discussing The land situation the Pres.
ideot ct the Union Bank O. Canada,
whose branches are 20 be found in all
parts 0: the Canadian West, said
"A good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets OF Western business. and
has TO some extent formed a basis for
extended credit. but this is no. felt to
be a drawback when the value is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which is strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings is entitled to q reasonable en-
lareement OF credit for legitimate bust
ness operations"
It will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
Of farm lands in Western Canada
When the facts are known Of the Won
derful producing qualities Of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, it il sim
pie to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.

IL q farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured = crop Of Marquis Wheat,
yielding Is bushels per acre This
is spoken of as a record yield. and this
is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost a large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts Of the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields OF
from IS to IS bushels Of wheat to the
acre. Oats. too, were q success
ful crop. and SO was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market Zoe "a fair fgure) per bushel.
q gross return Of $500 per acre. Al
low $1,000 per acre Gan outside fgufe)
there would be . balance Of $500 per
ere e profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate Of four hum
dred thousand Of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
200, 600 will be from the United States
Most Of these are Of the farming class
and it il not dificult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will adj
vance from ten to twenty per cent
within the next twelve months. There
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads in
Canada win acquire in the intrinsic
value Of the land alone the best pos
sible start for . splendid future. Ad-

FARM NOTES
By One Of the Farmers.
rainy week for the farmer.

A rainy week for the farmer.
The roof in the silo is still unfin-
ished waiting for. better weather.
The Supt. is getting to be an ex-
pert mole-trapper. Gets about
every one he goes after.
Pulling onions and pie plant for
prison use kept the farmers busy
two evenings after supper.
Twenty-Five hogs from the O'Neil
farm were put in the fattening
yards at the prison farm, last We'd
nesday.'
Three thousand onions and four
hundred pounds of pie plant were
sent to the old prison, the first of
the week.
Corn planting started in on the
O'Neil farm Monday, but owing to
rainy weather was not finished un-
til Saturday noon.
With forty-fve hogs getting all
the feed they can eat, pork ought to
be plentiful in couple of months
for this institution.
Rats have just about taken pos
session of the farm barn. The two
cats work over time, but don't seem
to lessen the number.
Two of the old guard houses were
hauled out to the farm Friday after
noon. Don't know yet just what
use they will be put to.
Twenty eight ducklings from
twenty eight eggs. is the first duck
record on the farm. The Supt's.
wife feels proud of the hatch.
The Big Chief is getting there on
the milk question, all right, but he
sure draws the line on old Bette
nothing doing there, with him.
The Big Chief drew the job to
whitewash the bull pen. He said
all the brushes he had to do the job
with were bald headed Aand he got
more white wash in his eyes and ON
the ground than on the boards.
But for all that it was a neat look
ing bull pen when finished.
A new bull pen, 15x30 feet, was
built during the week by a part of
the farm crew. It was finished off
six foot high, and all but the Dutch
man said the bull never could jump
it. He was brought over from the
O'Neil farm Saturday noon and
turned IN the pen and was so anx-
ious to get acquainted with his new
friends that about the first thing he
did was to jump the fence, and that
on the highest side. Our Sioux had
the pleasure of lassoing the bull
before we could get him back and
the pen was built little higher.

Passing Of the
Rail Fence.
Editorial: Chirtian Science Monitor.

Editorial: Chirtian Science Monitor.
Observant travellers are beginning
to miss the zigzag rail fence of the
fathers. 1t used to stretch inter-
minably along the rail road right of
way, but it has long since ceased to
be continuous. Where it once be-
gan few miles inland from the
Atlantic coast and stretched, With
only occasional breaks for crossings.
villages, towns, cities and rivers.
into the heart of the Mississippi
valley, there are now great gaps of
barbed wire, or sawed board g or
hedge. The rail fence was never
particularly esthetic, never espec-
tally attractive; it's novelty began to
disappear after the passenger at the
railway coach window had followed
it for day or two. But it is not
disappearing for any of these reasons.
1t is vanishing because the great
natural forests that yielded rails so
plentifully in the past are vanishing
also.
Fifty years ago not ing was
thought IN the middle West Of split
| ting magnificent hardwood tree
trunks for fence rails. The ungainly
fences never exhibited themselves
for what they really were. They
never looked their quality. AS a
matter of fact they were often
formed of various walnuts, oaks,
elms, beecbes. sycamores, wild cher
ries, the woods that today command
high prices the world over for fur
niture and interior decorative ma
terial. But the worm" fences did
not use up the native hard wood fast
enough. 1t was also used for log
construction, for flooring, for out
house building, and for fuel.
The disappearance of the rail
fence itself is not so much to be re-
GREETED. 1t contributed 0 b ing
toward the beauty of the. landscape.
1t was not even relief to the end
| less and mOnotonous acres of prairie
grass at one time, or to the equally
endless and nOnotonous acres of
Indian corn at another The thing
to be regretted is that, with the rail
fence, SO many associations of the
young west have likewise dlsap-
peared. The rail fence of the faith
ers use to bend at intervals so as to
form lane toward log home sur
rounded by log barns and cribs.
The lane in these days is very likely
to be macadamlzed or asphalted
avenue, fenced W h ornamental
wooden palings or metal bars, and
the farm group is likely to be of
pine, or brick, or cement. Barns
are still attached to most farmhouses
even in the richest agricultural Sec
tional of the West, but the garage
that opens toward the avenue is per-
haps the best fitted structure on the
premises.
The fence rail country of other
days is richer in many respects to-
day. On the whole tits better look
ing. But the great native hardwood
trees that neither wealth nor inven-
tion can supply in this generation
are missing from the picture. Even
the rails, for the making of which so
many thousands of the trees were
felled, are going the way of the old
rustic porch of Ben Bolts time.
