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
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
tiles.
The average yield OF wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
% 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 S190 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average of
16 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 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 it does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 65 cents to raise
a bushel OF wheat in Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 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 $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

Comedy in the Trenches.

Captain Ian Hay Beth, addressing

the following story to illustrate his
statement that life in the trenches had
it's moments of comedy:
"There were two friends in separate
bays of the trench. Whenever shell
burst near by one would cry out, Are
you all right, Bill?' and the answer
would come back, sYes, I'm all right.
After this had happened several times
the second man cried out: Yes, I'm
all right, but what's the excitment
about?' Then the first one answered:
The men over here have gotten up q
sweepstake on-who's going to Be hit
next, and I've drawn you"

What Slim Fein Actually Means.

What Sim Fem Actually Means.
s. The question often arises, '*What is
Sim Feiner?" and at this particu-
lar time it will porve Of interest to our
readers to quote the definition of
Francis p. Jones in his "History of
the Sim Fein Movement and the Irish
Rebellion in 1876"
The Sim Fein was not secret oath
bound society, and had no relation to
plans or schemes for revolution. No
doubt but that many Sim Feiners
were revolutionists in spirit and act,
and equally so there were many Sim
Feiners opposed to revolution by force.
OF itself, the movement might be
termed patriotic political economy, and
for unselish aims coupled with pa
triotic purpose has not had it's equal
in modern times. Indeed, it was more.
It was altruistic in it's projected ser
vice to country and humanity, and it's
spirit is expressed in free transla-
iation of it's title, "For Ourselves"
The bedrock of the Sim Fein policy,
which embraces every phase Of Irish
national life and activity, may fitting
~ Uc Suluuleu up Ill Iuc 1OllOW1uS
words:
National selfgevernment secured
through the recognition Of the duties
and rights of citizenship on the part
Of the individual, and with the aid and
support of all movements originating
from within Ireland for the accom-
plishment of their aims. $3.50
This was the policy outlined at the
First National council convention, held
at the Rotunda, in Dublin, on Tuesday,
Nov. 18, 1905, under the presidency Of
Edward Martyn, at which the pro-
gram of the men who later became
known as the Sim Feiners was pro
mulgated by Arthur Griffith.
The first basic principle Of the, Sim
Fein policy is that the Irish are free
people, and must possess the rights of
free people until, of their own free
will, they renounce them. A glance at
the history Of Ireland shows conclus-
lively that this remuneration has never
yet been made.
If we accept this principle of gov
eminent only with popular consent,
we are forced also to accept it's neces-
sary corollary, namely, that any ex-
ternal power that attempts to control,
or does actually or by force control,
the free actions of people, is tyr
amy. We are also forced to accept
the further principle that it is the first
duty OF the citizen to oppose and seek
to end that tyranny. Such may we'll
be termed the Sim Fein philosophy.
