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

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. H. 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, / finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average OF
43A bushels per acre-testing 641s
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample | have ever raised
80 uniform and even in size. You
may know it was good sample when
tell you that have already sold 1000
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.
If you remember / pointed out to
you a half section lying just west OF
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which said should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada l 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 tc
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this.
may just say that I have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year l proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, 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.
Yours very truly,
N. e. BAUMINK.

Sioux City Man Eases Conscience by
SquarinQ With County

An interesting case of conscience
money has just come to light in Union
county. County Treasurer Webber
recently received an inquiry from a
man in Sioux City asking him to state
the amount of his personal tax. He
added that in 1890 he lived in Vir-
ginia township, had left the county
without paying his taxes and that
now, though poor, he wished to be
honest. Mr.. Webber replied that the
tax amounted to 1888, with interest
OF $17.91. The treasurer suggested
that if he would pay the tax he be-
lieved the commissioners would re-
nit the interest. IL few days a
draft was received for the whole
