SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.

Regina, Assineboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch OF the Department of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department.
of Agriculture is leading the way in i
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
of opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing system OF
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be availab for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops of wheat running from 40 to IS
bushels to the acre.
+ j. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average of 63 bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
w. r. Motherwell, of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
a so acre field, an average of SO BUSH
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T..
Hutchings threshed 72s bushels Of
wheat from ten-acre plot, an average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels Of
oats from 60 acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabil-
tiles of the western Canadian prairies.

President Equitable Life great returns to
men who have the courage, persever-
ance, tact, hopefulness, up-to-date
methods, and ability requisite to build
up a life insurance clientelage. There
is a considerable number of men in
this country who earn, as life insur-
ance agents, more money every year
than is paid to the president of the
United States. The income of few is
nearly double the presidents salary.
Almost without exception, these men
began with no capital but brains and
energy. Of course, they have eXcep-
tional qualities, the chief of which are
energy, will power and common sense.
Hardly any of them can be said to have
unusually brilliant minds, and very
few Of them are college graduates. But
they know the world and know men.
They have confidence in themselves,
and strength of viii.

endeavor to discover the men who

find them, they try to show them that
their services are appreciated. If they

LIFE INSURANCE SOLICITING
AS AN UP-TO-DATE BUSINESS
There Is Plenty of Room at the Bot
LONESOME Interesting Facts by
Jas. w. Alexander, il Success"

In the other professions, it Il said
that there is ple~ty of room at che top.
In life insurance, there is plenty OF
room at the bottom; that Is, for young
fellows just beginning. To one man who
is insured for his life, there are many
who might be. Even In New York city,
where there are more agents in propor-
ton to population than anywhere else
In this country, not one-tenth OF the
field is covered 1t is field that
keeps constantly renewing itself.
Young men who a:e taking upon them
selves the spohsibilities Of married
life need life Insurance, and can be
convinced OF the fact. Men whos are
already insured almost always take
out larger policies as their incomes
grow. Thus an agent obtains cliente-
lage which is continuing source of in
come to him.
The time is past for regarding life
insurance soliciting as temporary oc-
cupation. None but men who are sure
that the fed offers them complete
career and adequate reward for their
output of energy and talent through
the whole course of, their working
years can succeed nowadays in busi-

AN UNFINISHED STORY.
A Point Where in Telling 1t the Rev.
RRrrowa Always Stops.

Barrows Always Stops.
The Rev. DR.. John Henry Barrow
president of Oberlin College, who fc
merly preached to Chicago Congr
cation, tells a little story concernil
an experience of his own that may
worth passing along. 1t was at t
time that DR. Barrows was making
rangements for the holding of the gre
congress of religions here. He had
immense correspondence to take ca
Of, and found it necessary to empl
a stenographer. The young lady W
pretty. 1t is not to be inferred tn
there are any but pretty lady sten
graphers, but the one employed
Dr. Barrows was especially comely.
The doctor fitted up workroo
on the third floor of his house, whe
he and the stenographer toiled ha
day after day, undisturbed by calle
and we'll away from the noises of Il
streets.
The work Of preparing for the co:
gress was still going forward on II
14th of February, when the doctorsl
tie son became excited over the sen
ing and receiving of-valentines. The bt

his mother, he proposed that the

Well" said Mrs. Barrows, lit is vel
nice Of you to remember father. Ho
would it do for me to write a valentir
for him and let you take it up?"
The boy was delighted at the idea an
his mother wrote upon the sheet {
paper:
please Kiss the bearer"
This she placed in an envelop
which was properly sealed and address;
ed to the doctor. The boy started VI
stairs with his valentine, but he he

work, they are given it when possible.
Nothing is left undone that will help
the agents, FOR they are, of course, the
bone and sineW of the company. we
are all workers together for a COM
mon end. If, in addition to ability as
field worker, a man has executive abil-
ty, he may achieve position in the in
surance business of unusually large re-
wards and great power. He may be-
come, first, a general manager-that
is, the manager of certain district,
directing the work of all the agents
therein. These places are much
sought for, as the general agent usual
ly receives a commission on the re-
turns Of all agents under him, and has
an excellent vantage ground for the
writing of very large personal busl-
ness. There are, of course, various
grades of districts, the best men work
ing up to the control of the most re-
munerative ones. The man who re-
CARDS the work as makeshift is the
one who fails.
An agent pIust be able, to some ex.
tent. to direct and mold the mind Of
the prospect" who has not been edu.
Gated up to the insurance idea. To ac-
complish this, it is obvious that he
must inspire confidence and possess a
personality of sufficient force to give
his words weight The men who have
won the remarkable success in the in
surance field go beyond this. They
are always enthusiastic and optimlst'
ic; and. as surely as burning flame
will light a match, they communicate
their enthusiasm to others.
I believe that any man Of average
ability, industry and strength OF char
acter can attain. in the insurance busi-
ness. an entirely satisfactory position
in life. The calling is one, above
others, that has the latchstring out for

AS the result of studies on New Jer-
ey mosquitoes last summer. Professor
John B. Smith of Rutgers college says
that not Only will the insects travel
long distances from their breeding
place, but on favorable evenings large
swarms rise and are carried during
the night by winds. The direction i'll
which they so is often seaward.
Swarms have been met Is miles from
the shore, and they are common five
miles from shore. Migration of mos
quitoes. with the aid of the winds,
Professor Smith regards as of much
Importance, and as rendering the con-
troll of the mosquito nuisance a state
rather than a local affair." The Ano-
pheles mosquitoes continue to breed
long after frost has set in, and even
covering of ice on ponds is not fatal
to their larvae and pupae.
