HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

II is no new experience for settlers
located in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices. to
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt-
eddy this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over a period OF years. He got the
land into a good state of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that It only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price Of 1t; i'm short
a single years crop paid the cost OF
the land, paid all the expenses of OPP
Grafton and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will AS
sure him good living irrespective OF
what the season may happen to be.
Canadas financial position is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on a cash
hacic with ,actr;nta1 nra1;t
Detailed figures of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in com
merce with the United States. A
couple Of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth OF
goods more than she exported The
balance Of trade was all with the
Unite States. The balance is rapid
ly disappearing, and the present ont
look is that by the end OF this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States NOR than she has I'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:
Exports. Imports.
1912 .......$145,721.6 $50 $412,657, 022
1913 ........ 179,050,796 442,341,s4O
1914 ........ 213.493.406 421,074,52S
1915 ........ 314,118,774 346.569,9c4
-Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
OF trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions. and this
year, the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. It
looks as If for the first time in nearly
half a century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americans

To some, Of course, such a fate Is
more or less inevitable under the best

To care for the plants that have come

probably have been given sufficient
fertilizer to last for some time, and
therefore that particular want need not

St. Nicholas
And Christmas

~HE origin OF the idea that rres-
cnts are presented at Christmas

following circumstances: 81. Nicho.as
h said TO have been bishop o! Myra
and to have died in the year :'-h lie
WIS noted f0r his fondncSS for chll-
drcn, and he became their patron saint,
and the young were universally taught
to revere him. He is said TO have sup
piled three destitute families whitman
riagc portions By secretly leaving mon
ey at their windows, and as tbs oc-
CURED just before Christmas he thus
became purvcyor Of the gifts OF the
season to all children in Flanders and
Holland. who hung up their shoes and
stockings in the confidence that knecht
Globes. as -hcy called him, would put
in a prize for good conduct.
Formerly, and still in some parts or
Germany, the practice is made OF all
