C.\nv\nWhy Not Protect Yourself ?\nIn 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\ncommand.\nA lew days ago a fanner came into one of our large Western cities and,\nmeeting a friend, asked him the location of ;i certain mortgage corporation's\nollice. In surprise the friend inquired as to the reason he was visiting such\nan ollice. The farmer explained that, he had lost 1.500 acres of wheat through\na severe hailstorm, and was now forced to mortgage his land. This bis;\nfarmer, fyr.seeing in so many things, had neglected to insure his crop against\nhail.\nHe could not protect his crop against drought, or rust, nor sawfly, and\nonly to a limited extent against grasshoppers. As an individual he could not\ncontrol fi eight rates, market prices, nor many of his productive costs. Hut\nit was hail, whicli he could not prevent, hut against which he might: have adequately insured himself. ' He failed to lake that, precaution and consequently\nfound himself compelled to mortgage his land and pay heavy rates of interest\nwhich will make inroads into future profits.\nTho factory owner who fails to insure his buildings aud plant against (ire,\nand the storekeeper who neglects to insure his business, is regarded as little\nshort of insane. The professional man who fails to insure his life, and whose\nfamily's income ceases when he dies, is improvident and the object of severe\ncensure 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\nafford to pay the premium; if it does strike, he can pay the premium out of\nthe insurance received and still have a substantial margin wherewith, to carry\non.\nThe entire farming community of Western Canada is stirred up over the\norganizations of Wheat Pools, having for their object the more orderly marketing of wheat, the prevention of individual dumping on the market, thus\ntending to lower prices. Through the organization of these Pools it is hoped\nto add a few cents per bushel to the price realized by the grower, and in many\ncases those few cents will represent the difference between actual loss on j\nproduction and a small profit. It is, therefore, hoped Lite Pools -will succeed.\nBut hundreds, even thousands, ol' farmers continue to allow weeds to infest their land, weeds which reduce the yield per acre very considerably,\nsometimes alarmingly, and result in a loss far greater than the difference of\na 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\nfarmer cannot hope to do so. But farmers individually and collectively can\nadd many dollars to the selling price of their grain crops by keeping their\nland as free as possible from weeds. Yet so many of them fail to do so.\nEven municipalities, entrusted with the responsibility, of weed destruction,\nleave their road allowances to become veritable weed beds, a menace to the\nwhole countryside.\nUnited States Government experts havo traced a loss of $12,500 to one\nbarberry bush. The outbreak of stem rust started .by this one bush travelled\nin one direction at least live miles and affected the wheat on eighteen farms.\nAll over Western Canada can be seen patches of thistle being left;.to ripen\nfor our prevailing winds to \"scatter in-all-directions and sullicient-'to reduce\nthe yield or grain' on tens.of thousands''of acre's to\"an extent to more,than off-.\nset many times over-any be.tformenlin price-.which the Wheat-Pciois. can; pos-\nsibly:b)ing about: \" Whether tlie;\\Vheac'--Pools--wiir.i)_roVe'7'i- success-'time' and\n\"actual experience alone can- tell,\"1 but weeds'.can be successfully fought*\"'arid\novercome\/arid financial.bencfits frohi-suclVaction7are certain.-'-.: .'\" .-\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \/ \"-.'

This was equivalent to\nnot quite seven-tenths of 1 per cent,\nof, the total population. At the time\nof the 1901 census there were 127.S99\ncitizens of American birth in Canada.\nIn that of\" 1911 there were 303,6S0,\nrepresenting 4.1 per cent, of the total\npopulation of the time.

Not so -long ago it was\ngenerally .considered a wide waste\nwith an inhospitabre climate an\ufffd\ufffd unconquerable distances.

Agriculture, the-backbone of our export trade,\nas represented by agricultural and\nvegetable\" products, amounted to $407,-\n760,000, or 43.8 per cent, of the total,\nwhile animal products amounted to\n?108,339,000, or 11.6 per cent.

Upon the wheels were\nfixed prayers, and each turn of the\nwheel-was a prayer offered to the\ngods, as efficacious as if offered by\nj word of-mouth. It would be a sacrl-\nI lege, they said, to use the water for\n[\"industrial purposes, - -\nThe government solved the difficulty\nby directing the electric - light company to install motors tf> drive the\n-prayer-mills, so that Simla now prays\nby electricity.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdRecord of Christian\nWork.\nImports Shown to..be Considerably on\nthe Increase\nTliere was an increase of 140\" million dollars in the\"total trade of Canada during the four months of the~cur-\nrent fiscal yea* ending with July, according to figures., recently made public by the Department, of Customs and\nExcise.
