FARM CHEAP LAND Why Western Canada Agricultu rists Artf Smiling. ! .> -y-ff '■'*r Low Overhead Expense and Bountiful Crops Have Enabled Them to Overcome Agricultural Depression. ' The recent agricultural depression brought to the eyes of the world the fact that one of Its basic industries tvas likely to suffer a severe blow un less steps were taken to secure a rem edy. Physician after physician ap plied remedies, but even parliamenta rians and newspapers were unable to place their finger on the pulse that 'would respond. As It appears today, It was a spasmodic wave due to the ebb and flow of the tide of readjust ment that was bound to follow a dis turbance such as the Great War caused. Psychologically It was b<#ind to change; there was certain to be a re flex movement tliaf would bring agri cultural conditions hack to the place where they normally and rightly be long. Efficiency and sound business judg ment are needed more in agriculture today than ever before and are as Im portant to the farmer as to a railroad company, or to a great steel corpora tion. me iarmer musi enueavui an equal footing In the competition for a lower cost of production. In Western Canada the farmer has come through the dark era with that forti tude nnd determination so peculiar to a new country, nnd is meeting the changed situation with energy and n smile. In Western Canada the farmer Is not hampered by an annual over head expense of heavy Interest on high-priced innd. He Is able to pro duce at a minimum, because his land value seldom exceeds $50 an acre. Owing to the fact that he is farming land the price of which is from $25 to $50 an acre, producing crops of wheat running from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, and other grains In propor tion, he is able to produce at a low cost. In addition to this, a fact which 6hould not be lost sight of, is the large area that he can farm at low cost, giv ing him an added advantage in reduc ing the cost of production. The corn that the farmer fully ex pected to bring him over a dollar bushel, he saw carried nwav to the market, and bring back a 30 or 40 cent ,, check. Wheat for the whole of Can ada averaged 86 cents a bushel in 1921 ns compared with $1.62 in 1920; oats 37 cents as against 53 cents; barley 47 cents as against 83 cents. Other grain prices similarly fell. While other parts of the continent, where grain-growing Is carried on, have suf fered in like manner by deflation in prices, they hnve had to face a much higher cost in production, such ns high rents, high-priced farms, and high taxes. Farmers had calculated on re ceiving war or nearly war figures for their grain nnd therefore were amply justified in submitting to the tax that soaring land prices set upon them. Western Canada fortunately did not suffer from inflated land prices. There fore, when grain prices fell, the losses sustained were not so great; they did not cut out the margin of profit, ex cepting in some cases where some cli matic conditions caused it.

S., Britain, to Control Pacific. BV JAMES R. NOURSE Washington, March 21. — A speech by Paul D. Cravath, attorney for J. P. Morgan and other International banking Interests, was introduced in the Senate Monday as ecidence of a “secret understanding" between the United States and Great Britain for control of the Pacific In connection with the four-power treaty. Senator Borah, of Idaho, produced a stenographic transcript of the Cravath speech. In the opinion of the Senate authorities, the “secret agreement" mentioned by the Morgan attorney constituted not only an act of treachery to the other oowers In the treaty, but would be undeniably provocation of war. Formulated at Arms Parley. The Cravath speech was delivered at a private gathering of the council of foreign relations, an association of New York bankers, held in New York city February 17. Although the meet ing was not open to the public, Sen ator Borah obtained the reporter’s transcript of what Cravath said in assuring his fellow bankers that the secret understanding had been for mulated at the arms conference. Opponents of the treaty saw in It an effective weapon by which to de feat ratification. Senators Lodge and LTnderwood, members of the American delegation, denied such an agreement existed. Senator Borah came back with the statement that although they knew nothing about it, he refused to believe the story untrue. Later in the day Senator Borah was shown a statement issued by Mr. Cravath in his New York office de nying the existence of such an agree ment, to which Senator Borah re plied: “I have the record. I am satis fied with it." May Call Hughes, Root, Cravath. The most important development of the publication of Mr. Cravath's re marks was the inauguration of a movement to have the treaty sent back to the foreign relations com mittee and have Secretary Hughes, Elihu Root and Mr. Cravath summon ed as witnesses to tell what they know about it. A motion to recommit the treaty will be made probably Tuesday by Senator Shields of Tennessee. This will put Senator Lodge and the rest of the republican majority on record as to whether they want all the facts disclosed or will insist upon a vote to ratify without any more informa tion than the Senate now has regard ing the treaty, its origin and its pur pose. Senator Lodge visited the White House Monday and discussed the treaty situation with President Harding who expressed a desire to have it ratified without the Harding Brandagee reservation now before the Senate. Senator Lodge told the pres ident tills could not be done, that un less the reservation is attached the treaty will be rejected. —t— CRAVATH ATTACKS BORAH FOR REPORT New York, March 21.—Referring to the statement made in the Senate Monday by Senator Borah to the ef fect that Paul D. Cravath had stated that there was an “unwritten agree ment" that the United States and Great Britain should act together "in any emergency in the Pacific," Mr. Cravath authorizes this statement: “There is not the remotest foun dation for the statement report ed to have been made by Senator Borah in the Senate Monday in which my name was used. It is pure romance. I cannot make my denial too strong and unequivo cal.” TO LOWER REPARATION DEMANDS ON GERMANY Tiiris, March 21. — The reparation commission, which is to fix Germany's payments for 1922, meets here today. The sum of 2,000,000,000 gold marks, which was agreed upon last May as the German reparations payment, for this year, will be reduced, it was un derstood, and an arrangement made for payment of more than one-half this amount in kind Instead of cash. Approximately 720,000,000 gold marks casli will be asked. The condition upon which reduction of cash pay ments required will be granted the Germans, will be according to author itative sources, that the German gov ernment stop its money printing presses and reduce its inflated cur rency.

What you do at noon often has more influence on sleep than what you want and hope for, at midnight. Coffee’s drug element, caffeine, whips up the nerves, and when its use is continued there’s usually a pen alty which no amount of mental effort can avoid. The part of wisdom, as so many thousands have found, is to turn away from nerve stimulation and adopt rich, delicious Postum as the mealtime drink. Postum delights the taste, but brings no dis turbance to nerves or digestion. Even the little children can share in the en joyment of Postum at any meal. It’s better to anticipate warnings than to be driven by them. * It’s better to encourage and pre serve sound nerves and complete health than to listen to the clock ticks at night and say, “I wish!” You can get Postum wherever good food or drink is sold and served.
