This probably as much as anvtbine
else will give some idea of the state
of mind of the Western Canada farm.
er, as he watches the tally from thA
| thrashing machine while his wheat IL
being carried to the elevator.
! From all sections of the country
the most optimistic reports are re-.
ceived, the local and city papers ara
filed with reports from twenty to thir.
ty bushels of wheat to the acre, while
In some places oats are showing s. rec.
ord of as high as 100 bushels to the
acre.
| Referring to Saskatchewan, It is con.
| fidently expected that the wheat weld
will be nearly 125 million bushels
Heavy rains which fell in districts that
| did not promise so well in July. had
greatly improved the prospects there,
and there is no question that paving
yields win be produced. The Yields
in the eastern part of the province
may not show to the advantage that
will those Of the western part. but
too much cannot be said of this. for it
is the results as they come from tho
machine, and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There is now every reason to believe
that the wheat crop of the three pral-
rie provinces will approach $50 MIL
lion bushels.
Alberta viii exceed the 20 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably
higher than it has been in Ahe province
in any of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in a
recent report gave the opinion that it
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that it might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most of the wheat in, the province
when the report was written, stood
we'll up to three feet high, and on
some fields was still higher. The re-
port goes on that m parts of South
ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to
the acre yields will not be uncommon,
while there viii be good many yields
of from thirty to thirty-ive bushels
to the acre.
In the northwest part of the prov.
fnce, in the country surrounding Bat.
tleford and adjacent to the Canadian
National Railway line to Lloydmlnster,
and south the crops are excellent and
the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
is being thrashed in Manitoba. It has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 225.000,000 bushels. and it may
be that somewhere between 250,0O0-
600 and 300,000,0O0 bushels will be the
final figure.
Oats is good crop in all three
provinces. This crop has also grown
rapidly during the last two or three
weeks. Excepting from those fields
which were sown late for green feed
the yield will be heavy and the grain
excellent. Barley and rye are above
the average. There was sufficient help
to harvest the crop.--Advertisemen

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-12-20
toe late. I was i'll ell day yesterday ny
Christmas Bits.

Only about a third of the worlds non.
ulation has ever heard of Christmas, let
alone celebrating it.
In the Balkans it is believed that to
die on Christmas day is of i'll omen as
regards ones place in the after-death life.
Alistletoe is a comparatively recent
favorlte for Christmas decoration. In
the 18th century rosemary, bay and
holly were used.
Among the various Slav peoples Christ
mas and the beginning of the New Year
are commonly called the Great Christ
mas and the Little Christmas.
In Scandinavian countries it is be-
IeYed that the powers of evil are pc
r-culiarly- active on Christmas eve. but
from Christmas day to January 18th
are inactive.
That bathing on Christmas dav en-
sures freedom from both fevers and tooth
ache during the coming year is one of
the old-time superstitions which still ex-
lists in France.
An abundance of berried holly is said
to be a sign of a long and hard winter.
Tn French have a queer belief that
bread baked on Christmas eve will keep
fresh for ten years.
Christmas day falls on a Sunday. Tues
day and Thursday fifty-eight times. and
on Friday and Saturday fifty-seven times
for every ~fifty-six times it falls on a Mon
day or Wednesday.
The word Yule has in reality nothing
to do with Christmas. 1t is an old Scan
dinavian word-signyfying the winter
%soltice, which was always kept as a
feast by the old heather Goths.
In the olden time the Yule log was al
ways laid aside before it was burnt out.
so that the e Christmas day the new
Iule log might be lighted from the
charred remains of its predecessor.
At one time young men might take
as many kisses from a maid as there
were berries on the mistletoe bough. and
another kissing fancy was that he might
go on kissing until a berry fell, had he
a mind to.
In the middle ages it was generally
believed that at Christmas time all trees
and pants became specially intelligent.
Hence the many legends of trees opening
their branches and screening the holy
family in their flight into Egypt, when
pursued by Herod's soldiers.
One of the most general superstitions
about people born on Christmas day. a
superstition that will be found in many
countries, is that they nave the power
of healing by laying on of the hands, and
of second sight, They are held to pos
scss some hidden magnetic power which
enables them to soothe anyone in pain.
and so help them on their way to recovery
and perfect health.

WHITE GIFTS AT
BAPTIST CHURCH
Music, Story and Christmas Poem Also
Included in Service-Sf20 in Cash
for Christmas Baskets.

Yesterday was observed by the Baptist
Bible school as Christmas Sunday.
The attendance of upwards of go
with correspondent interest and enthusi
asln at the noon session, paved the way
to an unusually large attendance mt the
white gifts service IN the evening.
Promptly at Z o'clock the lights were
dImmed and the, oFgaRiSts began, playing
very. softly familiar Christmas airs. the
members of the school came in quietly
by classes from the chapel on either side
of-the- eAHFeh-aRa -teek-the4r--seats as
though fearful of disturbing the music
Of the early Christmas dawning.
\ children's chorus in one of the side
rooms was heard singing Holy Night,
and at its close Rev. c. r. Brownell of
fered prayer, after which the upper lights
were brought on and the program of the
evening proceeded.
After the reading of the story in verse
concerning the shepherds and the Herod-
ian plan the gift-bringing took place.
each class, from the beginners to the old
est, brought its gifts to the front and
placed them OF the white clothed capa-
cious tables. The gifts included rice.
canned goods of various kinds, pumpkins.
squashes and other vegetables, sugar in
abundance. tea and coffee, mixed nutS.
over two barrels of flour. and deposits
OF money by various classes aggregating
1920. etc.
The distribution of baskets will take
place Thursday morning in ample season
TOR the carrying of Christmas cheer to
many BrattleborO homes.
Next Christmas morning a chorus of
children, under the direction of Fred s..
Knight. the associate superintendent,
will visit the hospitals, the town home.
and the Home for the Aged. thus keeping
up the custom ~inaugurated many years
ago.
\ pleasing contribution to the evening
was a Christmas poem written by Miss
Mary r. Horton and read by Miss Len
ore Ayers. Miss Horton is spending the
winter at Martha's Vineyard.1
As if giving was the watchword
tand it was especially emphasized in the
pastors address, the school voted last
evening to bring next Sunday a special
Offering for the destitute and suffering
children of Europe.
h annual supper of the school will
be served next week Thursday. Dec. 80.
The beginners and primary children will
gather Wednesday afternoon, Dec. %.

DEER
UNUSUAL STUNT
Jumps Through Window Into Barn and
Out Through Another Window
Doe Killed on Harris Place,

Deer visited sections of Western ave
nue., Green and High streets. the high
school grounds, Main street and Harris
place yesterday afternoon, one performing
one being killed OF Harris place.
About 8 o'clock two deer came out of
the woods behind the Rev. Z. A. Slack
! house on the north side of Western ave
J nue.. One, a fawn, ran to the Walter S.
Pratt place, jumped into, the b~arnyard
and, finding itself cornered, attempted to
escape by jumping through a window of
ever, and the deer only cracked the glass.
The fawn then made a second attempt, in
which it was successful. This time it
went through a pane of glass 11@ by 10
inches in the barn door on the south side,
! making a clear break and not so much as
I cracking the window sash. The young
deer, which apparently had been scared
as it left the woods, made its escape by a
I wild lash through a window in the west
side of the barn. This time both panes
' of a two-lighted sash were broken. The
animal was cut, and bled profusely, but
as there was no snow in that section it
was impossible to track the animal.
While this was going on the. other deer,
a doe, proceeded across the avenue and
passed south between DIR. +. r. Newells
house and DIR. II. l.. WATERWAYS house,
thence to High Lawn road and disap-
peared.
y short time later a doe crossed Green
> street headed north, going between Don
II. Miller's house and l.. A. Whitney's
house, hem to the veranda at the home
of ]. +. Birch. 1t jumped from the We
randa and went toward the Chestnut
Hill reservoir.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock a doe was seen
to cross the high school grounds, thence
across Main street to Harris place. The
animal had been shot in the loin and had a
broken leg. 1t was caught by Joseph
SCUBA, an ex-army man, and Howard
Lang, an ex-navy man. and killed with
an axe. The report of the killing was
made to County Game Warden L. II. Met
calf, who is making an investigation.
