BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
In the Neighborhood-llve
Stock Men Prosper.

As by-product the yield Of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta. was somewhat of pay
ing proposition. Coaldale Is In the
Medicine Hat dist. ict Of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is a place, pictured In the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival. and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a
rather unenviable place on the map.
But 1t isn't half as bad as 1t is pic
tured. Anyway. Ben Pawson likes 1t.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els of potatoes on two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation. or rain,
as the less cultured would call 1t.
When he couldn't work ut his hay or
grain, because Of the damp mornings.
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for S2S5. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this In
the neighborhood.
If one might speak Of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
d! of literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage Of this
license It will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
| the only feature of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having good deal Of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the S23.0O mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
| of 200 pounds. Don't cost much Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers
in Western Canada are doing today.
| he Is acting on the old saw" that
at costs no more to raise n good crit
ter than q poor one" That Is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
is none too good. The same may be
said of horses, cattle yes, and sheep.
too. The very best sires and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, 1t is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise-
