Motion pictures, designed to teach
lessons in food production to rural and
urban dwellers and TO suggest to them
ways in which they can contribute to
such production, are being prepared
by the United States department of
agriculture. The first films which are
to be handled under an agreement with
the Universal Film Manufacturing
company, through its exchanges, were
made early in December. One of the
first film lessons showed activities in
the national forests, which not only
are important sources of timber and
wafer supply, but also afford grazing
for large number of cattle and sheep

CLEANING GRAIN OF BENEFIT
Farmer Gould Not only Demand Top
Prices, bit Would Also Obtain
Screenings for Feed.

Government Investigators declare
that the producer OF high-quality grain
often receives less than it is worth in
order that the buyer may pay an equal
price to the grower of grain of inferior
quality. If the farmer would clean his
grain he could not only demand top
prices, but would thereby obtain
screenings worth SO to S25 a ton for
feed. The specialists believe that
farmers who deliver grain of inferior
quality should not expect to receive a
price equal to that paid for high-qual-
ity grain.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One Of the Best Ever Harvested

TIE cereal crop Of Western Canada
FOR 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from ou
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was nor
only greater than in any previous wear
but the price obtained was double tha..
OF 1916 which in turn was almost
double that of the year before.
AS was the case in 1915 and 1919
many farmers We're able TO nav for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further ey,.
dence of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
In every twenty of the population is
now the owner of an automobile If
the farming community alone is taken
1t will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners is still greater The
bank clearings of the leading cities Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods of 1916, and then thew
were higher than the year preceding.
IN Winnipeg $500,000,OOO more WAC
cleared in the IL months ending No.
vember so than in the same months a
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting n greater production OF
fHnHufVffc IN,
Canada offers q wonderful Opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
of staple fOodstuffs be produced but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
uctS has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres Of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at a low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
IN 1918. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers to
the possibilities of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that it was impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase of between % and 80 per cent

These who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest 1t

able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United

Great Importance.

Estimates of the returns of crops

RATION FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Hens in Full Laying Require Rations
Which Have Greater Relative
Content of Protein.

Poultry rations at once divide them
selves into two different classes:
Those for the fowl. and those for egg
production. Too many farmers are
feeding for the hens upkeep, forget
ting that they must also feed for eggs.
Hens in full laying require rtionS

of protein and ash, as against those

! LOCAL COMMENT

Now that the county council Of de-
Tense has adopted the allotment of all
war fund contributions one half on the
basis of population and one-half upon
the basis of assessed values Of prop
erty within the township for the period
Of the war, it has been suggested that
each township perfect its permanent
organization at once and have farmers
contribute the crop from one acre to
the township war chest. Signboards
could be posted on the acre which had
been enlisted for the war, as service
flags are flown to the breeze. So far
the tax per farm for contributions ex-
elusive of investments in government
securities has not equaled the products
of one acre, but this might be an easy
way to apportion each mans quota.
The farmers of the Albion neighbor-
hood are forming the ideal kind of a
farmers league. They are going to CO.
operate in an elevator and live stock
marketing association. All money and
business will be handled at home by
neighbors and there will be nothing
wasted in promotion or graft. These
local cooperative societies are univer-
sally successful except in the general
merchandising business and even in
that line they are sometimes success
full depending upon the genius of the
manager. At Des Moines, however,
the state association recently formed
bears the earmarks Of designing poll
ticians out to work the farmer vote.
About all the crank is1hs that have tried
to organize in the past were taken into
fellowship and the usual plank against
paved roads was included to stir up
prejudice Loyalty was expressed
nominally but utilization was declared
with an organization that is looked
upon as decidedly disloyal in Mime
sofa. BY sticking close to home in
local organizations farmers can be sure
of their management just as local
building and loan associations have
driven out the pronteers and the wild
cat performers Of old.
The next liberty loan drive will be-
gin with publicity April 6. The drive
will be on April Is or Whereabouts and
the money will be paid into the banks
about May IS. The bond will be
