L. Anderson Smith, writing to a
friend In the Old Country. located at
Killam, Alberta, Says:
Anyone taking up land will find Al
berta an ideal province. The soil is a
rich black loan. varying from 6 to IL
inches in depth. The land here in
this district is not wholly open prairie.
At intervals, sometimes closely, m
times widely scattered, there r
small plots Of poplar and willows.
These generally grow round some
small depression in the land, and the
NOW drifts here in the winter and
melts in the spring filling these
sloughs (province "slews") with soft
water. Nearly all these sloughs have
old buffalo tracks to them, for 1t was
from them that they always got their
water. The poplars are very useful
for building barns and hen-houses.
Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame
grasses, such as timothy, bronze and
western rye grass do remarkably we'll.

 Resolved, thot the short line steam railroads operating in the States of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas most earnestly protest against the enactment of H.

The weight determines the actual mail car ried; also determines what trans portation service Is rendered the Government, and is dependent upon the clerks opinion when it's volume is thus ascertained. It is the very basis upon which the Government accepts it from the public for transportation, even to single letter; also that an ex- elusive space basis would give the employees of the Post Office Department absolute control over

There is a growing evidence

almost to jealousy iii the handI-

That there may not be unjust
imposition on the federal govern
ment it provides that cry
dollar of federal money provided
for this purpose may be match
ed by another appropriated by
the state. Moreover, the money
thus provided has to be handled
in each state through agricultur-
al colleges. No state will be
able to draw it's allotment of the
national money until it shall
have made provision for its own
share. This plan seems fair e.
nough, but yet it is declared
that "the south will get he
best of it" And why? Simply
because the south has already
made greater success in following
the leadership of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture's program
for improvement of the farm
than any other section of the
country. We are accustomed TO

great movement toward the

to confirm the belief that the
west has prospered to such an
extent that it is rather lofty in
its attitude toward "book farm

south has frankly admitted that
it has been cropping i'll the dark
and it wants to learn. This is
one thing in which the south
might be well initiated by the
rest of the country, and this is
especially true of the region east
of the Alleghanies and north of
