MANIT0BKS AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRY
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN
THAT PROVINCE DURING THE
PAST FEW YEARS.

The past year has shown that the
Province of Manitoba, the Premier
Province of Western Canada, stands
out prominently in point of wealth in
her agricultural productions. Mani
toba had an excellent yield of wheat
in 1914, the oat crop was not so good,
and with the high price received, every
farmer was placed in a good financial
position.
For some years, as is probably the
case in all new countries, Manitoba
went largely into the growing of
grain, and while this paid we'll for a
time, it was found that having to pur-
chase his meat, his milk and a num-
Der of other daily requisites, the farm
did not pay as it should Now. there
is another side to it. Fodder crops
are grown, cattle are being raised,
cheese factories and crea.neries are
established, and the result is that the
financial position of the farmers Of
Manitoba is as strong as that of those
in any other portion of the continent.
scarcely farmer today but has real
lied that the growing of grains alone
mas a precarious side. and that posi-
i've security can only be assured by
diversified farming, and securing the
latest modern and most economic
methods. Therefore timothy, clover,
alfalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are
universally grown. Most wonderful
success meets the efforts of the farm
ers IN the cultivation of these grasses,
and the yields compare favorably
with those of many older countries,
While In many cases they exceed them.
1t is worth while recording the acre.
age of these crops this season as COM
pared with last, because the figures re-
fleet the remarkable progress that is
being made in dairying and in the
beef and pork industry. In 1918 bronze
grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye
grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on
1912 acres, clover on 1928 acres, al
falfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on
2O,223 acres. In 1914 the respective
acreage under those crops were 5,444
acres, q, 100 acres, 165,990 acres, 1919
acres, and 0,250 acres and 30,430 acres.
Alfalfa particularly is coming into it's
own, the acreage having been more
than doubled last year.
1t is simply the natural process of
evolution from the purely grain farm
ing which Manitoba knew as the only
method twenty years ago to the more
diversified forms of agriculture that
is responsible for the development
along these other lines in this Prov
ince. Alberta is coming to it at an
earlier stage than did Manitoba Sas-

In the same direction.
Then, as her fodder crop and root
crop acreage indicate, there have been
increases in the holdings of all kinds
of live stock during the past twelve
months, according to the correspond

against $4,000 last year; mich COWS
are 160,474 head, as against 157 1868
head; pigs number $4,000 as against
248,000; sheep number $4,000, as
against $4,000; and there are 1926 900
horses, as compared with 100000 at
this time last year. These are the
latest Provincial figures, and they
show that despite the great efflux of

ALFALFA ARE
SHOWN DANGER
of Using Commercial Turkes-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
A warning to alfalfa growers to avoid
the usesof commercial Turkeatan seed
is contained in Department Bulletin
No. 1873, Of the United States Depart
nnent of Agriculture, which is shortly
to be issued under the title Com
mercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed.
Investigations Made.
Specialists of the department have
been Investigating the comparative
merits of different kinds of alfalfa
seeds and have reached the conclu-
sion that there is nothing to recon-
mend the Turkestan variety for gem
eral use in this country. 1t is, they
say, particularly unsuited to the hui
mid climate of the East which. as a
matter of fact, uses most of the
Turkestan seed imported into this
country, This seed is also not suf-
ficiently hard to warrant its general
use in the upper Mississippi Valley
where hardness is an important fac
tor. The Investigators, however. are
careful to distinguish between com

In the health reports Just issued tDy
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, attention is called to the fact
that one of the greatest social needs
health officers for cities, villages, and
rural communities. During the last
twenty or thirty years, much knowl-
edge has been obtained as to how dis
ease may be controlled and prevented.
Much of this information, however,
being comparatively new, has not be-
come common knowledge. 1t Will
probably do SO only when the prtn-
cipIes of how to live, to keep well
and to avoid diseases are taught IN the
schools, along with mathematics and
grammar.
Trained health officers now know
that many of the common diseases.
such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever.
diphtheria, smallpox and measles, can
be controlled and prevented. When
any city or other community really
desires that these diseases be pre-
vented, they will be able ito have it
done, and can rid themselves of these
enemies of man, which actually cost
more in lives and money each year
than would the waging of a war with
a foreign enemy.
In order, however, that city or
other community may protect itself,
it is necessary that it have health
department or health officer. and not
only this, but that the health officer
or the head of the health department
shall know about health administra-
ton and the prevention of disease.
Unfortunately, there are at the pres
ent time comparatively few persons
trained in public health administration
and the prevention of disease as 1T
relates to communities For this rea-
son it is impossible to find competent
persons to fill the thousands of posi-
lions of local health officers. The
great need at the present time, there
fore, is not more knowledge of how
to prevent disease, but more people
familiar with the knowledge which
has already been acquired by experts
The federal public health service sug-
gests that state departments of health
train the local health officers of their
respective states by establishing cor
respondence courses in health admin
istration, and that examinations he
held annually and certificates issued
to those who have shown themselves
proficient.
Such courses would be welcomed by
health officers. Others also would be
glad to take them, because of the use

ArIkansas HAS enid Labor Law.

AT the popular election just held In
Arkansas the people of that state
passed child labor law which was
Initiated by petition last spring. This
is the first child labor law to he passed
under the initiative in any state and
more people cast ballots for it than
for any other matters voted on at the
election.
January L, 1915, provides a fourteen
year age limit for children in any re-
munerative occupation; a sixteen-year
age limit for any employment In mines
and other specified dangerous occupa-
tons; an eight-hour day and the pro-
hibition OF night work for all under
'16, and requirement for employment
certificates for all children under f6.
giving documentary proof Of age and
evidence OF the completion of four
grades of school. Only eight other
states have all these provisions on
their statute books.
The National Child Labor Commit
tee, which has been working with the
Arkansas Federation of Labor for the
law, regards the great popular interest
in the measure as an assurance that
the law will be enforced and that child
labor Is doomed in Arkansas.
