WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. March 31.-The acceptance
by France of Gen. Pershing's offer of
all American men and material for
the present emergency has in effect
virtually resulted in a unified army
command. SO far as the French army
and American forces are concerned.
This Is shown by the fact that the
orders issued to the American troops
are Of French origin.
Great activity continued Sunday
throughout the zone where the Amer
lean troops are Quartered. It began
at o'clock this mornipg. when heavily
loaded motor camions began rumhlinE
through the streets and over the roads,
which by noon were crowded with
camions, both motor and horse drawn;
marching men, horses and artillery. As
on Saturday. some parties were going
in one direction and some in another.
The Americans passing were cheered
9by others who stood along the roads
watching the virtually endless pro-
cessions, some of which were miles
long.
start Forward With Songs.
Out on the open roads the men in the
camions sang everything from The
Battle Hymn OF the Republic" to Tip
perary." They exhibited the greatest
enthusiasm for the work they have IN
hand, and seemed to be anxious to get
1t started.
Frequently during the day heavy mo-
tor trucks skidded from the muddy
roads Into bitches. but they were
quickly and literally picked up by ~
many Americans as could get hand on
them and set back on the road ana
A little thing like lifting the end Of
five-ton motor truck from q ditch
means nothing to Americans who are
in hurry to get into the fight.
Even more activity was observed be-
hind the German lines opposite the
American front on the Toul sector to-
day. An entire battalion was seen on
the march this morning. Infantry at
other points was being shifted about,
while the cavalry also was seen again:
Numerous automobiles Of members Of
the German stan made their appear

Throughout Saturday night signal
lights were flashing from Montsec.

British Stimulate Flax Yield.

The British government soon will
launch a. $50,0O0,000 scheme for in
creasing the cultivation Of flax in Ire
land, owing to the Importance of flax
for the manufacture of airplane wings.
Estimates by experts show that the
quantity of flax grown in Ireland
would not be sufficient in the coming
year for this and other demands. Farm
ers who own land suitable for the pur-
pose will be offered subsidies, and the
government probably will secure in adj
dition large areas of land in the mid
lands and south of Ireland. There is
likely to be scarcity of seed, and ex-
periments are to be made with the use
of Canadian seed.

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
Will Prove a Big Factor in Win
nina the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a 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
the neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
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 $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price of 1921 bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with big margin of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash, gives a very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In it's issue of December IA, 1917, it
says :-@
"Since the beginning of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports of the Dominion authori-
1;oe orJ boc boor almost ant;roIu M q do
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 il has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price Of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
So for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
IL to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel,
brings in these war times a 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. 1t 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 off
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Manyof the ranchers Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
It 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. AID
