunate year, as nine is
his lucky number, for both his parents
were born in 1819, he was born on the
ninth in November, and his marriage
took place in the year '63, which num-
bers added one to the other makes
nine ; his reign commenced in 1901, he
was to have been crowned on the 27th
which figures added together makes
nice ; and he was actually crowned on
August Oth.
A horoscope cast for the King
shows that having been born under
the constellation of Scorpio, his life
accordingly is governed }.iy Mars, his
lucky stone is the topaz and his most
fortunate day is Tuesday, which will
be the first full day of the lucky ninth
yearof his reign as King of the British
Empire.
The' World's Wheat.
Canada Is The Great Producer.
(Guelph Herald).
Those who are studying the hien--
tent question of the world's wheat
Supply are becoming more than ever
convinced that it is to Canada the,
world must look to supply the natural
increased consumption which is al-
ways going on. In Canada atone,
within the Empire; has any steady ex-
pansion of wheat sa,creage recently
taken place. Last year, well on to
7,000,000 acres were put to wheat -
growing throughout the Dominion—
more than double the 1901 area. This
year would have shown a marked in-
crease had it not been that many
stretches of winter -killed fall wheat in
Alberta were re -sown with coarse
grains.
In 1901 Canada grew scarcely more
than one-fifth as much wheat as In-
dia. Taking together the past three
years, Canadian production has been
well on to one-half that of the great
Asiatic possession. In 1901 the Unit-
ed Kingdom, Canada and Australasia
were practically on a par as to quan-
tities of wheat grown. Taking the
average annual production for the
past three years, Canada scores an
advance of 61,000,000 bushels over the
1901 showing, as ,against increases of
less than 18,000,000 by Australia and
only 3,000,000 -by the United Kingdom.
Canada's present wheat yield is
more than what it was at the begin-
ning of the twentieth`' century. But
this affords no adequate index to de-
velopments of the near future. Tak-
ing the West alone, its wheat yield of
23,500,000 bushels in 1901 should cer-
tainly be more than quadrupled this
year. Of late years the East's declen-
sion in wheat raising (owing to wise
activity in dairying and mixed farm-
ing) has served to check the rate of
growth for the Dominion as a whole:
From now on, however, the West's
contributions of wheat will so out-
weigh those of the East, that the
country's rate of increase during the
next few years is likely to correspond,
closely to that of the West. And a
crop of 400,000,000 million bushels ten
or. twelve years hence • seems by no
means impossible of achievement. As
yet the Empire fails by one-half from
supplying the Unified Kingdom with
her wheat, Still, assuming that an-
nual consumption by the United King-
dom will have reached 300,000,000 by
1920, Canada alone might possibly
make up the necessary supply --allow-
ing for increased requirements here.
Of course, "off" years have always to
be reckoned with, but if irrigation and
more intensive agricultural methods
can be made to increase gradually the
output of Australasia and India, the
umpire as a whole should certainly be
able, in the not distant future, to feed
the British Isles, In Canada, too, it
may be hoped •that improved methods
of eultitatien will tend not only to
increase the yield per acre, but to
check the "robbing of the sail" which
is too prevalent a characteristic of
wheat farming in any newly settled
territory.
CoStly Tunnelling.
Spiral tunnels have been completed
on the heavy grade,- of the 0. P. Ia.
In the Rocky mountains, The work
meant the excavation of nearly three-
quarters of a million oi; cubic yards of
rock, the employment of a thousand
men for nearly two years, the making
of seven mites of rock euttings, the
boring of about a anile said a half of
tunnels through • tnbuntains ten thous
sand feet high, and the building of
two bridges over the 1 kktng horse
river, All this has been done to re-
duce the big grads. This will mean
that the biggest obstacle to the runs
Hing of trains over the Ricky Moun-
tains has been rernovecl, and that in
future on that section of the line two
engines will be able to do much more
work than four engines have hitherto
been able to do. The work has cost
$1,500,000.4 Seventy.11ive carloads 'bf
dynamite were used, the cost being
$250,000.
