Of this, 18,462,444 acres were sown to spring wheat, the yield from this being 181,- 228,000 bushels, the fall wheat yieldâ€" ing 16,133,000. The estimates show that the total 1919' crop is 7,000,000 bushels in excess of that for the year 1918. In point of both yield and value, Saskatchewan leads among the prov- inces. Of the total product it is credited with 97,933,000 bushels, or slightly over 50 per cent. This should be worth about $200,000,000, or at least one-half of the entire value of the vflieat crop of the whole Domin- ion. Manitoba comes second with 43,- 206,000 bushels, all of this with the exception of 93,000 bushels being spring wheat. The value is approxi- mately $90,000,000.

The value stands at about $53,000,000. The area sown was 400,000 acres in excess of that ,of 1918, and the average yield 6.25 bushels per acre. ' British Columbia‘s crop was 1.431,- 000 bushels. Ontario’s wheat crop is worth about $47,000,000, the yield being 20,- 892,000 bushels. The fall crop was especially heavy, amounting to 15,- 023,000 bushels. Spring wheat aver- aged 16.50 bushels per acre, and fall wheat 24.25. All of Quebec's wheat was of the spring variety, and amounted to 4,- 394,000 bushels, at a value of $8,800,- 000. The yield was about 2,000,000 below that of 1918, due to a much re- duced acreage. The maritime provinces produced 2,284,000 bushels of wheat, of which about 900,000 are credited to Prince Edward Island. In point of importance in produc- tion, the provinces rank this year as follows:--Saskatchewan, Manitoba, AJ- berta, Ontario, Quebec, British Col- umbia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. One of the most notable developâ€" ments of the last 50 years in the life of the Dominion has been the shift- ing of the grain-growing centre from the eastern to the prairie provinces.
