FLAX GROWING
Is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount OF money made out
Of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products Of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas OF wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields viii
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion Of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre Of wheat to the acre-yieIds
unusual in other parts Of the wheat
growing portions Of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what OF oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry on the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katcheWan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields,
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and q big one is fax.
The growing Of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by a prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment Of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
Of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had a
yield Of twenty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose Of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case Of a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south Of Rosetown, who had fifteen
acres of summer faIlow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want OF crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such a
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for Rn the
same manner. This year 191D the

summer faIlow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 800 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products Of
Western Canada farms, all Of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
OF in the literature sent out on appH-
cation by the Government agents.

Manchester. Born to a position in
which she might have devoted her
life to the ordinary incOnsequentials
of a young girl, she has preferred to
devote practically all her time to the
study Of Industrial problems, especially
those which affect women. For some
years she has been actively associated
with the important work of Charles
Booth, Mary Macarthur, Gertrude
Tuckweu and Lady Dixie.
She was a member of the Home Of
flee Departmental Committee to In
quire Into Industrial Accidents Suisse
quently she was appointed to one of
the trade boards under the Board of
Trade, in which capacity she was a po-
tent factor in canvassing the chain
making and the paper boards trades
and making labor exchanges of prac-
teal use to the thousands of members.
She was also prolific source of knowl-
edge and advice to the temporary Of
fciaIs Of the Board of Trade in deal
ing with her sex.
AS one of the insurance commission
ers she will receive $4,000 a year for
term of five years-an extremely high
salary in British official life, especial

Subject for the Minister.

According to reports gathered by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, prac-
tically 10 per cent. of all deaths in
church congregations are caused by
tuberculosis. In a study OF $4,000
communicates of 725 churches in
which there were 1000 deaths in 1910,
the death rate among these church
members was found to be PA for
every thousand communicates. This
is higher than the rate for the regis

which was 1.60 in 1910

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

Water-bisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it

rise After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost IN
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
az times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years.
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, 1 doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part Of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash

London.-One of the few popular
things done by Lloyd-George In cOnnec-

Is shortly to become law is the ap-

union circles has won more esteem by
her work than Miss Wilson, and al
though she may not be able TO make
her particular department Of the new

weakness Of the whole scheme, she
will bring to bear on it more expert

more practical intelligence than any
other woman whom the chancellor of

lars for preparations to heal a wound
on the leg, and then finding that a
ffty-cent Jar OF Resinol did the trick!
That is just what c. NJ. Waggoner, OF
Brooklyn, n. Y, did. He tells briefly
his experience in the following letter:
"a few years ago I seriously injured
my leg, and tried everything saw adj
vertised. Finally, 1 was advised to try
Resinol Ointment, and in a very short
time the wound was completely
healed. One small jar of ResinoI Ofnt-
ment did what one hundred dollars

do. 9. NJ. WAGGONER,

ResinoI Ointment instantly relieves
eczema, scalds and burns, letter, milk

eruptions and iritations OF the skin;
pimples, itching, bIackheads, boils,

Matison was out at home on a
bold attempt from third with two
gone in the last section of the
fifth, and Clos opportunity was
lost. In their half of the sixth,
however, Teachout started the mus
ic with a safe bingle, advancing to
third while Stanley and Dyball

Ladue reached first on muffed

~ waiting with French for the op-
poriunity of scoring with Teachout
up. Umpire Cox robbed them of
anything doing when by mistake he
called the batter out on the second
ball pitched and refused to change
the decision. In the eighth Stan
ley hit a safety, Dyball sacrificed
advancing the runner to second
from which station he sneaked to
the next stop, and ambled home
with a run on a high throw over
third. Fox was passed up while
Farnsworth and EaBan Travelled the
strikc-out path.
The final slanza began with a
gentle rap by ID. Green who cleaned
the initial sack in consequence
thereof and managed to get to
third while McNally and Mcintosh
were following the well beaten
trail of SO many of their predeces-
sors. Then Smith took a third and
last swing and, perchance the stick
connected with the pill and that orb
moved the diamond, eluding all ef-
forts to corral it in time to, shut
off the resultant score. Perkins
performed his usual ring-around
stunts with the ether and The side
retired.
Now it was the home teams last
opportunity. Mattison, after foul
ing two, passed up the last one,
French got nice bingle, stealing
second and taking third on a wild
heave, that might have resulted in
a score but for the generous dispo-
sition of the local management,
while McNally allowed Ladue to
draw pass. Teachout tried in vain
