THE NATIONS EYES
By Ma MAX wen.

This is the eighth Of q series Of week.,
articles on Glow Mothers Can Help h
chiIdren's Year" ;
What of our ehildren's eyesi Recent
investigations into the condition o.
American school children reveal thai
about one-ffth GO per cent? are handi
capped by defective vision, and in con
siderable number Of cases these defects
are serious. How eraveiy this affects the
Nation welfare Is demonstrated by the
findings in the recent examination Of
recruits for the new army. More than
730, 900 men called in the first draft were
rejected for physical disqualification.
OF the 10000 eases which were analysed
in detail, more than oae-ffth had been
rejected for defects of the eye. This
single cause was responsible for more
than twice as many reflections as the
next highest cause, namely, defects Of
the teeth, and for three or four times as
many As most of the other defects. Il
is, therefore, plain that American par
ents should take much more anxious
thought as TO the condition of their chill
dren's eyes during the years when the
harm is most likely to be done and when
trouble can most readily be prevented or
cured.
The first essential is TO insure the
soundest possible health at birth. This
depends in certain measure upon the
health and diet of the mother before
the baby is born. Proper food and care
for the baby throughout infancy and
childhood when the structures of the
body are growing at the most rapid rate
are necessary. Improper or insufficient
food, neglect and illness are among the
causes which interfere with growth and
healthy development of the body in
every part and no doubt affects the
growing eyes In the same way.
But even WHEN the fundamental laws
Of good health have been observed and
when Tie eyes are strong and healthy to
begin with, thsy should have very spe-
dial care from the moment of birth.
Dirsetions for this are found in two
ballstins Of TIE Children's Year, entitled
"Preaztal Cars'' and "Infant Care"
Both these bpllstins win be sent free in

A novel and rapid way whereby to
determine the age Of an egg has been
developed by M. Grossfeld, French
investigator. He has supplemented
the usual method by one dependent on
specific gravity, notes the Boston
Transcript. The existing way where
by to determine the age of eggs Is by
Gambling them and taking note Of the
mirage which forms about the yolk."
Mr.. Grossfeld has determined that spe-
cific gravity of normal eggs in the
way attributed to Archimedes, and
there has been figured out the loss in
gravity. for each week Of keeping. For
quick inspection of qualities of eggs,
he has devised form of hydrometer.
The egg takes the place of the weight
ed bulb and the scale indicates the
specific gravity and at the same time
the aye of the egg. A little cage has
been arranged to hold the egg and is
capable of quick handling. Big eggs
and little eggs are subject to errors In
the readings, but with eggs In the vi

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

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917, gave 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 neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather In January Of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, 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 $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with
set price of 1921 bushel, they could
Join production and patriotism to-
gether with 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 it's 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
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 it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
50 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
- 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. 1t 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, mortgaged 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
$4,000 to 100000 in the banks last fall.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
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
file lands of Western Canada
vertiSement.
