COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
! CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN.
aWERED.

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 50 bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to Is 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 milAon bushels, which
realized total Of 1917 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 1914 cents. per bushel
realized a little, over eleven million
dollars. or grand total for all wheat
Of IS million bushels. which realized
total Of little over thirty-one mil
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 q number
Of men farming in q 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 IS cts. bushel.- The
average freight rate is not over Is
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
1fM cts. and for his high.grade wheat
Of 1871 cts; and though this is not
as large profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, It 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.

ECZEMA DIsFleuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of HIS ears. The
poor little fellow. suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless 1T night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cag0, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks. the dear
child.s face was az fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head Of hair which is q pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend tho Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

One of the largest wool sales recorded
in the state occurred in Fallon Satur-
day when w. w. Williams sold to the
Charles Moses Company, of San Fran
cisco and Boston, the combined clips of
the flocks owned by himself G. B. Will
liams, w. A. Keddie and E. J.. Free
man, amounting in all to 65, 900 fleeces.
The price received is said to be slightly
in excess of 13 cents per pound, which
is a material reduction over the figures
that prevailed during last season. The
reduction in prices paid for wool this
season by buyers is said to be attributa-
bic to the project of placing wool on
the free list.
The flocks contributing the heeces
sold Saturday sheared out the finest
grade of wool produced for many seasons
By the wool growers concerned, due it
is said to the past season, which has
been favorable one for all classes of

Valuable Stallion Commits Hari Kari

Giylord, an imported Percheron stall
lion, owned by stock company of local
citizens, stampeded Sunday morning,
while being driven along the county
road near the Thelan home west of
town and before Homer Moss, the driy-
er, could gain control Of the animal. he
he had ran full tilt into . barbed wire
fence, the wires of which inflicted
wounds from which the stallion died be-
fore proper aid could be rendered. Ar
teries and nerves were SO cut and the
neck and breast were SO mangled that
no sort of veterinary surgery would
have saved his life.
This horse was purchased little over
year ago at cost of $4, 500. and was
owned jointly by o. ]. Leete, C. E.
Mills, Bud and Will Williams and E. G.
Norton. He was warranted by the SELL
ers to live for a period of one year,
which expired about two weeks before
the mishap. Consequently, his death
represents loss to those owning the
horse, represented by the purchase
price.

OUR BALL TOSSERS SUPREME
Local Team Humiliates Sparks
Aggregation By Running Up
Seventeen Scores.

The Fallon baseball boys fairly played
rings around their opponents from
Sparks on the local diamond Sunday
afternoon, the truth of which statement
is best attested by the score which was
II to a sickly little two spot hung on
the score board by the tally boy, Char
ley Everett. It was simply case of
too much Yonson, although the indivi-
dual efforts of the remainder of the
Fallon team should not be regarded
lightly. The boys all simply did their
durndest and no one could do more.
George Johnson lived up to his rcputa-
ton as a strikeout pitcher, sending 13
of the Sparks kiddos to the bench via
the hit the air route. Never from the
first to the last of the one sided game
did the Sparks aggregation have wee
bit of peek coming 10 the game. In
the first inning Fallon scored four times,
repeating the dose In the second, when
they rested until the sixth when the To-
cal lads TO the number Of seven ambled
around the diamond, sailing the game
in brine for keeps. Two more runs In
the eighth inning brought the total to
the dreadful number of II, which
about represents the disparity, when
compared to the two runs scored by the
Sparks outfit, In the baseball prowess
Of the two teams.
With the exception Of Silva, the
Sparks shortstop, the car shops kids
played like lot of dyspeptic breakfast

proved weak at the bat, getting neither
