SPLENDID CANADIAN
CROPS
Wheat, Oats and Barley Uni
versalIy Good Throughout
Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.

The reports that come to hand from
the wheat fields of the western Cana
dian provinces show remarkably good
yields in all parts. Yields are record
ed of wheat going IS and 40 bushels
In many places, and oats from so to
100 bushels per acre. Barley and flax
are splendid. The thousands of Amer
leans throughout the United States
who have friends in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan or Alberta will be pleased
to learn of the great success that
has followed their efforts. Many Of
these have not confined themselves to
the growing Of grain, but have also
gone into the cattle industry. On the
luxurious grasses that are so abun-
dant there, in almost all districts,
make this industry safe and profitable.
The land sales reported by the rail
way companies and by the different
land companies show the great in
crease that will likely take place
during the next year in farming oper-
atoms. What has been said time and
time again may now be well repeated,
that there is no place on the Ameri-
can continent where the same oppor-
tunities are afforded the man looking
for home, for the young man start
ing out in life, the man with a grow
ing up family, who desires wider
scope for his ambition. The Cana
dian government agents located at
different points in the states will be
IL
tons, and relate to him instances Of
the great success that has followed
farming in Western Canada.

Anti-annexation Lea que Of Mount Vernon

mott annexation bill.
Arthur Mills johnson was the principal
speaker. He gave figures showing a
lower tax assessment in Mount Vernon
than in New York and declared that the
water situation was no cause for anneS-
alton. since an adequate supply might
be obtained from wells. He added that
from n transportation standpoint moth
ing was to be gained. because if the SUBJ
way il extended to 242d street the inter-
borough will be compelled to bring it into
Mount Vernon to make the stretch from

but little traffic IN that section. Mr..
