THE WINTER
AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY
SPENT BY WESTERN CANADA.
ANe IN WINTER SEASON,

= IAN unusually large number 81
Western Canada people are iesvinS
or preparing to leave to spend the
Winter IN California"
The above item OF news was clip
ped from a Western Canada paper
early in December. In the same paper
were items of news conveying the in
telligence that hundreds of Western
Canadians were also taking a trip
abroad, spending the Christmas sea-
son 'at home" as they yet term the
old land. The Scandinavian element
participated largely In the holiday
business of the railroads and the
steamships, but they all had return
tickets. Early In December the east
bound trains and boats were loaded,
and an estimate furnished by the rail-
road people gave upwards OF twelve
Thousand as the humber who would
make the Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that these
people are leaving to avoid the cold
ness of the winter, nor for any eli
matte conditions whatever. They
have come out to Canada and have
done so well that they can afford the
hundred and fifty or two hundred dol.
lars or more that it takes to carry
them across and back. When they
came to Canada they did not have
that much money all told, but now
they are wealthy and on their return
will bring some Of their friends with
them.
Then there are those, too, who on
their wheat farms have made SUM-
cient money that they can afford to
take holiday, and what better winter
holidaying ground could they have
than California? How many in other
farming districts of the continent
could afford the money and the time
that these people can?-Advertise-
ment.

SUCCEED BY DEEP FLOWING
Majority Of Failures In Dry Farming
May Be Directly Attributed to
Shallow Methods Employed.

Deep blowing is the key to success
in dry farming, and every failure may
be attributed mainly to shallow plow-
ing. and the complete evidence OF this
Is to be found in the history of the
early settlers for not a single deep
plower ever went broke or left the
country.
There Is no doubt that deep blowing
is to some extent hard work but not
nearly SO hard as Imagination repre-
sents it to be, and much easier in
the end than surface farming which
depletes the soil. wears out the farmer
and gets nowhere.
There are hundreds of dry farmers
or rather thousands who pillow about
SIX inches, pack, disk, harrow and cul
tivate day and night and Sundays and
lose every year in wasted effort
enough to keep themselves and fam
lilies in luxury the year round.
The dry farmer has no expensive
outlay, no water to pay for, no bitches
to mend, no rheumatism TO doctor, yet
he gets irrigation prices for every
thing he raises; surely he can afford
to plow, and even II he is short OF
horses, he can double up with a neigh
Dor to the advantage of both.
We are glad to see that deep tillage
is taking hold in the west. and sever.
al colonies and communities which
have adopted 1t in Colorado, notably
at Cathan and Limon, are raising the
finest of crops even in dry years. are
becoming prosperous, making money
and booming their land values in con-
sequence.
In a recent article coming to our
notice, Mr.. Cyril Hopkins advances
the theory that If we pillow deep and
raise big crops we will exhaust the
soil, says the Dakota Farmer We
would be glad If this gentleman would
tell us what to do with the soil except
raise crops on It; he reminds US Of
the man who owned a gold mine and
was afraid to develop it for fear Of
running out of gold.
These western soils are rich in min
eral plant food. in fact we might say
are made up of nothing else. and when
we consider that the mineral part of
plants and vegetation, generally Is only
about six (6) per cent. of the whole.
1t Is ridiculous to speak about using
up the soil in this generation, so long
as we conserve the humus-this is the
point, and the only method ever dis
covered of doing this is deep blowing;
blowing under the sod as deeply as
possible at the start and after that
as much of the stubble as can be af-
forded. The abandoned farms of New
England, which everyone has heard
about, were ruined by shallow plow-
ing. surface farming. using up of hui
mus, raising a little stuff on the
cream of the soil without adeqC ate
blowing; soil robbery; burning the
candle at both ends
These farms are now being sought
after by modern agriculturists and
redeemed by deep blowing and tho
introduction of humus. and some OF
them are in better condition today
than ever.
Shallow blowing destroys fertility
by burning up the humus which is
found mostly on or near the surface.
Deep blowing preserves the soil by
burying the humus where its gases
are absorbed by the dirt instead of the
atmosDhere and thereby conserved

ing women the right to vote in that state

of the Mississippi river Its signature by
Gov. Dunno is regarded as certain, as he
had been previously pledged to approve
the measure if passed. This Is not an
unqualified enfranchisement Of the wom-

state constitution is required to grant the
full franchise for all Offices. but it is a
distinct gain, especially as last year a
suffrage proposition was defeated at the
state primaries.
Ii Is noteworthy that this achievement
has been gained without resort to any
methods suggestive of mlitancy. The
women of Illinois have conducted an
active, dignified campaign of education,
presenting their arguments calmly, at
tempting no "heckling" Of legislators. en-

Bulgaria and Servia.

Car Nicholas has interviewed in the
quarrel between Bulgaria and Servia over
the spoils Of the Turkish war admonish-
ing them that they have heretofore
agreed to submit to him all differences OF
opinion and warning that in the event OF
an outbreak he will not remain "indif-
ferenA.'' This undoubtedly means that he
will take a hand to stop the fighting and
to punish the aggressor in the conflict.
The car appeals to the pan-Slavism of
the two small powers, thus disclosing
that he regards them as accessories In
his own scheme Of Slavic consolida ton.
His intervention is likely to have a good
effect. Already. 1t is reported, Bulgaria
has indicated willingness to submit the
dispute to the czar's arbitration, and in
these circumstances 1t Is difficult to see
how Servia can fail to follow suit To
persist in aggression now, in the face of
the attitude Of Russia and the acceptance
by Bulgaria Of that powers right to die
tate peace would subject Servia to severe
punishment. possibly complete loss Of
autonomy. These minor powers have
been permitted to combine to thrash Tur-
key, doing Job that the major powers
have, through mutual jealousies, been un-
willing or unable to undertake. Their
present quarrel mars the effectiveness Of
