Clabby Given . Benefit In Australia
JIMMY CLABBY, who has re-
III tired from the ring and en-
tered the marriage ring, was
given a big benefit show at Sgd
ney recently and grabbed off quite
a few buckets of jack.
On the night Of the benefit many
old-timers appeared, among then
being Dial Hawkins, Jim Barron,
Dave Smith and Clabby himself.
Corbett, the Wandering Minstrel.
Tim CORBETT, the actor, who
was once prominently men,
u toned as a boxer, is now on
his way to the Pacific coast with
his troupe. San Francisco sporting
men are getting ready for James
arrival. Members Of both the
Olympic Club and the Indoor Yacht
Club will stage big receptions for
him 1t was at the Olympic Club
that Jim made his rep as sparrer.
It was at this same club that he
used to fight Joe Choynski at least
once a week. 1t was at the Olym-
pic Club that he first got a peek at
Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, and
boxed with him
Frank Moran's Opinion Of Dempsey
r T was after the affair at To
ledo in the lobby of the Hotel
- Secor that Frank Moran gave
the writer his opinion of the pres
ent champ, Jack Dempsey
Frank was at the ringside that
day and had bet a big chunk on
willard. After the fight, while
laughing at his judgment, Frank
said:
Dempsey won, yes, but the fell
low can't hit. He knocked that big
Jess over all right but he couldn't
keep him on the floor. When I
hit those boys they don't move a
foot after they hit the carpet. Mr..
Dempsey can't hit, that's all there
is to It."
Queer notion, wasn't it?
You remember that Moran hit
Willard once or twice in ten rounds
and didn't even stagger him. He
missed him SGT times before he fl
nally landed.
Dempsey hit willard the very
first time he let go his left. Jess
didn't drop from the first sock,
but a moment later did hit the
floor, and every time he hit it he
hit it hard.

special kiddies, who have delighted
audiences in the popular Booth Tark

TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING
OF Big Advantage to Farmer to De-
tsrmine Purity and termination
Of Various Grains.

Whether the seed is for sale or f.
his own use on the farm, the farmer
will find it to his advantage to test
his seed, or have it tested, for purity
and termination. In making a purity
test, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. it is Gus
tomary to determine the percentage of
pure seed, inert matter such as dirt,
chaff, and broken seeds, and foreign
seeds, including weed and other kinds.
A sample is taken varying in weight
from l to 100 grams or more "a tea
spoon for the clovers and small-seeded
grasses, a tablespoon for the grasses,
and considerably larger amount for
cereal grains), depending upon the
size of the seed being examined. For
the termination test usually two lots
of 100 seeds each are placed on or
between blotting paper, canton fan
mel, or such material, and kept in a
room or chamber at temperature Of
60 degrees to 80 degrees +. for 3
to % days, depending upon the kind
of seed being tested.
Samples for purity and termination
tests may be sent to the seed labora-
tory of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington. D. c.,
or to the nearest branch seed labor

farm CHEAP Land
Why Western Canada Agricultu.
rists Are Smiling.
Low Overhead Expense and 6ountifut
Crops Have Enabled Thsm to
Overcome Agricultural
Depression.

The recent agricultural depression
brought to the eyes Of the world the
fact that one of its basic industries
was likely to suffer a severe blow un.
less steps were taken to secure rem.
edy. Physician after physician ap-
piled remedies, but even parliamenta-
rians and newspapers were unable
to place their finger on the pulse that
would respond. AS 1t appears today.
1t was spasmodic wave due to the
ebb and flow Of the tide Of readjust-
ment that was bound to follow dis
turbance such as the Great War
caused.
Psychologically 1t was bound to
change; there was certain to be re-
flex movement that would bring agrl-
cultural conditions back to the place
where they normally and rightly be-
long.
Efficiency and sound business judg-
ment are needed more In agriculture
today than ever before and are as Inn
pOrtant to the farmer as to railroad
company, or to q great steel corpora.
tiOn.
The farmer must endeavor to secure
an equal footing in the competition
for lower cost Of production. In
Western Canada the farmer has come
through the dark era with that forti-
tude and determination 30 peculiar to
q new country and is meeting the
changed situation with energy and a
smile. In Western Canada the farmer
is not hamperad by an annual over
nf tnf
high-priced land. He Is able to pro-
duce mt n minimum. because his land
value seldom exceeds $50 an acre.
Owing to the fact that he is farming
land the price of which Is from $25
to $50 an acre. producing crops Of
wheat running from 20 to 40 bushels
per acre. and other grains in propor-
tion. he Is able to produce ut low
cost. In addition to this. fact which
should not be lost sight Of. Is the large
area that he can farm at low cost. CIV
Ing him an added advantage in reduc-
ing the cost Of production.
The corn that the farmer fully ex-
pected to bring him over dollar q
bushel, he saw carried away to the
market, and bring back 80 or 40 cent
check. Wheat for the whole Of Cam
ada averaged SO cents n bushel in 1921
as compared with $1.82 In 1920; oats
81 cents as against 53 cents; barley
At cents as against SO cents. Other
grain prices similarly fell. While
other parts Of the continent. where
grain-grOwing Is carried on, have suf-
fered in like manner by deflation in
prices. they have had to face much
higher cost in production. such as high
rents. high-priced farms, and high
taxes. Farmers had calculated on re-
celving war or nearly war figures for
their grain and therefore were amply
justified In submitting to the tax that
soaring land prices set upon them.
Western Canada fortunately did not
suffer from inflated land prices. There
fore. when grain prices fell, the losses
sustained were not so great: they did
not cut out the margin of profit. eI-
ceptlng in some cases where some cii-
matte conditions caused it.
Why not take advantage Of the
Homeseekers' rate to any point In
Western Canada, of return rate single
fare plus $500. and get information
from the nearest Canadian Govern
ment nt?-Advertlsement.
