Ocean Floor Is to Be Explored.

The land surface of the globe has been
pretty thoroughly explored and mapped,
but as yet we know little of that part Of
the earth forming the ocean floors. When

of tracts in hat one ocean larger than the
United States that are entirely unfath-

the great southern ocean, a vast belt OF
water o the earth, and south OF that

earth. that have scarcely been sounded.
The ocean floor is going to be explored

his proposal met with unanimous APP

1t will be a tremendous undertaking,
for the Pacific is 1850 miles from north

its widest place, and, as Professor Davis
pointed out, even In that northern part
of the Pacific which has been explored

only a single line of soundings at inter-

The greatest known ocean depth is in

the water Is six miles deep. No vegeta-

there. No place has been found too deem
for fishes and various forms of animal
life; but they are not like many fishes one
sees near the surface; they have grotesque
shapes and they are always dead when

ocean floors. for 1t often takes 10 hours

OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE MISSED
My Wait? Why Not Go to West.
ern Canada NoW2


The writer has frequently heard the
remark that ''after the war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not oc-
cur to those making the remark that IL
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There is no
question about what the land in Mani
toba, saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what it will give under proper cul-
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay.
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be CLEANED
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
'In the spring Of 1916 a half-section
of land was offered for sale at $17.00
per acre. There were los acres Of
summer-fallow, which. because the
owner could not at the time find q
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
Of 40 bushels per acre, 4,2oO bushels
all told, grading No. 1, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early I'm the season,
before grain prices advanced. to round
about $1,000 was $k60, which brought
the handsome total Of s $4,000. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $17.O0
equals $4,000. so that a buyer, by
placing less than half Of the whole
under crop, would have made q profit
of 1,28O.OO."-Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
''That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses as well as make a
handsome profit, Is the Information
given by N. b. Davis, the manager.
The wheat yield was oyer $4,000 bush

over 1000 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to In

"Oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
In last spring, for $3,SOO.OO, has
threshed $500 bushels Of wheat, which
Is worth at present prices about

aid, L~ethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop of many farmers in West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
: Coblenz, Sask.-W. A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels per
acre and SO bushels of oats.
Glelchen, Alberta.-Up to date 237,-
S12 bushels of grain have been received
by local elevators, of which nearly
10000 bushels were wheat. Seventy
one cars of grain have already been
shipped.
I Stoop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed 5,400 bushels of grain,
1000 bushels of which were wheat,
grading No. 1 Northern. One field
averaged Al bushels per acre, and n
large field of oats averaged S3 bushels.
