Also this fact ofa greater butter output indicates that the farmers are going. end of September, is ready for harvest from the 1st to the 15th of AugustIn the following year. Climate and soil make this an ideal wheat-growingdistrict. Considerable spring wheat is grown, as well as oats, barley and production of sugar-beets compares favourably with that of Germany andthe world. Water for domestic and farm purposes is easily obtained at reasonabledepth. In certain sections of the Canadian West, as in the American West,the soil is unexcelled for growing cereals, but the geographical location andrelative position to the rain avenues is not advantageous, not only the requisiteamount of rain but its conservation is essential to the growing of crops, andthat is the meaning of dry farming. This is being successfully followedIn the southern portion of Southern Alberta. Some of the district can alsobe easily and successfully farmed by meansof irrigation. EDUCATION The organization
