Value of Field Crops
.s24o.645,oOO 1868, 924,55O


Total s240.6450 900 $685., 1924, 500
The total value of field crops for
1917 was 1868, 924, $50, produced on less
than 100000 acres of land.
Further evidence Of prosperity and
progress is found In the Government
estimate of the value of farm lands,
and increase in value since 1908:
1908 1915

Saskatchewan .......20.40 2307

1t will be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with lin
tied means.
A good idea of advancement In a
country's progress may be obtained by
knowledge of what has been done In
the production of cattle. and when
these figures are studied In connection
with Western Canada, a country whose
fame having been heralded as grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what Ii was mostly adapted
to, 1t will be realized that there Is
there a vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take ad-
vantage of it. In the three provinces
in 1912 there warehouses, mich cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head. while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419,512; in 1916 1905, 220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas OppOr-
tunities for growth at the beginning
of that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Cam
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor nation of over 100000
OO0-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have stimulating effect
on its progress. Already one sees
signs OF ii on every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of unoccupied, but fertile. land of any
country. but this land is already made
avsNable by a network of railways
Cost of production Of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on a basis of those Of the United
Advertisement.

Occasionally there Is a line or two
In the war news about weather condl-
tons. but 1t Is net generally known
that weather cuts very important
figure in the fighting that is going on
along the western front So impor-
tant did 1t seem to General Pershing
that he secured the services of quite
a number Of the best weather ex-
perts In the weather bureau, and they
are now doing duty on the western
front Efforts We're made by a num-
Der of army officers TO have Prof. VIII
lis Moore. formerly chief of the wealth
or bureau. given charge of the wealth
er business in France. Although this
was denied. the very best weather
prophets the department had on Its
rolls have been sent over. They were
given the rank of major az the time,
and It is expected that some Of them
have been promoted since then.

When the Legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill was being
considered In the house Congressman
Caldwell of New York and Meeker
os Missouri came out strongly in fa-
vOr Of increasing the allowance now
paid to members of $1,000 a year for
clerk hire. Caldwell wanted ii RAJ ED
to o,4OO while Meeker vAliantly held
forth for $4,000. One OF Meeker's ar
gllments was that a congressman
should not have 10 look after depart
mental matters that constantly require
attention. and that he cannot employ
sufficient clerical help to look after
such matters without going deep into
his own pockets to pay for It.

gress today" shouted Meeker SIS that
the membership shall become mere de-
partment flunkeys for their districts
and forget the legislative end Of IT.
the thing for which they were sent"
Although this Is true to great ex-
tent there seemed to be "hunch" that
any increase In the allowance Just be-
fore election time would have an I'M
happy effect upon constituencies, and
both propositions were rejected.

AS an evidence that man In high
position is playing no favOrites, story
was told In the house recently by Con-
gresham Garrett of Tennessee, about
an interview he had with Mai. Gen.
Henry +. Mccain, adjutant general Of
the army. Garrett went to see Mccain
about getting information concerning
the son of lady he knew and who
was a second lieutenant in the reserve
army in France. After listening TO
the story, General Mccain said:
81 am in a position to sympathize
deeply with this lady. l myself, have
son, captain in the artillery, In
France, from whom l have not heard
since last December, and an effort TO
locate him by cable has failed"
This was brought out In discussion
concerning the failure of mail 10 reach
the soldiers in France. II developed
that there Is a very serious condition
and also that mail like everything else
that is sent to France. is subject to
delay owing TO the inadequate facill-
ties.

Adjusting ourselves TO European
war conditions Is one Of the diff
culties which the government finds
necessary to solve as actual iostiliCies
In which United States troops partiC
pate take place. Our ideas of pubh:-
ity of military matters differ material
ly from those of Europe. Our people
feel that the soldiers who are In the
war are part of themselves and they
want to know all about them. especially
If they are killed or wounded. The Eu-
rOpean idea is to keep such facts from
the public to a great extent and the
assumption is that in time of war the
military arm should be absolutely I'M
hampered and that anything In the
way Of information to the general pub
lie Is unnecessary.
No doubt our military authorities are
anxious to comply with the desires OF
the allies as far as possible. but 1t will
not be easy to convince our people that
information regarding the death or
wOunding Of soldiers is going to give
any information of military value to
the enemy. OF course, quite n num-
Der Of our military leaders are inclined
to support the ideas Of the foreign mil
ltary men, for 1t Is one of the tradi-
lions OF the service that information
10 the public is unnecessary and mere
[ ~ caters to a curiosity Of the people
and might lead to some disaster be-
cause the information might be valu
able To the enemy.
All these things must be adjusted
and 1t is probable that the American
people, anxious for the success Of our
troops in the field, will accommodate
/ themselves to the regulations which
military authorities believe necessary.

II took n man from Montana TO ex-
plain 10 committees of congress why
there was a meat shortage. Not only
the man from Montana, hut men from
all over the West have given informa-
ton 10 the same effect. The meat
shortage of the West. they say. has
been due in a large part to turning
over the grass lands and using them
for farms instead of grazing purposes
Grass is rs necessary for meat as the
feeding Of grain to stock before send
ing to market. There has been n
falling off In stock raising on this ac-
count. Just now the shortage of food
for stock that needs fattening is also
contributing to the short meat supply.
II seems absurd. but even nj this
stage of congressional action there
is talk about adjournment Some
of the members think that every
thing necessary can be cleared up
by July or August. but these optimistic
ones forget "a great many things that
win have TO De attended to before
the session ends, OF they think
many important matters can be post
poned until the short session.
There is real desire for an early
adjournment on account of the CON
gressional campaign. a great deal Of
uneasiness exists among members OF
both parties and many are little
doubtful as to whether they will be re-
elected In several states the new ele-
ment KnOwn as the nOGrpartisan league
is creating disturbances and members
Of both parties feel that their seats
are insecure.
Even IL congress does not adjourn
early it is quite likely that the con
gressional leaders on both sides will
arrange so as to permit members an
