tanned at, on the average, from $50 to
$50 per acre, with irrigated lands some
what higher. 1t is no exaggeratior
whatever TO say that a number OF
Western Canadian farmers have paid
for their land entirely from the pro-
ceeds of last years crop, and this in
cludes men who last year began for the

The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1917-02-02

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 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
81 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 S1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average Of
| 10 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
mere. 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 !;
II represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But Il does not, even at the highest fig
ures. cost more than 60 cents to raise
n bushel of wheat In Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces $4,000 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 return of $4,000 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

HEROES, EVERY ONE

Ten bluejackets of the crew of the
United States revenue cutter Yama-
craw went to their deaths off Ocean
City, Md, Sunday night, heroes,
every one. They jumped to man life
boats when ordered to make des-
perate effort in a raging sea to res
cue the crew of the tanker Louisiana,
stranded on Little Gulf Shoals. Two
of the three boats sent out were
swamped, and ten of the eleven men
at their oars went down in the
smother.
Worst Of all, the sacrifice turns out
to have been for nothing. The gale
blew over, and the Louisiana stuck
together. AT a time when every sea-
man the country can muster may be
needed at any hour the loss of this
heroic ten is felt most keenly. They
were made of the sort of stuff that is
required to assert and maintain
American rights on the seas.

This is a startling statement but

What Bishop Lawrence says is just

expenditures of all sorts, to set a
pace so near their income that
when they reach forty-flve or
