CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANscoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana.
dian west the vice-president Of the
largest individual hardware company
In the United States. AS his firm have
a turnover Of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took a deep interest in crop con
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings III ar article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the Importance
Of the spring wheat crop Of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the Importance Of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character Of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
"In a land Of such great sweep, and
Of such difference In soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm-
Ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
it is the one absorbing topic of inter
est and of conversation during its
growing and its harvesting, for upon
it's success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of a large part Of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to its op-
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers Of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
| of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de
fusion that population tends to outrun
the means Of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 20O,0 100000 bushels, sc
that your imagination and your arith'
metic can easily supply the answer as

It is a great thing to know how to
get real angry without making a fool
of ones self. Not everybody knows
how to do it. 1t is an accomplished
art, the ability to get mad like a gen.
tleman. To know when to get angry
is a criterion of character. 1t is an
accomplishment which is not learned
in the schools. 1t is acquired in the
relentless training of practical expe-
rience.
It is not a sin to get angry. ANY
man with half an ounce of ginger In
his system ought to get angry occa-
sionally. Temper Is the impress OF
God upon the soul. 1t is the mark OF
personality and intellectual stamina.
The scriptures say that God is angry
with the wicked every day. Jesus
got angry. Can you not see him stand
ing at the temple door? Can you
not see the market Genes which
were enacted there? Can you not see
his eyes kindle? Can you not see
his illumined c~ountenance blaze fierce
and glorious? Can you not see the
miraculous energy Of his personality
as he cast out all them that sold and
bought In the temple and said unto
them: MY house shall be called a
house Of prayer. but We have made 1t
a den of thieves
Christianity is something more than
a religion of love. Jesus said: I came
no to send peace, but a sword
P~assivity may be all right for weak
lings, but action is the birthright of
heroes. The mar who tries to be
sweet with everybody will find some
day that he is nothing but a lemon
1t is very easy, however, to get
angry foolishly. Sometimes 1t is prop
er to get angry. and sometimes 1t Is
not. 1t may be proper at times for a
man to get angry with the %janitor.
1t may be proper at times for a man
to get angry with the umpire. 1t
may be proper at times for a man to
get angry with the family upstairs.
But 1t is never, never proper for a
man to get angry with his wife.
There is many a man who will say
nasy things to his wife that he would
not think of saying to his chauffeur.
Temper is good. A bad temper Is
what you have made Of a good thing.
A rife is a good thing in good hands.
But when 1t has become rusted and
out of repair it is going to explode
some day in the hands of some cheer
full idiot who did not know it was load
ed. If your temper gets the best of
you what you need is. > off to
the repair shop and 4sde over.
These fits of temper, this our DISPOSE
ton, this iceberg atmosphere, this
spiteful spirit are as contrary to the
Christian as light = opposed to dark
ness.
