WHAT AN 0HICAN
HAS TO SAY ABOUT CONDITIONS
IN WESTERN CANADA.

w. E. Lewis formerly lived near
Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatche-
wan seven years ago with $1,S0o In
money, a carload of household effects
and farm implements, including four
horses and three COWS. OF course, the
first year he only got feed from the
crops, but the second year had 100
acres in wheat which made over 2,S0O
bushels. He has not had failure In
crop, and at present has % head or
horses, 10 head Of cattle and So hogs,
and owns 1920 acres of land, all uIi-
der cultivation. He has been offered
$50 an acre for his land, and should
he care to dispose of his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
600 to the good; but, as he says.
Where could go to invest my money
and get as good returns" He con-
tinues in his letter 10 the immigration
department, August, 1912:
I'VE have equally as good if not
better prospects for crops this year as
we had three years ago, when our
wheat ranged from 80 to As bushels
per acre. never believed such crops
could be raised until l saw them my
self. I had Is acres that year that
made SO bushels to the acre. Our
harvest will be ready by the 18th.
We have this season in crop 400 acres
of wheat, 125 of oats, 80 of flax and
run three binders with four men to
do the stocking. We certainly like
this country and the winters, although
the winters are cold at times, but we
do not suffer as one would think
What we have accomplished here can
be duplicated in almost any of the
new districts. Advertisement.

this story before it's too late.
A big business man of this city re-
ceived a nice little letter in the mail
one day reminding him that he had
subscribed So to certain charitable
organization last year and that the
time was now ripe for another one.
Whereupon he sent as he thought, a
five-dollar check
Two days later he received an ac-
acknowledgement OF a check for twenty
one dollars. That's strange, thought
he, and Immediately looked at the
stub. The memorandum showed SIS.
but Immediately preceding 1t was a
stub for another check for $21. His
generous subconscious self had raised
the check and there was no comeback.
But the treasurer OF that society
must have thought it was an odd
amount, and perhaps he has hopes of
raising 1t to SIS by next year.

One objection to the new method
of handling sheep brought up by
many owners has been that the herd.

TEN would not adopt the new one.
The associate forester said that herd

their sheep look well and that since
they are coming to realize that open
herding means better sheep, they vol.
UNFAIRLY adopt it.
In conclusion Mr.. Potter mentioned
other studies and experiments which
the forest service is undertaking to
help stock growers secure a better
utilization of the forest resources and
said that the success in the work has
been due largely to :. the hearty CO
operation of the stockmen.

TO RESUME WORK

Announcement was made yesterday
at the offices of the United States
Army Engineers, Philadelphia, that
maintenance work on the 3O-foot
channel in the Delaware River would
be resumed Wednesday or Thursday
of this week, following telegraphic
orders from Washington.
The work will be carried on by
the suction dredges Delaware and

raising about a million and a half
cubic yards of silt in a month.
Since discontinuance of the work
last August, the river has been shoal-

at the head of Delaware Bay. AS
the greatest shoaling has been at
the Liston Lighthouse range, the
dredging work probably will begin at
that point.
