The development Of a permanent in

suits which the management Of the

Two years as the boys cf local grade
sch ools were given n the Federal Games

four teams in the grade school relay
championship race. In this years games
there will be two events for these young
athletes ffty-yard dash and a relay
race at GO yards. Already there IL an
extensive interest being taken in these
events by both teachers and boys IN the
various school divisions. and the indi-
cations are that there viii be at least
half dozen teams I'm the relay race.
In addition 10 the individual prizes to
the members Of the winning team. the
management has decided to offer a

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

There are few national subjects so
imperfectly understood as that of bro
protection; and comparatively few
readers who realize that the protec-
ton of birds is subject of such wide
Importance. Most people look upon
the movement as having no deeper
gnifance than the worthy agitation
OF group of enthusiasts, and to
these | commend the statistics re-
Gently compiled by the entomologist
OF the Agriculture Department show
ing the annual loss of millions of dol
lars to the countrys agriculture
through only the destructive work of
insects. There is not a farmer or a
land owner in America whose po,ket
IS not directly affected by bird pro-
lection, for the very good reason that
IN no country in the world do insects
impose heavier tax on farm products
than in the United States: and birds
are the most dependable as well as
most active destroyers of insects. So
you see ~--e subject as one of the great
est general concern, for every wild
bird that is saved is a diligent and
an intelligent extra hand added to
the farmers crop-making "help." at
no cost to him. The important role
which agriculture fills in our country's
resources and wealth and prosperity |
need not dwell upon, am sure; the
knowledge of it is in the mouth of
every schoolboy. What do wish to
emphas re is, that in helping to pro-
tect the birds you are in reality work
ing directly or indirectly according to
your vocation, for the benefit of your
own pocket. and on that score l make
my appeal for your aid-Casper Whit

Productive Power of Western Can
ada Soil.

Winnpe e correspondence:
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are some
times found those who question the fact
of its superiority. During the past
season ii has been shown that in grain
raising qualities it possessed the very
best. The late spring prevented grain
being sown in many cases before the
middle Of May. Yet, large percentage
of that sown at that time produced ex-
cellent yields. Had 1t not been for the
frost early in August, which visited
most of the north half of the continent,
there would have been a Magnificent
yield in every district in Western Can
ada Throughout the Southern Alberta
district, where about 100000 acres was
sown to winter wheat, the yield will
be enormously large. There are vast
tracts of valuable grain-growing land
In Western Canada that are available
for homesteads, the Canadian Govern
ment giving 100 acres free, and entry
may be made by proxy. by any near
relative, thus saving considerable cost
to the American who may have entry
made in this way Any Canadian Gov
eminent Agent will give you the par
ticulars.
Your correspondent has just received
the following letter from Craik, Sas-
katchewan, which bears out the state
ment made in the first part of this let
