Overseas shipments were hamp- ered by shortage of shipping space 1n b0“! the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Many Canadian ships had been taken over by the British ad- miralty to transport troops.

The call for food supplies for the allied armies hud resulted in a 25- per-cent increase in sown acreage in Western Canada in 1915 com- pared with the previous year when 168.000.0131) bushels of wheat, were grown. July estimates placed the new yield at. 2501100000 bushels and there was storage space in 3811114111 for only 168,000,000 bushels

A quarter of a century ago, how- CV81‘. modern machinery did not rush harvesting Operations as it does today. Railways and elevator-s were not asked to handle millions of bushels of grain within a my weeks.

Old Time Harvesting

Instead of shiny tractor-pulled combines which cut and thresh the grain in a single operation with a crew of four or five men, scores oi‘ harvesters were required for n single threshing outfit.

Binders pulled by horses cut the golden stands of grain. The bind. ers were followed by stuuk teams

which bundled the groin in pre- llaration for the steam-driven threshin machines. Today stream-

line truc s nnul the thrcshed grain swiftly to country loading points and farm bills: 25 years ago “min bin pulled grain-filled wagons to market-a much slower operation. dividual h- vesting outfits is far removed from the hilarious. bois- terous gangs which ivnndered up and down the countryside in 1915 “Ccflmhnnied by cook cars. bunk. houses and crew outfits.

western TFIYIHPFS who delivered wheat to elevators at. the and or July. 1915. received $1.27 f1 bushel, less freight rates to the lakchead. for No. l Northern. At the time. October wheat was quoted at $1.29 1-4 on the Winnipeg Exchange and ,December at $1.04 l-4.

W 1w government control measure were in effect a year after the outbreak of the First Great War. shortly after, on Nov. 29. Ottawa commandeered all No, 1, 2 and 3 Northern wheat in store at the hcad of the lakes and in Eastern Canada. The move was made as the result of a deal for Canadian wheat between tho Bi-l- tish and Dominion governments.

Owners of the ivhcat taken over were given the prevailing cash price on the Winnipeg markct_ $1.04 3-4 for No. i Northern, $1,015 l-B for No. 2 and 99 3-4 cents for No_ 3.
