In l9lG the crop was not as heavy,
hut the yields III many districts were
very large. SO large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1918 that
the resulting crop proved too large to- be
all thrcshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
SLOW. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have seen done
In Il less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threShing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scare and high-Driced,
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common With the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that tave
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about l6 bushels
Der acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
81 bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceiyed that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.90. per bushel at the
Great Lakes, a wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average of
l6 bushels per acre, over S3O.OO per
ncre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-some have received
$1,000, and q few even more than that.
This price, of course, Is not all profit
II represents the gross return. ana the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But it does not, even at the h!ghcSt lS-
,,,.os cost more than 90 cents to raise
n hushel of wheat in Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
tnely. 1t must be emphasized that the
mere which produces Il 30.O crop costs
In the first case, probably less than
that In the United States the same
class of lane would cost in many dis
tricts from 500 to 5000 per acre. and
even then Il return of 5000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. ! II

rlcllltural land. capable of producing
crops that in size compare with amy

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
As. WHEAT PRODUCER,
342,0O0,000 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out Of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
Its 1916 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production Of any country on this
continent is a striking fact proved by
The following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro
duced 376,000 900 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
70 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,O11 ,5O5, 600 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1921 900 bushels, or less than
y bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 10 bushels per
acre.
h three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
s42,000,OOO bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,OO0,OOO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
luced considerably more than the COM
Dined production Of North and South
America. Canada is of course q new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much is NO dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population Of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
~1uctivenesS Of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
Ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces Of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department Of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

$50 per acre, with irrigated lands some
what higher. It is no ex~aggeration
whatever to say that a number Of
Western Canadian farmers have paid
for their land entirely from the pro-
ceeds of last years crop. and this in

OUR COMMISSION BILL.


 The form of government of the City of Hot Springs has been changed from a mayoralty and board of alder men. to a commission form of gov. ernment, which anticipates that a 'city manager" shall be secured who shall operate the city on business methods
 The new legislation is very import ant to us. The law was written by the Bar Association of our city. and 1t was approved generally by those who have made study of the new methods as applied to city govern ment.
 An important feature of the legisla- ton is that it nulhfies the primary election that has recently been held here.
 Under this new till five commits. sioners win be named. Four of the commissioners are hears of departt- Inents, and will draw salary of $500 each per year. One of the commis- sioners shall be mayor or chairman of the commission. and shall receive 5000 per year for his services, This board of five men elect a 'eity man ager" twho gets s5000 per year, and who deyates all of his time to luanag- ing city affairs just as the head of a big business institution looks after all the business.
 Under the new law no more cam raigning of the old sort is permitted A candidate for mmissionership may not solicit votes, nor set forth lis views even except when asked questions. He can not spend a dollar in elections, nor can his friends spend money in his behalf.
 The candidates for chairmansliip. ol mayor, are listed and voted on. There may be eight or a dozen candidates The two highes tones in a later cleo ton are the ones the people choose between.
 There may be as many candidates for commisionershirs as people desire to offer for office, but there 0eins but four to be elected. the eight high est candidates alone are offered in thf later elecN0n, and the people may choose fir bm them who they want.
 There fare any number of innova tions inttbis change. which will be SC forth i4 detail laIer. The bill Is ver1 lengthy. and will be engrossed, am then is ready for the signature of th' governor, which will make 1t a law early in next week.
 The new municipal court Is not ii terfered with by the new legislation The people certainly are baking rapi' strides on business principles as ap piled to public affairs. The municipa court would have heeu enough ad vancemeut to have made us proud but the commission form of govern rient, if rye carry out the idea of th election of good business men. vii give us the greatest city administra siou We have ever had, and upbuild ing and progress will be the rule Al we have to do now to complete { greater and grander resort Is to selec the best business men from our rank as the commissioners.
