Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade. and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations THAI representative
must be supplied in the person OF the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue blessing to any
people If, in addition to promoting
their material wen being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty. for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
tion has been remarkable.

WESTEN CANADIANS
ACRAIN 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. bought a couple of steers from
rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me, broke 25 acres which ! put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. l earned $500 by breaking
fifteen acres for 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, had 22h
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats. OF 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, / got 81 bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats off
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
tle."
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,S47 of high
grade stuff, percentage Of 84.28. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months it was $50. This
is an unusually high average. and II
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first-class wheat The crop OF
1908 was considered good enough, and
its average of contract. wheat was
only 20 Fer cent. Good weather
throughout the season 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 character will be en-
countered for long time to come
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for a term Of years
will be maintained.
