Pershing In Accord.
Discussing the machine gun situa-
ton, Baker declared that criticism Of
the department over the Lewis gun
has been baseless.
F1e said General Pershing did not
desire the Lewis gun for ground work.
Every effort is being made to get the
manufacturers of the Lewis gun to
speed up production for aircraft work,
Baker said. .
I'VE found last June that French
artillery production had reached such
proportions that it was evident the
wastage would not nearly equal the
production.
Therefore, France agreed on July

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year
but the price obtained was double that
OF 1916, which in turn was almost
double that of the year before.
AS was the case in 1915 and 1915
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evil
~dence Of the prosperity Of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
in every twenty of the population Is
now the owner of an automobile. II
the farming community alone is taken
it will be found that the proportion OF
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities OF
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding
IN Winnipeg $50O,OO0,OO0 more was
cleared in the II months ending No
vember 80 than in the same months a
year ago.
The entry of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting a greater production of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers wonderful Opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price Of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years. there are millions Of acres OF
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at a low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1913. It is larger than In 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see a further increase in
tive stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid.
erable sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western Farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that it was impossible to meet 1t
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase of between % and so per cent
In 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest It
in the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States, are now fighting.-Advertise.
