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 will
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-yields
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 of 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 big one is fax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him circular is
sued by 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-nlne 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 n
Mr. White. living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres Of summer fallow 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
! in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for In the
same manner. This year u91D the
same man had one hundred acres Of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels OF wheat. He also had
1900 bushels of oats and 300 bushels
of fax"
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 appli
cation by the Government agents.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon.
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the efiliction assumed the
form OF an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-bllsters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch It
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
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
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be 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, doctored with the best ply

Mar is the creator of his own hap

in harmony with high ideals. For
what a man has, he may be dependent

acquisition; what he attains, is
growth. Happiness is the souls JOY

REPUBLICAN,
By G. NJ. Sprague

The Republican party mas sane,
practical and progressive platform,
which the president believes in car
rying out. 1t is one based on expert
ence in dealing with practical affairs,
and not one dealing with all kinds of
theories manufactured for the pur-
pose of catching votes.
The Republican party is the real
progressive party of this nation. It's
record is one of achievement, and in
my opinion is far too great to be de-
stroyed by the attempts of selfish
politicians. The Republican party has
always been progressive, and for that
reason | am a Republican. l have
never believed in standing still, poll
tically or otherwise. There is no
question but that We all want the
same things, good crops and good
prices for the farmer, good times in
our little cities and in the big cities,
a greater foreign demand for the
farmers surplus products, plenty of
work and money for everybody.
Fellow Republicans: Can we afford
to turn down the grandest party that
ever existed or does exist, party
that has kept abreast of the times, a
party that has given you SO much
Can you afford to vote for man that
says he is done with the Republican
party?
A vote for Mr.. Taft means vote
to continue our present prosperity, to
run the government economically, to
solve the high cost of living, not by
running the farmer with low prices,
but by providing more money and
higher wages to pay for the comforts
and luxuries that are now more plen-
tiful in America than in any other
country of the world. Let us Repub-
licans vote for the man that has
made good, and not for the one that
might make good. President Taft
has made good, and you will vote
for him unless You desire todestroy
the Republican party.
.ICASSIUS M. SPRAGUE.

out even the protection of a buffer
sea between.
The attitude of the Democratic
party upon the subject of the tariff
is pre-eminently sane. 1t believes in
immediate downward revision, not in
any unbusinesslike or Quixotic way,
or in a manner to block the channel
Of honest trade. 1t proposes, first, to
restore the tariff to it's original and
proper position of being the source
from which the government shall de-
rive it's maintenance.
The position of the Democratic
party upon the trust problem is un-
equivocal 1t does not believe that
the trust which favors it is good
trust, and the trust which opposes it
is bad trust. 1t believes in enforc-
ing the law against trusts. And in
such process of law enforcement it
does not believe it necessary to con-
suit with the trusts as to which one
of their very competent attorneys
they would prefer to have appointed
to conduct the prosecution of the
cases. Select a man like Louis Bran
deis as attorney general of the Unit
ed States and how long would the
trust problem remain problem?
In the great movement towards the
restoration of popular government
now sweeping over the country. the
Democratic party includes most of
the pioneers of that movement. The
Democratic candidate for governor,
Peter M. Ringdal, was an advocate
of the initiative and referendum, that
great method of bringing the govern.
ment nearer to the people, before it
became part of the platforms OF
national conventions.
Constituted as it is at the present
time, and under the inspiration OF
such men as VIM. J. Bryan, and un.
der the guidance of such men as
Woodrow Wilson, I feel that the
Democratic party of the United States
will not prove recreant to the respon.
sibilities about to be placed upon it;
that it will prove itself to be again
what it was at its inception, party
of and for the people. For this rea
son look with peculiar satisfaction
upon the victory that will come to its
banner in this November election.
