EXCELLENT TRADE IN
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe-
cially in the Western Provinces of
Canada, there is a %buoyancy in every
line of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
of the past year We're what was eX-
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
themselves. Many of them are indie
pendent, II many others have got

reports are that seeding is well under

prospects are that "A vastly larger area

prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. As o o as
it becomes dark, gangs are changed,

Then The more modest farmer is put

his teams of horses or oxen. And
what Will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yelloWed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast OK
panse of wheat field. And there Will
be a market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timatcd business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing The reputation
of Western Canada, and il is wort
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
Gus records, both in regard to quality
and quantity. and such an achieve

limit has not been reached, and a
large average increase may be eX-
pected during the next ten years.
There will be odd seasons when a

able people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peO-

situation as soOn as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.

FARM NOTES..

The garden record book is very val

swarm first, and are the best to gather
honey
The cost of seed is insignificant, COM

stand of corn.
The most expensive elements OF a
balanced ration, protein. for instance,
can be grown in abundance on most
farms.
Peanut butter has become a staple

Every year, when the gardening
season arrives, the question of the
best varieties arises. This can be cas-
lily determined by keeping records Of
each variety,
Many gardeners are now planning
for bedding plants. and some are
