In tho successful carrying on of any business, whether it. be ihat of farming, or .i store, or a factory, there are so many factors over which the Individual has no control that it i.s all the more important that he shouid provide eve.'.? possible safeguard against loss which il. is within his power to command. A lew days ago a fanner came into one of our large Western cities and, meeting a friend, asked him the location of ;i certain mortgage corporation's ollice. In surprise the friend inquired as to the reason he was visiting such an ollice. The farmer explained that, he had lost 1.500 acres of wheat through a severe hailstorm, and was now forced to mortgage his land. This bis; farmer, fyr.seeing in so many things, had neglected to insure his crop against hail. He could not protect his crop against drought, or rust, nor sawfly, and only to a limited extent against grasshoppers. As an individual he could not control fi eight rates, market prices, nor many of his productive costs. Hut it was hail, whicli he could not prevent, hut against which he might: have adequately insured himself. ' He failed to lake that, precaution and consequently found himself compelled to mortgage his land and pay heavy rates of interest which will make inroads into future profits. Tho factory owner who fails to insure his buildings aud plant against (ire, and the storekeeper who neglects to insure his business, is regarded as little short of insane. The professional man who fails to insure his life, and whose family's income ceases when he dies, is improvident and the object of severe censure among friends and relatives. And tho grain farmer who is dependent on his field crops, the loss of which means his ruin, is a fool if he neglects to protect himself through insurance. if hail does not strike, he can afford to pay the premium; if it does strike, he can pay the premium out of the insurance received and still have a substantial margin wherewith, to carry on. The entire farming community of Western Canada is stirred up over the organizations of Wheat Pools, having for their object the more orderly marketing of wheat, the prevention of individual dumping on the market, thus tending to lower prices. Through the organization of these Pools it is hoped to add a few cents per bushel to the price realized by the grower, and in many cases those few cents will represent the difference between actual loss on j production and a small profit. It is, therefore, hoped Lite Pools -will succeed. But hundreds, even thousands, ol' farmers continue to allow weeds to infest their land, weeds which reduce the yield per acre very considerably, sometimes alarmingly, and result in a loss far greater than the difference of a few cents per bushel in the selling price. Even with Wheat Pools it is going to be difficult to influence prices in the right direction, and the individual farmer cannot hope to do so. But farmers individually and collectively can add many dollars to the selling price of their grain crops by keeping their land as free as possible from weeds. Yet so many of them fail to do so. Even municipalities, entrusted with the responsibility, of weed destruction, leave their road allowances to become veritable weed beds, a menace to the whole countryside. United States Government experts havo traced a loss of $12,500 to one barberry bush. The outbreak of stem rust started .by this one bush travelled in one direction at least live miles and affected the wheat on eighteen farms. All over Western Canada can be seen patches of thistle being left;.to ripen for our prevailing winds to "scatter in-all-directions and sullicient-'to reduce the yield or grain' on tens.of thousands''of acre's to"an extent to more,than off-. set many times over-any be.tformenlin price-.which the Wheat-Pciois. can; pos- sibly:b)ing about: " Whether tlie;\Vheac'--Pools--wiir.i)_roVe'7'i- success-'time' and "actual experience alone can- tell,"1 but weeds'.can be successfully fought*"'arid overcome/arid financial.bencfits frohi-suclVaction7are certain.-'-.: .'" .-" ��� / "-.'

Twelve Per Cent, of Our Population Said to be From U.S. Few people would credit the extent to which the American people have come to permeate the Canadian Dominion, especially the Western Provinces, in recent, years. In the year 1871, when the first census of the newly federated Dominion wasN> .taken, Canada was found to have a population of 3.4S5.761, and of these 24,162 recorded their birthplace as tlie United States. This was equivalent to not quite seven-tenths of 1 per cent, of, the total population. At the time of the 1901 census there were 127.S99 citizens of American birth in Canada. In that of" 1911 there were 303,6S0, representing 4.1 per cent, of the total population of the time. From 1911 to 1921 a total of 748,118 citizens or the United States entered Canada, so that at the present time there are well over 1,000,000 people in Canada who have been citizens of the United. Slates, or something like 12 per cent, of the total Dominion population.���E. L. Chlcanot in August Current History Magazine. 7 Murdered!

W. X. U. - 14SS Ideal English Village Lord "Lincolnshire Describes^ Plan Which Worked Perfectly The ideal English village was described to the London Daily News by the Marquis of Lincolnshire. And it exists. It is" Drayton Parslow in Buckinghamshire.- - There are apparently no farmer employers left in it. .Everyone farms his ,pwn small holding. During the war the-yillage -was entirely- self-supporting���"the only one of its kind, I believe"���said Lord Lincolnshire. There is no interference from parson or squire. The leading villager has been made , a Justice'- of the Peace and no ono has ever been even one shilling in arrears with his^rent since 1868. It Is apparently a sort of Soviet village, where houses, farmyards and land have been divided - among the villagers on a community basis. "When I inherited in '68," said Lord Lincolnshire at the Mansion House, "I had. a "deputation of over a hundred men from a .village in the Vale of Aylesbury. v They were heads of families, and they, told me that the farmers employed twenty-to twent^five of them. The remainder stood about the village street to be hired���like eabs I "I asked them would some land bc any good to them. They took over some-fields and began to dig them up" with spades. > ' "Now the whole of that village is under the cultivation of "the men themselves., There isn't a farmer left. The-bulk of the land was put gradually into the common -stock pot,1 and house and farmyards wore divided up between the families. They turned a derelict village school into -a village hall. "My. neighbors ��� said i ,'It'g only another.' fad of that . lunatic,.' but it. came off.- No orie has ever been--In arrears with Iiis rent... If-a man loses a pig or has a run' of bad luck he is helped out of^the comomn fund.

Within a short time one of London's slums will be definitely cleaned out, owing to the drastic, proposal of the Borough of Bermondsey, the council having decided to pull down all buildings in Salisbury Street, one of the most notorious slum districts in the entire city. The place will be rebuilt with modern houses. '/" Forty years ago thisv district was condemned by the public health authorities as insanitary, bu't���>until now nothing has done done to remedy matters'. While the replacing of rain- shackle old houses with new blocks is going on inhabitants will be provided with temporary accommodations. Bermondsey is the first of London boroughs to""tackle the problem of slum clearance. In 1911, the last borough inspection of London's housing condition, no fewer than, 1,900 groups of houses were condemned, but practically all of these not only are still in existence but are still densely populated. An Outsider's View Of Canada Limitless Resources Which Have Scarcely Been Touched In a recent article giving a forecast of the domination of the American continent. Dr. Frank Crane has this to say of Canada: "Few of us realize the enormous strides which Canada has made within the space of one or two generations.' Not so -long ago it was generally .considered a wide waste with an inhospitabre climate an�� unconquerable distances. Today,' having sprung as if overnight, it is traversed f^bm-tlie Atlantic to the Pacific by a network of railways, some of them among the finest in the world. "Where once roamed herds of buffalo and where savage Indians gained a ..precarious living by hunting and fishing there are now innumerable farms,, great herds of cattle and sheep and manufacturing enterprises of all kinds. - '��� .

The three prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta contaiu a land' area of 466,000^000 acres. Of these 200,000,000 are first- class land, that will raise the finest crops. At present less than 35,000,- 000 acres are under cultivation, with only about .a million and three-quarters population. Of the remaining 165,000,000 acres of good farming land considerably over 30,000,000 acres lie within fifteen miles < of existing railroads. This is a sample of the almost limitless, resources of Canada wlvjcli have hardly been touched. No country in the world lias had a better start than the .United States and Canada. The people are of the most intelligent, adventurous and progressive stock. They - began with governing themselves and they will always keep it ' up. They are for the most part free from hampering religious superstitions that clog the most of Europe. It is poor soil for Socialism, Bolshevism and other isms which are but reactions from the long tyrannies of the oldvworlu." -...-'��� Natural Resources Bulletin^ Natural Resources Bulk Largely In j Our Export Trade The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa, says: I The extent to which Canada's natural resources enter into her export trade is shown by the figures for the year ending March 31 last. Agriculture, the-backbone of our export trade, as represented by agricultural and vegetable" products, amounted to $407,- 760,000, or 43.8 per cent, of the total, while animal products amounted to ?108,339,000, or 11.6 per cent. The forests, with their products-of wood and paper, supplied a value of $228,- 756,000 to our export trade, or 24.5 per cent., while mines and minerals contributed $123,143,000, or 13.3 per cent. Fisheries, Canada's first natural resource *ta be developed, showed exports of $27,502,000, or 3 per cent, of the total, while chemical products, derived entirely from our natural resources and largely due to our unexcelled waterpower providing facilities for their manufacture, showed exports of $14,017,000, or 1.5 per cent, of our total export trade. With such a showing made by our 8,7SS,000 population, it is not much to be wondered at that Canadians are proud of their na^ tural resources.

Celebration at Midway *" September the 3rd was surely a red letter day for the United Farmers. Perfect weather, loads of fun for young and old and good things to eat at the booths which were ably managed by R. A. Brown and his assistants. In spite of all fehe work this year's harvest entailed, the farmers worked hard all day and success crowned their efforts. Tha programme which started at 10 a.m. ran smothly along till the last event at_7.30 p.m. and without an accident to mar the day's pleasure. The swimming race did not take place owing to the lack of contes tants. There was quite a good turn out of people from far and near, all with holiday dress and smiles. The horse racing was one of the eveutB which could surely be enjoyed at Midway owing to the beautiful flat track. This is only one of the many celebrations the Uaited Farmers expect to hold, theytohope for lots more, They have worked hard to give others a good time and have been successful. And it will be found in every sphere of life that success comesjnot by wishing but by hard work, so with this end in view the U.F. will go on with undaunted spirits to attain that which they aspire to. The committee wish to thank the public for their kind patronage and interest ih the celebration and a special vote of thanks to Mr. R. A. Brown for his kind financial assistance." After all races and events were paid up, the farmers broke even. So come again and have another_[good time at the TJ. F. picnic next year. EVENTS.

Immigration returns of the Canadian Government for the first five months of the present year show a one hundred per cent increase in immigration from the British Isles over the figures for the same period of last year. The 1923 apple crop of the Okanagan Valley will amount to 4,620 cars according to the estimate of W. T. Hunter, district Hbrticu.tur- ist. This is an increase of 20 per cent over last year and a record for the district. Thc apole crop for Kootenay and boundary districts will approximate 380,000 boxes. * A new high record of production was established by Canadian newsprint mills during May with 110,252 tons, an increase of nearly 10,000 tons over the month of April and 15,750 over May of last year.

If the Canadian nre-war. exports of flour are considered as 100, the Dominion's average export total between 1921 and 1923 can be considered as 207. Comparatively, pre-war exports of the United States being rated at 100, its present export is at the rate of 147. This . indicates that Canada, has more than doubled her export trade in flour while the United States has increased its trade by 47 per cent. Before the war Canada exported 3,832,000 barrels, while at present her exports average 7,885,- 000 barrels a year.-���"Journal of Commerce."

Major General Lord Lovett, a passenger on the Canadian Pacific liner "Montcalm," and delegate to the British Empire Forestry Conference, Ottawa, said in connection with his - investigations into Canadian forestry methods" and applied science; "England has but a small forest" area in comparison to Canada, nevertheless, her forests were depleted two-thirds to meet the" emergencies of the War, and now we are determined to recover this loss by practical .reforestation. We have been working at this for the last three years and expect to make a completion of our work in another year."'. ��� Dependable Service FOR more than a century the Bank of Montreal has endeavoured to serve its customers loyally and well, ever mindful ofthe fact that a Bank's charter is justified by the willingness ofthe Bank to play a constructive part in the economic life of the community it serves.
