WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
nlpeg the writer took Il seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August.
1914, he FASTENED to the recruiting
office. leaving his 320-acre farm. with
its crop weady for harvest a full

again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able To show
some contemplated farm buildings

stock, and the land ready for a 1917

rake the hay. To facilitate matters,
the Side-delivery rake should be used,
so that loading can be started as soon
as the rake has made one round. The
fourth man will usually finish raking
by three or four o'clock In the after
noon, and can help load during the re-
mainder of the day. However, three
men pitching onto one wagon is not
ordinarily a very economical arrange
ment.
Moving in the Afternoon.
Now let us suppose that it is decid-
ed TO do the moving In the afternoon
as well as the raking, and see how this
arrangement affects the size of the
crew. Such n method requires anoth-
er additional man or team, making a
crew of five men working in the hay
field in the afternoon only. There will
be one man moving. one raking the
hay moved the day before, and three
men bringing hay from the field and
putting II into the barn. Two more
horses will also be required with this
method, making a total of six, yet
this larger crew will handle no more
hay per day than the three-man crew
above described
The amount Of hay that can be
handled under these conditions will
be from 40 to 60 acres, depending upon
the yield. If the hay loader is used,
more hay can be handled per day The
two pitchers work on the wagon build
ing the load, and the third man drives
the team.

MONEY FOR FARMERS

To Perfect Plans for Fin: ncing Plant

State officials interested in the gov

o'clock Monday afternoon with mem
bers of the Topeka clearing house. The
meeting will be held in the offices of
the Central National bank and plans
for advancing money to farmers will
be discussed.
1t appeared certain today that west
ern Kansas banks which are unable
to meet money demands of their pa
trans, will obtain funds thru their cor
respondents. The government has
approved a six per cent discount for
advancing this money until the crop is
in the ground. At that time the gov
eminent will take over the loans. The
interest-about So on loan of 5000
will be received by the correspondent
banks which furnish the money. Local
banks, anxious to increase crop pro-
duction in their home communities,
will handle the loans without expense
to the government or to the farmers.
Detailed plans for making the loans
will be considered at Mondays meet
ing. A committee composed of Gov
