Not All Grain.
Diversified farming is also getting a
foot-hold near Hope. A herd of 1875 Hol-
stine cattle was recently shipped in
from northern Ohio. The people are
learning the value of stock on the farm
and are starting right by importing
thorough breds.

WHEAT costs

Situation

Washington, d.. c., May 16.-Thc
statistical department of the Argentine
MINISTRY of agriculture has been inves
tigating the cost of production Of
wheat in the southern part of1the Pro-
vince of Buenos Aiqes at distance of
about miles from the railways. The
Argentine measurements and money
do not correspond with those of the
United States but are here reduced to
American standards. The figures Civ
en- out are for a farm of $50 hectares,
or 618 acres, of which 494 acres were
sown to wheat and 124 acres reserved
for pasturagc. The value of farm
buildings was $3.50, farm implements
$3.50, and that of live stock $l,140,
making the total investment exclusive
of land, S2978. The yield of wheat was
about fifteen bushels per acre. This
crop of 1850 bushels was sold at 80
cents per bushel, bringing a total of
S5,945. The expenses were ma,se up as
follows: Rent of land $l,0z0. seed
S415; blowing, narrowing and seeding
$50; reaping $50; binding 1854; cot
tage on farm and stacking S34O; food
during blowing and seeding and har-
vesting sl55; Irvine $3.50; thrcshing
$3.50; bags (3lOO) $3.50; hauling to sta
ton 500; repairs, interest, insurance,
ETC., S645; making a total cost of pro-
duction of S4,875; or sixty-six cents

Efficiency the Slogan.
More efficiency and less waste is now
the cry in this vicinity. This is prov
ell by the concession of the most we'll

large holdings in the vicinity. Many

ing to work smaller holdings more
thoroughly.
Real estate in this locality is valued
at about fifty dollars per acre.

Bits Of History.

In the year 1882 the first stake was
driven on the cite where now stands the
Hope House. On the 28th. of April of
the same year this house was thrown
open to the public, and the city of Hope
had its beginning. This hotel was built
and operated by E.. H. Steele and S.

to the county. The last spike was
driven on the Hope branch of the

understanding of Foster it is well to
remember that his melodies had nott-

great melodists of the old world-Mo
Fart, Beethoven, Handel The fact that
his songs formed the piece de resist

The grain markets commission Of
the Province of Saskatchewan, Can,
has just issued its report for 1913 in
which it reports that from careful in
vestigation of a large number of farms
it appears that the cost of production
of wheat in Saskatchewan is about IS
cents per bushel.
In these two extremes in tn produ:-
ton Of wheat, it will be seen chat the
cost of production is practically the
same, and the. only advantage that Ar
gentinc has is that the source of pro-
duction is much, nearer the seaboard.
