Teddy Gleason and H. A. Bryan, two prospectors, arrived in town re- gently from the scene of the newest placer excitement in the Panama valley, the find made in what is known as the Toklat country which is contiguous to the Kantishna country. They state that they know nothing new to report except that pay prospects have been found there, although none of the pros pectors have reached bedrock. There are but very few people there at the present time as the district is a hard one to reach. The scene of the new find, which was firfist reported at Me- mana by Fred Houselman. who is said to have taken s1.00O in gold out dur Ing the late fall is on Moose creek. which is about 125 miles from Nenana, according to the two recently arrived prospectors.
 The shaft sunk by Houselman is re- ported to be about twenty-two feet deep. But like Gleason and Grant and other prospectors, he did not find bed

the plant to grow most vigorously, and,

Vigorous Seed
The fundamental. good growing con-

All planting seed must have strong
vitality to germinate and grow rapidly.
Seed should also be Of q a,yariety adapt

for either one Of these may very ma
tertally effect the yield Of the crop.
Good Seed Bed
Conditions required in the soil for
best plant growth, and biggest acre
returns from fertilizers used, are a
good, we'll prepared, finely pulver1zed
seed bed. 1t should be mellow and
firm, so as to enable the roots to
penetrate freely and deeply In search

must be employed SO as to destroy
weeds and retain soil moisture.
II the preceding conditions are sat
fsfactory for plant growth. then, and
not till then, are crops able to make
%he most efficient use Of plant foods
within their reach. II any one of
these unfavorable conditions exist, a
plant cannot fully utilize the foods
supplied in fertilizers. Under good
growing conditions fertilizers are used
very profitably, proof Of which is fur
nished by thousands of farmers all
over the South. Fertilizers contain
genuine plant food. and, of course,
have a marked beneficial influence
when applied in sufficient quantity,
and the plants are otherwise given a
fair chance. The question now is,
Are you striving to so improve your
soil conditions that you may utilize
the value Of fertilizer to the fullest
extent?

Agronomist And unless some
provision is made for restoring and
then maintaining production, low
yields and improbable returns will
continue to be the result. One can
not draw money from a bank unless
he has friends there. Neither can the
plant draw upon the soil and get the
necessary food elements if the soil
does not contain them.
Plan For Good Yields Every Year
Every farmer should adopt for his
Iend system OF farming that will
give him good yields continually year
after year. II this is done. he must
iced the plants; for plants, like ami
mails, must feed to grow. While plants
require some ten or more elements
Tor their growth, all, except three,
are supplied In abundance in most
soils. The three elements not supplied
abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash. All these are generally
deficient in most southern soils, and.
therefore. have to be supplied in some
commercial form to get profitable
yields.
For farmer to get the largest acre
returns from his investment in fer
tilizers, it is necessary for him to
know something Of the conditions un-
der which fertilizers may be used most
effectively. He naturally asks: "Un-
der what conditions will fertilizers
prove most profitable?"
Fertilizers are used primarily to sup
ply one or more plant foods without
which crops will not be profitable.
But there are conditions other than
plant foods that may influence growth.

EXCELLENT RETURNS FROM THE CANADIAN
 WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming Rich on Western Canada
 Lands.

The large number of United States settlers coming to the Western prov inces of Canada are easily explained by the case of Mir. c. Lacy, late of Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
 Mir. Lacy came to Canada from Wis consin in the summer of 1914 with S1 800 available cash in his possession. He rented a half-section of partly i'm proved land in Alberta and commenced summer following. He broke 300 acres with oats, 20 with barley. and 26O with wheat. Also he had two COWS and 20 head of young live stock. He was for tunate in buying feed at a bargain and managed to rent the adjoining quarter section as pasture.
 A few weeks ago he decided to real ize his profts-and they amounted to S6,O00 absolutely clear from the crop and the stock.
 W. J. Wlnstead, of Brooks, Alberta, says:
 "I landed in Brooks, March 18th, 1916, with one car of household effects, and nine head of good horses. and less than $500 in cash. I have put S1,JOO worth of Improvements on my farm. I have 3l head of cattle, 16 head of horses, debts all paid, a new automo- bile, and good, stiff bank account. At present prices, can cash in for S16,O00. I am well satisfied, and ex- pect to double this next year.
 I have threshed altogether 1000 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from two hundred acres. which went from 2i to 56 bushels per acre.
 Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all No. Northern, two thousand bushels of oats, 670 bushels of flax. TOO bush els of barley-all at market prices well. figure this out for yourself at the market price. sold 3.1OO bushels of wheat at S1.747s, am holding the re- mainder for s2OO.

 In 1914 Mir. Wattie threshed 40 bash- els to the acre from a 30-acre crop.
