WhV Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather!
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. D.

A close connection exists between
these two - cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, OF London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often q copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid In the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, rs in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
Of the double burden. Another reason

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers II you
apply upon the corn few drops of

For little cost one can get small

WESTERN CANADA. LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
42,000,000 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 1915 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 378.OO0,OOO bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011 sos. 900 bushels,
yield Of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
12 bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
842, 2,OOO, 600 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,OOO,OO0 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
bined production Of North and South
America. Canada is of course a 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-
ductiveness 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:

Gilpin observer., 1917-02-01

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 plowing
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
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 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 have
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
ities.
The average yield OF wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 10 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
27 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 Mt over $190 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop ut present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average of
10 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
5000 per acre-some have received
$500, and few even more than that
This price, Of course, is not all profit;
1t represents the gross return, and the
cost Of operation must be deducted
But 1t does not, even at the highest fig.
ures, cost more than 65 cents to raise
a bushel Of wheat in Western Canada,
20 that the profit can be figured accord
ingiy. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $1,000 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 5000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class of ag-
ricultural land, capable Of producing
crops that in sixe compare with any
country In the world except, perhaps,
some European countries. can be OBJ
