WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One Of The Best Ever Harvested.

Thes ~ crop Of Western Canada
for 1917 PAS the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes Of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than In any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
OF 1915, which In turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
As was the case In 1915 and 1915,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evil
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. II
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 corre-
spending periods Of 1915, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg 100000 more was
cleared in the II months ending No
vember 30 than In the same months q
year ago. 81
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 greater production of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a 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 low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
In 1918. It 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 a 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 1t was impossible to meet Il
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase Of between 25 and 30 per cent
In 1918.
Those 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 II
In the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be Of great benefit to them.

which the Allies, including the United
States, are now fghtlng.-Advertise

WHY WE MUST SAVE SUGAR.
Why are the People of the United
States Asked to Limit Them
selves to 3 Pounds OF
Sugar Per Person Per
Month For House,
hold Use?

In order that the people of Eng
land may have 2 pounds per person
per month; the people of France 1 n
pounds per person per month; the
people of Italy l pound per person
per month.
These amounts are not guaranteed
by the allied governments, but are
the maximum amounts that will be
furnished if supplies can be obtained.
Sugar Supply.
l.. Where does America get hec
sugar? 5015 U. S. beet; Louisiana
cane; II Hawaii; remainder from
Porto Rico, Philippines, etc.
2 Where did the allies formerly
get sugar? France, Italy and the
low count lies raised their own. En-
gland received more than one-half
from the Teutonic Empires, import
ed largely from Java, and got lit
tie from the British West Indies.
their sugar? The Central Powers as
a source are cut off. Production in
Italy and France is only about one
third what it was before the war.
They must depend very largely now
upon American sources of supply.
4. Are there no supplies of sugar
in the East Indies? There are guam
titles of sugar in Java and some in
other islands; but ships can. not be
spared for trips to Java while sugar
can be secured elsewhere by one
third the haul.
5. Why is there need to conserve
sugar now in this country? To meet
the Allied shortage. To release
ships formerly used in the sugar
trade to carry soldiers and supplies
to Europe. To make up the loss of
beet sugar lands and factories capt
ured or destroyed by the Germans in
Northern France and Italy. rr
Ships which would have kept up the
supply of sugar have been sunk.
Twenty-six thousands tons of sugac
were lost recently in submarine raids
upon our Atlantic coast. Fifty
thousands tons OF sugar-carrying
shipping were transferred to meet
the requirements of Belgian relief.
s. Is there danger Of sugar
famine? No; but there is short
age compared with the pre-war days
when Americans used more than SO
pounds per capita per year. If oul
