YOUNG MAN, WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE, YOU
CAN DO

SOME SUCCESSFUL IRRIGATED CROPS
The crops that be grown successfully with irrigation
in Southern Alberta many and various and the devel
opment of these lands to their full capacity will materi-
ally increase the prosperity of the province Experience
is showing that in addition to wheat and other grains,
which form the bulk of the crop grown with rrga
ton many other crops that equally, if not
munerave to the grower be raised successfully AL
falfa is the chief of these This of the most i'm
pOraAt crops of the province and many farmers have
sold their hay this year at prices which amount to twice
much they gave for their land, and also twice
much what similar land be bought at the present
time Other fodder crops such covers vetches tame
grasses, give remarkable yields on these lands.
One of the most successful crops grown at Brooks,
Alberta this year peas At the government expert
mental farm there the yield approximately 40 bushels
to the acre. and they will bring about dol
lars bushe it is easily that anybody who had few
of them would be satisfactorily remunerated At
lethbrdge tomatoes grown on two acres OF irrigated
land in July and August sold for $5000 and the
plants still yielding well in September Crops of
potatoes yielding 400 to 700 bushels to the have been
taken off irrigated land in Southern Alberta. Sugar
beets, too successful crop All kinds of garden
produce, including canaloupes water melons, pumpkins,
cucumbers peppers, caulihowers cabbage, and other
kinds of vegetables too to mentions together
with strawberries raspberries goseberres, etc. also
grown and with equal success. The close proximity Of
much of this irrigated land to the railway will lead to it's
being extensively farmed than it has been many
crops that have hitherto been grown only compare
lively small scale will undoubtedly be produced in greater
ouantitiea

3 Chicago, Nov. 8.-Suspension of

to cause general selling Of corn

looked for. especially as q cold

sterling exchange and prospects
that the government crop report

tended also to weigh down values.

HEART TROUBLE
CAUSE OF DEATH
Jury Returns Verdict on Death Of
Harry I. Murray, Who Dropped
Dead Yesterday.

Harry T. Murray, who dropped
dead yesterday noon while at work
at the Frank foundry, Moline. came
to his death Is q result of chronic
endocarditis from exertion, accord
ing to the verdict given at the cor
oner's inquest held at 10 this
morning in the Estherdahl chapel,
Moline. Employees Of the foundry,
at first believed that his death was
caused from tomatoes which he
had eaten for his lunch. Upon
questioning his wife Saturday
morning, 1t was learned that the
tomatoes were home canned and
that Mr.. Murray had been suffering
from stomach trouble for some
time,
DR.. A. T. Leopold, who was sum-
moned, testified that heart trouble
was the cause of death. According
to Mrs. Murray, the DECEASED ex-
perienced a general breakdown two
years ago from which he had
never fully recovered.
Funeral services will probably be
held in the Murray home, 25l1 Six
teenth street. Rock Island, befo e
the remains are taken to Viola,
Ill, where services will be held
Tuesday and interment will be
made.
