It was in 1915 that Sir. Kite noticed a single root of some sixteen stools growing on some land he was preparing for a garden. On maturing, the plant appeared to be something new in this farmer's experience, so he gathered the grains and seeded'them the following year. Hail and other misfortunes have dogged his footsteps but by last fall Mr. Kite had gathered enough seed to put some forty acres into crop. After next year's harvest there should be enough of this new grain to allow its being put on the market commercially, and to be tested out on a wider scale. Samples havo already been sent to the Peace River and to Idaho, and enthusiastic reports were received from both these points. As the Peace River farmer put it: "It has turned out so well that I will take a carload if you can let me have it."

Burnham Sees Good Results From Imperial Press Meeting London.���Lord Burnham, proprietor of the Daily Telegraph, speaking at the production of a film illustrating the meetings of the Imperial Press Conference, of which he was chairman, held in Canada some time ago, said there was no doubt that, as a direct result of the conference and the intimate contact it brought Tleading British journalists Into with Canadian conditions from Halifax to Victoria, the great daily newspapers of London and the province had largely increased their intelligence department re garding Canada and were carrying more Canadian news than ever before. Lord Burnham went on to refer to the corresponding value that was being obtained by Canadian daily newspapers through the arrangement entered into between Reuter's and Canadian Press Limited, whereby a valuable supplementary cable service of British news was going direct from London into their offices. Not the least important part of this new departure was the access that the Canadian Press thus got to the news of the British Press Association, J,he co- operative~_organs of British newspapers covering news of the British Isles in much the same way as the Canadian Press covers the news of the Dominion. Heavy Fine For Liquor Manufacture London.���Three important developments emerged from the confusion Into which the resignation of-^M. Briand, the French premier, threw the Cannes negotiations. These were, first, that a ministry, headed by Raymond Poincare will take the place of the Briand" administration; second, that the Genoa economic conference appears to have been saved out of wreckage; and, third, that the reparations committee, acting under the discretion it possesses by, virtue of the Versailles Treaty, had granted Germany a moratorium until the allies arrive at a new decision wlthregard to her condition. Germany/instead of- paying the 500,000,000 gold marks due next Sunday, is to pay every ten days ap- ��� proximately 31,000,000 gold marks which latter amount is considered as representing 26 per cent, of her exports. "* Whether the Anglo-French pact .- arranged between M. Briand and Mr. Lloyd George can- be saved, is considered to depend upon a conference between Mr. Lloyd George and M. Poincare. The latter always has been solid for the Versailles Treaty, and inasmuch as France Is known to desire a pact to replace the tripartite convention, including the United States which was contemplated in the original peace negotiations, M. Poincare, like M. Briand, will have to count with the extreme nationalist " views. Doubts are entertained here as to whether the nationalists will accept the stipulations Mr. Lloyd George, imposes as necessary preliminaries to a conclusion of the pact. For these reasons' it is considered quite possible prolonged and difficult negotiations might ensue before agreement is reached. an Edmonton Courts Collect Over Thousand Dollars in Cash Edmonton.���One of the largest fines in the history of the Edmonton courts in connection with the illicit manufacture of liquor was imposed' upon George Coydon in the city police court by George B. McLeod, and as a result the accused man paid to the authorities over one thousand dollars in cash at the close of his case, The fine was imposed in connection with what is believed to be the biggest and most complete illicit still ever found In the province of Alberta, in the enforcement of the inland rev-J enue act.

Forecast of Policy at Opening Session of Manitoba Legislature Winnipeg.���Investigation of opera- lion of the Provincial Government service by a select committee of the legislature with the object of bringing about all possible economies with due regard to efficiency, was forecasted by Sir James Aikins, lieutenant-governor of Manitoba, in opening tho second session of the sixteenth Manitoba Legislature. A feature of the opening was that the general public was invited to attend the ceremonies through advertisements in local newspapers instead of the usual custom of by invitation only. In delivering his speech from the throne, Sir James referred to the financial position of the agricultural industry. His address carried the information that provision would be ma.de to assist the farmers with necessary loans. It was also stated that a bill would be brought before the House to permit municipalities of Manitoba to accept taxes during 1922 without imposing penalties. The speech from the throne also forecasts another move by the legislature this year to obtain control of the natural resources of the province and reductions In freight rates. During the present year, a-soil survey-will be "carried on under-the" direction of the Government while the legislature will be.41.sked to deal with the problem of more efficient drainage and more equitable distribution of drainage costs, "^he child welfare - bill will again come before the house for consideration.-' It pays to patronize home Industry.

The Providence Mining Company lias sent out the following circulars to their shareholders: Chicago, 111., Jan 5, 1922. Dear Sir: This is to advise you that notice has been served on the President and Managing Director of the Providence Mining Co., L,td., N.P.L., by the holders and owners of the bond issue heretofore made by the Company to secure its bonds, in the sum of $50,000.00, for^the payment of said bonds. A demand has been made by the bondholders for the payment of the principal and interest now due upon the bond issue, aud the Company has been notified that in the event of its failure to meet its obligations in this behalf that foreclosure proceedings will be instituted under the terms of the Trust Deed on the mining property securing this bond issue. There is now due and owing to the bondholders upon their bonds ��50,- 000.00 principal with accrued interest auiounliug to ��24,723.82. There are outstanding the Company's notes for ��5,- 659.20. There is clue for material, labor, etc., fi4.641.46, making a total of fSs,- 024.4S. I atu calling your attention to these matters, and laying the facts before you, so that you may, if you so desire, indicate whether or not you are willing or desirous to take any steps towards the raising of a fund sufficient to pay these obligations aud prevent foreclosure. Of course this demand and notice of the bondholders mean that if this account is not raised that immediate proceedings will be coin- ately 67 cents per share for the 30,100 shares issued, and if there is any value in the mine it would be the means of saving it for all of the stockholders. It is only a comparatively small amount and may prove a very valuable investment. The stockholders will remember how earnestly I tried lo have them subscribe their pro rata share of the debenture bonds when they were issued. I again nrge.you.'to put up your pro rata share of this $20,000 assessment that in the event the mine proves profitable it may be enjoyed by all the stockholders I have talked with some ofthe bondholders and they agree to the above proposition. In case this series of letters is successful I will use my best efforts to have other bondholders agree to this. I am sending an identical letter-to all of the stockholders of record. Hoping to hear from you al an early date, I am - Very respectfully, Mark F. Madden, President's* Managing Director. APPLICATIONS FOR GRAZING PERMITS UNDER GRAZING ACT 1919 foreclosure menced. Dear Sir: The Ltd., N.P.L. Committee of Very; respectfully, MlCHAE*. S. Maddrx, Secretary. Chicago, 111., Jan. 7, 1922. Providence Miuing Co., has been notified by a the holders of the debenture bonds that unless, payment is made of same they will start foreclosure proceeding, notice of which has been mailed to all of the stockholder by the Secre- tarj*. On January 1, 1922, there was due the principal sum of $50,000,00 on the bonds, with accrued interest amounting to #24,723.82. In addition to the bond issue the Company owes on ��� notes outstanding, past due $5,659.20, and accounts for supplies, labor, power, etc. $4,641.46, making a total of $85,024.48. I understand the bondholders have agreed to take care of the above outstanding accounts iu addition to the bonds, should they be compelled to bid the property in. The mine has been closed down since Sept.. 7, 1921, as we were operating at a loss. The causes' for this were: First, the former Lessees had taken out ore wherever he could find it without doing sufficient development work, and had drifted under the Providence Creek, apparently for the purpose of developing the Bull Dog Exaction, adjoining the Providence on thc South-' which he- claims he" has staked or located, , Second, the floods were worse last spring than- they have been for twenty years according to reports. This trouble was added to by the water-coming in from -Providence creek. Third, from a shortage of cash to operate the mine to the best advantage, and.otlier causes. To re-open the mine there stiduld be at least $20,000 in cash provided for operating expenses, and to pay off about $4600 which we owe for material, explosives, powder and labor. If this amount was raised I would try to get the bondholders, and holders_ of_the_promis_- sory. notes, to at least postpone foreclosure.
