LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Advises Farmers to Raise Wheat.

Editor, Times In your Jan, 2 issue
/ noticed clipping taken from the Farm
and Preside. How Farmers Can Use
Their Winter Months" And it goes on
to say that the farm a. ordinarily man
aged is mighty poor business and if the
merchant or manufactures carried on
their business in the same way that it
would mean failure.
Now the merchant knows pretty near
what his customers want and where the
goods are coming from to supply the de-
mand, and what they are going to cost.
The farmer has to plan about year
ahead for his crops and take his chances
on weather conditions whether he raises
a profitable crop or not, and then he has
to take a chance on the market, whether
he breaks even or not.
The article goes on to say that 90
per cent OF the farmers are taking it
easy from Nov. ! to April l. Now this
is not so. The dairy farmer has to put
in about IA hours a day for seven days
in the week for summer and winter
right through. and think that the win
ter months are the hardest, especially
the present.
Now the farmers have got sick of hav-
ing this kind of stuff rubbed in on them.
as il does no one any good and makes
the farmer cranky and he resents il.

farm that are not farmers and never
will be. They just stay there because

Ideals are the soul of life. The sim
plest human act is directed to an end ;
and life, series of unnumbered acts,
must answer to some end, some ideal,
mean or generous, seen by the eye of
the heart, and pursued consciously or
often unconsciously, which gives Il
unity and clue to the bewildering
mazes Of human conduct. The word
progress is unmeaning without refer
ence TO an Ideal. AndI would say Of
ideals that which was said of abstract
thoughts by distinguished scholar
and statesman, that they "are the meat
and drink of life" They support us,
and, still more, they rule us.--Bishop

A K[0ND|KE To THE
REAL FARMER
A Western Canada Crop EStimat-
ed at $4,000, Makes
$4,000.

Messrs. Harris, formerly Of Audu.
bon, Iowa, wrote the audubon Advo-
cate" expressing their satisfaction Of
things In Western Canada. They To-
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, "a 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 S23 per acre. He
broke 300 acres of the land during the
summer Of 1915. In the fall of 1915
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 of the other half Of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.
I'VE have had five crops in Alberta.
The two dry years (19141917) our
wheat made 20 and 30 bushels to the
mere respectively. In 1916 we raised
90 bushels Of wheat to the acre on
summer tallow. The best results are
obtained by plowlng or breaking In
the summer, working it down in the
fall so that 1t will retain the moisture.
Thus farming one-half your ground
each year.
persons owning land here and still
living in the States should, II 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.
ut is not advisable for q person to
come here in the spring, break out
land and put 1t in crop the first year,
because the moisture Is not In the
