Western Canada As
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, bought a couple of steers from
rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me. / broke % acres which put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. / earned $500 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, had % y
bushels of wheat per acre and so
bushels of oats. OFF 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, | got 81 bushels of wheat
per acre and / 300 bushels of oats of
20 acres. | 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 90
10 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat
tle."
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson ia
given because il 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, a percentage of S4.2S. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months it was $50. This
is an unusually high average, and Il
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
it's average of contract wheat was
only 20 Per cent Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tart 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 be maintained.

Building the Higher Life.


AS the country grows, its people, who
have won success in so many lines,
turn back to try to recover the pos
sessions of the mind and the spirit,
which perforce their fathers threw
aside in order better to wager the first
rough battles for the continent their
children inherit. The leaders of
thought and of action grope their way
forward TO a new life, realizing, some
times dimly, sometimes clear-sighted-
ly, that the life of material gain.
whether for a nation or an Individual.
is of value only as a foundation, only
as there is added to IT the uplift that
comes from devotion to loftier ideals.
The new life thus sought can I'm part
be developed afresh from what is
round about in the new world; but
it can be developed in full only by
freely drawing upon the treasure
houses Of the old world. upon the
treasures stored in the ancient abodes
of wisdom and lelrning, such as this
where speak today.
1t is a mistake for any nation merely
to copy another; but it is an even
greater mistake. IL is a proof of weak
ness in any nation, not TO be anxious
to learn from another, and willing and
able to adapt that learning to the new
national conditions and make il fruit
full and productive therein. It is for
us of the new W )rld to sit at the feet
of the Gamaliel of the old; then if we
have the right stuff in us, we can show
that Paul, in his turn, can become a
teacher as well as a scholar.

that Bodenhamer is eligible to membership
