Maple SUGAR Value erows.
,><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

NaPiC SbSAt SToWo.
The value of the national produc-
tion of maple sugar and maple sirup
has grown from 100000 in 1899,
when the census first ascertained 1t,
to $12,0OO.OOO for 1918. according to
the bureau Of crop estimates, United
States department Of agriculture.
The maple sugar and sirrp Of 1918
were worth five times the cranberry
crop Of 1917, one and one-third
times the hop crop, three-flfths of
the sorghum slrup made, one-half of
the buckwheat or fiaxseed or onion
crop, one-third of the oranges, and
one-quarter Of the sugar beets.
The principal region of production
extends from northwestern Ohio
through New York to vermoAand In

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton TO Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside q
soldier who had returned from the
front On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was arruiess. and on
his left cheek he bore a scar THAI he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914, he hastened to the recruiting
office, leaving his 32O-acre farm. with
its crop ready for harvest, full
equipment OF farm implements. plenty
of horses. and a wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction. while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again In 1016. and when her husband
returned In 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed. the Indebtedness Of the farm
paid or. considerable addition to the
stock. and the land ready for a 1917
crop This was the story told by the
soldier. and wasn't he a proud man!
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
OF the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
nre the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward. who. for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
plowing seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for 500. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. NJ. Hillman of Keller, Sas-
katchewnn, is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone in ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1.120 acres. She also owns some of
the finest Percheron horses In Sas-
katchewan.

women who have had more or less sue
cess. though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem
onstrating. that versatile woman
may be Just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women. too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of running n farm
have been decided factors in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac.
counts. reducing the grocer's bills by
their management Of the poultry and
butter. taking care of the house. and,
very often, proving good advisers In
the economic management Of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.

remedied.
To Whom Credit is Due.
The main active agent In this work
Is the chief quartermaster of the
canal. r. X. Morris, who is one of
the 'boys who grew up on the canal"
He began as clerk at II little over
twenty years of age, some IA years
ago. and has now become the Hoover
of the zone and perhaps the biggest
agriculturist in Latin-America Mr..
Morris has taken up the work with
intelligent enthusiasm. studied 1t from
many angles. got a corps of prac-
tical experts, and is bidding fair to
solve some of the most important and
difficult problems that have ever con-
fronted tropical pioneers. He is In
line to do with tropical agriculture
what General Gorgns did with tropi-
cal sanitation.
The time is very propltious and the
results will be well worth watching.

Use of Modern Implements Is
One Way to Increase Crops
in Time of Emergency.
AIDS EFFICIENCY OF WORKER
United States Department Of Agricui-
ture Recommends That Farmers
Cooperate in Purchase of Va
rlous Farm Outfits.

Work which is generally done in
some part of the country with the aid
of machines that greatly increase the
efficiency of the man employed is still
largely done by hand In other parts.
Machinery for the most of the work in
connection with preparing and tilling
the soil Is available In many sizes, and
frequently two or more outfits, each
requiring the time of one man, are
seen working in the same field on op-
erations for which implements of two
or three times the size of those used
could be employed with just as salts
factory results. There are few farm
horses which a driver of ordinary In
telligence cannot train to work in
large teams In a few days time, and
most of the larger implements are lit
tie If any more complicated or diff
cult to handle than the small ones for
the same work.
Machinery Profitable.
Where the farm is large, and 1t is
not possible to procure sufficient labor,
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture say 1t is more
profitable, as well as patriotic, to in
stall machinery which will enable the
operator to plant. cultivate. and har-
vest full acreage of the crops best
suited to his land and the needs of
his country. than to let some of the
land lie idle, or. at best. have 1t pre-
pared and worked poorly, and the
crops out Of season. -sss..l'Ssass
In Farmers Bulletin $50, "Better
Use Of Man Labor on the Farm" Just
issued by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, photographs of
| actual farm scenes are printed to
show that in many cases work can be
doubled by the use of larger imple-
ments and greater motive power, and
sometimes the gain is considerably
more than that. If the nature of the
work and the machinery for doing 1t
are such that the best implements

Combining to Purchase Machinery
Can all farmers afford to buy extra
horses and larger implements to save
man labor? OF course those whose
farms require but one or two horses
to do the ordinary work seldom can
afford to do so. But they can secure
this additional help by combining to
purchase larger machinery, and doub.
ling up their teams to operate it; or
one. usually more skilled In operating
machinery, or better able to purchase
1t, may own the larger implements,
and do the work for several neighbor
farmers, besides his own, to the adj
vantage of all concerned. Both these
methods have been tried out in many
localities with mowers. harvesters
tractors. thrashing machines, and
other farm machinery.

INVESTING IN MACHINERY

If two men, driving one horse
each, can combine the two
horses into one team which one
man can drive, and this team
can do as much or more work
than the two did singly, isn't 1t
wise to combine them and save
one mans timer
And If the farm is large and
conditions warrant. isn't 1t wise
to combine two of these two
horse teams Into one, and save
another mans time?
But before making these extra
investments 1t is wise for the
farmer to consider well the cost
and the probable gain. If extra
horses and implements cost
more than they will produce, of
course 1t would be unwise to
make the investment.

Weeds Never Rest

The weed fight is one of the stand
ard routine operations on the farm.
and 1t represents a large proportion of
the labor necessary to produce crops.
No other single feature of farming re-
quires such universal and unceasing
attention as do the weeds.

They Have Been Added to Long
List of Food-Saving
Measures.
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE
People Urged to Use Peanuts and
Fruit stones as Substitutes
Planting Of Sunfiowers Along
Roads Recommended.

Zurich.-Neutral countries are now
feeling the scarcity of articles of
food and are compelled to adopt ra-
tioning measures, thus following the
footsteps of belligerent countries.
Switzerland is adding to the bread
card. meat card. coal card. etc. a new
saving device-the fat card. Com
mentIng on the impending innovation
the Neue Zuricher zeitung says:
"Of course the coming of the fat
card is greeted with a general chorus
of bowling and cursing. The bread
card received the same sort Of well

of all our food is only to be welcomed
when you consider the necessity Of
Justly and equally feeding whole

The fat portion prescribed by our gov
ernment is sufficient for these extraor-
dinary times Of general food shortage.

wife could hardly use 500 grammes a
month for each person.
Wholesome Lesson.
at does no harm at all If we are
somewhat restrained In the use Of
fats. 1t will be wholesome lesson
to many of us. Some people were In
the habit of wasting fat In shameful
manner. It belonged to the require
ments Of an elegant kitchen to soak
everything in fat. 1t became custom
ary to trim the fat of boiled and
roasted meat and even OF ham and
leave 1t on the plate. And then fat
such as butter was added to meat
and eggs, which contain enough fat

der lot of fat because it Is the cas-
lest way.
Some restriction and a little more
thoughtfulness In preparing dishes
wili harm nobody. Overanxious people
are bowling about starving They for
get that the poor who form very
numerous part of our population al
ways had to economize In the use Of
fats. Besides, man can get along with
out fat for time. For most OF our foods
contain fat In another form. A short
age of fat might become serious II we
had no substitutes. such as cornstarch
and sugar Every ounce OF fat can
be replaced by two ounces of starch.
"Of course weather and climate af-

the humen body. A person working
hard during cold weather needs more
fats than otherwise. AS whole,
though, man Is able to adnpu himself.

kitchen butter should be displaced by
oils. OH is cheaper and well answers
