c. |. Wyman OF Magrath Pins
Faith in M0ney-Mak-
ins Grain

Magrath, Aug. 3d. This season
has demonstrated beyond any ques-
ton of doubt that flax can be sue
cessfully produced in Southern
Alberta, and that on commercial
scale. Tomorrow will witness the
commencement of the fax harvest in
this distrit, when c. |. Wyman starts
to cut his magnificent six hundred
and forty acre field, recognized by
everyone who has seen it to be the
largest and finest tract of fax in the
province of Alberta.
In an interview Mr.. Wyman ex-
pressed himself as being immensely
pleased with his crop, and says that
he honestly believes it beats wheat.
and that's going some. Continuing
he said: Il have had unusual success
with my flax this season, and it is
now ready for the binder. ! have
raised flax in the States, but never
once have / had a better stand.
The possibilities of this crop in
Southern Alberta are unbounded,
and / would certainly like to see
some industry established right in
the province to take ourraw materi-
al and use it for manufacturing pur-
poses. This is what we need, for it
not only aids the farmer, but it
builds up the centres of the pro-
vince and supplies employment to
the laboring man. We have got to
work together in this matter.
II look for my flax to average at
least twenty-five buselhs to the acre
This is a conservative estimate, but
l never indulge in irrational state
ments, so will place the YIELD at
that figure. Next year l will let
most of this land lay over to recu-
perate as crop of fax Is a very
heavy drain on the soil, and will
plant some of my other land. l in
tend to go in for fax almost exclu-
sively, although l will continue to
sow hundred or two acres of
spring wheat, as still have faith
in it"
The inform alton given out by Mr..
Wyman means in round figures that
this fall he will thresh at least TO-,
900 bushels of fax, which will easily
command ST SO bushel, netting
him a nice, fat cheque amounting
to figure which will look some
thing like $4,000. Mr.. Wyman has
perfect right to wear broad
smile.

The Servant in the House

The Servant in the House" at
the opera house last evening proved
all that was claimed for it as a
strong and interesting play, and
the large audience left the hall we'll
pleased with the evenings enter
tainment. The characters were for
the most part we'll portrayed and
the actors were we'll up in their
lines. A. C. VIM, as the drain
man, appeared the strongest in his
part, while j. M. Miller, as the
crafty Lord Bishop of Lancashire,
and Edmund Daily, as the Vicar,
showed excellent talent. w. F..
Phillips, as Manson, acted his part
very we'll. Ella Burgett, as the
Wears wife, had her lines we'll in
hand but did not seem to give them
the force dem anded by the part.
Georgia Crumrine, as Miss Mary,
and V. ]. Dennis, as Rogers, gave
those two characters very good in
depreciation.
The next entertainment scheduled
for the opera house is THE Kissing
Princess" musical entertainment,
which will appear here on Saturday
evening of next week, October S.
BY special arrangement reserved
seats for this show will sell at
seventyfve and fifty cents, the seat
sale to open at Freeman's drug
store next Monday morning at eight
o'clock.

Model Chicken House Shown
at State Fair

A model chicken house, contain.
ing a dozen pure bred White Leg.
horn incubator pullets Matched
April 10, was shown at the State
Fair to illustrate the practice OF
deep litter feeding, which is urged
by the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin. Deep lit
ter feeding makes lazy hens active,
keeping them healthy and promot-
ing egg production. Ten or twelve
inches of clean straw are spread on
the floor as often as needed and the
feed is kicked into this so as to
make the hens work. The drinking
water is set on a shelf big enough
for the chickens to stand on, and
high above the litter. Trap nests
are used in order to weed out the
non-producerS. A platform drop
board is hinged to the wall and
about two feet above the floor. 1t
may be quickly cleaned in the morn
ing and the front edge swung up
and hooked out of the way. The
roosts are laid in mortises so they
can be removed when cleaning the
dropping board. Grit and shells
are kept in self-feeding hoppers
hung on the wall above the litter.
Ventilation is secured by window
covered with chicken wire in sum
mer and by muslin in winter. The
door is hung foot above the floor
to avoid the litter when opening it.

Big Crowds at Fair

The Pierce County Fair at Els
worth continues to be as big draw
ing card as ever, and on the open
ing entertainment day, last Thurs
day there were 4 $500 people on the
grounds, one of the largest attend
ance records in the history of the
association. The attendance Friday
was not so large, numbering pro-
badly in the neighborhood of $500
There were not as many exhibits
this year as there have been at pre-
vious fairs, but what there were
were good ones and the interest
taken in them, especially in the live
stock department, made it a paying
thing for the exhibitors as well as
the patrons of the fair. 1t was an
excellent opportunity for advertise
ment and the success of those who
had exhibits this year will undoubt-
eddy impress others so that next
year there will be large demand
for booths and stock space.
The weather was ideal for the out
door entertainments. The first of
these was a ball game Thursday
morning between Red Wing and
Hudson, which was won by the lat
ter team by score of to l. Earl
Morse, of ST. Paul, pitching for
Hudson, won his own game with a
home run drive to the water tank
across the race track. The game
was followed by the usual race pro-
gram. There was not much excit-
ing competition in the races on
either Thursday or Friday.
There was a big River Falls dele
cation out to the Fair Friday to wit
ness the ball game between Hudson
and the local nine. The game
started out very favorably, from the
River Falls point of view, and con
tinued so, with "our team" two
points in the lead until the fifth
inning, when Hudson went to work
and pounded Mr.. Lawson's offer
ings to all sections of the field and
scored five runs, giving them lead
of to 2. Bobby" Moser was sub
stituted in place of the vanquished
box artist and held the Hudson
sluggers hitleSs and runless during
the remainder of the game, but the
day had been lost as there was
nothing doin' in the score line for
River Falls. "plummer" Solheim,
center fielder for Hudson, got him
self cordially cussed by the River
Falls hackers when he made a SEN
sational running catch of Brady's
line drive, which looked good for at
least three sacks; and there were
three men on bases at the time too.
The one best bet the Ellsworth
fair has to offer is the opportunity
it affords for the farmers and village
and city folks of the county to get
together for a jolly, good social
visit. 1t is their one opportunity
of the year. And this feature alone
makes the Fair an institution of
worth, and one for which the peo-
pie of the county should feel thank
full to those who put SO much time
and effort into its preparation.
Some may KNOCK" the races.
others the ball games, one will find
fault with the shows, etc., and an
other won't think much of the exhi-
bits, but the social feature is en-
joyed by all, and for that reason, if
for no other, we all look forward
with pleasure to the coming of The
Pierce County Fair.
