GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg. Mantle
ba. dated March IS, 1910 says: That
Germany il anxious to secure share
Of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports Of that cereal" The recent ad-
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made It possible to carry
on Canadian-G German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in tho
past, and considerable development
Of trade between the two Countries
Is now certain. The great men Of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation In this Country now.
and there Is consequently the deepest
interest In every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present ESQ.,
100000 bushel production OF wheat
and all efforts to increase 1t almost
unavailing. and the rapidly growing
consumption OF its increasing popula-
ton, there Is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfelds of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
ton Of the United States, and but q
twelfth Of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit OF the demand for Canadi.
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
eminent gives away In 160 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter. near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, former resi-
dent Of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels Of
wheat to the acre and had 30 acres Of
It; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which had fax Of which got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
in oats and got 70 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that I had fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He Is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one Of the big farmers,
some Of these days. There are many
others, hundreds Of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
Of American farmers in the Canadian
West is long one. The time to 60
would appear to be now, when splen-
did selections may be made. and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in couple Of
years.

Pity the Poor Cowboy!

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the famous
food expert, said at dinner In Wash
ington, apropos Of the meat boycott
and the cold storage discussion:
THE trend of modern life seems on
the surface to be toward preserved In
stead Of fresh foods, but there is no
such trend, save among certain deal
ers.
Who" said DR.. Wiley, would like
to be In the boots Of the cowboy In the
barren sagebrush country who used
to send in, week after week, the same
order to the storekeeper:
"Canamilk, canacow, canajam, cana
butter, canacake, canascrapple, cana
corn, canaham, canaplums.'

Atlanta, Nov. 26.-'Primary or no
primary for the senatorial election?'
The big political wrangle Of today in
Georgia is summed up in that phrase.
The fight of Hoke Smith for senator
| and Joseph NJ. Terrell for senator will
! he begun by them only after it has
been decided in what arena they are
to combat, whether before the legisla-
ture or before the people.
OF course, tbs up to the executive
committee to call primary or not call
it. Hoke Smith is opposed to the
primary, and the committee agrees
with Hoke Smith. Terrell is in favor
of the primary, but the committee IS
against him
Right now Terrell and Terrelrs fol-
lowers are trying by argument and
appeal to the old party faction lines
to create popular sentiment for the
primary strong enough to force the
executive committee to about face
Oh lHe question.
The Hoke Smith supporters are
busy arguing the disadvantages and
uselessness of the primary.
AS the legislature now lines up,
Hoke Smith is absolutely sure to win
if the legislature elects. Mr. Smith
himself and Lis supporters believe he
would be sure to be elected by the
people, too, but, on the face of it, it
is not so absolutely sure.
Here is another important feature
of the case:
Nearly all the quiet citizens of Geor-
gia who have no active factional in
terest in the fight are opposed to the
primary on the ground that it will
cost over fifty thousand dollars, and
maybe as much as seventy-five thous-
and dollars. This would mean at
least three hundred and fifty dollars
expense to every county, and an eX-
pense which is not necessary under
the law
They are opposed to it, also, be-
cause Georgia, they say, has been hav-
ing too many elections anyway, about
as many as she can carry. They arr
que, too, that there is no precedent
for such thing in Georgia; that
while Georgia was pioneer in the
idea of letting the people express their
wish in the choice of senators, Geor-
gia has never stood for the calling of
an election to fill an uneXpired term.
1t would establish an expensive pre-
cedent, they say, to begin it now.
The advocates of the primary, on
the other hand, maintain that Gebr-
gi twould be untrue to the principles
for which she has stood in the adVo-
cacy of the popular election of sena-
tors, if she allowed a man to be
elected for a five-year term '1by the
politicians at the capitol"
