breeders with reputation and a host

INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN
WEST.
Americans In Canada Not Asked to
Forget That They Were Born
Americans.

Farm produce today is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies in the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer hand-tomouth existence. It
means independence, often affluence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one of
the numerous thriving towns of Al
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres Of the farm
er's land had a crop-and a splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers work. The evenness Of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
OF the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the wellTounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to- He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used

as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far

a good definition of independence.
Throughout trip Of several hun
dred miles in the agricultural district
of Western Canada, the writer found
the farmers in excellent spirits, an
optimistic feeling being prevalent
everywhere. 1t will be interesting to
the thousands on the American side
of the line to know that their rela-
tives and friends are doing well there
that they have made their home In A
country that stands up so splendidly
under what has been trying conditions
in most Of the northwestern part of
the farming districts of the continent
With the exception of some portions
of Southern Alberta, and also a DOR
ton Of Manitoba and Southern Sas-
katchewan the grain crops could be
described as fair, good and excellent.
The same drought that affected North
and South Dakota, Montana, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and other of the
northern central states extended over
into a portion Of Canada lust men
toned. But in these portions the
crops for the past four or five years
were splendid and the yields good.
The great province of Saskatchewan
has suffered less from drought in pro-
portion to her area under cultivation
than either of the other provinces. On
the other hand, instead of the drought
being confined very largely to the
south of the main line of the C. P. r.
it is to be found in patches right
through the center of northern Sas-
katchewan also. In spite of this, how
ever, Saskatchewan has a splendid

is only incidental.

CHIEF WAGNER HOPES FOR

Objects to Scheme by Which His
Department Would Be Required

Chief Wagner of the fire department As
confident that the agitation in favor OF a

result in the adoption of a thoroughly
modern and effective high-pressure sys-
tenn in the District of Columbia.
In talking to a Star reporter on the
subject this morning the chief saidi
There are several schemes for high
pressure service. 1 believe the new board
of Commissioners will look into them
and will present the merits Of the best
case to Congress.
"Of course it is an old, old story.
There is nothing new in the situation.
but the fact is always with us that we

gested some time ago. What chance
would my men have to get their hose
picked up and themselves on the appara-
tus if they were down the street wash
ing a gutter? They would never hear
the bell.
.The scheme would be, I think, to let
