INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
win Prove a Big Factor in Win.
ming the War,

Reports to hand indicate that West.
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall Of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
plowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until the end Of November. In fact, In
the neighborhood Of Pincher Greek,
Alberta,s there was sufficient ' mild
weather in January Of this year to
permit farmers to plow, and many
took advantage Of It. 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 5000
an acre. and with the proven yields
of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with q
set price Of 1921 a bushel, they could
Join production and patriotism to-
gether with n big margin of profit.
The Post-Intelllgencer 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, It
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
up 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 1t 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 at his granary.
Average crops. according to the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
10 to 25 bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel.
brings In these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently 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 1t was generally
corn. hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the DakOtaS in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaCed the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid off
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War IS thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
500 900 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
1t may be pointed out. however, that
the growing of wheat is not the only
induCempnt 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

Lucille called q meeting to discuss
ways and means.
First Of ALL" she said, when the
supply boat comes today we'll make
them take back every edible thing they
have brought, together with what we
have on hand, so that we won't be
tempted. Isn't it lucky our cottage is
on an island all by itself so that it
won't be possible for one of us to cheat
by going to hotel somewhere"
Don't you think it would be a great
er victory for us If we conquered the
demon food with some supplies within
easy reach?" l suggested, with a pain
full recollection of the supply boat
which came oily twice a week, but car
ried delicacies OF which Lucullus never
dreamed.
mo, it's best to take no chances"
There's the motor boat anyway. We
could run over to the mainland"
mo, we couldn't" Lucille smiled.
Father is the only one who can run
it, and he won't he here until Sunday"
Thus another ray Of sunlight flicker
ed out. A man of my build does not
crank up a marine engine located near
the floor Of a boat. l might say he
could not, but 1t Is truer to say that
he does not. If he is the least bit wise
he does not even try it.
"I'll give the maid a week off," Lu-
cile continued gayly. "As we're not 60
ing to cat anything we shall not really
need her, and she has been wanting to
so home for some time. I'll let her
go back with the supply boat. Well
begin our fasting tomorrow by going
without breakfast"
She consulted the magazine again.
Eve have to drink plenty of good, pure
water and think high thoughts all the
time, and we'll hardly notice the ab-
senCe of food at all. Then next Mon
day we'll break our fast by drinking
the juice of an orange and eating
handful of popcorn, just one handful
so as not to shock our digestive ap-
paratus by Introducing anything solid
into it.
But why harrow the reader with the
rules and regulations which Lucille
framed for US. Suffice it to say that
they went into effect the next morning
according to schedule.
We met at breakfast. l am never at
my best before drink my first cup Of
coffee in the morning and the thought
of the inhuman way l was about to
treat my "tummie" depressed me more
than usual. The table was ghastly

"Lohnnx on the Spot" Farmer

A western farmer dropped in upon
the liberty loan committee in his town,
toward the close of the subscription Pc
riod, placed milk can on the table,
removed the cover and emptied the
contents. That milk can contained
the savings of wars, in copper, silver
and gold coins and bank notes. When
counted the cash was found to amount
to goodly sum. II never put my

Plan for a Small Garden.

In this plan all the vegetables named
are planted in rows across from
the inside lateral roTs of strawber-
ries. AS rapidly as each kind of peas
natures and the crop is over, kaIe is
planted in its place. The ground to
be used for tomatoes is first planted
with onion sets, and these onions are
used as rapidly as needed. When the
time comes to set out the tomatoes,
some of the onions are dug to make
space for the tomato plants. When
the tomato crop is over, the ground
is occupied by spinach as the third
crop. Spinach is also planted as soon
as the bulb onions from the side are
gathered. The beans, carrots, and
peas are succeeded by late cabbage,
and between the rows of late cabbage
"potato-onion" sets are planted. Late
beans are planted between the rows
of parsnips after the radishes and let
tuce have been gathered.

Plan your home garden in advance.
Make diagram of the available
space; allot the ground to the vege-
tables you want to grow. Prepare to
make your garden work until frost
next fall. That is advice to home
gardener by horticulturists of the
United States Department Of Agrlcul-
ture.
Interest in the planning all men,
bers Of the family, especially the chill
dren who, by being given a partner
ship now, will know their duties when
the time comes. Read such garden
ing publications as are available.
Write to the Department Of Agrlcul-
ture for q home gardening bulletin.
In making a diagram of the garden
It is well to use tough paper, such as
heavy wrapping paper, which will
stand repeated handling out Of doors.
A fairly large scale should be adopt
ed so that full notes can be kept in
the spaces representing rows. If the
garden Is fairly large or abnormally
long the diagram may be made in sep
arate sections for the sake Of con-
Venlence.

to raise a single crop on each plot OF
land at their disposal, but 1t is quite
possible to grow two or three crops
Of some vegetables In one season.
A primary consideration In arrang-
ing the garden is the kind of cultiva.
tion to be employed. Where the work
Is to be done mainly by means Of
hOrse-drawn tools the arrangement
should be such as to give the longest
possible rows and a straight outline
should be followed. The garden
should be free from paths across the
rows and turning spaces should be
provided at the ends. For hand cul-
tivatlon (the method that probably
VIII be used by most home gardeners)
the arrangement can be quite differ
ent, as the garden may be laid out in
sections with transverse walks and
the rows can be much closer for most
crops.
Remember Early Vegetables.
1t is also important to consider the
location of permanent crops such as
asparagus and rhubarb. If any Of the
small fruits such as raspberries, cur
rants and goOseberries are to be
planted within the garden inclosure
they should be included with the per-
manent crops. The location and area
for the hotbed, cold-frame or seedbed
should be decided upon, although
these may be shifted to some conven.
lent place outside the garden.
Where there is great variety in the
parts of the garden 1t will be advis-
able to note this VIXEN arranging for
the location of the various crops.
Such crops as celery, onions and late
cabbage should be planted in land
that is not too low and moist. If part
of the soil is high, warm and dry, that
Is the proper location for early crops
and those that need quick, warm
soil.
Points to Consider.
Remember these points in planning
your garden:
A gentle slope toward the south or
southeast Is most desirable for the
production of early crops. 1t is an
advantage to have protection on the
north and northeast by either hill,
a group of trees or hedge, buildings,
tight board fence or stone wall
to break the force of the wind.
The land should have sufficient
drainage for surplus water to run off
during heavy rains, but the fall should
not be so great that the soil will be
washed. Fill up holes in which water
will accumulate. Avoid banks of a
creek or stream liable to overflow.
A good fence around the garden plot
is almost Indispensable to keep out
damaging animals.
The garden should be as near the
kitchen as possible so that the work
of caring for the crops may be done
at odd times and so that the vegeta-
bles are quickly available to the
housewife.

it cannot be wrong or immoral to ex-

in those regions a new fatkerland for
the German refugees who have come
from all parts of the world.
"The question is not one of morals,
It is merely a political and economic
problem"
Germany's barbarous treatment of
the inhabitants of occupied terrific
