WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Blu
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 profitably
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 o
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be a vastly in
creased yield. They realized 1t 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-

that book which Alyarado. the dentist,
had given him, he took a 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

the shed roof, praying that his move

tiles were firR. He aimbly scaled the
wall, crossed an inclcsure, climbed a
second wall, and descended into dark
side street. Taking advantage Of the
densest shadows and the numerous
ove-hanging balconies, he set out at a
brisk trot.
A light showed through the barred
windows Of the Alvarado home, indi-
eating that the family was in. After

Russia Gives Up Territory, Political and Military
 Independence.

Amsterdam, March 4.-Russia and the Central Powers, in the peace treaty reached at Brest-Iitovsk, agreed that the war between them should be at an end, Berlin dispatches say. The third clause of the treaty provided that the regions west of a, line agreed upon and which is to be delineated later, formerly belonging to Russia, shall have no further obli- gation toward Russia and Germany and Austria will determine their fate in agreement with their population.
 Article f provides for the evacua- ton of the Anatolian provinces and the surrender of Erivan, Kars and Batoum to Turkey The treaty con- tinues:
 Article 5: Russia will without delay carry out the complete demobiliza- ton of her armies, including the forces newly formed by the present govern ment. Russia will further transfer her Warships to Russian harbors and leave them there until a general peace or immediately disarm. Warships of states continuing in a state of war with the quadruple alliance will be treated as >RusSian warships in so far as they are within Russian con- trO1
 The barred zone in the Arctic con- tinues in force until the conclusion of peace. An immediate beginning will be made for the clearing of mines in the Baltic and in so far as Russian power extends in the Black sea. Commercial shipping is free in these waters and will be resumed i'm mediately. mixed commission will be appointed to fix further regulations also for the announcement of routes l for merchant ships.
