Editor World-Since Fred Dietz
left Canada the whole of the North

its extreme and lasting cold that we
are not living in the tropic of the
south. Then for two weeks it has
been steady from 25 to 30 below zero
"a healthy breeze for jolly young
folks isn't it?
But for all the cold the work has
been progressing rapidly, for in five
weeks there were built two large ell
evators, one of 10000 bushel and the
other 10000 bushel capacity. The
largest belongs to the Farmers or
Grain Growers. Another trust COM
pany born to the world. When will
the combines and trust companies
reach their highest point? / can
feel that the above combine has in
view no other purpose than in a
shrewd way get the money from the
masses. Then in the course of three
years 1 have paid out 5 1900 for duty,
for our home machinery is almost
higher than the imported. i have
thought of a plan to have all the
dealers go into an agreement and
get all our machinery from the states
so that the grower would get the
benefits of the tariff and not a few of
the manufacturers. Nearly all of the
engines here are in combine ex-
