GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers of Western Canada Re-
ioice at Harvest.
Largest Crop in the History Of tn.
Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
sldereJ Assured.

Reports of Western Canada's wheat
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate, as they are made at the
n of the season, when the crop Is
fully harvested, would indicate a
yield of between 350, 100000 and &c.,
100000 bushels from n total acreage
Of 21,471 900. This Is the greatest
yield in the history of the provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. This immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies of all public bodies-rail-
ways n governments. 1t required
the assistance, outside of hat locally
employed, of upward of 10000 men.
These were brought into the country
from the East, the West and the
South, by trainlOads. and rushed for
ward at express speed, to be placed in
the different districts, under the direc-
ton of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, of the needs.
AS a result of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop in the history
of the West was successfully harvest
ed. The threshing reports show that
almost universally. In every section
of the country, the grain graded high.
In very few places did rain interfere
with stacking. The province of Mani
toba was the first to complete thresh-
ing, very few fields being left at the
time Of writing.
Portions of saskatchewan that had
suffered from drought for the past
two or three years reaped a crop that
largely made up for past disappolnt-
ments.
In Alberta there was a strange con-
dition. In the central district, always
noted for its heavy yields. there was
considerable Of n falling Off. Instead
of the 80 and 40 bushel yields the
average ran from 10 to u, while in
southern portions, where drought had
affected the country for some time
past, there were exceptionally high
yields.
Reports of individual yields in diff
ferent portions of the three provinces
lead to the impression, that when
threshing returns are in there will be
found TO have beer a much better crop
than at present seems possible. Some
of these returns give individual farm
ers as getting as high as 45 bushels
others 30, and so on, while in some
districts, where I'm early August not
nor than 8 or 10 bushels might be
looked for, Is and 10 bushels are re-
corded, the Improvement having been
brought about by rains that worked
marvels in the appearance of the crop.
And then. too, instead of the head
carrying four rows, most of them car
ried six rows, and filed to the top,
which. to those who know. means at
least fifty per cent more.
The rye crop of all Western Can.
d Is exceptionally good; the oats
generally good and barley fair.
The weather at the time of writing
Is threatening for a rainy spell. which
may interfere with threshing, and pro
long Ii somewhat.
Most of the newcomers from the
States hay excellent crops. During
August, the trains to Western Canada
carried hundreds OF capitalists and
others Interested In Western Canada
land, going up to take care Of the crop
that they had arranged to have put
in on he land they owned. Very few
of them will be dlsappointed.-Adver-

NATIVE PLANTS OF NO VALUE
AS SOURCES OF RUBBER

Agricultural College News Notes
Recent studies have shown that
quite a number of plants growing in
the ard regions of the west contain
rubber. OF these plants, rabbit-brush,
certain milkweeds and the Colorado
rubber plant, sometimes called rabbit
weed, have been investigated and in
formation quite exact in character is
available. Large areas of rabbit
brush may be found throughout the
lower mountainous regions of Colo
radO, whereas the rubber bearing milk
weeds, and the Colorado rubber plant
are decidedly more restricted in distri-
button. Rabbit-brush is also quite
abundant in the Great Basin region.
While the rubber from these sour
ces seems TO be of fair quality, the
rubber content of the individual plant
is very small. Again, the process Of
extraction would be very simple, but
the expense of harvesting and ship
ing the shrub would be very great.
These and other facts seem to warrant
the conclusion that the native plants
can have no value whatever as sources
of commercial rubber gum.
In view of the fact that a number
of inquiries have been received con-
eerning these plants, an information
bulletin now in course of preparation
will be published in the near future
by the Colorado Experiment station.

YUMA DOES 1T DIFFERENT"
Agricultural College News Notes

Agricultural College News Notes
Community spirit is something fire.
quently talked about but rarely en-
countered in actual operation. There
fore an example of it is worthy Of
place in News Notes, as q means Of
spreading the thought. The present
example comes from Yuma, Colorado,
where the spirit was encountered by .
representative of the Agricultural col
lege not long ago.
Yuma Does 1t Different is ths
slogan that heads the bulletin on COM
munity improvement which was issued
in poster form. This gives the creed
upon which the Yuma idea rests, -
follows:
This community believes in the ed
ucation of its children and youth. Our
new modern high school building, with
its splendid equipment, is the best In
this part of the state.
This community believes in prog
ress and efficiency. Its business blocks
and municipal plants are up-to-dats
and built for maximum service.
This community believes in civic
beauty. Wide streets, level lawns and
terraces make the town attractive and
better still.
This community believes in the
home. Neat, comfortable, modern
homes show the substantial character
of Yuma's home loving citizens
One more thing about the Yuma
community spirit; it is not bound BY
the limits of the town. but embraces
the tributary country, through = re-
alization of the fact that Yuma's pros
perity rests wholly upon the success
of the farming industry.

his dry farm crop this year. for he
did have a crop although i; was the
dryest year on record. From 100 acres
he threshed 1900 bushels of oats but
expected 1000 from that acreage un-
der ordinary conditions. However,
oats are starting at good figure
which will help out Winfield states
that ne cannot understand why pota-

In 1919, when the Republicans as

In 1919, when the Republicans as
sumed the reins of government in Col
orado, wheat was bringing about 50
a bushel. At this time, still under Re-
publican administration, wheat is
bringing about so cents a bushel. The
average tax levy for all purposes in
the state in 1918 was 1887 on each
81 600 of assessed valuation. In 1921
it was s26.6s cents. This means that
the farmer could pay the taxes on his
farm in 1918 at the rate Of nine
bushels Of wheat for each 81 900. This
year it requires 33 bushels Of wheat to
pay the taxes on each 81 900. That is
one of the chief reasons why the
farmers are going to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket on November Z.

STOCK SHIPMENT DELAYED

Although stock shipments should be
going forward in large lots. and Gun

layed and departure doubtful on ac-
count of lack of power 20 move the
trains. The effects of the shopmen's
strike are becoming more evident as
time passes, in the shape of crippled
engines and bad-order cars
The coal supply is also threatened
by the power shortage, as even from
Baldwin, but twenty miles up the
line, il is well nigh impossible TO Sc
cure shipments. The local coal deal
ers are now considering the possible
necessity of putting on truck lines of
some sort to keep US from freezing
this winter. We may have to resur-
rect the horsedrawn wagons and sleds
and go to it as Of old. Maybe it will
come TO a question of shouldering the
aS and going forth into the forest TO
secure wood TO keep the pot boiling.

terror and Permits Inser.
ton of Forceps

PHILADELPHIA. March lo.-Public-
lty attached to the recent successful
operation on young Kansas City girl
here for the removal o. pin from her
bronchus has drawn attention to a
curious surgical instrument invented
for such purpose
The bronchoscopc appears simple
enough to the eye. Roughly, it is a
straight metal tube more than one
quarter of an inch in diameter and
about 1872 inches long. A tiny wire
runs down the tube and there is an
electric light at the bottom, which
enables the surgeon to see into the
interior of the lungs, bronchus or
stomach. The foreign object is first To-
Gated by means of X-rays and then the
tube inserted through the mouth into
the lung or stomach. An especially
designed pair of forceps is then in
serted through the tube into the part
affected and the object removed
Among various objects that have
been removed from the lungs or stom-
achs Of patients in this city are safety
pins, common pins, hatpins, false teeth,
tacks, sewing needles, staples, hypo-
dermic needles, coins and watch charms.
