WESTEN CANADIANS
A GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust. Anderson of Maidstone, Sask,
was formerly of Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16, 1910, he writes:
ARRIVING fifteen miles from Maid
stone, l bought a couple of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen l brought
with me, 1 broke 25 acres which l put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. 1 earned $45.0e by breaking
fifteen acres for a neighbor and dur
ing the summer l put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding a
heavy frost on August 18th, l had 22h
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats. OF IS acres of wheat
in 1909, l got q bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats of
20 acres. l never saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days. Water can be had at from 20
to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat
tie"
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson is
given because it is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
of lettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality Of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,847 of high
grade stuff, a percentage of 84.28. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months it was 1876. This
is an unusually high average, and it
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow frst-class wheat. The crop of
1908 vas considered good enough, and
it's average of contract wheat was
only 70 per cent. Good weather
throughout the seaso was an impor-
tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long time to come,
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for a term of years
will he maintained.

1t requires four factories, employ
ing 1000 men-turning out 140 Over
lands daily-to meet the f1ood-like
demand for these cars. Yet two
years ago a hundred rivals had a
larger sale.
The reason lies largely in the cars
utter simplicity. Its able designer
made it almost tr~ouble-proof.
He created an engine which, for
endurance, is the marvel of engi-
neering.
He designed the pedal control.

or fast, by merely pushing pedals.

A child can master the a in ten
minutes. A novice can drive it a

and almost cares for itself. All the
usuSl complexities have been elimi-
mated.
That is why each car sells others,
and our orders for this years Over

NO." replied the truthful sutton,

swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from

merely because she wants to be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half of his work, and
no little brother to make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head

PeShaStin Notes

Bostonville, May 31.-Work Is
progressing on the big mill which
will soon be in operation at this
place. The foundation is now being
put in and it is expected that the
machinery will arrive with the next
few days. The new mill will have
capacity of 10000 feet per day.
w. E. Boston and O. S. Bowen
have each purchased some new
trucks preparatory to grabbing a
piece of money from the logging
business when the new mill starts
operations.
The family of ]. c. Biles arrived
a few days ago from the Sound. They
are stopping at the home of 0. S.
Bowen for the present.
M. T. Boston, while not able to
attend the Decoration day observan-
ces, nevertheless unfurled the old
flag to the breeze in honor of the
occasion. Mr.. Boston served in the
14Sth Pennsylvania.
