CROPS AND PROFIT.
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS.
ING ON AGRICULTURISTS
Farmer on Low-Prieed, Fertile Lands,
Still to Be Had, Is in Best
Possible Position.

The economic problems connected
farm crops and the financing of the
movement of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
will be solved. however. and while
that solution Is being worked out 1t
Is simply good sense on the farmers
part to make his efforts toward pro-
duction tell to the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
IF depression and hard times and
placing him In the best position TO
take the greatest possible advantage
Of the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock.
Is almost invariably the largest crop
which can be obtained. Or in other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself In the adj
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study. and must apply
the results of his study to such prob
lens as soil fertility. It's conservation
and Increase; soil moisture. It's con-
troll; cultural methods. suitable and
productive varieties. etc. etc.
The question is how can you best
accomplish and secure these things2
Can they be done on high-priced lands,
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may be had from that grown
and raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production is fully ns great rs
that Of the high-priced lands? The
answer is unquestlonnbly I'm favor of
the low-prlced lands, when they are
selected because Of their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
II Is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands Of Western
Canada would prove n splendid and
ready solution. but to emphasize the
fAct that I'm order to overcome your
present difficulty. to remove some of
the burden that you are laboring I'M
der, you must secure some line of
cheaper operation. whether II be re-
moval to other parts In your own
country where such opportunity may
Offer. or take advantage OF that which
Western Canada affords.

WOULD DIVIDE UP INDUSTRY
Prominent Manufacturer Believes Con-
oestion in Large Cities 10 in
Nature Of an Evil.

Have the great industrial centers OF
the United States reached their max
imum growth? A leading manufactures
believes that they have. that the time
has come TO break up the congestion
of workers In large cities, and to get
back TO the small communities with
industry. His theory is that the
massing of industrial workers In q
large city is bad for the country. and
that anything which is bad for the
country is In the long run bad for
industry. He announces that he has
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that Industries can be taken TO the
people who live close TO the SOIL and
that he expects 10 expand his own
Industrial activities along this line.
His idea is that instead of nous
Ing large industry In a single large
plant or group of plants in city IL
can be broken up into small units, and
each unit can be successfully operated
In small town, where IL will provide
employment for the class of people
who leave small towns for the indus
trial opportunities of the cities, and
also part-time employment for farmers
who are now unable to pake a salts
factory living on small farms. The
water power available In many. small
towns will provide the power for the
factory, and the factory will provide
power for the towns utilities. In this
way. he believes. the towns can be
made attractive enough to hold the
workers. and the whole scheme will
save them from the unwholesome life
