BIG INCREASE OF
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ity branch of the provincial eepart-
lnent show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite third of the pro-
vince was affected by the drought to
very serious extent. the total value
OF agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that OF the previous year Al
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally, the province as
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity. due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen.
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop.
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1,147,3S2 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397.117 bushels. or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of soc
per bushel, these yielded a revenue of
$17,19S,55S- Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short of one million BUSH
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15.102,0S3 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value OF
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20. 3S7,s12. The total production OF
barley was 7,S47 $40 bushels, which, at
55c per bushel, yielded a revenue OF
S4,316, 202.
Other productions were as follows:
261,s43 bushels, s196, 1872 90; speltz. Az
TOT bushels. s32 100000; hay, 100000
tons, 81, 500, 900; potatoes, four million
bushels, So, 900, 900; turnips, three mill
lion bushels, $75O,0OO; carrots, $50, 00Os
bushels, 1920. 900; animals slaughtered
and sold. s20.000.0O0; butter and
cheese, s1,500.000; milk, s3.000,000:
wool clip, 100000 pounds. 100000;
fish, s195,0OO; game and furs. $780,
900; horticultural products, $4,000:
poultry and products, $2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as SIS, SIG, 1871, as COM
pared with $5S,O9S,0 S4 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110.044.-
$50, this being an increase of $7.762,-
S45 over the previous year. There
were 609, 125 horses, 750,7s9 swine.

ASKS FOR A FEDERAL PROBE
Governor Capper Wants Government
to Investigate Conditions in the
Kansas Coal Fields.

+ Joseph H. Holmes, chief of the bu-
reau of mines at Washington, has
been asked by Governor Capper to in
vestigate Immediately coal mining con-
ditions in southeastern Kansas. The
governor wired Chief Holmes as fol-
lows:
Complaint has been made to me by
representatives of the coal miners of
southeastern Kansas that mining con-
ditions there are bad; that the clos
ing down of mines has deprived more
than 5000 men of employment. The
situation is serious. 1 will appreciate
it if you or representative of your
bureau will come Immediately and
make thorough investigation with
view to determining if anything can
be done to relieve the situation
The miners out of work are becom-
ing restless. They asked the COVER
nor several days ago to make 2 thor
ough investigation. He decided that
both miners and operators, however.
would have more confidence in a re-
port made by the federal bureau of
mines
Some mines have closed down for
the summer, and the operators of 9TH
ers are getting out strip coal with
steam shovels, so there are more idle
miners than ever.
