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
won in a hard contest for the oat
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 a 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. It 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 1913, 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
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
~ to 4S pounds to the bushel, and
with yields of from go to 100 bush
pei 1SACs w mat dASO OOGS MClAs
grades high, and yields from 80 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 a 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.-Advertise

Artists 5000 Years AGO.

Man began to be an artist subse-
quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 years ago." said Prof George
Grant MacCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
"At least that is the time the funda-
mentals first appear. Therefore, man
was an artist before he was a maker
of hieroglyphics. He produced objects
of beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts
THE cave artist was practically
without an artistic background, but
climatic, faunal and other environ
ment played no important part in the
origin of troglodite art. The models
were game animals, and ran largely
to profiles, for the cave artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures, but
was long in acquiring composition"

Sacramento, Cal. March 19.-In a
report to the war department in Wash
ingron Adjutant General Forbes OF the
National Guard of California has Off
cially recognized an alleged plan OF
General" Kelley's unemployed army
to seize the federal arsenal at Rock
Island, ILL.,, in order to equip an army
of 100000 men with arms and ammuni-
tion for revolution.
General Forbes report is based on
one made to him by Lieut.. Franklin
Grimes of a Sacramento company OF
the state guard, who Joined Kelley
army as a hobo several days ago while
acting as spy on behalf of his CHIEF.
Lieutenant Grimes with a wealth
of detail told how he had gained the
confidence of the leaders OF the un-
employed, who divulged to him their
plot for capturing the United States
government There was TO be a gath
ering of many armies at Chicago, 40
cording to Grimes, the men reaching
that city as best they might, The
leaders, according to the militia spy,
believed they could assemble 500.O0O
men at Chicago. Then, moving In
force. they would attack and capture
the arsenal.
Railroads out of Chicago would be

and the unemployed force, well
armed, would be rushed toward Wash

the federal government at its mercy
There would then spread nation
wide rebellion OF workingmen against
employers OF labor. which would de-
pose all civil and military authorities,
and install the army's leaders as su-
preme.
Grimes declared his informants as
serted the movement was being con
Quoted from the east. and that Kel-
ley's force was but one small unit In
the whole Among many other re-
markable statements was one that the
leaders were relying on the support
OF a large Canadian contingent,

employed. laughed when he learned OF
the report by Lieutenant Grimes.

would never countenance such actions
as Grimes asserts the unemployed
contemplated" he said. There were
a number of drug users we could not
get rid Of and It is probable Grimes
got in with this element"
Only a handful OF irreconcilables

deadly effect by a very few men,
while the strategic position OF the
island is such that its capture would
be next to impossible.
