CANADA AND THE EMPIRE.

WINNIPEG v. MINNEAPOLIS.

These two circles are
divided off to represent the
pocenioge of the different
grades of wheat given in the
‘otal inspections at Winnipeg
and Minneapolis. The upper
sircle, representing Canadian
wheat, is based on the total
official inspection up to the
1st of December, 1902. The
ower circle, representing the
Minneapolis inspection, was
taken from the opening of the
present grain season until
November 14th,
Each circle is divided and
marked off into segments,
representing the percentages
of the different grades, which
are as follows i=No.
 1 Hard, or Yogly
hard wheat, as it is called in
Minneapolis: Canadian, 50°75
per cent.; American, 1°09 per

No. 2 Northern: Canadian,

All poorer grades: Canadian,
 8'82 per cent, ; American,
39°41 per cent.
Of the best 'grade, hard
wheat, Canadian inspection
shows over fifty times the
relative proportion that the
American inspection does,
and of the JLo grades,
worse than No. 2 Northern,
Minneapolis inspection shows
1early five times the propordion
 of the same grades in
Canadian wheat.
This is a point of much
importance: not only is the
yield per acre much higher
and the price of land much
lower, but the wheat itself
grades tremendously higher.
Over one-half of the Canadian
wheat inspected so far this
season was of the highest
rade.
