125. 900 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In a report Of the House Committee
Washington appears the following:
Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All of which is true and it is now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist In
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these is found in the
letters contributed by some OF the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks of that district.
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
81 have seen six crops, four of them
were first class, one of them a very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last f1f-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as I have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, so that am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate, and alto
gether Just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had Of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

COMMUNITY CORN TESTERS
Agricultural College Has a Plan for
Aiding Farmers in Testing
Their Seed.

The agricultural college believes
that the seed corn situation in Kan
sas is critical. Realizing this the
agronomy department has formulated
a plan which, if carried out now,
should prevent poor corn crop this
year. A cooperative germinator in
every town is the suggestion Of the
crop experts. The campaign for more
seed testing, as outlined at the col
lege, is this:
To have some individual or local
organization in every town take the
responsibility for obtaining germi-
nator and conducting a general ger
rnination test for all the farmers of
the community. In many places the
bankers of the town already are do
ing this work. When the test is com
pleted a crop expert from the college
will visit the town. open the germina-
tor in the presence of farmers. and
explain the results. If necessary the

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

It is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee I became
restless, nervous and excited, so that
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that l try Postum. I laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that I finally had
some Postum made. I have been u.s.
ing it in place of coffee ever since, for
I noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use of stick
ing to a beverage that was injuring
me?
"One day on an excursion UP the
country remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained a
number Of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling Of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that I had
already made the change.
She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving on
coffee and taking on Postum" There's

up the trunk Of the tree The moth
will find a suitable place, usually at
the end of the twig where the large
terminal buds are located. Here, in
a short time the eggs viii be deposit
ed in order that the larYe will find
suitable food, the young leaves and
blossoms of the fruit as soon as they
open. Where the orchard is limited
in size it is possible to head of much
of the destructive work of the pest
by tieing a piece of paper tightly
around the tree. On this, smear some
sticky substance over which the fe-
male will be unable to crawl. This
should be done Immediately if any
benefits are to be derived this season
The safest remedy to follow. how
ever, would be for the owner of the
orchard to provide himself with good
spraying outfit For an orchard one
to five acres in extent, a good hand
outfit would answer the purpose. The
larger orchards should have power
machine of some good make. As soon
as the leaves of the tree begin to
show green the orchardist should
spray the trees thoroughly with arse
nate of lead, using three or four
pounds to fifty gallons of water. One
of the best apple growers in the Ar
kansas Valley told me that with az
senate of lead two pounds plus one
quarter pound of paris green to fifty
gallons of water, no difficulty was c.
countered in controlling the pest. In
the use of paris green alone, it would
be well to use a small amount of lime
to counteract the effect of any free
arsenic that there may be in the paris
green.
AS a general thing it will pay to
use the Bordeaux mixture, or lime
sulphur solution while using this poi
son (arsenate of Iead) to combat fun
gous diseases with which all the or
chards are infested. Should the in
festation of the canker worm be as
bad this season as it was last, 1t will
be necessary to repeat the operation
from time to time. But with good,
careful work there will be no great
difficulty in controlling the pest.
