COSTS LESS THAN IS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT In
CANADA.
FREQUENT QUESTION An
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield of
wheat were reduced to 25 and 80 BUSH
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months of September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total of 181z million dollars.
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97A cents; that below contract
for the two months was little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of 891z cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or grand total for all wheat
of 35 million bushels, which realized
a total of little over thirty-one mill
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 6s cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat of
171a cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1914 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, 1t is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

The Mind of Joseph pulitzer,

When summing up the gist of any
matter declarative of his own thought
in regard to it, his speech was a les
son in diction and construction. No
essayist or pamphleteer or historical
writer but would have profited by lis
tening to him Everything that he
himself has written or dictated shows
this clarity of expression. He would
have made a great lecturer, a great
pleader before the bar. had not journal
ism and politics in his early youth
swung him away from his legal studies
to the most exacting of all professions
By long practice each of his secre-
taries had learned to know his needs
and his methods of listening. Every
article read to him from the mag
azines, reviews and quarterlies had to
be prepared, rehearsed, marked and
deleted. Even the novels, of which he
was voracious reader, had to be thus

Partial Eclipse of the Honeymoo,

In early American households ma
ternal authority was not lightly to be
defied. When Charlotte Fenwick, a
southern beauty of the Revolutionary
period was fifteen years old, she
took advantage of the absence of her
mother in England to fall in love with
northerner. Maj. William Leigh
Pierce, and to marry him.
K On Mrs Fenwick's return to Savan-
nah, which had been FASTENED by
news of the approach of the English
army to Charleston. she was highly
indignant to find her daughter mar

she demanded,

Pierce haughtily replied

envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as in in

they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.

none would overhear them each pro-
