Win the War byx Preparing the Land
Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops
Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada
CO-OPERATIVE FARMING IN MAN FOWKR NECESSARY
TO WIN TUB BATTLE FOR LIBERTY
The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for
greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat arc avail
able to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest Upon tht
efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply.
Every Available Tlllablo Acre Must Contribute; Evory Available
Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist
Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power
Is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seed
ing operation.
Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels) the
Demand From Canada Aiono for 1910 Is 400,000,000 Bushels
To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can
effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United
States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When
ever we find a son we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied,
wc want to direct him there.
Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you cin
best serve the combined interest.
Western Canada's help will be required not later than April 5th. Wages
to competent help, $50.00 a month and up, board and lodging.
Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wage,
good board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent
a mile from Canadian boundary points to destination and return.

What the Barber Thought
As illustrating tho slight esteem in
which scientlOc men nro held, Profes
sor Sir H. S. Jackson, one of tho now
knights commanders of the order of
tho British empire, told n story recent
ly of nn experience that befell him
somo time back at a certain large town
In tho Midlands, wheco he had gone In
order to bo present nt n meeting of the
British association. On tho morning
following his arrival ho went to a bnr
ber's shop to get his hair cut, and the
man who wuited on him, after somo
preliminary convernstlon, asked :
"What exactly is this British associa
tion that's meeting hero today?"
Tho professor explained that it was
a society of learned scientific men.
"Oh," said the barber, In tones of
evident disgust, "I thought it was a
football team."
Tied His Dog to "Flivver."
When Henry Wurd, prominent in Su

vicious bulldog to his ."illvver," merely'
as a protection to uogs with better dis
positions, ho was arrested.
"Guilty?" asked tho court, after In
forming tho defendant ho was charged
with violating n city ordinance ugulnst
attaching n tin can to a dog's tall.
"Yes, sir," was tho reply.
"Eleven dollnrs," said the court. And
Mr. Ward paid.

"Very. Sho keeps her father broke

Tho cuckoo, ns Is well known, lays

BIG RETURNS FROM SPRAYING
Additional Profit of 61,000 Secured
From Orchard of '200 Trees
by Nebraska Man.
Another convincing showing for
good returns from spraying trees has
Just como to hnnd from n Nebrnsku
fruit grower, J. Italph Cooper, who has
completed three years of spraying
work under the direction of his state
experiment, station. During tho threo
years' period the unsprnyed trees ma
tured only 18.4 per cent of marketable
fruit This left 80.0 per cent of tho
fruit thnt was lit only for vinegar, nnd
gave nn annual averago income of only
S1.C7 for the unsprnyed trees. In con
trast, tho fruit trees that were sprayed
four times ench season for the conlrAl
of fungous diseases nnd insect pests,
nt n cost of 21 cents per tree for labor
nnd spray material, returned nn nn
nunl average Income of 57.38 per tree.
This means nn nddltlonnl profit of over
$1,000 fromnn orchard of only 200
trecB.
