ago. the solitary fisherman spends his
winter in preparing for the summer,
reading the e~ver-present Bible and
eating two meals a day. He makes
his own skiffs, oars, nets and even
the shuttles on which the nets are
woven. He has one shuttle made by
himself which he has used contin-
uously 80 years. He bakes all of his
own bread and pastry n in season
cans all of his W tomatoes and
fruit. In summer he is up every
morning at 5 o'clock. fishes all fore
noon, tends his garden in the after

through Rocheport dealers. go to
every part of Boone county. When it

n clover. This wheat Is looking
fine now, and we are seldom il ever
troubled with the fly here"
If examination of the winter wheat
fields shows that nearly every plant
is infested with little brown objects
resembling flaxseed, there is probable
ity Of the field being badly damaged
in the spring. Our correspondent has
mistakenly called these brown objects
eggs. They are not eggs, but are
forms into which the maggots that
did damage last fall have developed.
These ~fiaxseeds, as they are called.
will do no more damage themselves,
but will develop in the spring into
the small black flies, that will lay
more eggs on the wheat, which, in
turn, will develop into maggots and
burrow into the straw. The develop
ment Of the faxseed into flies is
hindered by hot. dry weather. Fields
which are badly infested with flax
seed this winter will produce a re-
duced field, due to the damage to the
straw of the next generation Of Hes
sian fly maggots. The amount OF this
damage will depend on the weather,
the fertility of the soil, and the re-
sisting power of the particular variety
of wheat.
We cannot give definite advice as
to whether badly infested fields
should be plowed up this spring. If
the plants were not badly damaged by
the maggots last fall, and came
through the winter in good shape, we
would be inclined to let the field re-
main in wheat. Otherwise, we would
disk as early in the spring as pos
sible and seed to any crop other thar
wheat. Barley and rye r slightly
troubled by the fly, but oats seems to-
be free.f

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
Iations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, it
has brought out the fact that On the
Canadian side Of the line the agri-
cultural situation Is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which 1t is well to face, that
on the American side OF the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with a somewhat de-
ereasing proportion Of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, fax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities In Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards Of 10000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority Of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which it will within a few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in In great earnest, n train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price Of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it is
still away below it's earning capacity.
The immigration branch Of the Domin-
ion Government has just published its
1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De-
partment of the Interior, Ottawa,
Canada, or any Of the agents of the
Dominion Government, whose adver-
tisement may appear elsewhere in his
