INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
VIII Prove a Big Factor In Win
nina the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year wei
last year. The splendid open fall Of
1917, gave a better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until the end OF November. In fact, In
the nelghborhood OF Pincher Greek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January Of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of II. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came Into possession OF the land at
prices varying from $500 to $1,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre. with a
get price OF 1921 a bushel, they could
Join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin OF profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash, gives a very conservative state
ment Of the agricultural development
and opportunities In Western Canada.
In Its issue OF December II, 1917, II
says -
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according TO
the reports Of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
mp Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said of wheat
culture as a profitable ~avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning of
the war II has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price Of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product Mt his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
~ to % bushels 10 the acre. Even
the minimum crop, ut SO per bushel,
brings In these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelllgently for results
on the right side Of the ledger. II has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries. but when the pioneers settled
down to business II was generally
corn. hogs. cattle and diversified farm
Ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas In turn. as their prnIrles
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid Off
the mortgages with corr and hogs.
"War is thus bringing n temporary
encouragement TO wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sass
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to 100000 in the banks last fall.
II may he pointed out, however, thar
the growing OF wheat is not the only
inducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms Of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement Of the fer
tile lands Of Western Canada ."-Ad-
vertlsement.

KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROP

The normal acreage Of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be

department OF agriculture be-

In view OF the necessity OF re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used OF the p%erishable

through It's extension and pubil-
cation activities, Is encouraging
their grenter use. especially the
use OF the Irish potato, rs n par

U. S. FOOD FACTS

Sugar certificates no longer will be

Other sugar orders for the week are
as follows:
Powdered sugar may now be placed
on sale, the housewife receiving her
share along with the bakers and
manufacturers.
Farmers may now secure supplies
needed in both white and brown sugar
for the home curing of meat products.

The need of condensed milk abroad
is reported, officially, to be extreme
ly pressing. There is a shortage OF
feed and fodder throughout Europe
and the dairy products have been SER
iously curtailed. It is expected that
Europe will require butter and con-
densed milk from America in large
quantities for some years to come.
Condensaries may now receive their
normal requirements of sugar and
new condensaries may be opened.
Farmers of the United States are
asked to prepare for furnishing the
great quantities of milk that will be
required by condensaries already in
existence and those to be built.

that they are in perfect harmony, for
if not the result would be calamity.
For instance a very attractive color
combination would be dark blue
blouse worn over rose madden which
would give the effect of violet. Great
care must be exerted and much con-
sideration given to the complexion of
the wearer: These heavy colors are
trying to wear, that is, more trying
than the pasted shades, and unless
one studies ones possibilities most
disastrous result is bound to ensue.
More Novelty Wells.
Many new meshes and designs in
Wells are shown. The supply never
seems to quite satisfy the demand for
those most popular accessory of the
wardrobe. Apropos of Wells one sees
the veil pins. These things are pretty
little articles and one would be sur
prised what an attractive trimming
they make for hat. They are worn
almost exclusively on small turbans
and toques.
Two Excellent House Dresses.
The housewife must never be ne
elected and therefore I am showing
two desirable designs for dresses that
she may wear while performing her
many duties at home. The first one
is developed in checked gingham; and
the belt and pockets which are in one,
being connected by the back belt, are
of contrasting material. The sec
ond is perhaps a little more dressy
and could be donned after the heavy
labor has been done.
