SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects for a Large Acreage to
Be sown In Wheat.

st. Paul, April "a, lockwood has
been received at the Office Of the
Canadian Government in st. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather Of the past
few days has taken much Of the frost
out of the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be a district
in which the seeder is not being oper.
ated. The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things in shape.
There will be a very large acreage
sown in spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy I'M
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day In order to get on
their farms and become active agen-
cies in the effort to make the year
1907 the banner year in grain produc-
ing in Western Canada, AS compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, 1t will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
tons for the present year. 1t is safe
to say that farmers who get in their
| crop before the goth or Gath Of May,
will receive magnificent returns. A
number OF those coming In this spring,
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
In a crop Of oats and barley and prob
ably some fax. This, together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding oper
atoms are rot confined to M district
but are spread over a country 90(
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents Of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are beins
made available for settlers. Low rail
way rates, information and literature
are given on application to the agent
whose name appears in advertisement
elsewhere in this paper.

water stands, the shortest possible
cut should be taken through the dry
land to the outlet. II, however, there
is a great deal Of compact blue clay

outlet, 1t Is sometimes more economi-
cal to run the ditch around these de-
posits than to attempt to cut through
them. II the ditch is cut through
such clay, 1t is advisable to fill In a
layer of coarse gravel just before fill

the finer particles Of the clay from

Soils for White Oaks.

White oaks have few side roots, but
each has n long tap root which ex
tends far down into the ground. These
trees get most of their food from the
.lay subsoils below. E1ms and naples
have a number OF side roots which ex-
tend far out in the surface layer. They
get the bulk of their food from the
surface IL inches OF soil. Oaks should
never be attempted In very rich soils,
or elms and naples in poor clay soils.

There has never yet been New
Year, as far back as records go, when
much of the days interest did not lie
in the swearing off, and the new
resolutions which are to be made.
AS far as the swearing off is con-
cerned, it is supposed to deal with bad
habits in general and the most gen.
eral and conspicuous of these, the ones
popularity supposed to be shelved for
while by the advent of the new year
men fraternize with smokes" and with

StIlI They Drink.
The saloon keepers of Rock Island
believe that as far as these two habits
go, that the popular belief that men
cut them out on the first day of the
year is as complete a myth as Santa
Claus or the pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow.
There's nothin' to it," said jug
gler of mixed drinks to an Argus re-
porter, when asked if the general swear
off of New Years day affected his bus
mess.
And that is what a half dozen other
dispensers of drinks said when asked
the same thing. In ali the records and
annals of the saloon business, as far
as lay in the knowledge of these mer
chants, good resolutions had never in
terfered with the run of business, and
instead of selling fewer drinks on the
first day of the year, it was the custom
to sell more, and to have the oppor-
tunity of saying oftener than usual,
"Oh, you've had enough"

1t seems hardly possible after all
that is written and said about the turn
ing of the good new leaves at the be-
ginning of the year. that the drink
proposition does not suffer and that the
popular belief in the cutting out of bad
habits has no foundation in fact, but
every saloon man who was asked about
the matter declared that in the profess
sion there was no way to distinguish
the days of good resolutions from the
others and that there were always prep
arations made for big days on New
