Find Several Varieties.

The Agricultural Department explorers
found several varieties of navel oranges
around Bahia that look as though they
might be the progenitors of the American
strain. Some of them have few seeds.
There are two varieties that promise to
be especially valuable when established
here because one of them is a summer
bearing tree and the other bears in our
winter and spring

the importations will act in this country
Soil and climate play tricks with tropica

instance. is by no means as sweet as the
Bahia variety. This is not because the
latter has more sugar, but because II has
less acid. However. it is expected to
obtain something good out of the I'M
portations.
One curious thing the explorers found
was an orange lime. 1t is as big as an

aged about the waist. For figures slen-
der enough, the tango tea gown is
made to be worn without corset.
Nearly all Of them are provided with
girdle, and long story might be
written on the subject of the girdle
alone, for they appear in an endless
variety Of styles.
Where the waist and bodice are
made separately, it is best to sew the
skirt to an underwaist instead of a
belt. This will prevent the skirt and
bodice from parting company during
some extra-strenuous figure of the
dance. A plain corset cover serves to
support the skirt. By sewing eyes
at the waist line into which little
hooks on the bodice will fasten, the
waist and skirt are joined before the
girdle Is placed.
Skirts for tango dancing are most
satisfactory made Of accordion plated
fabrics, very light in weight. They
set close to the figure and the spread
ing Of the plaits when dancing gives
the requisite freedom Of movement.

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
At THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for foodstuffs
in all parts of the world, and the ex.
pense of producing 1t on high-priced
lands, would make It seem that west.
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There is to be found
the opportunity that will be large
factor in meeting this demand. With
Its millions Of acres of land, easily
cultivatable, highly productive, acces-
sible to railways, and with unexceiled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms In almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and In the course
OF time the bubble was pricked and
was burst. But In no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or In country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas.
katchewan and Alberta have the larg.
est area OF desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being In wheat.
Less than Ave years ago the wheat
crop was only 100000 bushels. It
Is a simple calculation to estimate
that II four per cent Of the available
cultivatable area produces something
over 20O,O00,000 bushels, what will A
per cent. produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 It was 49,149,
10000 being from the United States:
In 1906 it was 1S9,064, of which $1,000
were Americans, and in 1913 1t was
about 100000, of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is a man of shrewd business in.
stincts. just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and Of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there Is the American
capital following the capital Of Drawn,
muscle and sinew. following it so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which 1t has had dealings
for years back. This capital and the
capital Of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up of a
country
Nothing is said Of the great mineral
and forest wealth, Of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders larger
number Of settlers in so short a time,
or has attracted SO much wealth in
period Of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions SO favorable as those that
exist In western Canada today.-Ad-
