FINE CROPS SURE
Farmers in Western Canada
JubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put this
Naturally Fertile Land in Splen-
did Condition, and BountifuI
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
it be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from famed Medicine Hat In
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, in
dicate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that golf 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 Vest
ern Canadian farm, my boy writes
me they had some snow, and a few
cold dips, but what did that matter?
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-
rtes, 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
a 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-
by showers of rain, ard
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
ook forward to an abundant harvest.
There is great deal that can be
,aid in favor of the climate of West
,rn Canada The most important is
hat those who live there, and have
ived in other countries, prefer it to
my they have experienced elsewhere
t Is true the winters as rule are
Older than are those in countries
ying much farther south, but it is
lso true that they are tempered by
dryness of the atmosphere that
makes lower temperature preferable
o that several degrees higher where
reater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ion and listlessness are unknown;

NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MAN
Young Corn Husk Evidently Was
Never Intended for High Place

j. D. Rockefeller. Jr., said in a Y
NJ. G. A. address:
"The successful business man today
is one who knows how to choose his
managers. A successful modern busi-

handle. SO managers are essential,
and if these managers are badly
chosen, failure follows.
"The unsuccessful business man is
apt to depute authority to such crea-
lures as young Corn Husk
young Corn Husk's dady sent him
to the mill one day to try to sell the

Corn got hold of miller and sub

"'How much more has your father
got like this?
"'He amt got no more like it,

Wheels Of Court Move QuickIy-
Earned Not Only for Accuracy and
ReIentIessness, but for Fair
ness and Efficiency.

Trenton, n. Undressing light has
been thrown on the operation and
speed ''of Jersey justice" as result
of recent convictions for murder and
other crimes While misdemeanors
and felonies have increased in New
Jersey, as elsewhere in the country in
the last year or so, state records show
that there have been few disagree
ments OF juries, and prison sentences
have been extended to maximum linn
its in order to discourage violations Of
the law.
One feature of New Jersey law tha,
few, If any, of the other states have,
and which is said to have been a
prime factor in giving the state its ira
ditional repute ton for lIghtninglike
court procedure, is a provision that
jury in a first degree murder trial may
designate life Imprisonment Instead OF
the death penalty for the convicted
person. This has resulted in many
quick convictions for life imprison-
ment where, otherwise. there might
have been jury disagreements.
