fine CROPS sure
Farmers in Western Canada
!lublIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Splen
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

what delightful winter we have
had" is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
Ject of conversation. Not only In the
Middle West and down east" could
1t be heard, but also In the Far West,
up In the Canadian West. There
tie same remarkable features that
brought forth a wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from famed Medicine Hat in
Alberta TO Winnipeg in Manitoba, in
dictate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that gclf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught 'red-handed" blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan. one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. "Why, yes, of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm. my boy writes
me they had some snow, and few
cold dips, but what did that matter2
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery Is
all in shape for a springs work, and
he Is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
q perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go in In the
condition required for successful GER
mination. Then, with the heightened
days Of May and June, the many
hours of sunshine that they bring, ac-
companled by showers of rain, and
with a soil of which there is none
richer nor more generous. there will
be seen preparing for ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands OF
acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward TO an abundant harvest.
There Is a great deal that can be
said In favor OF the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important Is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer 1t to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
1t is true the winters as rule are
colder than are those In countries
lying much farther south. hut It is
also true that they are tempered by
dryness OF the atmosphere that
makes a lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ton and listIessness are unknown;
the air is bracing but the cold Is not
penetrating. Then the summers ami
the autumns-they could not be more

Not over a third OF the so-calIed
dairy cows of the United States are
profitable to their owners. Ten mil

yield is worth less than their feed.

Why stiffle industry and discourage
the use of electric current by raising
light rates when a readjustment of
running expenses might have taken
care of the approximate deficiency in
figuring the 1921 financial budget for
the town. Smyrna has gone to a
great expense to remodel its plant for
continuous electric current and the
thing now to do is to offer every en-
couragement to induce the public to
use more current. There are num-
Der of homes in Smyrna not even wiz
ed. In Salisbury and other towns a
bid is made for electric stoves in COM
petition with gas. Isn't it possible
for Smyrna to do likewise? Lower
rates and a greater volume of busi-
ness is one way of inducing business.
Why not encourage the use of electri-
city so long as it yields a reasonable
profit over what it costs to manufac-
ture?

No matter what the Legislature
may do about the school budget, let
us hope our Board of Education will
not lay down on the new high school
building proposition which our citizens
recently endorsed by such an over
whelming referendum vote. What
ever is done regarding the bond issue
for this building fund, must be done
between now and July. The present
schools have outgrown their quarters
and it will be welcome news to learn
our School Board had borrowed the
money, awarded the contract and were
ready to start work as soon as the va
cation period of schools begin.

It is unfortunate that the affairs of
the Flax Corporation are not in shape
to distribute the seed and secure the
acreage they so much sought. Seed
planting time is here and the delay
will cost them many tons of fax
straw. Farmers have become impa-
tient and are putting their fax ground
in other crops. While there is disap-
pointment and more or less talk, Mr..
Charles D. Stockly, president of the
corporation is being highly commend
ed for his attitude in wanting to treat
the farmers of his home community
on the square and to take no definite
steps until his corporation is fully
ready to back up all promises.

having the laborer, the material and the

The Journal again suggests that five members
from the building trades, five from the material
men, five from the contractors and five from
the public, get together in Albuquerque and at

building costs and fix a figure which is not
prohibitive. In judgment, paralysis in the
industry with idleness and sales the result,

TOO MUCH POWER.

good neighborly soul, of good intent but
enamored of things they to the exclusion
of things they ought to be, tells us that Mr..
j. P. Morgan, of New York. and his financial
friends, quite right in their objection to the
establishment of the precendent of the government
helping any special interest by extraordinary legs-
lation. He refers to the plan to revive the War
Finance Board in aid of the livestock industry.
We quite agree with our friend in his
structures again class legislation. But when the
needs of a class have been entirely ignored in the
course Of regular legislation administration,
how is it to be saved from extinction except by
remedial or auxiliary legislation for its benefit?
We will concede everything else IL corre-
spondent will concede that the needs of the live
stock industry should have been considered when
the administrative rules of the reserve board were
in the makng-but was not. Corrective legislation,
to relieve a neglected industry, is hardly class
legislation.
Anyway, Mr.. Morgan does not feel so deeply
against class legislation when it is a protective
tariff for his steel trust which is being enacted.
The federal reserve system is built after Mr..
Morgan's own heart. The legislation is general
very general In fact, it is so general that the
reserve board has practically plenary powers in its
application. BY the simple ruse of deciding what is,
and what is not, eligible paper for rediscount,
the trick is turned. Everything which Mr.. Morgan
and his group, want re-discounted is declared
eligible. What they do not want re-discounted Is
ineligible. How very simple!
The whole thing is made to go far beyond the
scope of legitimate banking supervision. Do they
want the oil bushes to boom? All right, admit
paper, backed by settled oil production, for re-
discount. Money becomes easy and the business
thrives. Do they want the oil business depressed?
Very we'll! refuse to re-discount this same paper.
Immediately the times tight in the oil country.
God never made any little group of men who
wise enough and righteous enuogh to have
any such throttle hold on the prosperity and hap
pines of a great nation as is possessed by the fed
eral revenue board.
