WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields Of Wheat and
Good PIECES.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. II. Rogers, Canadian Govern.
ment Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
| promised to write YOU what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat.
Well, l finished threshng yesterday
and received from it an average Of
43h4 bushels per acre-testing 64la
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample ! have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was a good sample when
tell you that have already sold .. 900
bushels OF it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
II you remember ! pointed out to
you half section lying Just west of
our house and joining my upper guar
ter on the south, which ! said should
have in order to make one Of the best
farms in western Canada. am very
glad to be able to tell you that | now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels OF wheat next year. If some
Of those good. honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this. |
may just say that have done all my
farming with eight head Of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year proved to
my neighbor that the lIoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
so you see "old Indiana is holding the
ribbon this year

GOSSIP.

William T. Reid, Jr., for the last two
years in charge of football at Harvard,
was asked this question: What has
been accomplished toward establishing
a coaching system of permanency and
what are the future prospects of foot
ball at Harvard?" Reds reply was:
When l came east two years ago
found the football situation at Har-
ward just about as l expected to find
it: that is to say, matters were pretty
we'll tangled up. This was due, OF
course, to the fact that with an annual
change in policy, each head coach usu-
ally having had but one year at the
work, no system had been established
or even started, each coach finding it
all he could do to struggle through
his own incumbency without attempt,
ing to do anything for the future. 1t
took a good part of the first year to
get the needs of the situation in mind
and to act upon few of the most i'm
portant things. Then came the dark
ages during which it seemed doubtful
whether there would be any more foot
ball. Harvard football emerged from
this uprooting on something of new
basis. Graduates and freshmen were
debarred from the teams, mass play
was abolished, and new game evolVs
ed. Therefore much that had been
done to start a system was under.
mined, and in many ways a new be
ginning had to be made. The start
was made, and it is my feeling that
football at Harvard is now in condi.
ton where If the policy as laid out is
carried on for at least another year.
better and better teams should be
turned out with less and less effort,
IT. on the other hand, the start already
made is not followed up, we shall soon
be back where we were prior to 1908.
The situation seems to me to be a
healthy one and l hope to see next
year great progress made along the
lines which all Harvard men recognize
as the only sound ones-the establish.
