In 1916 the crop was not as heavy.
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
| the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount Of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
in less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essariIy reacted, upon the acreage
seeded in sthe spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced
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 Is bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
q 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-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $190 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would. pay the farmer, even
surprising he had only the average of
I6 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
5000 per acre-scme have received
$500, and few even more than that.
This price, of course, rs not all profit:
it represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But ii does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 60 cents to raise
bushel of wheat in Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. II must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $4,000 crop costs
in the first case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dis
tricts from 500 to $500 per acre, and
even then a return of $1,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class of ag-
ricultural land, capable of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except, perhaps,
some European countries, can be OBJ
tanned at, on the average. from $50 to
| $50 per acre, with irrigated lands some

The President has paid anoth-
er political debt by nominating
Raymond B. Stevens, defeated
Democratic candidate for senator
in New Hampshire, for a five
year term on the Shipping Board,
at a salary of $4,000. What Mr..
Stevens knows about shipping is
not discernjbIe to the ordinary
observer. He is a graduate of
law school, but, not making a
success of his profession, he took
up farming. If confirmed by the
Senate he will endeavor 10 per-
form the duties of his predeces-
sor on the Board, who has given
his whole life to the shipping bu-
siness, owning and operating sew
eral trans Atlantic liners. That
man resigned, however, when he
found that Mr.. McAdoo intended
to dictate the policies of the Ship
ping Board. Doubtless the new
appointee has been made to thor
oughly understand that he is put
on the Board merely TO register
the will of the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t requires no great
familiarity with merchant marine
matters to perform that service.

iatiOn.

Columbus, O., Feb. 9.-'We]
are not striking back to repay an
insult" said Prof. Henry Russell
Spencer of the department ofpo-
htical science of The Ohio State
University, in declaring that he
did not believe diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany were severed
with the idea of giving that coun.
try slap in the face, but we
are too proud to be insulted.
Harm is only done to the one who
gives the insult.
"The United States is not hold
ing up her fist threatening Ger
many. but rather holding her
hands in front of her face telling
Germany that we cannot have
dealings with her until she agrees
to abide by the rules of the game.
We are acting merely as society
doeS.when it ostracises a person. I"
Touching on the possible cours-
es which the government might
pursue in regard to German in
termed ships, which are valued at
several hundred million dollars,
Professor Spencer said that a dis
tinction should be made between
the auxiliary cruisers and mer-
chant vessels. The former would
undoubtedly be seized and used.
and the latter either seized and
owners recompensed or possibly
seized without reimbursement.

net be merely a contest between boys
to raise more corn but to arouse their
interest in letter corn crop. With the
help of the College Of Agriculture and
the school officers, an attempt will be
made to promote hearty co-opera-

munitv problems. PicniCs and other
social gatherings will be arranged for
the boys from time to time where pos

social affairs will be planned.
Included in the list Of rules are the
following provisions:
Each member is to grow at least l

Each member is to do all the work
connected with the preparation OF the
ground for planting, as we'll as with
the planting and cultivation of the
corn, except that which may be deem,
ed beyond his strength.
Each member must keep an accu-
rate record of all labor, cost of seed,
fertilizer and other expenses incurred
in growing and harvesting the acre
of corn.
Current prices, as stated in the
rules, will be charged for seed, rent,
labor and other items of cost.

Eacn member will have an oppor'
tunity to exhibit samples of corn at a
