The Alberta Tribune


tatives of the district, felt that the
schools efficiency this year was far
superior to that of any other year.
For the first time in the history of
the school has nearly an entire term
of school been closed without a single
complaint from the patrons of the
school. This is remarkable, to say
the least. 1t is quite evident that
the teachers manse has attracted the
very best teaching force to the school
from which the people of Alberta are
now reaping the splendid harvest of
dren. The people of this district feel
grateful to the teachers of our school
this year, for the boys and girls are
getting along this year as never be-
fore.
None of the teachers have as yet
accepted for next year. All of them
have attractive offers from other
schools. 1t is quite possible that the
principal of the school, Mr.. Grafel-
man, might leave this year, after
having served the people of this
school for six years in building up
the school to it's present dimensions
and reputation. What is especially
gratifying to each teacher of the
school is the fact that every teacher
has been unanimously reelected at
the above increase.
Next week the school will take it's
spring or Easter vacation. School
sessions will begin again on Monday,
April 1.
Miss Hale, the home training
teacher, left Wednesday morning to
attend the graduation of her sister,
who has just finished her course in a
school for nurses at st. Paul. Miss
Minnie Loher, a graduate of the
Alberta high school, is acting as
substitute in departmental work in
the school.

seeded to that crop It, Of course, is
not wise from the standpoint of the
individual farmer to SOW wheat on
land that will produce q materially
better crop Of something else or SOW
wheat on a farm not equipped to ham
die the crop economically.
Prices and Profits.
The $217 per bushel guaranteed
price for 1918, is high enough to
make the growing Of wheat decidedly
profitable with a fair crop. 1t would
seem, in view Of this fact that the
outlook for raising wheat on good
wheat land is as promising as the
outlook for any other crop and be-
sides this, the patriotic appeal to
furnish bread for the millions who
need it, is very strong. It is doubt
full il the farmers of the Northwest
can make greater contribution to
their country, or to humanity gener-
ally, than to grow wheat
Wheat Looks Most Surely Profitable.
It is the opinion of Andrew Boss,
Vice Director of the Minnesota, Elk
pertinent Station, that wheat looks
like the most surely profitable grain
crop this year. He states: "The high
price of oats and barley at the pres
e1lt time, however, is likely to bring
an increased acreage of these crops at
the expense of the wheat crop. Farm
ers will do well to consider the pos
sibilities of profit from these crops
before changing the acreage materi-
ally. The average yield of wheat in
Minnesota for the last 10 year per-
iod was 1876 bushels an acre, at $500
a bushe1, which is about the price
that the average Minnesota farmer can
expect to net for this years crop, this
would bring a return Of $27.00 an acre.
The average yield of oats for the same
period was 30.8 bushels. To bring
$27.00 an acre, oats would need to sell
at 879 cents bushe1 this year. The
average yield OF barley for the same
10 year period was 1915 bushels. To
bring $27.00 an acre, barley would need
to sell at $1.14 bushel. While oats
are bringing something over 80 cents
now, and barley. is much higher, than
$1.14, it is not probable that present
prices will be maintained if a normal
crop Of the small grains Is secured.
especially if corn should prove to be
a good crop. That is why wheat looks
the most surely profitable grain crop.
Barley and oats must compete with
corn as a feed crop. Farmers will
prefer to feed corn. II It Is available.
The consequence will be that barley
and oats will shrink In price more
quickly than wheat. Corn probably
would be keener competitor for

MORE WHEAT IS
GOOD BUSINESS
State Food Administration Issues
Call for Larger Acreage Both
for Profit and Patriotism

The Federal Food Administration
for Minnesota is issuing a call for a
larger acreage Of spring wheat. It
makes the following statement Of
world needs the basis for the call:
The United States, Canada, and the
Allies ENGLAND, Frar ce, Italy and Bel
gium) in 1917 produced 400,000,000
bushels less wheat than they needed
Shipping is so limited and so badly
needed for other products that wheat
cannot be brought from more distant
points where there is surplus such
as Argentina, Australia and India. This
has made very rigid economy in the
use of wheat necessary. It is not likely
the Allies can produce more in 1918
than in 1917 because their, production
has continually decreased since the
war began so that in 1917 they pro-
duced 150,000,000 bushels less than
their average production for five years
before the war. If they produce as
much in 1918 as in 1917 they will need
to import between $4,000, 900 and $780,
100000 bushels to supply normal de-
mands. The United States is about
$500 miles from England and France:
Argentina is about $500 miles dis
tant; India is about 10000 miles away;
and Australia 1880 miles It is evil
dent then that if there is any scar
city of ships, the more wheat surplus
we have in the United States the
better it will be for ell concerned
The Outlook In the United States.
In 1917 the United States produced
about 650,000,000 bushels with a sur.
plus of about 100000 bushels above
own needs. In 1917 the winter
wheat belt produced 418.00O,o00 BUSH
els and the spring wheat belt pro-
duced 232,000,000 bushels. The out
look for winter wheat last December
I indicated a probable yield of $780,
600, 900 bushels. 1t may be more, or
less. At any rate much more
spring wheat will be needed than can
be produced SO that every acre of land

Of the Somme front are continually
being pressed forward slightly day by

counter attacks on the new British
positions for three days.
In addition to intensive bombing
and shelling of vital points within
the enemy lines, the British have
begun throwing gas projectiles at vari-
Gus places. A considerable number
were thrown into Bray this morn
ing in the hope of getting at Ger
mans hiding in cellars and dugouts
from the avalanche of shells which
now and then fall there. This har-
assing apparently is serving to lower
the already low German morale.

from the Aisne northwestward of an

seems to be in the course of forna-

this is due to American pride, which
