CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
in AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact OF
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers In several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
Is that Of Messrs. ]. c. Hill & Sons
Of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was
peck Of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside Of these was like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at one time the
winner OF the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous In favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown in 1918, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
. occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion OF the splendid $500 silver
trophy contributed by the state OF
Colorado. .
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid adj
vertising card, were grown 300 miles
north of the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
AZ to 4S pounds to the bushel, and
with yields of from so to 100 bush
els per acre, Wheat also does we'll,
grades high, and yields from 30 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said of any portion of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa
are grown, thus giving plenty of feed,
and with a good climate, sufficient
shelter and plenty of water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
Of farmers from the United States
who have their homes in Canada bear
ample testimony to the benefits they
have derived from farming in west
ern Canada. Acknowledgement. ~

CHAPTER Xxx.
a Social Crisis

On day the ship sailed into splen-
did roadstead. big enough to hold the
ships OF half the world. Then into a
wide flashing river, the James river.
four or five miles wide down there at
its mouth. And up and up and up the
bright river, the narrowing river, be-
tween It's low green banks, with now
and again glimpse OF a large house
and of gardens and lawns green with
June, as one sailed past.
Harry Hampton told Francois who
lived in them as they went by-Har-
risons and Carriers and Byrds and Ran
dolphs - strange-sounding, difficult,
English names in the ear OF the
Frenchman. Young Mr. Hampton knew
them all. It seemed; many of them
were his cousins; Francois listened,
surprised, interested, to the word pic
ture which the Virginian unconscious
ly drew, as he talked of every day hap
penings, Of a society and way OF liv-
ing quite different from any the
Frenchman had ever heard of.
With that they were in sight of
Roanoke house--one might see the
roofs OF the buildings over the trees
Harry Hampton pointed it out with a
touch Of excitement in his grave man
ner. Then, as one slipped along the
sparkling water, there was sharp
bend in the stream, and as they turned
1t the large silvery green slope Of the
lawn lay before them, with its long
wharf and barges lying at the water
side. and ship unloading its return
cargo from England.
at is the Sea Lady" called young
Hampton. "She is in before us--and
she sailed SO long after"
He made a quick movement forward
with his pathetic broken step-for this
only son of the Hampton family was q
cripple.
There were people gathering on the
lawn, negroes drawn up In line; the
women in brightcolored turbans, men
and women both showing white teeth
as they grinned with the pleasure and
the excitement OF watching the ship
come in. Then a white light figure
ran down the broad greenness, and a
girl stood, golden curls on her shout
ders, straw hat with blue ribbons
tying down some of the golden curls,
but not all-stood and watched and
waved an eager friendly hand.
1T is my cousin Lucy" Harry
Hampton said. and Francois. looking
at him. saw his eyes fixed on her in,
tently.
