WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342,000,000 Bushels Wheat in
1915: In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.
Tlnit Western Cunnilu is Indeed
"Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
lis 11)15 oi op "exceeded, ncre Mr iiore,
the production of any country on till
qonlliie'it is n striking tact proved bj
the follow In:: Ilguros:
In ill.r tin' Dominion of Canada pro
duced :t7! OUO.UUU Inmhols of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
21) bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1.011Xor.t)00 bushels
leld of 17 bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors In wheat produc
tion In South America were Argentine.
With lTS.UUKlO bushels, or less than
12 bushels per aero, and Chile, with
30.000.WO bushels or 1U bushels per
ncre.
The three Western Canadian praltle
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
812,000.0(10 bushels out of the total Ca
nadian :i70.000.000 bushels. It will be
BQen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, "Western- Canada pro
duced considerably more than the com
bined production of North and Smith
America. Canada Is. of course a new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi
cally three times as much Is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To Illustrate further the greater pro
ductiveness of Western Canadian land
Wo submit the following (inures, show
ing the 11)15 yields per aero. In the
three provinces of Western Canada
and In the states which In that year
produced the greatest rpiantlty of

In 1010 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields In many districts were
very largo. So largo, indeed, was the
ucreage under cultivation In 1015 that
the, resulting crop proved too large to
bo all threshed the same fall. It over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall plowing
was done than would have been dune
In a less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with Ids
threshing. All these conditions neees
sarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded In the spring of 1010. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced
and one factor In the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evi
dent. Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada lias experienced, In
common with the entlro North Ameri
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re
sulted In smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain In certain local
ltics.
The nvcrago yield of wheat In the
- three western provinces Is estimated
by the government at about 1(! bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
27 bubhels.
The llnunclal value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers lias been
greater this year than ever befote
Owing to the high prices or grain that
are prevailing, rofuniH have been re
ceived that are extremely prolltuble.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.00 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, a wheat" crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
.supposing he had only the average ol
10 bushels per acre, over $iM).00 per
aero. A large number are receiving
$50.00 per acre some have received
75.00, nnd a few even more than that.
This price of course, is not all profit :
It represents the gross return, and tin
cost of operation must bo deducted,
but It does not. even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 05 cents to raise
a bushel of wheal in Western Canada
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. It must be cinphnM.ed that the
acre which produces a $.'10.00 crop cost
in the Urst case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dls
tilcts from $100 to 5200 per acre, and
own then u return of Siio.oo would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Camilla tin best class of ng
jicidturul land, capable of producing
crops that In Mzo compure with nny
country In (ho world except, perbapn
soui.) Uuropeiii) countries, can be oh
tnlned at, on the nvcrago, from 520 te
I SHU per acre, with Irrigated lands some
what higher. It Is no exaggeration
whatever to say that a number ol
Western Canadian farmers have paid
for i heir laud entirely from the pro
ceeds of lift year's crop, and this In
elude men who hut year begun for the
first time. Advertisement.

UTTLE POINTERS ON DUCKS
Do Not Remove Feathers From Last
' Joint of Wing In Picking Flesh
"Turns" Quickly.
When picking ducks do not remove
the feathers from tho last Joint of the
iving or from the upper part of the
neck near the head. Also leavo tho
main tall feathers on. ,
If dressed ducks are to ho kept
after they are dried off when they are
taken from the cooling water, they
.should he at once placed In the lee
box. Duck flesh "turns" much more
quickly than the llesh of liens or tur
keys. A good mash for the young ducks
which are to bo kept over for bleed
ers Is made by mixing one part corn
meal, two parts brnn, one part boiled
vegetables, nnd one-half part beef
scraps. These should he mixed dry
nnd moistened with milk or water.
TREATMENT FOR SORE NECKS
Tannic Acid Is Recommended as One
of the Best Remedies for Collar
Galls Keep Collar Clean.
Tannic acid Is one of the very best
remedies for collar galls. It can bo se
cured from any drug store and Is
easily applied by rubbing lightly over
Hie collar every niornle nnd evening
If the horse Is wot king.
Collar galls usually appear either
at the top of the neck or at tho point
of tho shoulder where an Improperly
fitted collar rubs. It is Important that
the collar be kept clean at all times
In order that It may be kept from cut
ling Into the neck, but special earn In
keeping It dean Is necessary after
these galls start. "An ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure."
FARM EFFICIENCY
On u great majority of farms
success Is primarily dependent
on three Importnnt faclors.
These are: (1) The size of the
farm business; (2) the yields of
the crops ami the returns per
anlnial, epresontlng the quali
ty of tlie farm business, nnd (.'!)
the dlveislty of Die business.
Of course many other tilings
Jmvo their influence, but tho
farmer whoso business Is effi
cient In these three respects Is
generally successful. Those
farms that are excellent In none
of these respects nlmost univer
sally fall. Those deficient lit ono
or two may succeed, hut their
chances of success ure greatly

APPLY LIME AFTER PLOWING
Countlcso Bacteria Work Only In Dark
and Require Both Air and Water
for Existence.
While It Is bettor to uso llmo on
ti'id soils at any time of tho yenr than
not to apply any, soil bpeclallsts at tho
Ohio experiment station recommend
that this material bo used after plow
ing for some cultivated spring crop.
Tho lime can then perform Us full
function In promoting tho growth of
the bacteria that grow on clover
roots.
TIcm countless bacteria, so helpful
to th r crops, work only In the dark
and impure both water nnd air for
their existence. Also, they can live
only In soils either naturally or artifi
cially supplied with lime.
Lime spread on the surfneo and not
stirred Into the soil can help the bac
teria but little. They would dio there
for lack of moisture, and the lime
would bo dissolved and carried Into
tho soil only after n long time. Llmo
plowed under Is also out of reach of
tho bacteria, which Jive chiefly In tho
upper three or four Inches of soil
whero air Is plentiful. Hence, apply
ing llmo after plowing In the spring
and mixing it by cultivation Into tho
soil during the summer xnake condi
tions most favorable for the clover
crop laior.

Honey Is one of the farmer's most
valuable assets, and In many places a
