the spores are set free in the water
At this time any disturbance of the
bean plants will scatter these spores
in the flying drops of water. In this
way they reach healthy plants near
by. This explains why beans should
not be cultivated or handled in the
early morning while the dew is still
on them or directly after a shower
The spores of the anthracnose fungus
are scattered only when they are wet
This will also explain why a warm
rainy season is so favorable to the de-
velopment of the fungus. The spores
require moisture in which to be dis
tributed and in which to terminate
A relatively high temperature is also
most favorable to the disease. The
spores are produced in limited mum
bers in the spots on the pod.
Considering the manner in which
the fungus finds its way into the seed
il seems evident that IL ne spots are
to be found on the pods, none of the
seed within will be diseased That is
to say, healthy pods contain healthy
seed.
Several investigators have reported
remarkable results from spraying with
Bordeaux mixture After three sea.
sons observations in large bean fields
where the most up-to-date machinery
is used, machinery particularly adapt
ed for the bean crop, the writer is
forced to the opinion that spraying
with Bordeaux mixture is, to say the
very least, Improbable.

NEW RAIL Ways
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor - Sir:-Doubtles
many OF your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields OF Western Canada, where such
large number Of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. 1t is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; 1t will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
80 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
OF all grains will bring to the farmers
magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice Of a farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown-who
made net profit of $1955 per acre, or
little less than the selling price Of his
land. 80, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands In Western Canada is that they
are 30 we'll adapted to grain-raising,
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere In abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. It
Is now possible to secure 100 acres in
addition to the 160 acres as q free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for it.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
! Agents.
''The development throughout West
ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that of any other
country in the worlds history" is not
the statement of an optimistic Cana
dian from the banks Of the Saskatche-
wan, but of Mr.. Leslie NJ. Shaw of
New York, ex-Secretary of the United
States Treasury under the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and President Roose-
welt, and considered one Of the ablest

railway companies sold a good deal
OF their land at from three to five dol
lars an acre, and now the owners are
selling the same land at from fifty to
| seventy-five dollars, and buying more
UP In Canada at from ten to fifteen"
The editor Of the Monticello (owa)
Express made trip through Western
Canada last August, and was greatly
impressed. He says: "One cannot
cross Western Canada to the noun
tains without being impressed with it's
immensely Of territory and it's future
prospects. Where l expected to find
! frontier villages there were substan.
TALLY built cities and towns with every
modern convenience. 1t was former
ly supposed that the climate was too
severe for 1t to be thought of as an
agricultural country, but It's wheat
raising possibilities have been amply
tested. We drew from Ontario many
OF our best farmers and most progress
sive citizens. Now the Americans are
emi5rating in greater numbers to
Western Canada. Seventy-five per
cent. of the settlers in that good coun.
try located southeast of Moose Jaw
and Regina are Americans. Canada
is well pleased with them and is ready
to welcome thousands more"
