PATRIOTIC WORKERS
AT COLD SPRINGS

The ladies of Cold Springs have
organized a sewing circle to do
what sewing they can for the Red
Cross, and already have made a num-
Der of bath robes, shoulder wraps
and sheets. Besides the sewing they
have undertaken other phases of the
work, as collecting of ~jellies, jams
and preserves, which will be sent to
the Base hospitals. This part of the
work was done by Mrs. Tom Uldrick,
Mrs. w. R. Ellis and Miss Florence
Price.
Mrs. ]. D. Winn has charge Of
the hospital garments. These ladies
deserve much credit for the work
they are doing.
The young ladies of the same Sec
ton have formed a sewing circle
also, under the leadership of Miss
Bessie Uldrick and are busy making
handkerchiefs for the soldiers.
Other communities would do we'll
to follow their example, for u boys
are offering their service, and they
will need our help.

LAND SALES.

The prices brought by the several
tracts of land sold by the officers OF
court on yesterday show that the
advice we gave prospective home
seekers sometime ago was sound.
Lands in the Honea Path section
sold for se~venty-fve dollars per
acre for all cash. A tract in the
Martins Mill section sold for thirty
dollars per acre Twenty years age
when a nan paid twenty-five dollars
per acre for land within two miles
of Abbeville people thought he had
paid a fancy price.
The high price of cotton is hav'
ing something to do with present
nrices of course, because the people
have more money with which to be-
gin the paying process. But the PEG
ple who are buying are not expect
ino cotton to remain at present
prices. They are buying land be
aus they know that they will mo-
be able to buy it in a year or two
at the present prices.
A few days ago we were in Green
wood and we were informed tina
the people were buying lands more
generally than in a long while, ant
that prices were at unheard of fig
ures. Buying is going on here a
home too, and the prices will con
stsntly go up. Ten years from to

day, ever five years from today, peo-
pie will wonder why they did not
buy lands at present prices.
The young man on the farm has
a better opportunity today than his
brothers in the other callings. The
opportunities are better. If he
would profit by what is offered him
he will purchase good lands at pres
ent prices and not wait for a further
advance.

ter than red ones. Even gray and
fox squirrels are occasionally trouble
some, 1t is not necessary, however,
that bird lovers should wage indis-
criminate warfare against all squir-
rels. It is far better to adopt the rule
never to kill squirrel unless there is
reason to believe that 1t has acquired
the habit of eating eggs or young
birds; the result will probably be that
not more than one red squirrel in fifty
nor more than one gray squirrel in a
hundred will have to be killed. Where
squirrels are numerous they give more
or less trouble by gnawing and disfig-
uring houses. This damage may be
prevented, however, by covering the
parts about the entrance with tin or
zinc.

CARE OF BIRD HOUSES; GUARD

Each spring before birds return

pancy, houses are likely to contain CO.

Rreathina Exercises.

When you take breathing exercises,
are you filling your lungs too full?
Breath control is the thing to seek
for, not the crowding of your lungs full
Of air.
The latter simply distends the lung
surface; makes extra cells, and then
you have to keep on stretching your
lungs in order to keep those cells
clean! 1t is the same principle as
overdeveloping muscles; you develop
more muscle than you need and then
you have to take extra exercise to
keep it in trim.
Never stretch your lungs. If you
have already done it, you cannot undo
it, but it will correct itself after a
time if you quit stretching. Breathe
easily. Fill your lungs just moderately
full, keep on practicing until you can
always breathe without CLOSING the
trapdoor." If you have trouble with the
epiglottis closing, you may be sure that
you fill your lungs entirely too full.
Put all of your attention on breathing
easily, rhythmically, holding the breath
moment and then exhaling slowly
through the nostrils. Take pains to
make the exhalation fully as long as
the inhalation.
believe in exhaling through the nos
trils for all ordinary breathing pur-
poses, because I believe in breath con-
troll and not in lung stretching. Most
of the control comes from the slow ex-
haling.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342, 100000 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
It's 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376,O00,0O9 bushels of wheat,
90 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011, sos 900 bushels,
yield Of IL bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1922, 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or Ii bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
S42, 100000 bushels out Of the total Ca
madam 376,OO0,OOO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is Of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much is no dis
enlargement. 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
q. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

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. It 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 1915. 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 $1.9O per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average of
18 bushels per acre, over $4,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-some have received
$500, and a few even more than that
This price, OF course, is not all profit:
