WESTERN CANADKS
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Bio
Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history Of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month Of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work, and
every acre that could be proftably
sown was placed under requisItion.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign Of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu.
nifty for careful preparation. and as q
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there wilpbe vastly in
creased yield. They realized It was q
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
in dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the 1st Of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture In the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been so heavy, however, as to

pitifully light burden-only some

Johnnie O'Reilly had no difficulty In
locating the residence of Ignacio Alva-
RADIO, but to communicate with him
was quite another matter, inasmuch
as his every step was dogged by that
persistent shadow from NueVitas.
One evening, several days after his
arrival, sudden rain storm drove
OReilly indoors, and as he ascended
to his room he saw that the lamp In
the hallway fiared and smoked at ev-
cry gust Of wind. 1t was very dark
outside; he reasoned that the streets
would be deserted. Hastily securing
that book which Alvarado, the dentist,
had given him, he took position close
inside his door. When he heard the
spy pass and enter the next chamber
he stole out into the hall and breathed
into the lamp chimney. A moment
later he was safely through the win
dow and was working his way down
the shed roof, praying that his move
ments had not been seen and that the
tiles were firm. He aimbly scaled the
wall, crossed an inclosure, climbed
second wall, and descended into dark
side street. Taking advantage of the
densest shadows and the numerous
oveShanging balconies, he set out at
brisk trOt.
A light showed through the barred
windows Of the Alvarado home, indl-
eating that the family was in. After

mouth and she began to struggle like

they rushed through the door, There
were shouts and curses, loudly bel
