expected that when the money bags
were tightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as a general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part Of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripeping,
and had stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance Of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing a large quantity of electrical ma
terial. and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
TO America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers Of hospitality. AS result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it out
for himself. for nobody seems to care
for the business and nobody knows of
it.-London World.

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof

TO let the light break in.

ience and tells about it, in letter He
says:

Indigestion and stomach trouble in

$51803 in 1900, being an increase Of
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops of 1913, it
may safely be said that the yield Of
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
115,000, 900 bushels, with an average
yield of over % bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax,
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce
greater average than for years. What
is said Of these crops will apply to all
