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

So much mas 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 end winter-and the yields will
continue to be large. apd 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 aere-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 Snow. And then,
there is the barley, with It's big yields,
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker. and big one is flax.
The growing of flax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed flax, the seeding
ana 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
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, twho had fifteen
acres of summer fallow 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 thcy
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner This year (191D 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 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.

HANGING PICTURES

A large picture hung by one wire is
hard to keep in place so that it will
always appear straight, as a slight
jar or gust of air may shift it. An
improvement in the hanging can be
made by attaching two wires as
shown in the sketch. The hanging
can be better accomplished and the
picture held more firmly in place in
this manner.-Popular Mechanics

DISCUSS FUTURE RELATIONS.
Russian Ambassador and Taft Talk
Over Status After Present Treaty
Becomes Imperative.

Washington, Nov. 19.--The rela-
tions to be maintained between the
United States and Russia after the
existing treaty becomes imperative
January l, were the subject of dis
cussion today by President Taft and
the Russian ambassador. George
Bakhmetieff. at conference at the
White House. The announcement Of
and agreement on trade relation is
expected before January /.
The ostensible reason for the am
bassadOr's call at the White House
was to reestablish the social relations
interrupted by the summer vacation
to which color was lent by the fact
that Nine. Backinetiff accompanied
her husband, paying a visit to the
president and Mrs. Taft
The appearance Of the secretary Of
state, however, made it plain that the
call was not altogether Of a social
nature.
The close study Of the existing laws
and treaties of the countries being
made at the state department and in
the Russian embassy here already is
beginning to bear fruit. 1t begins to
be apparent that probably without
any official action on the part Of
other government, existing trade re-
lations between the two countries may
continue to suffragance.
The only point in doubt is whether
to prevent the imposition Of the max
imum Russian duties after January
on American products. 1t will be
necessary for Russia to issue an order
in council suspending the application
of the law. There is however, some
reason to believe that these maximum
duties may not become effective ex-
cept by decree, which will only be
necessary to give notice to the busi-
ness interests of both countries that
trade relations may continue indefi-
nitely on the existing basis without
change Of tariff duties.

Deputy Sheriff Epperson went out
and secured the cotton and brought
1t into town where he held It until It
could be identified by one Of the To-
cal cotton buyers. as a bale missing
from his cotton.
Tho thieves could not be located
and no clues could be discovered as
to who they were.
