will heed. We look to see these
graduates make names in the world.
The scholarship medal was won by
Carr Lovelace. On Saturday night
the general literary program, con-
sisting of dialogues, recitations songs,
ETC., was given. The coon song by
four boys, Howard Stamp, Herbert
Stevenson, Claude Morris and Leslie
Wallis, "Cheer Me Up, Honey was
the hit of the evening. They were
given an encore and entertained the
audience for some time. They would
do we'll with a minstrel show. We

Costs SO Cents a Bushel to
Raise Wheat in Saskatchewan.

American wheat growers and farm
ers viii be interested in a report of a
commission appointed by the govern
ment of Saskatchewan s'to examine
into the ways and means for better
ing the position of Saskatchewan
grain in the European markets." In
cident to this investigation the com
mission looked into the cost of pro-
duciHg wheat under present condi-
tions in that province of Canada. The
wheat producers of various sections
of the United States will be interest
ed to know that under present condi-
tions the cost of producing wheat as
determined by the commission is re-
ported to be 55 cents per bushel on
the farm and So cents per bushel f. o.
b. cars at country points. According
to the report, the cost of production
has increased 1916 per cent since
1909, while, on the other hand, the
price of wheat to the saskatchewan
farmer has decreased from 81 and
one-fifth cents per bushel in 1909
to Sc and one eighth cents per bushel
in 1918, leaving a net return, on this
basis, of 4 and one-eighth cents per
bushel to the farmer.
1t is possible that the interesting
figures which have been developed
by the grain commission will account
for the fact that a large number OF
American farmers who have, in re-
cent years, left the States to engage
in farming in this territory, are now
asking for a certificate which permits
the return OF household effects to the
United States. If the economic situa-
ton suggested in the above state
ment is not the cause, perhaps it may
be found in the long and rigorous
winters characteristic of this section
as compared with those in the lead
ing farming districts of the States.

U. s. Warns Against Alleged Hog
Cholera Cures.

WAsHINToN, D. O., June LIST. Evil
dence of what appears to be a well
organized campaign to delude farm
ers throughout the country into buy
ing an alleged cur for hog cholera,
under the impression that this has
been investigated and approved by
the United States Government, has
reached the Department of Agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medicine,
Benetol by name, are being sent out
widespread to newspapers. These
articles are SO worded that it appears
as if the Department of Agriculture
had received reports from the state
of Minnesota showing that the medi-
cine had proved most beneficial.
AS a matter of fact the one re-
port receiyed by the Department was
an unofficial and unsolicited statement
sent presumably from the promoters
themselves. The Department at
taches no Importance whatsoever to
this statement. 1t has no reason tc
believe in the efficiency of any pro-
prietary cure for hog cholera an6
does not recommend any. Under GER
tain conditions it urges farmers tc
protect their stock with anti-hog-
cholera serum, but that is all.
In connection with this attempt il
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs
was advertised some time ago as {
meanssof killing tuberculosis typhoid
and cancer germs, according to al
article published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. A,
that time it was asserted that thu
Army was interested in it. AS a mat,
ter of fact the Army was no more in
terested then than the Department O
Agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that thu
attempt to create this false impression
is persistent and widespread, all hoI
owners are warned to communicate
with the United States authorities be
fore accepting as true any statemen
that the Government recommend
any treatment other than the SERUM
already mentioned.
