At the opc-i-'r.g of the pre- sent cen'vury the e;:c. 'Hence of Can- adian hard wheat bet :i;ne recognized, but occupied a compa'ativeiy incon- spicuous position in the whaat mar- kets of the world. Within the past tweiay-tive yearsâ€" bai_a day in ths life of a nation<â€" that position has been entirely reverse*!, and Canada has advanced from ninth to second place as a grower of wheai, and from fifth to ftr.st place as a;i exporter of this cereal. The rapid iiiciensu in Canadian acreage devoted to whejit is sJnown by the following figures: In 1900 in all Canada there was but 4,224,54'2 plant- ed to wheat; in 1910 this area had increased to 8,863,151 acres; in 1!)20 to 18,232,374 acres; and in 1924 tc 22,066,710 acres. The production of wheat in 1901 aniounlod to 55,572,368 ; bu.shels, in 1910 to l;i2,048,782 buah- sls, in 1920 to 2<)3,1 89.300 bushels and in 1923 to 474,199,000 bushels. I Canada's influence o;: the world's wtieat markets is ilhistrated by the enormous growth of t-xports. From the small amount of tl â- i7l,fl.'{9 Imshels ia 1901 they took what was at that time a big jump to 18.o88,0i»2 bushels in 1902, and 24,566.708 Wshels ii\ 1903. In 1910 4<),581).228 bushels of wheat was poured into the world mar- ket, in 1915 exports were 140,306,613 busliels and in 1924, 214,630,825 bushels. Canada has a wonderful opportun- ity, not only in the productiveness of her whaat fields and in the quality of the wheat that her soil and climate produtes, but in tlie fact that the wheat industry of Russia, whicii was a chief competitor, has not recovered its pre-war status. Canadian whoat is much in demand bo'.h in Great Bri- tain and on tlie Continent and can be produced at a comparatively low cost, in competition with .\merican grown wheat. The farm cost of producing wheat in Western Canada in 1923, aa esti- mated by the United States' Tariff Commission, was 82 cents a bushel, including a land charge, tigured as interest on stated land values. These figures were opposed to a cost of $1.47 t)er bushel, the estimated cost of pro- ducing similar wiieat in Minne«iota, Montana and Dakotas. made by the same authority.
