Farm Buildings Similar to these May be Found in all Parts of Alberta ALBERTA 100,000,000 ACRES OF ARABLE LAND AVERAGE WHEAT BUSHELS —OATS A Vast Plateau 2,000 to 3,000 Feet Above Sea Level. BARLEY THERE probably never was in the history of any country covering such a large area, with an acreageof less than 4 million acres, such an abundant yield recorded. Below are given reports from a numberof districts of the province from two to three hundred miles apart, showing phenomenal yields of wheatupwards of 70 bushels per acre. Of course there have been smaller yields than those reported, but when thegeneral average of bushels of wheat per acre is considered, it is quite evident that the small yield hasbeen the exception rather than the rule. It is not in wheat alone that these immense yields have been given,but oats have gone 130 bushels to the acre. Hardly a district shows a wheat average of under 30 bushels. It must be apparent, that if one farmer in a locality can get 50 bushelsan acre of wheat, other farmers with the same soil, climate and conditions,should be able to get the same yields if they are equally good the long run it comes down pr
