II Is a mystery to the younger gen.

the weeks that make up July and
August pass so much more quickly

Only u few days ago they turned their

comes the beginning of the school year

But the wholesome looking napper
whose camera image appears In the

school days with great cheerfulness.
She is probably fortified and heart
ened by the consciousness that she Is
wearing spick and span new school
frock that is above reproach. Or she
may have been cheered by looking
over her entire outfit Of clothes for
school wear.
The frock pictured is made Of heavy

The woman who Is In search Of
something original in the way of n

through the hot days realizes that there
is something new in the field of fash

Tho Coming Seedlings.

From the Price Current Grain Reporter.
The abnormal conditions in the grain
created by the fixing Of wheat
prices and the unusual prices brought
by other cereals that may be used as
substitutes for the %tandard bread grain
will assuredly introduce some d%ispropor-
donate seedlings next spring. Under ordi-
nary conditions the relative proportions of
the farms devoted to the regular crops
do not vary greatly from year to year, as
prices themselves do not greatly vary from
year to year, except as nature is propi-
tious or otherwise. But a 50 guaranty for
and high prices for seed wheat and
corn are likely, in view Of the low condi-
ton Of winter wheat on December /. to In
duce not more spring wheat seeding, but
all all likelihood more seeding of barley
and oats. both grains of larger yields than
wheat and at present prices more profita-
BILE. Barley. under the stimulus Of a sharp
milling demand, has, during the last three
months. advanced to a higher level OF
price than has been recorded at any time
since our civil war. Barley Is a spring
grain. 1t can be seeded later in the spring
wheat, and it b a matter Of record
that there Is already a lively demand for
seed barley. Last year the best barley
produced was grown in California. but un-
fortunately the winter in that state. ex-
in the northern part, has been so dry
that the outlook is poor at the Cor
all crops, and the barley section has for
most part suffered from the drought.
Barley Is also a northwestern crop. and
from that section Minneapolis reports 4
good demand for seed. which probably

energy and they want to know how to

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
Will Prove a Big Factor in Win.
ming 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
unt1i the end OF November. In fact, in
the neighborhood Of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this wear 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 a bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin Of profit.
The Post-1ntelligencer of Seattle,
Wash, gives a very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In Its issue Of December ii, 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-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
Whatever may be said of wheat
culture as a profitable ~avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning Of
the wal it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
II to 25 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 tntelligently 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 of
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
war is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming
Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last full.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
the growing Of wheat is not the only
lnducement 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."-Ad'
