EXPECT BIC CROPS
Conditions in Western Canada
Please Farmers.
8ssdlno Has Been Begun Earlier Than
for Many Years, and Soil Is
in Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly IA
Sorable, the farmers OF Western Can
ala. with the exception probably of
q portion Of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than Tor some years past. IN some
carts of Manitoba there wsre floods
which delayed seeding, but shey have
sbared, and left the land il good shape
f0r quick work and speedy germina-
kfan- In Saskatchewan soil conditions
Cor seeding were never better. With a
generous quantity of snow, which after
axelfing left needed moisture, and an
other snowstorn after seeding was
dulshed, there was an ideal condition
Szaated From all parts " Alberta
there came the best of reports as to
ralnfall and SHOW moisture, leaving the
ground in the condition required for
sfze prospects Of a good crop.
Spring, as IN most other parts of the
continent. was backward, but notwith'
Standing this, as has been said, farmers
Wers able 10 get on the Ian earlier
tfzan for some years. In fact, seeding
Gas practically commenced about the
a2ah OF April, which to many readers
akay seem remarkable, when it Is
grE8pSa that several hundred miles far
tifer south it was NOT possible to do
spring seeding FOR several days later.
Reports 10 hand on the 10th of May
state that wheat Is up above the
ground in a great many places, oats
are being soUn, and corr planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile, but
the demand has fallen off. One fea-
flzYe OF the demand for farm help is
CHAT farmers are now employing help
1y the gear, at Of course smaller wages
41an those paid for special work. The
Increasing tendency to employ help by
the year is evidence that farmers are
nGf relying solely upon wheat growing,
bef are going out into other branches,
sseh as dairying, stock raising, etc.
Ifae prospects in all portions of West
ern Canada were never brighter than
&C present. Information regarding the

erIy planned any meal may De
stretched to include a chance guest,
without any n being %defrauded.
There is a fallacy called economy,
which consists of using everything
up; of course that is mos desirable
and to be commended, but when the
leftover to be used of ingredients
worth three cents must be combined
with foods costing five Or six times
that 1t Is not economy, unless the COM
bination Is especially well-liked.
A few slices of bread to a when
used with milk, for pudding, with
r~aisins, eggs and spices If the family
likes it, is worth while; IL not. put
those waste slices into the sour milk
over night to make into the griddle
cakes for breakfast. Or spread the
slices with butter and sprinkle gen.
erously with chopped rhubarb which
you are supposed to have in your gar
den, sprinkle generously with sugar
and bake until the rhubarb is soft and
the juices absorbed by the bread. Such
q dessert is wholesome, well-liked and
economical.
The ordinary ready-to-eat breakfast
foods are not economical, especially
in a good-sized family. For such let
them buy a few pounds of wheat at
the mill or from some farmer-if you
are not one-soak 1t over night-a
cupful or two-and cook on the back
of the range during the day when a
fire is In use. Serve with top milk;
this is a hearty meal in itself and will
make bone and muscle for the grow
ing boys and girls.
Perishable foods should be served
In small quantities, so that there will
be no l%eftovers. 1t is impossible to
avoid %leftovers and they must be ac-
copied as a necessary evil, served as
eppetizingly as possible; but avoid hav-
ing them.
