A NERVOUS WRECK

Dr.. Williams Pink pills.

General debility is a term that covers

strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.

bulletin of the association sizes up the
situation as follows: Wheat, S7,2O3, 900
bushels; oats, 75,725,6O0 bushels; barley,
1871 1886.
This is a lower estimate than either of
the others, but we must consider that it
is 6 railway-tour estimate, whilst the
others were made by men in the wheat
field, SO to speak; and the circumstances
somewhat favor the correspondent and
the local bank manager, respectively, in
his estimate. But there is one point upon
which all agree, and that is that the wheat
crop of 1906 is of excellent quality
throughout, that it is characteristic of
Western Canada's grain and will grade
high all along the line. On this point
American grain men such as j. F. Whal-
lon of Minneapolis, Finlay Barral of Chi
cago, Sheriff Brainerd of Springfield, ILL.,,
and others, are particularly explicit in
their statements.
A careful examination of all the fig
ures at present available would lead US
to believe that the yield will probably be
about 100000 bushels. These figures
may seem disappointing to many who be-
lieved that the increased acreage under

ing them in the service once they are
enlisted and trained These instances of
discrimination against the uniform go
far to counterfeit the most earnest eff
forts of the recruiting officers. The re-
cru1t expects and endures much dis.
comfort and actual hardship as a mat
ter of course. He does not expect to
be marked out as one with whom his
fellow Americans can not associate and
to be excluded from public places to
which he would be welcomed were he
not in uniform. This is merely to place
a penalty on patriotism.

From time to time violent outbreaks
against high public officials will occur
with more frequency than in the past,
but human society can never be perma-
nently overthrown by any class Of rev
Olutionists. 1t is anchored in two basic
principles. One of these is the necessity
for public order to secure public and
Individual safety, which can only be
accomplished by the cooperation of
the vast masses of the people against
all who would attempt their destruc-
ton. The other safeguard is the tenac-
Ity with which all who possess any
will cling to their private property.

cARNEeIE's PROPHECY.

Says Canada and This Country Will
Have 3OO,OOO,OOO Population.
Mr.. Carnegie has had a vision and
INDUCES in the prediction that during
the lifetime of many now living 3O0,-
100000 EngliSh-speaking people are to
dwell in the United States and Canada
Much depends upon the length Of years
to be allowed to many now living"
Infants may live to see the fulillment
Of the prophecy, but if a man of % is
to behold 1t with the eyes of the flesh
the rate of increase Of population in
both countries must take on a pro-
digious impetus. The United States
doubled It's population between 1870
and 1900, at the former date having
3S,55S,371, and in 1900 76,3O3, 1897. If
it should double in the thirty years aft
er 1900 the population would be about
100000, and another doubling in
the next thirty years would bring it
above the Carnegie mark, without tax
ing Canada into account.
But there are economic causes that
check the rate of increase in very pop
ulous nations, and it is not safe to cal
culate on a rate Of progression being
maintained in future years. A country
of great geographical area, with a new
civilization, with vast tracts open to
settlement, is in its best estate for
growth, since the struggle for existence
is then free from the influences that
spring up in congested lands. In the
United States of 150,O0000O the prob
lens" that now affect the increase of
population may become much more
pressing than they are to-day. The
increase may be slow and gradual in
stead Of by leaps and bounds.
Canada has the advantage of being
new, and it presents conditions that in
vite immigration. It's inhabitants are
more than twentyfold as numerous as
they were a century ago. The most re-
markable gain in population was in the
decade 1S51-1S61, when it was from
1912, 265 to 3,O9O561. In the next dec
ade it mounted to 3,635,024. 1t did not
double in the following thirty years, the
census Of 1901 giving the Dominion
5,371, $40. Canada's increase since 1871
has been at the rate Of between 500,-
GOO and 100000 a decade In the near
future this rate is likely to increase
rather than fall off. because of the
wheat areas west of Winnipeg. But it
will be a long time before Canada will
touch 100000 population. Though

rate Of increase is not materially differ

crop this year would have yielded a larga
percentage of increase on the returns OF
1905, but there are several causes that
have contributed to keep down the aver
age yield. The greater the number OF
new settlers the greater the chance Of in
experienced and less profitable farming.
1t is the newer settler, as a rule, who,
his anxiety to break new land, has sown
on this years stubble, and a good aver
age yield cannot be expected on this land.
But, be that as it may, a crop of 100000
600 bushels in the Canadian West is not
to be looked at lightly. Allowing 100000,
600 bushels for home consumption and
seeding purposes, 100000 bushels will
represent the export trade, and this guam
tity at a little better than 10 cents per
bushel, will represent distribution of
nearly $56,OOO,000 for wheat alone, be-
tween Winnipeg and the foothills; and
this large amount of money is altogether
independent of the cost of freighting this
vast quantity of grain from the western
elevators to tidewater.
The income of the Western Canadian
farmers this year will be further aug
mented by the returns which they will re
ceive from the excellent crop OF oats and
the good crop of barley which is their
portion. Of oats alone over 75,OOO,OOO
bushels are claimed, and barley brings to
market over 100000 bushels. An ad-
ditional $25,00O,00O from these crops
added to the $50,O0O,OOO from wheat, and
the proceeds from dairying and mixed
farming, will contribute very materially
to making agriculture in Western Canada
a very dependable business.
A drawback to the more successful car
rying on of farming operations in the
Canadian West for some years back has

CANADA WHEAT CROP.
ALL REPORTS INDICATE A BIG
YIELD.
Great HarVeSts in the Canadian
Northwest Bring Unparalleled
Prosperity to the Farmers of That
Region.
Winnipeg correspondence /:

w IunIpeS correspondence
For the past four or FIVE weeks the re-
suit of the harvest in the Canadian West
has been an absorbing topic, not only with
tie Canadian people, but with a large and
interested number of Americans illers,
grain dealers and farmers particularly.
To such an extent has this interest in the
Canadian grain crop been manifested that,
when the Northwest Grain Dealers Asso-
citation left for their trip of inspection,
they were accompanied by a number Of
American grain dealers who felt it neces-
sary to have a personal knowledge of the
subject.
Two or three weeks ago a public state
ment was made by Mr.. Robin, Premier of
Manitoba, in effect that the wheat crop
would reach 115,000,000, and that there
would be fully 100,000,000 for export,
ana at that time there were many who
believed that Mr.. Robins estimate was
we'll within the mark but since then con-
ditions have changed, and other estimates
have been made. Every possible effort to
get accurate knowledge of the crop has
been put forth in many quarters.
The Winnipeg Free Press put corps

been the difficulty of obtaining needed
help at harvest time. As each year an
additional area has been put under crop
this scarcity of help has been accumulated,
and during the present harvest the cry all
along the line has been 'Harvesters
Wanted" The work of preparation and
seeding is spread over several months, but
the ingathering of the harvest has to be
done in a few weeks hence the necessity
for additional assistance at that particu-
lar time. The crop of 1905 required 49,
600 harvesters from outside, and this year
it has been estimated that from $4,000
to $4,000 will be required to supplement
the work of the farmers in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The demand for harvest hands is not
permanent, the work for which they come
lasting only from early in August until
the end of the threshing season. Many
of those who come to work In the grain
fields, however, remain and become grain
growers themselves, creating additional
demand for the same class of help, and
thus the problem becomes more acute
every succeeding year. The time was
when sufficient number of harvest hands
could easily be obtained from Ontario,
but in recent years the area taken in by
the harvest excursions has been extended
and in 1904 and 1905 it reached clear
down to Nova Scotia in the call for men
to work in the fertile fields of the West.
This year the limit has been further ex-
tended, and a new movement of British
farm laborers has been inaugurated,
which will be of incalculable benefit to
the prairie country, giving a stimulus to
immigration, and disseminating among
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-09-26

of correspondents in the wheat field for
twenty consecutive days. In this way
thousands of miles were travelled by train
through the wheat district, over 1,400
miles were driven through growing wheat,
and 90 pivotal points were visited and
observations made AS a result of the
work a straight announcement is made
that the wheat acreage is 100000; that
the average yield is 10 bushels to the
acre; and that the aggregate crop will
reach 9O,25O,OO0.
Bank statements regarding crops are
usually of dependable character, and
the figures furnished by the Canadian
Bank Of Commerce more than endorse
those given by the Free Press. The bank
estimate places the figures at: Wheat,
