WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
OF April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.

few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number OF farm
ers who have gone into the raising of
cattle has been considerably in
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The cult

ing upwards of Is, 900 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold of it.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivatton it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where it has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of a marketable corn
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field of alfalfa, the
growth of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers OF the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers is so we'll known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage Of the splendid gift of 100 acres
of land made by the Government of
the Dominion Of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands of some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
of February a large number of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage of sales made to settlers
in the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who will
take up farming in place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-

WOMEN WORK OUT THE WAR PROBLEM

tainments refreshments are served
only to the performers. From an hour
after lunch until an hour be-
fore dinner the ladies sit and sew
or knit, having paid the small sum
for entrance to the club which covers
the fee Of the musician who sings or
plays for them.
In the evening these same women
will be found with their families gath
cred around them, all hands engaged
in packing the ''Liebesgaben" tokens
OF friendship, which are sent to the
soldiers at the front. Small packages
the government transmits free of
charge, those weighing pound for
two cents. The soldiers get them reg
ularly on Saturday night, these 'Lieb-
esgaben." 1t is as if Christmas came
every week, with the German passion
for giving presents scorning the small
confines of personal acquaintance.
Trainloads of 'Liebesgaben" pass ev-
cry few days through the country to
the seat of war No man is over
looked. If he has no relatives or
friends, their place is taken by kindly
strangers, the women who have yield
ed to the primitive rules of life and
who stand guard in the homes of the
fatherland while the men fight upon
the battlefield
Trades Unions Have No Quarrel.
The trades unions of Germany do
not have to adopt the angry resolu-
tons of those in Great Britain, that
the war which their soldier members
are fighting is becoming the greatest
menace to their work at home, with
the women usurping their places, en-
pioyed at reduced rates. The German
soldiers have no such grievance,

cago that his two pigeons were there.

Maxine FLAGS of Wool,

Flags used in the American navy
have hitherto been made of imported
wool. A new process of carding and
weaving American cotton is being put
to the test on two revenue cutters,
and it is believed by the inventors
that the cotton flags so made will be
superior to the old ones in that they
will not fray so quickly.

Copper Shipped From an Old Spanish

Allamore, Tex.-M. F. FARRELL has

covered near here last Christmas day.
The fact that the skeletons of TWEEN
ty men were found in the long-aban-

that the property was worked by the
Spaniards in the early days and that

When Pere Marquette visited this
