FINE CROPS SURE
Outlook in Western Canada Never
More Favorable.
Perfect Weather Conditions Enabled
Early Seeding and Wheat Has Log
Been Above Ground In tha
Land of Opportunity.
The greatest optimism prevail
throughout every district In Western
Cunudn. From tlic enstern boundary
of Manitoba to the slopes of the llockjr
Mountains the farmers have been busy
for three weeks In seeding operations.
Last fall, even for Western Canada,
was an exceptional one. Threshing
was completed at an early date and
the amount of fall plowing made ready
for crop from fifteen to twenty-five per
cent more acreage than In any year la
the brief history of the country. There
fore there was ready for seeding this
prlng an acreage away beyond any
thing ever before experienced In that
country.
On April 20 Calgnry (Alta.) report
ed that In south country points there
was a notable spirit of optimism
ntiuingxt the fanners there. Moisture
nnd weather conditions were good,
while hind In most places was In the
best possible condition. More tractors
were being put Into operation than In
any previous year. In some parts of the
Koutli country, however, there was ft
marked shortage of labor, but In tho
consideration of the country as a
whole the labor outlook was bright.
Seeding operations were well under
way In every part of Western Canada
by the fifteenth of April. The practice
of the farmers In that country Is to
commence ns soon ns the frost Is out
of the ground enough to allow the few
Inch seed bed to be worked up well,
licncnth this the ground may still be
frozen, but from this frost the young
and tender wheat roots get the mois
ture at tlrst so necessary to Its exist
ence. The warm days of spring nnd
the long hours of sunlight that are
ushered In with It thaw the frost out
day by day and pay to the growing
plant the moisture ns It Is needed.
Nature's way of producing moisture to
the young wheat plant Is one of the
chief reasons why Western Canndu hns
become world famous ns n wheat-producing
country. What may be said
of wheat can as truly be said of
oats and barley, and yes, In fact, corn,
too. ltapld und strong growth Is stim
ulated In this manner. Heavy spring
nlus usually occur after seeding la
over and the grain well above ground.
Already n report has been received,
dated April 20, that a farmer near Ca
brl, Saskatchewan, bad 180 acres of
wheat showing above the ground.
A good, strong and sturdy wheat
plant Is necessary when It Is ex
pected thnt there will be produced a
forty-bushel-to-the-ncre crop of wheat
of a quality that will weigh out Its
sixty-five pounds to the meusured
bushel.
These spring wheat conditions rep
resent but one of the reasons why
Western Canada has been able to
produce, with so little effort, world's
record grain crops, wheat and oats (
that nave carried on an Champion
ship awards at America's largest ex
positions. Western Cnnudn has this spring
shipped ten thousand bushels of Mar
quis wheat, the variety that holds
most of the world's championships, to
Australia, where It Is to be tried out.
Seventy-live thousand bushels of the
same variety has been sent to France
to be used for seed.
The wheat lands of Western Cannda
are probably the most undervalued of
any on the continent.
A comparatively small acreage of
Western Canada's lands has been sold
as high as $tH) an acre. The greater
portion of the best funning land In
Us unimproved state may be purchased
at $25 an acre. The comparison be
tween these prices nnd nn annual rev
enue derived from grain-growing alone,
with big yields nnd present prices, can
but more firmly Impress one with the
certainty of u rapid Increase within
the next few years. Advertisement.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing; Llka Plain Bltro-Phoaptmta
to Put on Firm, Hdnlthy Floah and
to Inoreaao Strength, Vlcor
and Narva Force.
Judging from tho countless preparations
and treatments which aro continually ba
ins' advertised for tho purpose at making
thin people ileshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
ot men and women who Keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually dua
to starved nerves. Our bodies need mora
phosphate than la contained In modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency bo well
thunrcrnnlo nhosnhate known umone dcu
gists as bltro-phosphate, which la Inex
pensive and la sold by most all drugglsta
under a guarantee of eat f action or money
back. By feedlnp tho nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces
sary phosphoric food elements, bltro-phosphate
quickly produces a welcome trans
formation In the appearance: the Increase
In weight frequently being astonishing.
ThU Increase In weight also carries with
tt a general Improvement In tho health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, Boon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the' bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bltro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, it
should not, owing to Its remarkable flesh
growing properties, bo used by anyone
who docs not desire to put on flesh.
