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 a hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often affiuence,
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 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
stanIial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was a French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal 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
in its preparation. And brains count
in farming as well as Draw" Asked
how he liked it there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
Outstretched towards the waving fields
Of grain, this young French Canadian,
model of symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, we like him-the
farmin don't we, Jeannette?'
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far.
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, in making a
new home in this new land. Eyes, we
come here wan year ago, and we never
farm before. Near Montreal, me
father, he KEEP de girls mill, an de
cardin' mill, an be gosh! he run de
cheese factor too. He work, an me
work, an us work tarn har', be gosh!
Us work for de farmer; we'll den

River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1910-09-08

de- right, an de farmer he say de-
well, anyway he tarn mad. Now"
and then he waved his hand again
towards the fields, II ave no bodder,
no cardin' mill, no girls mill, no cheese
factor / am now de farmer man an
when me want to, me can say to de
oder fellow! you go! Well, we
like him-the farmin'" And that was
a good definition of independence.
Throughout a 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 por-
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 just 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 G. 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 splendid
crop. A careful checking of the aver
ages of yield, with the acreages in the
different districts, gives an average
yield of 151a bushels to the acre.
In Southern Alberta one-fifth Of the
winter wheat will not be cut, or has

Uniuue Old French Village.

Lying so much of the beaten track.
the village of Port Lesne In the Jura
department of France is visited by
but few from the outside world, and
consequently this tiny community OF
men and women Of color is but little
known. 1t is not a large village, fol
it's Inhabitants number but little o
than a hundred, but every one Is
either black, or of copper color or
palish yellow. 1t owes It's origin to
the fact that about a century ago the
famous negro chief, Toussaint-L'O uv.
erture, was brought from Hayti and
imprisoned in Fort de Joux. Many
Of his friends, all negroes. followed
him and senoamped ear his prison
on the Bank CT the little river Loue
From that encampment grew the vii
llageso of Port 1esne, and when Tous.
saint-L'Ouverture died more than q
hundred years ago his friends decided
to remain In France. The passing Of
years and intermarriages have trans
formed the settlement into a French
village of colored folk, all of whom
have the vote. Port Lesne is thus
probably the most unique spot in ali
France.
