Jf Produce More Food, But at the Lowest Cost. A trip through most of tho grain growing districts of Western Canada, and information received from nuthen tic sources, reveals that tho spring seeding of wheat, barley nnd oats Is finished and the grain Is having n most rapid growth. Men of farming expe rience hero say that the conditions aro similar to those years when there was an abundant harvest reaped. During tho past year a number of new settlers came into the country, nnd they will undoubtedly have a good crop this year. This added to the normal ncre age, made considerably less by tho lack of labor owing to the number who have gone to the front, will give a fair general yield. It Is surprising the growth that this country Is capable of producing. Whent has this spring germinated nnd shown three or four Inches growth In five or six days, and with anything like favorable weather, harvesting should commence about the 15th of August, or n little over one hundred doys from first seeding. Hundreds of farmers throughout this vast country paid for their entire holdings out of one year's crop and It would not bo surprising l'f the same experience met n grcnt many more this year. The best authorities on the wheat sltuotlon give It ns their opinion that for many years to come, wheat prices will be high. They base their opinion on a scientific calculation nnd their reasoning seems to bo sound. Anyway, It is quite evident that for some years to come, the producer of whent will be amply rewarded for any effort ho may mnko to develop this branch of agricultural industry. Money may be made on the high-priced lnnds of tho wheat-growing districts of tho United Stntes, fiut it is a question If theso high-priced lands would not bo more profitably employed in other branches of farming than in growing tho smaller grains, leaving it to lands just as pro ductive for wheat, less expensive to op erate, and with a much smaller inltlnl price, to provide tho world with this necessity of life. Here is where Western Canada, with its vast rich fertile plains, its low railway rates, Its exceptionally good shipping privileges, Its excellent climate, and Its perfect social conditions, has n com bination of advnntnges not possessed by nny other portion of the continent. Furthermore, these lands, of unex celled quality, are extraordinarily cheap, while for the man who docs not care to undertake farming on so exten sive a scnle there Is the freo home stead which offers him nil the opportu nity for which ho is looking. The prospective purchaser will have no difficulty at nil In making a selec tion of a fine piece of land, well lo cated and convenient to transportation, which may be had for from $15 to $25 nn acre, and the railway companies or other holders of lnrge tracts are al ways glad to sell on easy terms. Or if he desires a farm that is already under cultivation and Improved, many such aro to be had from farmers who already havo mado comfortablo for tunes nnd nro ready to retire. It Is not to the grain grower only that Western Canada offers great op portunities. If one wishes to go in for cattle raising, there are great stretches of range land both freo and for lease; nnd In many sections of the country there are the finest of grazing lands that may bo purchased at very low prices. Tho appeal which has boon sent out both by the United States and Cana dian governments, for nn unstinted, un limited production of food stuffs to pre vent what might otherwise bo a fam ine throughout this great continent nnd then consequently, throughout tho world should In Itself arouse nil tho ambition nnd desire In tho heart and soul of the man who Is not fighting at the front, to produce nil he can. In addition, there Is the potent fact that no chances are being tnken In answering the appeal. Tnko it from either stand point you answer the country's call, al though not fighting, and you aro also Insured against any loss by tho high prices that are bound to exist for somo time. Whether It be in tho United Stntes on its excellent grain lands or In Canada on Ila splendid grain lands, all should do their bit.

WRITER GIVES VIVID PICTURE Young Aviators Take Deadly Risks and Do Work of Terror In Same Spirit Knights of Old Went Forth to Battle. ' London. Nothing thnt the great war has developed Is more dramatic and thrilling than a battle between nvlu tors amid the clouds. It has come to be a common occurrence for a detach ment of nlrnieu to ambuscade them selves behind n cloud bank, sweeping down suddenly from cover upon their opponents. A correspondent with the British armies east of Arras sends this de scription of aerial wurfare: There have been hours when I have heard overhead a continual tat too of Lewis guns nnd when a great sweep of sky has been racked out with white shrapnel clouds following our flying squadrons engaged hotly with hostile machines. One cannot follow ill?. PJ2SJH? 2 U.lci wcrinl battles, It Is'onlyTarely Flint one can distin guish nn enemy mnchino from ours, except by cloudlets of our nntl-nlr-craft barrage. But far and high one sees the daring specks chasing through the blue, touched sometimes by sunlight, so that for a moment they are all golden or glistening or white as snowflnkes, and down to one comes tho loud drone of engines and the lit tle hammer-knocks of Lewis guns. Look Like Butterflies. Our soldiers on the march stare up nt the war above their heads, so aloof from them, so dreamlike, and the men on the supply columns get their glnsses out and laugh when one of our Kite balloons Is hauled down sudden ly with grent haste. "Old Rupert has got the wind up," they say; "u Boche plane must bo sneaking round." It Js no joke when a German airman de scends out of a cloud and hovers over n battery, signaling back to his guns. I'was In such a situation the other day, and had to crouch with tho gun jners below a bank while shrapnel bul lets from our own "Archies" whipped the ground about. Ked wings have come Into the sky, for the new German fighting machines hnve crimson-planes, so that they look like butterflies when tho sun is on them. Enemy airmen have been try ing to compete with our own by swoop ing low nbove marching troops nnd gun teams and using their mnchlne guns. In a way which adds new perils to war. But, though they fight behind their own lines with grent skill nnd courage, they do not come over our country in nny such numbers ns our men invade theirs. These boys for they are absurdly froung in tho average age take all these deadly risks and do nil this (work of terror with the same spirit ins the young gentlemen of England who rode out with Sir John Chandos nnd Sir Walter Manny to seek com bat with French knights many hun dred years ago along the roads where our modern men-at-arms go ranrchlng today. German Tires First During this recent fighting one of them chnHenged a German Albatross, which accepted fight, nnd for nn hour they did every trick known to flying shilling, banking, side-slipping, loop ingIn order to get in the first shot. It was the German who tired first, though he showed himself master of his machine. There are boys In our air service who havo killed six or seven Germans in single combat. A few have account ed for many more, nnd go off again for a morning's hunting of men as though on a good adventure. Yet they know the risks nnd the fortune of war. They cannot have all the luck nil the time. When tho turn comes It is quick to the end; or, if hit and left alive, they do amazing things up there In the high ekles to save the final crash. A few evenings ago two of our young ofllcers were attacked by five hostllo aircraft, and both were wound ed, one In seven pluces, but they de stroyed one of tho German airplanes nnd landed safely, though their own mnchfnes were pierced by many bul lets. On another evening of the battle of Arras two hostile aircraft were en gaged by one of ours and forced to land, though one of our ofllcers had his collarbouc broken by u machine gun bullet.
