WESTERN CANADA's
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history of Western
9nada 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
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly in
creased yield. They realized it was 4
duty they owed to humanity to produce
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
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read
ily. and on many fields the young green
blades of the cereal are already show
ing.
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada will reap
a record harvest. If the season from
now on is as favorable as it has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr.
J. D. McGregor of the Federal Food
Board, who is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed few days ago at Calgary that crop
conditions throughout the Prairie
Provinces were excellent. Speaking
generally" he said, ''the crops have
never gone into the ground in better
shape than this year, and with an
even break of luck as far as the wealth
er is concerned, there should be an
enormous CROP" His present duties in
connection with the Food Control
Board. taking him in all parts Of the
West, Mr.. McGregor has exceptional
opportunities Of observing conditions
all over the country.-Adyertisement-

and demanded that they be friends, no
husband. They agreed. Miss Marion,
as girls sometimes do, followed the in
clinations of her heart, and selected
Stone, whose salary was meager, in
preference to O'Neill and his wealth.
Then came the draft.
Stone was summoned before the
draft board and passed. He was
placed in class 1 and fled no claim for
exemption. O'Neill was examined and
rejected. In February Stone was Or
dered to report. By this time an inter-
esting event was presaged in the Stone
home, and he asked for more time.
The draft board was powerless, and
his wife became seriously i'll because
of worry. O'Neill was watching. He
visited a noted surgeon in Denver and
asked for an operation. He was told
that his chances for recovery would
be two in five, but he elected the op-
Grafton.
o'NeiI Became a Substitute.
Three weeks after the operation
O'Neill returned to Fort Collins, sound
and whole, and demanded new ex-
animation. He passed as qualified for
military service" Then he asked that
he be substituted for Stone. The draft
board was unable to make such a SUBJ
stitution, but because of the urgent
appeal of O'Neill they finally sum-
moned Stone for re-examination and
gave him a deferred classification be-
cause of nervous breakdown. O'Neill
won his fight. Then he went further.
He called Stone from his bank job
and placed him in charge of the O'Neill
ranches, which yield $4,000 a year.
O'Neill stipulated that Stone manage
the ranches on 5000" basis. And
O'Neill went to war.
Marion Stone is now well and happy,
following the arrival of a new mem
Der in the Stone family, boy, who
has been named Joseph Emmett
Stone. Now the father, who has re-
gained his former health, is asking
that he, too, be allowed to go to the
army, and, if possible, be assigned to
duty with O'Neill.

rate of insurance.
Nothing shows more clearly the
value of good painting and repairs
than the attitude of bankers in max

full inquiry of leading bankers shows
that farmer can borrow all the way
from five to fifty per cent more when
his buildings are well painted and in
good condition than when they appear

The average increased loan value
under such conditions is considerable.

This year, many farmers and suburb
antics who have hitherto gone about
their spring repairs as matter of
course, will perhaps delay before get
ting them under way to ask "Will it
pay?" The unprecedented scarcity of
labor and the unusually high prices
of nearly all kinds Of building mate
rials will, no doubt, suggest to many
the advisability of postponing the
usual improvements to a later time.
AS a matter of fact nothing could be
more shortsighted and contrary to
every principle Of sound management
and economy.

kinds are, undoubtedly, higher in
price than they have been in many

1t Is ready to stuff or cook in any way
desired.
When stuffing. cut through the right
and left sections so there is but one
cavity to fill. A stuffing of sausage
meat, to which an onion or two finely
chopped is mixed, makes a most saw
ory dish. Sage with a little onion for
flavor is another combination with
bread crumbs which is well liked. Egg,
butter and salt and pepper are all
needed to make a savory stuffing. A
heart simply stewed until tender then
sliced cold makes a good dish. The
seasoning should be added to the
sauce while cooking so that the meat
will be seasoned all through.
Beef heart stuffed and served
sliced cold with any desired meat
sauce is another way of serving this
dish.
Calls Heart en- casserole.-Wash
the heart and stuff with any desired
stufiing. Arrange a half cupful Of
onions and carrots in casserole, then
lay in the heart. Sprinkle with salt,
pepper and paprika; dredge with flour
and bake for two hours. Remove
from the dish and make a brown
gravy, using four tablespoonfuls of
the fat with three of flour, adding two
cupfuls of boiling water. Serve with
the gravy and vegetable around the
heart. Corn or barley flour should be
used for the thickening.
Heart la Francaise.-Take a half
cupful of bread crumbs, two table
spoonfuls of finely chopped suet, a
teaspoonful Of minced parsley, some
sweet herbs, salt and pepper, and an
egg for binding. Stuff the heart with
this and fasten well with a string.
Rub the heart over with melted fat

years, there is every reason to believe
that they will mount still higher. As
the war goes on, the available supplies
will be steadily decreasing. and it is
hardly possible that any but higher
prices will result. On the other hand,
should the war come to an end in the
near future, it is not likely that the
general range of prices will show an
appreciable decrease for many years.
The war undoubtedly will be followed,
in this country, by an unprecedented
period of building, which, in conjunc-
tion with the enormous reconstruction
necessary in Europe, will for long
time prevent return to normal prices.
Insurance Against Deterioration.
But whatever the effect of the war
on prices, money spent now on prop
erty maintenance cannot well be bet
ter spent The fact that building ma
terials are higher in price than ever
before means that property invest
ment is just that much more valu-
able. 1t is always cheaper to keep
property in good condition than to re-
place it. 1t is even more so at the
present time, Good upkeep now is
insurance against having to make re-
placements at time when they will
be almost prohibitive in cost.
A practical builder in explaining
what he meant by good maintenance
said the other day: Repairs and
painting when necessary" He placed
1t is as impossible to make up at a
later date for paint and repairs on
buildings that have been neglected,
as it is to take out insurance after
buildings have burned to the ground.
Painting, like insurance, has for its
object protection, and to be effective
1t must be done on time.
Paint is so ordinarily considered as
a beautifier that very often not enough
thought is given to its protective func-
tions. Actually building coated with
sheets of India rubber would not be
as we'll protected from decay as a
structure that has been well painted,
| because the rubber is not nearly SO DUR
able as an elastic film of properly pre-
pared paint. A paint film one, one
| thousandth of an inch in thickness, as
long as it remains intact, will protect
| the surface to which it is applied in
| definitely from moisture and decay.
Economy in Painting.
True economy is in keeping farm
buildings well painted at all times. A
paint film on a few square yards of
surface costs but little, yet it will pro.
tect and beautify several dollars
worth of surface for many years. To
leave a surface unpainted for several
years will "save" in paint by a few
cents for every square yard of sur.
face, but it will cost several dollars
in structural materials wasted alt
beyond repair. When buildings are
painted frequently, they are always
well projected, the surface is in bet

Romance Began in Youth.
Joseph Emmett O'Neill and Walter
Howard Stone were born in Fort Col
Inns. a college town in Colorado. The
former was of a wealthy family, which
owned great ranches that reached
across the plains into the Rocky noun
tains. The parents of Stone were pi-
oneers in the community and in mod
est circumstances. The girl in the ro-
nance was Marion Palmer, whose fa-
ther was one of the founders of the
college and prominent in Colorado's
financial and social life. The three
families lived in the same block in
Fort Collins, and when school days
were over and Marion became Miss
Palmer, both young men became suit
orS for her hand.
Walter Stone became a bank clerk
and was ambitious to rise in his pro.
fessfon. O'Neill, whose father had
died, came into possession of the fam.

ranches. The race was neck-and-necR

some connection with the miracle of
