The total value of field crops for
1917 was $663, 1924, $50, produced on less
than 100000 acres of land.
Further evidence of prosperity and
progress is found In the Government
estimate of the value Of farm lands,
and increase in value since 1908:
80 1908 1916
Manitoba. ..............27.3O 32.o3
Saskatchewan .........2O.4O 25.ot
Alberta 1920 22.18
It will be observed that the average
price Of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. It is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach Of those with linn
tied means.
A good idea Of advancement in a
country's progress may be obtained by
knowledge of what has been done In
the production Of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, a country whose
fame having been heralded as grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to, it will be realized that there Is
there vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take ad-
vantage Of it. In the three provinces
in 1912 there were-horses, milch cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head. while In 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire populatiOn< was
419, 9,512; in 1916 1,69S. .220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning
Of that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor nation Of over 100, ,OOO,-
OOO-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have a stimulating effect
on it's progress. Already one sees
signs of it on every hand.
Canada, not only has the largest area
of unoccupied, but fertile, land Of any
country. but this land is already made
available by network of railways.
Cost of production Of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on basis of those Of the United
States.-Advertiseme

MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is matter Of the blood.
Without good red blood man has q
weak heart and poor nerves.
- In the spring is the best time to
take stock Of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
ptmply, generally weak tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem.
edy that was used by everybody nearly
20 years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic. It is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
In lready-to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If
druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for vial to DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. 7.
Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty Of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric :cid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
trial package by sending ten cents to
Doctor Pierce's Inyalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute in Buffalo. n. 7.

in order that an understanding may a.
this time be reached whereby disputes liz

During the period since we en
 tered the war. tue farmers of Ar kansas have responded magnlfi ! cently,, to the appeals fer increas ed production, and all the people have complied with the urgent requests for fuller conservation During this present fall season the farmers have planted an in creased acreage Of grain. It's too early now to make detailed sug gestlons for the spring planting season. We dc not know how the fall grass vii come through the winter, and we are not able to forecast the demands and the conditions which will prevail af- ter the first of the year.
 This Department, the agricul tural colleges ard other organi zations will continue to give defi- mite thought to al the problems, and at the proper time will lay the situation before you.
 Two things seem to be clear.
 One is that for considerable period the world will have need particularly of 8 larger supply than normal of livestock, and es pec;ally Of fats. We should not fail, therefore. to adopt every feasible means of economically increasing our livestock prod ucts. As part of our program, we should give due. thought to the securing of an adequate sup ply e feed stuEe ard to the erad icatien and control of all forms of animal disease.
 The other Is the need of per fecting the organization of our agricultural agencies for the pur pose of intelligently executing such 8 program as may seem wise We should not only have the best possible organization and co operation of the Depart ment of Agriculture, the agricul- tural colleges. the State depart. ments of agriculture and farm CTS associations, out we should especially strengthen other orga. which support so effect ively the extension forces and as> sist them in their activities. The perfecting of this organization is highly desirable rot only during the continuance of the present | abnormal conditions but also for the future. The local as well as the State and Federal agencies are of supreme importance to the Nation IT ali it's activities de- signed to make rural life more profitable, healthful and attract i've, and therefore, to secure ad economic production, eff ficient distribution and neces sary conservation.
 Tie main pu .pose of this ap-| peal is to direct attention to the necessity of rtinuing our eff fort of preparedness and of 1 strengthening the foundations of cur agriculture
