Foreign News: Canada’s Wheat

It was estimated that Canada’s wheat crop will reach 500,000,000 bushels, and of that total at least 350,000,000 bushels will be for export. This places Canada first in the world’s list of wheat exporters, the U. S. coming next with an estimated export total of 290,000,000 bushels.

The movement of wheat to the East began a little later this year than usual. At Winnipeg an average of 2,000 carloads of wheat were inspected every day. A record was made when a train, over a mile in length, groaned under the burden of 185,000 bushels. Some 8,000,000 bushels were shipped from Port Arthur and Fort William in four days. Most of the wheat is sent to Britain.
