IRISH QUESTION SETTLED.

In THE Irish Question" in the
editorial columns of the Herald this
week we are enormously given credit
for having the Irish question Settled
to our own satisfaction. When In
fact the reverse is true. We don't
claim to be near so wise as the author
of the Herald article, and really, II
all the things we don't know about
ireland and the so-called Irish Ques-
ton were published in book form
the volume would perhaps be larger
than the author of said article would
have time to read within the next
year or so, except he abandoned some
of his other activities. We don't
care "tinker's cuss" about the re-
ligion of the Irish, whether 1t be
Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or what
not. There is a question of right and
wong, that's the only question in
volved. Everybody who knows any
thing at all about England and Ire
land, is aware of the fact that Eng
land rules by might, whether 1t be
right or not. She certainly has no
better right to rule over and lay tri-
butte on the Irish than she had over
this country of ours back yonder when
George Washington, Tom Jefferson
and a few other rebels assisted by
Lafayette threw off the reign of the
adorable Britain. Kaiser William
will doubtless go to his grave under
the firm conviction that Providence
made a serious and grievous blunder
in not allowing he and his horde of
Huns to completely over-run and sub
due all of the world, under the con-
better for the over-powered to be un-
der the direction of his guiding hand
and all-wise counsel. Yet the world
did not, does not, neither will ii ever
adopt the ex-Kaiser's view. If British
reign over Ireland had originally been
question would have been materially
the vi INC NhOit
altered. Just because one happens
to hate everything catholic, as ii
seems to us, is no excuse for protest
ant wrong doing. The intolerable
and frightful Turk has, by his ruth
fulness and coldblooded murder sent
thousands and thousands of christians
on their way to the great beyond.
And this free Britain. has. if we mis-
take not, on more than one occasion,
saved this christian-eXtermina
empire from obliteratiOn. only to see
her fighting Britain and all of her
allies by the side of the German and
his cohorts. We think it purely self
ish interest that prompted Great
Brtain's aid TO the Turk and like
wise with selfish ends that she re-
tains her rule of Ireland. where in
fact there is considerable doubt as
to her moral right to do so.

deeming it purely internal matter.
According to reports from Fiume.
American attachments which have
been in Fiume have gone on ship

have been confined to their barracks,
probably to forestall a clash with the
d Annunzio forces. Gen. Badoglio,
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Italian
Army, has arrived at Fiume and has
issued proclamation to the d 'Annun-
zio soldiers to return to their respec-
tive units, but there is nothing to in
dictate his advices will be followed.
Capt. d'Annunzio, according to a
Belgrade dispatch, has proclaimed "a

WET LANDS ARE PRODUCTIVE
Most Fertile When Soil Moisture Is
Properly Observation-Disclosures
Is Recommended.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Wet areas in cultivated farm lands
usually are the most fertile when the
soil moisture is properly controlled, be-
cause generally they are depressions
in which more or less of the richest
soil from surrounding fields has been
washed. Farm drainage transfers
these unproSuctive places into highly
productive land, thus increasing the
profitable area and the acre yield.
while removing obstacles that increase
the time and effort required for farm
operations. ~
Recognizing the Importance of this
possible conservation of man power.
the drainage division of the bureau of
public roads recently has given first
consideration to projects looking to the
improvement of lands already under
some degree of cultivation or needing
only drainage to prepare them for the

Flowing Infested Fields.
Where it is not practical to pillow in

fields are among the best breeding
places for grasshoppers.
sists of bran or sawdust made tasty
aid attractive by the addition of mo-
lasses and fruit and treated with an
arsenical poison. The following for
mnla is recommended:
Bran (half-and-half bran and hard
wood sawdust, or sawdust alone), %
pounds paris green or crude arsenious
oxide, one pound, or white arsenic, III
pounds; molasses (cheap feeding
grade), two quarts; lemons, bananas
or oranges, six fruits, or one ounce Of
cheap lemon extract; water, about two
to four gallons.
The poison should be thoroughly
mixed with the bran. The water, mo-
lasses and finely chopped fruit or ex-
tract are then mixed and added. The
mixture should be wet so that it molds
in the hands, but is not "soppy." The
bait should be scattered broadcast at
the rate Of seven to ten pounds to the
acre, applications being made in the
early morning.
In clover or alfalfa much material
and labor can be saved by first cutting
around the field until there remains
small central uncut area where the
grasshoppers will have gathered and
may be quickly and cheaply destroyed
by the poisoned bait. If the grasshop-
pers are feeding in corn or young trees,
more water, or, better, more molasses
and water, should be added and the
mixture thrown forcefully so that the
particles will adhere to the crops to be
protected.

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form Ct urate salts--in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain combina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. he found this
combination to be harmless, SO that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he win tell you what to eat and
how to live SO that more uric acid viii not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce viii not
charge for this advice.

There are going to be lots of grass
hoppers during the summer of 1919 in
Indiana and other states in the grass
hopper belt, according to indications
found by entomologists Of the depart
ment Of agriculture and the state agri-
cultural colleges. Farmers are urged
to start a cleanup campaign against
them right away. Flowing to depth
of six inches and subsequent harrow
ing during the winter, at any event not
later than April 10, will cover the eggs
so deep that the young will not be able
to escape. When grasshoppers make
their appearance they can be destroyed
by the common poisoned bait method.
But there is another way of getting
rid of grasshoppers that makes the
pests pay for the trouble of killing or
catching them. This method consists
of driving a grasshopper catcher
through an infested field, catching all
the grasshoppers that hop, and then
feeding the insects to chickens. They
can be dumped into sacks and hung up
to dry and fed as dry grasshoppers, or
If it is preferred to feed the grasshop-
pers alive, the machine can be hauled
to the poultry yard and placed SO that
the front will face the light. The in
sects will find their way out, but not
too fast for an ordinary flock of chick
ems. Thus the grasshopper catcher be-
comes a poultry self-feeder.
An analysis Of grasshoppers shows
them to be high in protein, and there
fore good chicken feed. 1t is known
that chickens are more productive
when insects are a part of their ration
and grasshoppers when dried can be
used with other feeds during the win
ter.
How to Make Grasshopper Catcher.
The grasshopper catcher, which has
an advantage over the old style hop
perdozer, in that the insects can be
utilized for chicken feed, is about 16
feet long with an upright but curved
piece Of tin in front and so arranged
that the grasshoppers will strike it as
they hop up, falling to the bottom and
back through a narrow trap opening
into a box behind. The tin front does
not extend quite to the bottom, where,
just in front of the tin shield, is strip
of tin placed so that there is an open
ing about III or 2 inches wide. This
front strip or lip may be made by using
a 16-foot length Of gutter, one side of
which is flattened outward. The back
and top of the box in the rear is Gov.

ISSUANCE OF CROP REPORTS
United States Figures TeIegraphed to
Each Field Agent-Estimates
Given to Papers.

prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Each field agent of the bureau of
crop estimates, United States depart.
ment of agriculture, now publishes a
crop report from his own territory.
Immediately upon the issuance of a
crop report in Washington the United
States figures are telegraphed to each
agent, together with figures for his
particular territory. The agent at
once issues a mimeograph report with
comments on crop and weather condi-
lions in his state, copies of which are
furnished to the press and to crop re.
porters and published in full in many
dailies. In some of the states agents
now are issuing reports on county
basis. The service is winning warm
appreciation.
For this service in securing quickly
reliable reports along special lines de-
cided improvements have been made in
the organization of this bureau. Field
agents of demonstrated ability have
been employed; their Offices supplied
with clerks, telephones and other time
saving equipment; and every field
agent has a mimeograph and an adj
dressing machine. The field man now
is able promptly to make both general
and restricted special investigations,
either upon his own initiative or upon
telegraphic request from Washington.

Speaking with one of the commits
sioners appointed to make survey Of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds Of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders Of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummoc'-ed by bombs and shells,
many them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way Of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
Of leveling and getting under cultiva-
ton will take long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
on this side of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds of live stock
will have to be replenished, and this
will take years; the provisioning Of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to un-
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion Of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments of European neutrals for in
creased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm
er this means a demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat will
be required. The slogan don't stop
saving food" is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose of this article is to.
direct attention to the fact that hum

in Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this land is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
its rich grasses are easily raised-and
cheaply too-the cattle that will be
sought; in its soil lies the nutriment
that makes easy the production Of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer will be assured of good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
terms, and with the abundance Of re-
turns that it will give, 1t does not mean
matter Of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts, the low cost Of the land,
and its great productivity, combined
with the admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal Of
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive proposition.-Ad-
