There was no insurance, as Uncle Sam
never insures his property against loss

Over the cotton basket is prin-
ted: Make This" And over the
weeviI is printed: I'm Spite of
This" Then follows a line: "HOw
To Do It,"
The following are the rules that
the commission gives.
First. Destroy your cotton stalks
as soon as you have picked out
your cotton. The earlier you do
this the better will be your re-
suits.
Second. Give your land a good
blowing in February, aud have it
we'll prepared for the crop. This
insures a good start.
Third. Provide yourself with
seed of a good early maturing va
riety Of cotton.
Fourth. Plant your cotton as
soon as is consistent with avoiding
late frost injury.
Fifth. Give frequent shallow
civilizations in order to rush the
cotton to maturity before the wee
wills get it. :
Sixth. Pick up tho infested
squares in order to hold back the
weevils.
Seventh. Keep yourself posted
on all that 10 being done by tho

you do not have your cotton made by

THE points which | wish To impress

Prepare your ground with utmost

tivatiOn depends Your salvation.

doing exceptionally we'll to cultivate a

crops that have been cultivated as high
az eleven times and l have seen the
pickers in the fields at the same time. l
would suggest that you arrange q stick

ed by the heat. IL you have planted your

also. 1t would pay you we'll to have all
the punctured bOlls and squares which
have dropped to the ground picked uI
and burned. for 10 this way thousands Of
weevils will be destroyed.
Nov to the cruz Of the situation
Reduce your cotton acreage aud plant
only on an acreage that can be properly
and scientifically cultivated. II you at
tempt to plant your present acreage and
use present methods. say to you, d.
not. The result will be your ruin. In
stead Of the policy Of raising what you
can to sell. as you have with your cotton
crop. raise what you can to eat. II you
do not raise what you eat. you will starve
for the merchants are not going TO fur
Dish you.

For several days this week the
train ON this branch has been &C.
veral hours late and the receiving
of the mail WAS for the same rea-
son late. The freight now being
handled by train is too large for q
mixed train and the passengers
are made to suffer unnecessary and
unreasonable delay. According
to law this long branch should al
ways have passenger and freight
train and if the people would de-
mand and insist upon their right,
they would soon have regular
passenger and regular freight
trains. From now on we can al
ways expect tho train to be late
several hours for the simple rea-
son that ono train cannot do tho
large amount of work demanded
Of it and keep the passenger sche-
dule. We know the crew of this
train do all they can to more the
train as rapidly as they possibly
can. but to do more than they are
doing is a physical impossibility.
The remedy for this bad and slow
service is freight and passenger
train. and these the people can
have if they insist upon it.

WONDERFUL COUNTRY AND 4
HOME, INDEED, FOR A PRO
GRESSIVE FARMER.

Homeseekers and colonists could seek
far and wide and not find better To-
cation to make their home and them
selves Independent than is the beautiful
Fraser Valley.
If you are interested in farming,
dairying, fruit growing, chicken raising
in fact, any pursuit that can be fol-
lowed in the country you should not
wait until this opportunity is passed, but
grasp it Immediately. Investigate this
rapidly growing country-and do it now
when you can get this land at a low
cost.
Yon don't have to isolate yourself in
country that for years will be miles
from large cities and railroad facilities,
for in the Fraser Valley the largest
transcontinental line in America affords
transportation facilities and prosperous
growing cities are only short distance
away.
Water is a vital question to farmers
and fruit growers in this western coun
try. With proper irrigation the soil in
Washington, Oregon and Canada is most
fertile and the wonderful crops that
have been produced, demonstrate conclu-
sively what can be done. But water is
a scarcity in these localities. Millions
irrigate them and to purchase one of
these farms one has to pay many times
the price that is asked for land in the
Beautiful Fraser Valley.
Yon don't have to consider irrigation
when you buy farm in the Fraser Val
ley,-water is there and an abundance
of it, too. The great Fraser River flows
through this property and makes gar
den of Eden of the surrounding country.
The soil is rich and productive.
Hay sells from $12 to SIS a ton and
three to four tons of hay to the acre is
not considered a large crop in this coun-
try.
Farmers seldom have a season when
they harvest less than 80 to 12O bushels
of oats to the acre,-and it is frequent
for them to grow 80 to 35 bushels of
wheat to the acre.
AS for fruit-strawberries, cherries,
apples, pears, peaches and apricots-alI
yield large and marketable crops and
an Independent income and at the same
time make good money from poultry
raising.
Dairying is an income getter. Butter
averages 80 to 40 cents the pound and
there is ready sale for milk and cream
in the creamerieS in Vancouver and other
nearby cities.
Does this not appeal to you who are in
terested in making a good income from
your farm? Could you do as well as this
anywhere else? Consider well what you
are now doing and figure how much bet
ter is this that is offered to you by
White, Shiles & Co. of New Westminster,
B. c.
This progressive firm has opened up a
large tract of land that they are going
to sell to homeseekers and those who are
DESTROYS of being the first of a soon-to-
be great community. There is plenty of
room for more prosperous towns in this
country and this is your opportunity to
be one of the pioneers.
White, Shiles & Co. is firm that is
known for it's integrity and you could
not find better house to do business
with. Write now and investigate this
exceptional opportunity = it will be
worth your while.
