A niilion-wido cry is betug tun do for more economy and greater production, and probably never was the need ot foodstuffs equal to tliill of tlie present. Grain prices are the highest in tlie na- tion's history and today the agricul- tural fields of America offer induce- ments Hurt are uneiiuuled in any other line of commerce or business. Tin* ideal lite is that close to nature, en- joying the freedom of Hod's great out- doors mid fullitliug u ihu.\ to Immun- ity by producing from a fertile suil that which is essential to the \ cry ex- istence of a less forliiiaite people who arc iiclunlly slurv iug to death tin-fowl- stuffs that esur be ]innluced wi eco- nomically ill the Vailed Stales anil Canada. High prices fur nil grains, undoubt- edly, will be maintained for a number of years, and it appears a certainty that the agriculturist will reap a bounteous return for his labor and at the same time carry nut the demands of patriotic citizenship, A wrong con- ception has beeu generally noticed as to \Life on the Farm,\ It lias been, to a large extent, considered ai only a place to live peacefully and afford a living for those who are satisfied with merely a comfortable existence. Such si wrong impression tins been created. In n measure, by the lack of systema- tic business principles to farming In general. But today funning and agri- culture have been given a supremacy in the business world and require the same advanced methods as any other line of commerce. In no other busi- ness does a sysleni adoption pay bet- ter than on the farm, and it is certain that there Is no other line of work, that, generally speaking, needs It ns much. The old idea of getting a living off the farm and not knowing how it WHS nif '« and following up the details of each branch of farming to get the maximum of profit, at the le:is| ex- pense, Is fast being done away with. Tanning is now being considered as a business and a living Is not sulllelent for the modern agriculturist ; a small per cent en the imo-tment is not enough, Hie present day farmer must have u percentage return equal to that of other lines of business. The prices for produce are high enough, but the cost of producing has been tlie factor, in many places, that has reduced the profit. It i s the application of a sys- tem to the cost of various work on the farm that it is possible to give figures on prollts made in grain-growing In \Western Canada. Mr. C A. Wrighl nf Milo, Iowa, bought a hundred and sixty acres of land 'n Western ('nnilda for $.'{..'100 In December, 1H15, and took ills first crop from it In 101(5.

With the as>.Maneo of the Ciinadinn Gov eminent Agent, nt Dcs Moines, In., they made si-hs-riim nenr Champion. Alberta. They put 2-ltl acres <>r land In wheat, and in writing to Mr. Hew- itt, Tlie Ciniiiiliaii Udveniliieiit Agent at Des Moines, one of the members of the firm says: \I have much pleasure in advising you that on our farm Ave miles east of Champion, in the Prov- ince of Alberta, Canada, this year (1!I1(>) we harvested and threshed 10,- BI1U bushels uf wheat -from 2-1(1 acres, this being an average of 4-1 bushels and 10 pounds to the acre. A con- siderable portion of the wheat was No. 1 Northern, worth at Champion, approximately $1.S5 per bushel, mak- ing a total return of $10,(510, or an av- erage of $S1.70 per acre gross yields. And by aid of u thorough system were able to Keep the cost of growing wheat nt about 2H cents a bushel.\ Messrs. Smith & Sons of Yulonn, Alberta, are growers of wheat on a large scale and have demonstrated Hint iherc Is greater profit in Western Canada wheat raising than probably in any other business anywhere. Speak- ing of tlu-lr experience Mr. Smith says: \I have three sections of land nt the present time ami am farming yearly 1,21)1) to 1,-liltl acres of laud. My re- turns from the farm for the past two j-eurs have been annual 200',\- that Is for every dollar I have spent I have reooi\ e d three, now 1 do not knew where you can do that well, \This is surely the country for the man with the small capital as the laud Is still reasonable in,price, payments in long term and work of all kinds fur every man to do. I feel Hint if 1 was turned out here without a dollar that in less than ton years I could own a section of land and have It well equipped.\ Western Canada's soil and climate Is suitable to graining large and prof- itable yields of wheat. Many so large Unit those not acquainted with the facts hesitate to believe (lie reports sent out by Ihe farmers in Hint coun- try. As an evidence of their sincerity in reporting correct yields affidavits of a couple of grain growers are repro- duced. \I. Newell ,T. Noble, of the town of Nobleford, Province of Alberta, do solemnly declare that from 1,000 acres of wheat on the said farm there was, hi the season of 101G, threshed 54,805 bushels of wheat, being at the average of 54 bushels unci 28 pounds per acre. And flint from 394.(19 acres of oats on the said farm, there was threshed in the said season of 191G. 4S,.\iOG bushels of; outs, being at the average \of 122 bushels and 30 pounds per acre. \And I make this solemn declara- tion conscientiously, believing it to !.e true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made un- der oath and by virtue of The Canada Evidence Act.\ NEWELL J. NOBLhl. A Woman Takes Affidavit as to YUlds.—On January 4, 1917, Mrs. Nan- cy Cue of Nobleford made oath as fol- lows : Tn the matter of yield of wheat, outs and flax on my farm for harvest of 1 Hill.

Sir Beerbohm Tree's Tact. As most people who have the pleas- ure of his acquaintance know .perfectly well, Sir Boerhohiu Tree is a very tucl- 1 ill num. He is also an exceedingly critical judge of a good cigar, mid heartily detests the smell even of a bad one. He was alone in a railway carriage when a young man entered, and, si- ting down opposite to him, puffed 1 nwuy heartily at a \weed\ loo awful for words. \Are you uvMire, sir,\ inquired Sir Bccrhdhni in his most impressive man- ner, \ttiut lids is not a smoking car- riage?\ Willi an apologetic remark, the youth lluug his humble smoke out of I the window. A minute later he ob- I served incredulously: 'But—bin. von I arc smoking yourself.\ 1 \Quite so,\ replied Sir Hoorhnhm blandly, \but I thought you uiinlit biivn conscientious scruples, lit'- have imo I of mine?\ The youth selcited with alacrity a • prime Imported MiiMitui from the prof- , feted case, lit up, ami soon Ihe pleasing , iii'oiua fiom two excellent cigars per- vaded every corner of the eniTiiigc.
