YEAR OF ADVANCE
Canada Rightly Proud Of Its
Achievements in 1922.
Has Bravely Met and Overcome De.
preston Following the War-Finan-
eial Standing as Nation High.

The year 1922 In Canada, Western
Canada particularly, has been year
of quiet achievement. II there has
been nothing In its development of
spectacular nature, there has been
steady growth, resolute elimination
Of things immaterlal to prosperity.
The year 1923 is entered upon by
the people of the West in high hope
that 1t ushers In period of prosperity
based upon the productivity of the
country and the vast riches Of Its
natural resources.
Canada, in common with all other
nations, has felt keenly the cycle Of
depression following the spurious
activity and inflated business coming
Immediately after the cessation of the
war 1t has met and overcome many
obstacles in the path Of its prosperity.
The year just passed, however, has
seen the silver lining peep out from
the edges of the dark cloud and has
demonstrated to the world the celerity
which this country can adjust itself to
changed conditions. This is evidenced

currency back to par, and even for
time above par. 1t did this in the fsce
Of what seemed insuperable difficult
ties, increased Its exports, lessened its
imports, and generally set Its business

The high standing of Canada as
nation is shown by the ease with
which her bonds are absorbed and by
the high prices paid for them, and

recent f1Otation obtained higher

Western Canada In 1922 harvested
Its largest grain crop. Its production
of grain, live stock, cereal and dairy
products will, when all Is marketed.
produce In the nelghborhood Of bill

there still is felt considerable disap-
poIntment that the total value Is not
larger, but the fact remains that this
vast sum of money has come to the
West, or Is in the process of coming,
and II, as is undoubtedly true. much

cations Incurred in the past. 1t is but
safer and saner, If longer, road to that
prosperity to which all are looking.
In the process Of reaching this pros
perity 1t is inevitable that there must
be some failures.
AS matter Of fact, 1t is TIE opinion

1922 saw the corner definitely turned
and that 1923 will commence the up

SUCCESS WITH LIMA BEANS
Variety 10 Last Of Bean Family to Be
Planted; May Be Grown to
Stakes or Poles.

Tenderest of all the bean tribe and
last to be planted are the limas, one
of the finest garden vegetables. Both
the bush form and the pole varieties
are vegetables which should be found
in every garden.
Usually, the pole varieties are the
more satisfactory to gardening be-
glnner as they Yield much heavier
crop and usually give more beans in u
pod than the dwarf varieties. which
need good cultivation and plenty Of
room to develop.
There are many complaints about
lima beans falling to germinate. In
n majority of cases this Is due to one
cause. They weren't planted proper
~. The lima must be planted edge
wise with the eye down If termination
is to be Mt all certain. If you have
neglected this precaution and failed
with limas in the past try again and
stick the bean into the earth edgewise
and eye down and you will be reward
ed by seeing the big, healthy seed
leaves come pushing up to the light

Australian Cotton,

Crawford, Vaughan. managing di.
rector Of the Cotton Growing associa-
ton, speaks optimistically Of the pros
poets Of cotton growing in Australia
In 1921 under 100000 pounds of seed
cotton was grown, in 1920 1000 grow.
ers produced 100000 pounds. and in
1923 1t Is estimated that 5000 grow.
ers will produce minimum of 5000
600 pounds, and possibly 50,00OOO0
pounds. 1t is estimated that the
present acreage, 10000 will be doubled
In 1924. The Cotton Growers associa-
ton Is spending $1,0O0,OOO this year
for additional plants. A large spin
ming plant in Sydney Is being con-
structed, using Australian cotton as
n prelude to great manufacturing
business.

OIL In Australia.

The assistant government geologist
employed by the Frenzy Kimberley Oil
company sends very hopeful report
about the oil bore at Mount Wynne
Kimberley, Australia. The bore Is
down 128 feet, and between the one
hundred and ninth and one hundred
and twenty-frst foot passed through
broken strata with beams filled with
asphalt, which must have migrated
from oil-bearing beds below. The pros.
pect area is now restricted within def
mite limits, which slmplifles the work,
and there nre prospects Of successful
issue before long.

PLvckINe SPINACH LEAVES
Heart Of the Plant Should se Left to
Produce More Tender
Sprouts.

In gathering spinach from the
home garden during the early part Of
the season and before the plants have
attained full size. the outer leaves are
simply picked off, leaving the heart
of the plant to develop more leaves.
Later and toward the end of the sea-
son the entire plant Is removed by
cutting off just above the surface of
the ground. In cutting spinach for
the market the plan Of cutting the en-
tire plant is the one followed. A
longer producing period, however,
can be had from the home garden
spinach bed by first cutting the leaves
and later the entire plant. One
fourth pound of seed will be sufficient
to plant bed five to seven feet In
width and 80 feet In length which pro
vides an abundance for the AVERAGE
family.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-R0OT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
II the kidneys are not in healthy con
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physician's pre-.
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm.

However, II you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

ACCOUNTS Great
AID TO ECONOMY
Keeping Track Of Expenses of
Household Supplements Rec
ords of Farm Business.

Prepared BY the United states Department
Of Agriculture.)
Household accounts are valuable on
the farm as elsewhere, even though
farm household expenses are very In
timately associated with the business
Of the farm itself The farm normally
supplies much material which other.
wise would become household ex-
pense. The household, In turn, very
often furnishes board for farm labor,
which would otherwise be farm ex-
pense. Keeping track of household
expenses therefore supplements the
records of the farm business, points
out the United States Department of
Agriculture
More than this, household accounts
are an important aid to economy. The
first step toward saving lies usually
In finding out where unnecessary ex-
penses are incurred. 1t is important,
therefore, to analyze or classify the
expenditures and go over them care
fully at the end of regular periods
One way of doing this Is to record all
purchases when money is paid out and
then make up monthly statement
for each kind or class Of expenditure
Another method is to enter every.
thing In column at one side of q
broad page, and at the same time en-
ter the amounts again in the columns
for each class. This system makes 1t
possible to find out at any time the
amount being spent for any given kind
of purchase, and the monthly totals
are easy to add up.
Book Not Important.
The kind Of book to use is not
important. Each family will have a
different way of classifying Its ex-
penses. An ordinary ruled, square
blank book bound at the left side is
usually satisfactory for dividing off
into columns according to the needs
Of the individual family. To avoid

HAVE LONG ROWS
IN YOUR GARDEN
Plan viii Not Only Save Labor
but viii Prevent Injury to
Tender Plants.

Arrange the garden in long rows
and cultivate the crops with horse
whenever this is possible. suggests the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Horse cultivation can be prac-
ticed where the rows are as narrow as
"a inches, but as rule 1t does not
pay to have the rows closer than 80
or SO inches.
One good arrangement Is to have
the crops grown in three-foot rows oc-
cupying the major portion Of the gar
den, with narrow strip along one
side laid of in small beds or narrow
rows In which all the smaller crops
can be grown. One farmer near WASH
ington, D. G. who is noted for having
good garden. follows the practice of
cultivating with horse every Satur-
day afternoon. provided the soil is not
too wet from recen. rain. 1t takes
only about one hour to go over the
garden with cultivator and then with
little hand hoeing he is able to keep
his garden in perfect condition. While
1t may not always be convenient to
cultivate the garden at a specified
time as does this farmer, yet there
are often short periods in farm work
during which the garden can be cul-
tivated.
The long narrow garden Is easier to
plow than one that Is more nearly
square and requires less turning in
cultivation. II less than full row of
any one vegetable is desired, this will
not cause any Inconvenience, as two
or three different kinds of vegetables
may be planted in one row. The kind
of cultivator to use in cultivating the
garden does not matter greatly, but
one having number of fairly small
teeth that will pulverize the soil.
There are two types Of one-horse
cultivators on the market, one having
five teeth with various sizes and shapes
Of points that can be changed to suit
local conditions and another which is
an "A"-shaped cultivator and having
about Is small teeth or shovels.
The wheel hoe Is desirable tool
for use ia the garden, mainly for
finishing up the cultivation close to
the rows Of plants after the rows
have been gone through with horse
cultivator. This applies especially to
onions, beets, carrots, parsnips. celery
and several Of the low-growing and
compact types of vegetables. The rows
should be perfectly straight. It is
better not to depend upon horse
drawn marker for laying Off the rows,
but to use line.

berry and Flowers Should
Be Considered.

Harmony is the first law of nature,
not only In the color of house, but In
the way shrubbery and flowers are
placed about 1t. More attention should
be given, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, to improving
the home surroundings, including the
care Of good lawn and the growing
OF roses and other flowers that will
add beauty to the premises. It has
been suggested that 1t would be appro

the work of writing the heading over
and over, a number of pages may be
cut off at the tops SO that permanent
column heads may be read above them.
A large page is usually easier to
record on and to study when the record
Is complete.
Foods may be classed as "animal
foods" fruits and vegetables" cereal
products" groceries" Many farms
furnish a large part Of the first three
items. The totals for these groups
should offer suggestions as to how
the expenses for them may be reduced
by greater home production. 1t has
been found that on the average farm
80 per cent Of the animal products
and 70 per cent of the fruits and vege-
tables consumed by the family are
taken out of the farm.
Clothing. household furnishings, run
ming expenses, advancement, Incl
dentals, and savings are other general
classes of expenditures for which sep
arate accounts may be kept according
to the second method. Under each of
these heads many subdivisions may
be made, but for the most purposes
this general classification will be found
sufficient.
AnaIyze Totals Yearly.
Recording the expenditures, how
ever, is but half the task. If the
totals are not analyzed at least once
year with the idea of making a
spending plan for the coming year,
little Is gained from merely writing
down the daily expenditures. This
spending plan may be made for a
month or even week ahead, If the
future Is uncertain. The aim should
then be. If possible, to spend less actual
cash than the proposed plan allows.
On the farm 1t is often possible to ac-
complish this by enlarging the vege-
table garden, so that the family eats
more vegetables and desires less of
foods which must be bought, and also
SO that there is a good surplus to can
for winter use. More well-managed
poultry may be needed to provide eggs
can. The amount of milk, butter and
cheese furnished by the farm cows
may be insufficient. Possibly investi-
CATION will show that this is because
of n low grade of farm animals which
could be improved by better farm
practice.
It has been found that. in general,
over GO per cent of the food and over
80 per cent of the fuel consumed by
farm families are produced on the farm.
