worth while. The preparation has been

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 a better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until the end of November. In fact, In
I the neighborhood Of Pincher Greek,
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 $1,000
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 a bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin Of profit.

ment Of the agricultural development
and opportunities In Western Canada.
In Its issue Of December IL, 1917, Il
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
up Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
Whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as 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 % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at So per bushel,
brings In these war times 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. It has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business It 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 of
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War Is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sass
katchewan- and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 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
tile lands of Western Canada. "-Ad.

war TROPHY TRAIN
1T WILL ARRIVE In MADISON
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, AT
1880 O'CLOCK II. NJ.

Madison people who have seer the
wal trophy train and heard its ac-
companying speakers bring back the
report that the exhibition of relics is
of such interest that it is worth while
to go a great many miles to see. The
thrilling experiences OF Trooper
.O'Connor who served in the Flanders
battles for nearly % months, are re-
cited dramatically, and with almost
the actual realism of hand to hand
conflict. He tells graphically how it
feels to be tied to a log as the enemy
stand by ready to chop off both feet,
and of the sensations that creep over
the human frame while facing a bay
onet thrust that in the next instant
sends one to eternity unless rescue
appears. A speaker of note with this
train is a young college man by the
name of Bryan, who tells with pathos
about his experiences as an ambu-
lance driver. He saw the poor boys
scattered over the field of battle.
wounded, battle Scared, some with
limbs shot away and some near death
calling on the name of God and
mother. He exalts the little Ford car
as a faithful friend and pours out a
touching tribute to the Y. M. c. A.
and the American Red Cross nurses.
In fact, the train with it's speakers
and rleics is something that no one
in the vicinity of Madison should
think of missing. 1t will be here On
Friday of this week accompanied by
a band of trained musicians and a
noted speaker who will present the
needs of the government in this war.
A platform will be erected near the
Lake Park hotel where there is ample
space to accommodate a large gath
ering.
