BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised GOO
Bushels on TWO Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
In the Nelehborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

As q by-product the yield Of potatoes
on the farm Of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is In the
Medicine Hat district 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 a little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down q 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
| tired Anyway, Ben Pawson likes 1t.
Last year he grew six hundred bush
els Of potatoes IN two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call II.
When he couldn't work at 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 hum
bred bushels, end he sold the whole
lot for $685.. Ben Is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this In
the nelghborhood.
If one might speak of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage of this
license 1t 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 a good deal OF
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $4,000 mark on the Calgary market
1t doesn't cost much to raise a hog
and very little to bring him to a weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost muchl Ger
tainly not. But what about the man Wit
recently paid $3.50 for a Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That mar
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 q good crit
ter than a poor one" That is the rea
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The besI
is none too good. The same may bt
raid Of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep
too. The very best sires and dam;
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, it is felt tina
the demand for pure-bred stock a
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise

CONTROL SHEEP-KILLING DOG
Secretary of Agriculture Asks Twenty
Governors to Urge Laws Pro-
teeting Sheep.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A~griculture,)
The enactment of more adequate
state laws TO control s%heep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
a letter just sent to the governors of
20 states. The secretary points out
that, although there has been a graft
flying increase in the number of sheep
in the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion Of
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account of the dan.
ger of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors of Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indi.

New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla

ginla, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures are now In
session. Following is the letter:
81 understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter Of
legislation to encourage the larger de-
velopment of the sheep industry by re-
moving or controlling the dog menace
During the past year, as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying In
crease in the number of sheep in the
United States. There is undoubtedly
o in many sections of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially in the settled farming areas,

partment, however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in many

QUESTION OF
.A|NDO0 PERIL
TO Be Sc n 7
TO CONGRESS
Assemblyman Brown, Re-
turning Home for a Brief
Stay, Talks About Wide.
ly-Discussed Bill.

With the bill apparently blocked
because of the international phases
involved, Assembylman j. Stanley
Brown, on his return from Sacrament
to today declared that in all proba-
bility he would carry his fight against
the "Hindu menace" to the federal
government.
81 do not know yet exactly the sta
tus of my bill to prohibit the leasing
of lands to Hindus, but it is very
likely that because of the interna-
tional complications it will have to
be droppepd," said the assemblyman.
"We may be able to solve the whole
problem by memorializing Congress
to carry the matter to the Peace Con-
gress, where the treaties which bind
The nations of the world will be in
process of change and amendment.
Thus we may get some concrete re-
suits.
"I have not given up my fight by
any means and have been constantly
receiving pledges of support from
my colleagues in the House. The
Hindus, through the attorney repre-
senting them in the San Joaquin val
ley, are fighting the bill, naturally,
but l will give them credit for fight
ing fairly.
The assemblyman returned home
last night and made his appearance
on the street this morning. From
the minute his Van Dyke beard was
spotted by the multitude he was the
recipient of real levee, scores COM
ing up to shake him by the hand and
congratulate him on the work he has
already done in the legislature.
He came home to look after the de-
tails of the completion of his new
business block, known as the Brown
building. Incidentally, while here he
will confer with those boosting his
candidacy to the directorate of the
Imperial Irrigation District at a
meeting to be held Wednesday even
ing.
One of the most frequent questions
asked the legislator was the probable
fate or disposition of the county bill,
which was sent to the north leglsla-
tive action minus the approval OF the
Board of Supervisors. This bill, which
has haen the subject of much discus
sion, provides for increases in salar-
les to many deputies in county offl-
ces and for some increases in the
force of helpers.
Mr.. Brown asserts that he does not
know what his action will be in the
matter, owing to the local situation
developing. Also he declares that,
while the tendency in Sacramento is
to secure a reduction in government
cost rather than to vote additional
tax burdens-and nearly every men,
her has a similarly framed county bili
for presentation-the matter Will DC
given fair consideration.
