EARLY FARMING EXPECTED.
Continued in tomorrow
Evenings Herald.

Calgary, Alta, March 9.-That there
is every indication that farming OPP
c~rations wills open up much earlier
this year than for several years past,
is asserted by many farmers in the
southern Alberta district.
Considerable fall work was complel-
ed last year. which will help matters
when spring opens up. In the Warner
and Milk river districts discipg WAS
started on February IS, but had to be
abandoned owing to a. cold snap, but
with present warm weather work will
start again.
One OF the problems That will con-
front the farmers this year. it is gem
orally admitted. is that of labor. many
farmers stating they will not pay
more than sac a mo,+h and hoard. lf
they cannot get help at this figure
they say they will only SOW what land
they can take care of themselves.
Many Of them. however. express will
ingness to pay A bonus in addition to
the wages mentioned if there is q good,
crop this year and the grain is sold
at a fair price. -

WEDNESDAY, EVENING, MARCH ;.
RECALL PROCEDURE.

IhA ooc1dl0n as to whether or not
q recall election shall b. held. and,
II u, at what time, win be made by
tho Independent convention which is
to be held at Devils Lake. That fact
needs to be borne in mind.
The Committee Of u which met
recently at Fargo believed the recall
to be the only way out Of the situation
in which the state finds itself, and ex-
pressed itself accordingly. 1t took
preliminary steps for the holding of
a general convention where the whole
situation would be oanvassed. The
Independent members of the legisla-
lure concurred in that decision. There
the matter rests.
1t is possible. under the law. for
any individual or group to take the
initiative in precipitating a recall
election, and to circulate petitions for
signature. But the number of sig
natures required for a recall petition
is SO go; that V e with a, strong
sentimNe1~n favor of the movement
sufficient signatures could be secured
only by a fairly large and well organ
tied body. And.even with the assur-
ance of success in obtaining the neces-
airy signatures such q movement
would be futile if it did not originate
in a large and enthusiastic body OF
men thoroughly representative of the
sentiment for good government in ev-
cry section Of the state.
It is Tor the purpose OF ascertaining
what the sentiment throughout the
state is that the Devils Lake conven-
ton is to be held. and 1t will he for
that body to pass on all the argu-
nncnts that have been presented and
all the recommendations hat have
been made.
The Herald believes mat the prin-
cipal league officials Of the state and
several members Of the legislature
ought to be recalled. 1t is convinced
that in no other way can the credit
of the state be re-establshed and
its affairs be placed on a satisfactory
basis. It recognizes that there are
still many voters who do not yet un-
dsrstAad what the situation In; but it
is confident that that understanding
can be reached within q reasonable
time. and that when it 10 reached
there will be no question of the uc-
cess of the recall movement,
But The Herald wishes TO make
clear that its understanding Of the
purpose Of the convention is that that
gathering shall go over the entire lt-
uation, ascertain all the ESSENTIAL
facts, shall weigh then. carefully, and
shall then decide what further action
shall be taken.
In the meantime, let it be remem-
bered that the state government re-
mains in the hands of men who have
abused and d~ebauched it, who have
proven themselves unworthy Of trust.
and who ought to be removed at the
earliest possible moment.

Raising the Forms.

The raising of the forms on IA large
silo is quite a problem. After the silt
has been built above reach of the
ground, it is Of course necessary tic
have scafrolding. and there are mar.
ways OF building up as the silo i.
built. That is. in not having any
EscanoldinK above the forms. This
can be accomplished by the-use Of
short material which may be spiked
on as the forms need to be raised
stlo.
II the silo 10 not to be built more
than 80 feet high. and 1t is possible
to secure = telephone pole on which
a derrick may be built for raising the
concrete, it 10 quite an easy matter to
raise the platform Is the walls go up
That is, the derrick for raising the
concrete could be set outside, and en-
tirely independent of the sno. Such
q derrick may be made so that the
concrete can be swung over the silo
as 1t is raised.
1t 10 advisable to raise the outside
form frst.s and get it into place, and
care must at all times be taken to see
that the form does not get out Of
shape. Before raising the inside
forms, the proper place at which they
should rest should be marked on the
sca6olding. and provision made for
resting them on supports. =.
When the inside form is raised and
fastened in position, it should be
carefully trued up by Measuring
across the diameter In several direc-
tons. spacers should be used At ire.
to hold tho forms at exactly the right
distance apart. Care must be taken
in filling not to put too much con
crete in one place, as this would have
la tendency to get the forms out of
shape.
The reinforcemeQts should be put
in before there Is any cement used,
and 1t is also advisable to wet the TOP
Of the wal. and sprinkle on 1t . small

thsre will b no chance for leaking.
The concrete when poured into the
form, should be sufficiently thin to
run into place. But It IL desirable 10
use a thin board or tile spade Toy

certain that thu cement has nlled up

be done against the form, both inside
