Gated at Makepeace, Alberta. They
say there are those who make good,
and those who fail. The former are
those that land agents refer to when
advertising their land. "But," contin-
ues the letter, IA great many Of the
farmers in this vicinity pay for their
land with their first crop. A man
near here bought section Of land in
the year 1915 for $23 per acre. He
broke 800 acres Of the land during the
summer of 1915. In the fall Of 1916
he threshed 10000 bushels Of wheat,
which paid for his land, all expenses
and had balance Of $4,000. In the
fall Of 1917 he threshed nearly as
much off the other half Of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.
1--WE have had five crops In Alberta.
The two dry years (1914-1917) our
wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre respectively. In 1916 we raised
30 bushels Of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by blowing or breaking In
the summer, working it down in the
fall SO that it will retain the moisture.
Thus farming one-half your ground

"Persons owning land here and still
living in the States should, If they
don't feel themselves able to come up
here and finance themselves until they
could get their first crop, get some Of
their land broken and worked down
in the fall before they come. The
next spring they could come and put
in the crop, fence and put up their
buildings. This way they have to
wait only one summer for their first
crop.

quarters The man who follows this
practice may find that important i'm
plements need repairs, and although
the season is ripe for blowing or seed
ing, which should be done without de-
lay, It Is necessary for him to drop
all other work and attend to the re-
pair Job which could have been done
earlier In the season. Orders for re-
pair parts and new machines should
be placed as soon as possible. This
will acquaint manufacturers and their
agents with the demand in different
sections and enable them to make the
best possible distribution. At the
same time, 1t will eliminate expensive
delays In transportation at the busy
season.
Preserve All Machinery.
All practicable steps should be taken
to preserve machinery now on hand.
Needless exposure to the weather
should be avoided, and in cases where

heavy oil or grease to keep out moist
ure and prevent rust. 1t Is believed
that on many farms machinery could
be more adequately sheltered In the
buildings available by exercising care
in placing them. so as to economic
space.
Importance Of oiling.
More damage can be done to ma
chine In half an hour through lack OF
oil or grease on some bearings than by
a whole seasons exposure to the
weather, SPECIALISTS of the United
States department Of Agriculture de-
clare. For this sort Of neglect there
can be no excuse, 1t Is said. Operat-.
Ing a machine without fabrication, es-
pecially when the bearings are slight
" rusty, will quickly result In the
wearing away Of the metal, often to
considerable depth, In very few min
utes. Expensive breakages, as well
as serious delays. also may be caused
by operating machines on which nuts
have worked loose or have come OH
entirely. allowing bolts to loosen or
drop out.
Some consideration in the use and
care of farm machinery are:
Orders for new equipment and re-
pair parts should be placed as soon
as possible.
To produce maximum results with
a minimum. of labor, new ana modern,
machinery In large sizes should De
used wherever possible.
Serviceable equipment, not needed,
should be sold or made available to
others.
Useless machinery should be return
ed to the channels of trade rs junk.
Thorough fabrication and proper
care when in use will materially
lengthen the period of service of farm
equipment.
More care should be given to pro-
tecting farm implements from the
weather.

There was published yesterday the

that he approves the nomination OF
General Foch rs commander IN chief of
the allied armies operating in France.
The Constitution provides, IN sec

shall he commander in chief of the army

common mistake To suppose that what
are called the war powers OF the Presi-
dent depend upon some distinction be

That Is not the case. The only technical
extension Of his military authority during
