The Canadian potato crop report will be read with interest hy the majority of Guide readers for potatoes have been reported from prairies in larger quantities during the past two years than they ever have been lie- fore. The report issued by D. Johnson, the Dominion Fruit Commissioner follows: British Columbia���������The acreage is estimated at about 5 per cent increase over an average crop. The plants are looking especially healthy and give promise of a heavy yield. Alberta���������An average crop is look- ' ed for in this province. Saskatchewan���������there is a substantial increase in the plantings. It is too early to estimate' the yield. Manitoba���������Indication liow for a full average crop. ��������� Ontario���������In no case lias a decrease in the acreage been reparted from any commercial district. It is estimated that the acreage is considerable more than last year audi from b per cent to 10 per cent above the average. Present indications are for a yield per acre ..considerably above the average. Quebec���������An increase in acreage is reported with prospects for a yield above the average. Some early plantings on low land were destroyed by rain and continued cool weather, but these have been replanted with late varieties. New Brunswick���������There has been a 20 per cent.'increase for the acreage planted with prospects of a normal yield per acre. Nova Scotia���������Some'districts report increased planting of from 2 5 to 3;j per cent. The province on the whole is expected to show a substantial in-json William crease both in. acreage and,- yield. fives. Prince IDchvard Island���������This province also reports increased acreage of from '10 to 15 per cent and, in addition to this, spraying is much more general. With favorable weather conditions a large crop should be harvested. PLUMS AND PJRUXIfiS I notice a decided slackness in the B. C. pack. The Washington pack i well over weight. They seem lo figure that all the difference between a real full basket and a slack one is the few extra plums or prunes. One jobber remarked that he had bought Wenatchce plums in preference to B. C.'s at 10 cents a crate more and Ho reckoned that ho received more than the difference in price in the value of the fruit. Your M- C weighed two baskets at random. The B. C. weighed <l \*> lbs and the Wenatehee 5 yt lb , and on that ratio the buyer was right. The quality is practically the same. Why not put in the full weight and get the market? The extra weight comes over the line at 20 lbs per crate, freight, duty and boxes are the same value irrespective of the -contents. We must equal the best pack and tho margin of difference is so.'mall that we would be fully repaid by the effort to be equal.

The limCter of the surtax placed upon the unorganized parts ol' the province does not affect those living in municipalities, and consequently we cannot expect, their sympathy nor their support in our criticism. They reap the benefit from something which has.cost thorn nothing. Or to put it in another way," the surtax is class legislation, and the poor unfortunate who owns porperty-in the unorganized parts oil" the province pays the penalty. The receipts of the tax go to pay, we are given to-understand, interest on bonds of the province, the whole province reaping the benefit at the expense of a Tew, for the surtax is imposed upon many men. who at the present time.are almost unable to pay it, the regular taxation having fallen due /(une 30th. why not have demonstration roads. For the amount of money spent on our roads during the past quarter of a century~we haye very little to show for it. It is no simple matter to build a road in the Fraser Valley that will come through the wet season without being seriously im-' paired, and the one great reason Tor this is that we do not go about the matter of drainage when building in a scientific manner. Crop Conditions A friend of the present government says that it is ot the '"sucker tax' but the surtax. as It is said the Kaiser does not change his som so often now, he smells defeat. Indications are that the cereal crop of the Dominion will be quite,as good ii! not better than that of a year ago In the Eastern provinces, favorable weather.has resulted in satisfactory growth, and harvesting has already 'commenced. Threshing returns, it Js fully expected, will show higher aver- ago yields than for some years. In the '"western districts,' the crops are reported to be of an uneven character hut on i.he whole an average year is expected., The yield of wheat will approximate that' o*f last' year, but that of some coarse grains will bo less.���������Bank of Commerce' Monthly Commercial Lotter. . THE I-IAWA11ANS ladies were hustling, the timekeeper got curious and on inquiry (and he had to do some sharp detective work) he found that they were vicing with each other to see who could earn the most money. ��������� When they return to their home city all of the money will be handed over to the local Red Cross. Feeding tho Chickens A United States senator says I. W. W. stands for Imperial William's Warriors; but- we think it would have been more to the point if he had said that it stood for Insane Willie's Walkouts. ~=.4 The Conscription act goes into to force immediately as soon as the royal assent is'given. This looks right. The boys now at the front need assistance and some- of them, a rest. The air.at Ottawa is still surcharged with rumors almost without end. It is only to be hoped that the result will be a win- the-war government, that will show that Canada is in the war to stay to the finish. Our politicians should have sized up the gravity of the situation t'o know tha party politics should and must be eliminated for* the present. What is Laurier, or wha: is Borden to winning the war? ' The sentiment of the Abbotsford convention was for Sir Wilfrid Laurier if he would endorse conscription, with emphasis on the endorsation. We are also told that the Revelstoke convention was a duplicate of the Abbotsford convention. These two should be taken as a criterion of the other constituencies of the province'. Apparently Sir Wilfrid is not for conscription, and neither are the people of Quebec. The conscription act is in force now, being signed yesterday, and we are waiting for those uprisings of Mr. Brewster's. Is he figuring on another leadership? Blake's Hawaiian Trobadours will present their musical novelty at the Victor Theatre, Wed and Thurs. 5th and 6th Sept. The Hawaiians are passionately fond of music and thoir poetry is highly figurative, abounding in lists of na'hies and in allusions to their mythology, to places, to local winds and rains, to seas, ocean and flowers. These are the artists who made such a success in the "Bird of Paradise" company and without a doubt Mission and district will turn out and welcome these talented musicians. Prices are lower than any other place yet booked, so they look for crowded houses, which the management asujres us will welcome us. A special feature of the visit will be the dance over in the Imperial Hall after the concert programme on Thursday evening, when the whole party will form a.dance orchestra and play their native instruments. The government are raking the stones off the road in Mission City, on the line of the auto traffic. Mr. W. Watt was in town a few Saturday evenings ago, and the traffic on Washington street was a big surprise to him. It was the first Saturday evening he has spent in town for many moons, and he thinks that by this time next year it will be unsafe to cross the street unprotected. The question of feed for poultry is 'becoming serious. Corn is practically oil the market, oafs high in prico, barley 'and ��������� buckwheat Very Kcarco as well as high. Wheat, tho most popular poultry feed in Canada- at any price, should not. under present conditions, be used for poultry if "isPfin'or"milling purposes, for the prospects are that this year's" crop 'will leave the world's supply of wheat still short arid it will be necessary to save all suitable-wheal for human consumption. Poultrymen will therefore have to look for a substitute. Tho Wheat Prices' The government has prohibited tho export of the remainder of the 3 916 wheat crop to the United States, and has fixed a.minimum price on the basis of',i?2.'10 for No. 1 Northern at. Fort William. This maximum price is now being obtained. At the Vancouver exhibition ��������� last week Mr. C. T. Mynors was successful in carrying off a. largo number of prizes (all we understand) with his game fowl. Besides his business C. T. has'three specialties, dogs, horses and chickens.

WEEK IN THE' PRAIRIE CITIES Over 600 Canadians, members of the International Typographical Union, are in the trenches. Nearly 50 of these have given up their lives in this titanic struggle. Over $50,000 was subscribed by the union for Liberty bonds to carry on the war, besides amounts taken by local unions. This is one of the greatest and most conservative unions in the world. And yet we hear some saying that labor is against carrying the war to the bitter end. Just some classes of labor. . In one of his boohs Tolsti predicted that about this time a man would be produced who'would be the Napoleon of Russia: to lead the people out of their trouble and place Russia among the leading nations of the world. It is now beginning to look as though these predictions are coming true and that Alexander F. Kerensky js the man. To assist municipalities to avoid the expense and annoying mistakes made by so many municipalities during process of road making the Ontario department of public works has prepared a special report." This report deals with the treatment of gravel and macadam roadways, the laying out of roads and the two important items of drainage and foundation, besides several other matters which, judging from the average country roads, very few road masters appear to know.'anything about. This is a splendid idea and one which might be followed by our western provinces. In the Fraser Valley the question of good roads Is a most important one and it would be well if our government would undertake some plan whereby those responsible for the making of roads could be taught how to build them properly. To our mind one of the best ways would be to have the government adopt some standard method of road building and have stretches of demonstration roads scattered throughout the Valley. These stretches, could be laid out, supervised and built by experienced road makers on scientific plans. They could be visited and examined by the different municipal or government road masters who would then learn how to make roads in their own districts. We have demonstration farms to teach the farmers how to farm scientifically. Then since there is. so much money, municipal and government, spent annually in supposed road making During this week the, Market Commissioner has visited the following cities: Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw, Re- gina and Weyburn. The general report was that there was a brisk demand for B. C. produce. Potatoes were reported scarce with the first car lots arriving from Edmonton and the north. The e were sold in Re- gina at $45 a ton, F. O. B. Edmonton Owing to the harvest being general there will not be much potato digging for some weeks but a plentiful crop is reported from Edmonton district. Around Weyburn and in many other prairie points potato crops look healthy but the first few potatoes to form re-sprouted and the crop is very much off on account of,this. Similar conditions are reported in some cases in Calgary city. If a few cars of B. C. potatoes could be rolled during the next four weeks the price would be fairly good. The potato situation has not developed enough to warrant a clear forecast of supply and demand but sellers are beginning to hedge, and "the prices are firm. The acreage is greatly increased but the general crop is .below average. Washington N-. E. tears a slump but reports from other points are favorable to securing a fair price. On the Witness Stand. A little flaw in his statements ruins the evidence of the witness. It may be a slight exaggeration, but the opposing lawyer seizes it and uses it to impress upon the jury that this witness is hot reliable. The Advertiser to-day is on the witness stand. If he makes mis-statements he is judged accordingly and his entire advertising is mistrusted. Wide-rawake business men realize this. They tell the truth in their advertisements; not because they are better than they used to be; but because they have learned that it pays. The advertising columns to-day contain real, dependable information that will save money for * you if you follow them intelligently. awKfawHwa mmm \mmvaummimaimm nTnJIl 3EICLJE SYNDICATE l^^yO������f^'ii>ft*'>*������y*^yp^ifi'i''i������^".7������������-"^^ (if i ABBOTSFORD DISTRICT BOARD OF TRADE r\ SSEE 2EB32 President, Hope Alanson Secretary, N.

It was saiV that the German bdioolniaslev really' made the war against, France in 1.'870. That the same commanding influence is forming the vision of the young German mind today will be readily believed in the light of the> following remarkable letter, written by a Prussian school miss, of good standing, to a French teacher friend in Switzerland: Frank Cort-on-Odor, 20th'July, 1910 My Miss Louise���������The contents of your letter would have hurl me had I not known that your thoughts of our glorious war resulted from sheer ignorance. You aro in a,country rendered effeminate by the influence of old- fashioned ideas of liberty, a country is at least two centuries behind ours. You are in need of a good dose of Prussian culture. It is evident that, you, a Swiss girl, with your French sympathies, cannot understand how my heart, the heart of a young Gorman.g-iH, paa������iona!.ely desired this war. Speaking of if some years ago,. my father said to us, "Children, Germany is gelling too small for us; we shall have lo go to France again in order to Und more room." Is if our fault if France will nol understand that more money and land are necessary for us'? And you reproach us that our soldiers have been very cruel to the Belgian rabble, and you speak also of the destruction of Rheims, and of the burning or villagese' and towns. Well, that is war. As in every other FRIDAY; JUNE 22, 191? .j-ssHMua-saao- yostc-duy, again, our pastor explained to us convincingly that our first .parents, Adam and Eve, were also Prussian. That is quite easy to understand, because the Bible tells us LUaf the German God. created us all after his own image. J I', then, all men are descended "from Adam and his wife, it follows that only Prussians, or at least Germans, ought to exist in the world, and that all who push on and prosper ought to belong to us. Yo'u must admit that that ia why our motto-is, "God with us, Germany above everything.'" You now know why we wished this war. is it not shameful that other nations, who have no right to existence on the earth, wish to diminish our heritage- We are tho divine fruit and others arc only the weeds. Do you understand lhat/'now? 1 remain your schol friend, KATTE HAMEL, Daughter ol Stale Concillorol. Architecture. m ���������undertaking, we are pastmastcrs the making of war. 'j You have a great deal to learn before you can come up to our standard, and I can assre you that what has been done so far is a mere bagatelle compared with what will follow. As a matter of fact, there Is but one race worthy of ruling the world, and which lias already attained the highest degree of civilization. That race is ours, the Prussian; for though we Germans in general are the lords of the world,, the Prussian is undoubtedly the lord per excellence a- mong the Germans. All other nations, and among them unfortunately the Swiss, are degenerate and of inferior worth. That is why I have always been so proud of being a true Prussian.
