SATURDAY MORNING MAY 2nd, 1914. No 18 Enthusiastic Pre-emptors File Their Claims 67 New Settlers for the Cranbrook District. The Forward Movement has begun About 10,(100 acres uf IokrmI-oJ lands, expired timber licences In thc Oranbrook district, surveyed and subdivided Into blocks ol from 40 to 160 acres wns thrown open for preemption on Friday, May 1st. Tho land is agricultural, nml is situated nortli ot Cranbrook, and on the tain ous St. Mary's Prairie, while otber lands are located along the Kootenay river. The group nearest Cranbrook arc subdivisions of former timber licences on the south of 8t. Mary's river the nearest lots belns within three miles of ('ranbrook, the greater portion lying between St. Joseph creek and Perry creek. The soil throughout this group is generally sandy loam, with gravelly soil ln places. Land in the vicinity produces excellent crops without irrigation. Another block some five miles north, on the cast of the Kimberley railway, and still another block south of Fort Steele was thrown open. None but British subjects will be allowed to file applications, and all applicants must be on their land within sixty days after receiving notice that their applications have been granted. It was on Wednesday morning when George Parnaby, the. first applicant' came armed with an armchair and madi* himself comfortable at the'front door of the Government offices; others followed at intervals until when thc roll was taken at night it was seen that ten applicants were either rolled in blankets and sleeping, or amusing themselves the best tbey knew how to pass the time of the long vigil in front of them. The purpose of these were to be ths flrst apnlicants for various sections of logged-ofl lands, embracing 152 lotB -nneing'from 40 to 660 acres in extent. Among the applicai.ls tbat t.iok up their positions along cue lire were some who have come from Van couver, Alberta, and from the near by States. A pathetic incident in connection with the opening of tbosa lands was the arrival of an elderly lady, Mrs. K. L. Paxman, of Purple Springs, Alberta, searching for a missing son, she believing that he might be among the land seekers assembled at tbe office here. Time and again she scanned the lines only to be disappointed. The Son she sought was not there. She has been awaiting with longing hope that he would show up. By the courtesy of the gov ernment officials she was allowed in the offices and was made as comfortable as possible where as eacb applicant passed Hit she could Bee their faces. How disappointed she was on seeing the laBt applicant pass her no one will ever know. She left on thc afternoon train for her tionti with the request to thc Chief of Police that If there were any tidings would he let her know. The majority ot tbo applicants have been over tbe land ot their selection and nre'well satislled with the prospects ol the future. ConsliPrablc interest In tho opening of these lands have been taken by thc Hoard of Trade, thc Hoard bus maintained for soni.' time an Information Bureau nt tbe City Hall in charge of Mr. Fred 7,000 Acres Appled For Cranbrook Citizens, the Future of Majority of Applicants Proved Confidence in this District. Itussell, and many citizens kindly loaned their autos for tho benelit of ! thc settlers. Mr. R. A. Ronwick, deputy Minister of Lands, arrived from Victoria, Wednesday, and with Mr. J. Gordon Smith of the Department of Lands who preceuded him, carried out the ' arrangements for the opening ol the lauds in company with Mr. N. A. Walllnger, the local Government A- gent. Everything and everyone was in place when the first land-seeker came through the door to register bis claim. Wben daylight broke on Friday morning it could be seen how anxious the applicants were to realize their choice, some of these had been waiting along of 36 hours ano others for two days. Tbe wait was not so bad as some might Imagine. The weather was of the beBt, the nights were a little cold but with good wrappers and blankets this was overcome, and as Is natural wben all were.gathered for one purposs they found much to amuse themselves with. Early in the morning the Chief of Police and his assistant called the roll, that is as the applicants began' to gather it was seen that a large number would be on deck, and to a- vold all possible disturbance that might be expected at auch a time, the chief had given each applicant a number and took his-her name so that when Friday morning came and tbe numbers were called out eacb applicant was there to answer. It waa found tbat several applicants had a- handoned their positions and ao the Chief juBt moved the next number in place, thus eliminating any risk of an heated quarrel. Inside the Government Office every possible preparation had been made for any circumstance that might a- rise, blue prints and maps of the lauds were spread on one table, on another forms of declarations were cSBily available, and wbilst every possible emergency was carefully thought out the convenience of each applicant was well considered. As the clock struck nine Mr. Walllnger told the Chief of Police to let in the first applicant, and so be in turn called to his assistant at the outer door to open for the first man. With smiles and happiness beaming from his countenance that hla vlrgil Vas ended and that his waiting was not in vain, Mr. George Parnaby ol Cranbrook registered the lirst claim on Lot 10366. Mr. Walllnger took his oath and Herbert Clark registered his claim, Mr. Ren- wick congratulated him on his choice After this the applicants came in by twos; in thc first hour 35 claims were registered, in the second there v/ere three partnership claims registered which delayed a little making 50 applicants tor the two hours. At noon all of the waiting applicants bad been disposed of, there were 5 more registered in the afternoon and It is expected that for several days they will be coming in. Everyone of tbe applicants spoke enthusiastically regarding tbe fair treatment that had been accorded to tbem in recording their claims. Deputy Minister of Lands Renwick was especially favorably mentioned ln the comments because of his courteous manner and kind assistance in help- lug them to solve several doubts in mind, as one man said: "he seemed one of themselves, only with the knowledge attached." The Chief of Police and his assistant were also commented on the arrgngeinents made and the manner with which each one was considered. Several ap pllcants have particularly asked us to thank hliu'for this (by the way we have done lt and he appreciated the compliment) and also bis assistant. Mr. Walllnger the local government Agent and bis assistants, are to he highly praised for their work ln con- n.-ction with the opening up of these lands, not only on tbis particular dny, but for the work and assistance for several weeks previous when tbelr advise was valuable to the seeker.

Concert at Fort Stee'e (From our flwoiftl Correspondent) A very enjoyable evening wai spent on Monday, April 27th, at the Pres byterian church, Fort Btfsele, tbe rea son being the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Chambers for Sa:*.atchewan, en route for England. Mr. Chambers haa given yeoman service to tbe church during his residence here; occupying the position of superlnten- of the Sunday school, leader of tbe bible class, chairman of the Board of Managers, and many times occupied the pulpit in a very acceptable manner In the absence of the regular minister. Mrs. Chambers, has by ber charming personality, endeared herself to the residents of the district. The res pect in wblch they are both held was shown by tho large attendance on Monday. Mr. W. J, Duncan presided, and ln a few well chosen words voiced the regret of all present at tbeir departure and wished them "bon voyage." Mr. R. h. T. Galbraith delivered an interesting address In which he eulogized the work of Mr. Chambers. Mr. Chambers who was very cordially received, fittingly replied and expressed his Intention of returning in three years time. During the even ing the following program was rendered, Mrs. Cooper, organist, proving herself a most efficient accompan ist:— Instrumental selection, Mrs. Cooper, McBsrs .!, and H.

A resolution was passod that all constables who resign nml huve not been mi the city payroll for a porl oil ot sli months, will have to pay for tbelr uniforms. At the Royal Hotel on Wednesday' the District Conservation tendered to tbe Hon. Thomas Taylor a Smoker and an impromptu banquet. Hon. Robt. A. Renwick was also n guest. Owing to tbe short notice received of tbe intenbed visit of tbe Hon. gentlemen, great credit is due to Mr. Wm. Steward, manager o[ the Royal Hotel for tbe excellent efforts he made to provide for a capacity till. Previous to the banquet the executive of the association met in the parlors for a short business session, fit tbe close of which they all retired to the hanqueting chamber. Thos. M.P.P. for this district, took the chair at about ten o'clock and commenced the evening's entertainment by proposing a toast to "Thc King" nnd next, to "the Hon. Thomas Tuy lor, Minister of Works." Mr. Gibbs was called upon to give a solo and ably rendered "The i^iu'eti of the Earth," Mr. A. B. Watts, of Wattsburg was then called upon to say a few words to the gathering, und in rising said "The amount of good roads in the district and throughout the Province was largely due to the excellent administration of the department under thi direction of the Minister of Works. Honest criticisms of nny department or any works were good for all concerned, in that th»y did not condemn thc work but suggested improvement; which owing to the various duties of the person in charge were not neglected by any means but overlooked; in the majority of cases such criticisms were taken to heart and acted on to the advantage of all concerned. And so it is with the department of Public Works in splft.i of all contrary Ttti- cisniB that have been made we must recognize tbe fact that great strides have been made in the province of H. C. to broaden out the scope that Is made for tho furthering up of the work of the Department of Lands. Tbis fact is evident in the work of the Hon. W. R. Ross who is in charge of that department, who, by the administrative powers be is possessed of bas be.'n improving thc conditions of the ranchers, farmers, hnd other settlers all through the province." Mr. Watts, In passing, referred to what he called "Shop Talk," but to the country and especially tbe Province of Britiah Columbia it was absolutely necessary that tbe average mnn should better understand tbe conditions that prevail in respect to the foremost industry at the present time in B. C, namely, the lumber Industry. He complimented thc Hon W. R. Ross on the efforts he is making to enlarge the exporting of lum-, ber. It is a very notable fact, and an encouraging one too, to note Hint the admiration of the whole world was recently drawn In a wonderful way to the Act affecting this lars; industry that was a short time ago presented to the house for its consideration. In introducing the Hon. Thomas Taylor to the gathering thc chairman drew attention to the fact thnt tho Hon. gentleman was in the dls. trict at thc present time looking o- ver some uf the worn connected with his department. During thc after no in several suggestions hud been' made to him respecting several of the roads, etc., and it was Mr. Taylor's intention to look into tW sc matters. The Hon. Thos. Taylor, in rising suid he appreciated to thc full the expressions of confidence that his many friends snid of him and trusted that the confidence would he supported by the work he was using every endeavor to carry out In bis depnrtment. in passing he wished to suy that ho appreciated tbe assistance that your member, Mr. Caven had given blm from time to timo, unit OBpeclally recently In RowlHtoko where he Invited "Tom" to attend; he hnd been a great help to lilm in t.e.l , was remarkable when it was thero vva« not even an election iu sight aud one not probbblo even for the next two years. The work he bud to do was a > *:y i.(tensive one when it wus remembered that since the time when he took control there had I n expended over $30,000*000. It is very natural to expect thut mistakes hud been made but the department over be was thc head wns endeavoring to do all in their power to correct tbem. During my tra vels through tho various districts of the province it is my earnest desire to correct abuses und criticisms that are suro to be levelled at the local men in charge, many of them unfounded as to facts, In tbe Cranbrook District there have been splendid appropriations made nnd he was glad to find tbnt wonderful progress bad been made whereby transportation would be made easy nnd the BettlerB through the district obtain so mnny direct roads to tbe centres of commerce for thc disposal of their products. Another matter he wanted to mention waB the unity thnt existed between thn various members of tho Kootenay; he found that ench oro was ever ready to assist thc other in every way possible. This wns a good thing and augured well for the future progresa of thc Kootenays. When the government that Is now in power first toot control of the welfare of the Province the expenditure on Public Works was only $rifl0- Q00, wben be was giv.m the present control of the department tha,v wo-n spending $9,000,000 and now It assumed the enormous sum of $30,000- 000; other lines of progress in the province has been just as nmrkvd und he ventures to say that no pro- \ince in the whole Dominion could show such progress. Mr. Taylor drew the attention of liis hearers to the fnct that Mr. Ross's legislation re the lumber Industry was receiving the endorsation of the whole of Hritisb Columbia und tbe Dominion not to speak of tbo United Stntes nnd the continent across the seas. Tbe Laud Laws ure uow such as to bave made it possible for the throwing open of good arable land to pre-emptors, and in spite of any one Baying to the contrary, there are at present many millions of acres of good land that can be used for that purpose. 1 feel it my duty to spend money on public works nnd if necessary, to even mortgage the future for the purpose of raising the necessary capital. The building of good roads and the building of good substantial buildings are the most necessary adjunct to the progress of any country Thp public works department Ib the key to all the other departments, if this department is behind it puts a stumbling block to ull other departments; therefore we must push it along at almost any cost. It Is a vory notable fact that the present Indebtedness of the whole province is far less than that of the cities of Vancouver or Victoria. Thc J McBride government ban ad mted a I policy of railway development that is unparellaled In the history of tbe ! world. In the year 1903 when they assumed power there was only 1H0U miles In nperation, now there was i-11.00 miles. Many criticisms hud hen ! made respecting the bonding of the JC.N.R. and thc Paritic Great Eastern railways; in reply to these it .should he known that no call was | mnde ou the (lovernmenl dur ng con Btriictlon, The active railwny policy of the Government bus received the approval of the people time and time again. Reference eould he well drawn to the elections thnt recently took place ' in the Islands when t be Liberal candidate just received nine VOtefl over losing bis deposit. Mr. Tavl >r also spoke of the open ing of the Panama cnnal nud its beneficial Influent}, upon the trade of i industry Ln tbe Kootenays, making special reference to the work of tbe Huu, R, F. Green. "Should the port lotio of Mines ever be made no more Important mun could be found lo till tbe position than tbe Hon. R. K. Green." This is mining district and us such lt should 11' recognized. Mr. i'. Lund in bis remarks refer- id to tne money stringency thiough- out the length and breadth of tbe laud, even tbe whole world. ; Mr. McDougal ol the Consolidated I Mining Company at Klmtiarley, Baid tbat the lead mines at Kimberley wore very promising, but that the I'-unl success of the industry would lie arrived at whon the solution waB arrived at for the correct separating of the lead from the zinc. The mines al present in that district were at pn-sent un prospected. The company be represented were not shipping in such large quantities at present, they often receive an order for a cnrloud of ore to lie shipped for experimental pin poses. Mr. Stuurt, the general manager of the company, was very sanguine of tbe future. Mr. Geo. Stevenson, mnnagcr of the Cranbrook Jobbers, Ltd., upon being asked to say a few words on the commercial aspect, said: "I don't know much about the commercial aspect but this, 'We have ah— of a time collecting our debts.' " Mr. T. T. McVittie, as president of the Cranhrook District Conservative association extended a hearty greeting to the Hon. Thomas Taylor and give their endorsation to the work b>3 lias done jn this district. The meeting closed with "God Snve the King." his'work In this district nnd trtinfrM this province, especially to tho coast that hn might ree a long time to conic j The gathering at Revelstoke i.t which tbere was an attendance nf fully R00 people nnd again in Ornn brook tonight where 1 nm attending i a capacity house, the enthusiasm Ive that. b"lp fir cities.

Galbraith on being called upon to addrOSS tb- meeting spoke of tins outlook of the mining The Allen Players The Alleu Players were at tbe Auditorium tbis week opening in "The Woman," with Miss Vern£ Feltonas Wanda, the telephone girl. The first scene is the Amen corner of tbe house of congress, where lobbying prevails, and where tbe telephone is located. Mms Wanda Kelly holds sway there and is the dramatic sen- sution. She is just thc ordinary telephone girl, but she bus a kick registered against lobbyists, wbo turned a trick und ruined her father. The opportunity came when Jim Blake wanted to elect u speaker in tbe bomr, and his unscrupulous conduct which would ruin a "Woman" to ac- mplish his ends, causes Miss Kelly to go on the warpath, eventually de [eating Blake nnd his confederates. It is needtesB for uh to say that Miss Felton was an object ot absorbing interest, and played the part to perfection. Miss Fischer, as the "Woman," was excellent, in fact, the wbole company is deserving of great credit for their exceedingly fine rendering of their several parts, On Tuesday night "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" was played. In tbls programme Mrs. W. P. Allen, aB Aunt Mary, bad the stellar part. Mrs. Allen is an actress of thc old school, and is most consistent in all her work. As Aunt Mary she captured her audience, and received storms of applause; Miss Felton as "Granite" was excellent. On Wednesday "Trilby" was Played, with Miss Felton in the title role. In this part Miss Felton iB second to none on the American stage. It Is a pnrt which seems to draw out all her exceedingly strong emotional talent, and placet her at the p amone the lending artists of the country. On Thursdny "All of a Suddn Peggy" was thc title of th' play. And the suddenness of Peggy, (Miss Felton) was such as to cause L.ily Craekenthorpe to get hysterical, and the audience to roar with laughter. MrB. O'Mara, (Mrs. Allen) Peggy's mother, was a true colleen from Ufl Emerald tele, nnd shared to a large extent, the applause of thv audience which was so gencrousiy donated to Miss Felton. There ih nothing but truth tn tbe assertion that, the Allen Players -.,; the best attraction that Ih now play lug In the northwest, every performer Is au artist of high degree, and their performance always gives satisfaction to theatre goers. Tiie Allen I'luyers will give a ttiftV Inec Ihls afternoon, and tonight tbe programme will be "The Man fr.-m Mexico." You wlll laugh loud aud long if you attend this performance.

THE WEEK IN PARLIAMENT Tlr? conclusion of the budget debate was a ilasco. This wns the grent debate wblch was to exhibit to the people of Canada the Liberal party in the guise of free traders. .All through the weeks ol talk we had heard the duties on [oodstU0S described as the real cause of the high cost of living. Remove the duties on food and the people wlll be able to live cheaper wus the urgu- ment, It was the great new policy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Heralded tlrst in Hamilton, and later in Montreal, and announced over und over ugain on the floor of tbe House, the country had come to belfsve that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was in earnest. All that remained to be done to can the climax was to have thc principle em bodied in the amendment. But he did not do bo. The great freel food policy was snowvd under. To the ama7.e ment of the Government, whose representative, the Minister of Finance, had challen?ed him to brine it ni'.ro: Laurier made no rfeference ro it. • • • • The meaning of the omission >> clear. The Liberal pnrty i> nut, a unit on any policy, and in particular is at loggerheads regardniL- the tariff. There are in the Liberal party many protectionists, just as whole-souled as any protectionists in the Conservative "arty, and they will brook no interference with the tariff. Thoy declined to allow Sir Wilfrid to move his "free food" a- mendment, and he was compelled to give way. He is not muster of the Liberal party. • • • • The expectation of a fn'; food a- mendment was due to the unqualified approval of the policy by nearly every speaker on the Liherul side. Beginning with A. K. McLean, who led the debute, ono after another of the Liberal spokesmen declared themselves "free fooders." Indeed, the defjate.-fiecame a question of free trade on the one bund and protect ion on the other. There was not. the remotest suggestion that the free food policy would not he embodied in the amendment. For weeks, of course, nil that tb * House has talked Iiuh beon questions of tariff, und occasionally there have bcen some highly Interesting statements. One of the most valuable speeches wns made by W. (i. Wolcbel of North Waterloo, a Gorman- Canadian, Naturally, be is a keen student of affairs In tbe country of his ancestors, and be llnds noteworthy comparison between the progress made in protectionist Germany with tbnt made in free trade England. The advance made hy I Iermany provides some hard facts which the free traders cannot disprove. Not, alone in the production of mw materials, hut in tbe manufacture of these Germany has made progress tlmt is as founding, while there bus been a gen eral advance in the condition of the workingmen of ihnt country. Prominent among the Liberal speakers during the long debate were some protectionists. Oue of thc most advanced of theso, more advanced thnn most Conservatives, was W. F, Carroll, a Libera] member from Nova Scotia, He actually criticized the changes in the tarifl affecting stiei products, claiming that tbey did imt go far enough; in fuel, be was read) to stand for a bounty being puid to th..- manufacturers of structural steel. He laid down the policy that infant Industries which hud not reached the strength to cap ture the home market should be pro tected, and ho placed the steel In dustry in this class. Another Liberal, E, W, Nes.>itt. of North Oxford, came out against free agrl implements. He said he would reduce tbe duty slightly farther than tho Conservatives bad done, but hi would not tak'' altogether, as his own party • ■ • ■ ■ One of tbi iga - I .■■ Lauriei regime .- thi tion one penitent lat ■ at Least - K Stories I th. nditioas there have occaab (tally f tl eii the newspapers and tho present Gov eminent found it necessary t rtit ute an Inquiry, That has been con eluded, and the report preset Parliament.

PROOF: .Many columns of ligiires will prove n it hing if one is not open-minded enough! to look at the question fairly—tbis applies to wood und steel. Figures, being twtstable, convey nothing io Hie unprofessional who has no way of checking them. The proof lies in the satisfaction of the towns mentioned above, wtth mnny others.

Harold Hailing, Margaret Btcrrltt, Pre-emptors' Maps VICTORIA, B. C, April 30.—The Surveys branch of tho Department of Lands have issued the first maps of a new series of ten pre-emptors maps embracing in a comprehensive way the greater part of the interior of the province. The publication of rhese pre-empt or'a mans which ,* was commenced by the Depaitment of Lunds in 1911 when four maps were issued for the purpose of showing in tending settlers the areas surveyed | and distinguishing between the land available for pre-emption and those alienated. Tne four maps issued tbat year covered 12,000 square miles. The great advance made in the work of the Survey Branch is evidenced by the fact that the ten maps being issued this year will cover over 100,- 000 square miles and the majority of these maps will be available to tbe public by the middle of June. The two maps which are now complete are those dealing with lands in the vicinity of Fort George and tbe .South Fork of the Fraser where on June 1st and 16th, an area of 8fr,0Q0 acres in the reserve on either side of the Fraser river along the route of the Orand Trunk Pacific railroad Will be opened to settlement, the eastern part at McBride on June 1st, and the western part at Fort Oeorge on June 15th. A pamphlet hns been i«- Riied by the Department of Lnnds, describing the. district. The prc-emptor's maps, in thoir first year of publication, us stated' covered but. 12,000 square miles. The following year 40,000 Bciunro miles were covered; last year the area em braced totalled Si),Hliu and this yenr tho extent of territory embraced in these map" i« Ull),000 square miles. When tho publication of tho maps were commenced In lOll the information available did not warrant any thing better than a rough map solely intended for the coiiveuiMici' of land-seekers, and, while this hns been the prime object kept in view in the annual publication of the*? useful maps, the increase in knowledge of the geographical features of the country ar Islllg from tbe extension of surviys in advance of settlement has enabled a great advance to be made, aud these maps today, while filling the purpose for wblcb tbey were intended, are also good : general utility mnpH. ' A now font uro appearing oh tho pre-emptor's maps for the lirst time tliitt year, is the showing lu a distinct color tho lands reserved Ior university purposes, and lands reserved for public auction. All of the pie em pi or's Her Ies are distributed to the public free of charge and nre Kent in quantities for this purpose to tlio oflices of the various (lovern- , meul. Agents throughout the province, FIT-REFORM OF course, every man does not care to pay (25, $30 or $35, for his Spring Suit. But those who desire something really exceptional, both in iiyle and design, we ask to see the new Fit-Reform Spring Suits at $25, $28, $30, $32 and $35. We have Spring Suits as low as $15. «5> f fit-% McCreery Bros. fa REFOKMjjf Cranbrook, B.

A paper on "Provision fur Futuro Rapid Transit: Subway, Elevated or open Cut ami their influence on the City I'lnn" will be delivered hy J. V. Davies, Consulting Engineer, Brooklyn Rapiil Transit Company, and will bc followed by another paperon "Rapid Transit and tho Auto Uub" by John A. McCollum, Assistant Engineer, Hoard of Apportionment, New York City. The positions that theBe mon .occupy arc a guarantee that thoy aro well qualified to speak on transit, problems, nnd their addresses will be a waited with much interest by those concerned with mini Ictpal affairs. The transit problems of the present dny have beon mad" difficult by shortsighted clty-plaunlng in the past. How frequently do wo sec towns whose central, business streets art* narrow nnd congested, while the (ntlying residential sections have roadways that are broad and spacious! How universal in our larger cities is the mechanical rule-of- thumb lay-out of streets in checkerboard array, disregarding topography and natural routes of travel ! The people of a generation ago can hardly be blamed for not foreseeing the tremendous development of elcc- tris traction and automobile traffic that has taken plane in the last quarter of a century, but we of today are very stupid to yo on planning our new cities on tho model of the old. The building of skyscrapers is adding io the congestion in tht' centres of our cities and multiplying our traffic problems in the same ratio that it increases the population on a given area, Jn connection with transit facilities, civic, foresight must take heed of the franchises, contracts, and vest nd rights which public utility companies may he suffered to acquire. A franchise may confer a monopoly, but this monopoly should be carefully controlled. Only too seldom ure public rights properly safeguarded when granting privileges to large companies. The cities are not alone to blame. For example, legislatures may confer charters upon lailway companies giving tbem the right to locate their lines where they please and perhaps tt) destroy the most carefully considered city plan because they are not amenable to municipal coat iol. A similar observation applies to telephone and telegraph companies. The whole nuestion of the granting oi franchises and of the protection of public interests in relation thereto is a question tlmt urgently requires the thoughtful attention of our public men, T. E.

Dear Sir; In a recent speech before tbe business men of Spokane, Professor T. D. Shaw, Agriculturalist of the Gt. Northern Railroad, recommended the sowing of a mixture of Mammoth clover, winter vetch, alfalfa, timothy etc., on bare ground, Some of the seeds are bound to come up and when they mature, will scatter and catch elsewhere. Would this not be an excellent idea to those who own cut-over lands and are desirous of selling them for agricultural lands? It would help to give intending purchasers en idea of what the soil would do, and the suggestion is made for what it is worth. Yours truly, M. A. Beale.
