BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

Mining News ; * An operating plant will be installed at theChu Chua coal mine,- near Kamloops; and active pTo- duction will be started at^the earliest possible moment. - �� ��� The Mandy mine, of Le Pas, Man., i8 a eteader Bhipper to the Trail smelter. During the period July 7 to 14, this mine.was crecli^ ed with 822 tons at Trail. A strike of silver-lead ore was recently made on Silver King mine in the Toby Creek district of East Kootenay. The ledge is about 80 feet wide and runs about $100 to the ton in values. opera- in As there are more mines ting around Greenwood than any year in its history and a higher grade of ore being shipped, The Ledge is sorry that -the Province reporter with the Vancouver Board of Trade had not time to acquaint himself with these facts before writing tbat rather uncomplimentary article aboufe this city. The Trail smelter- received 35 tons of ore from, the Providence mine Greenwood daring the second week of this -month.- This- brings the ore receipts for the year up to 530 tons. Morrison and Mc- Gillis are in charge and about 40 men are employed. High grade ore is mined from every level and the finest free silver ore that has ever been taken out of a mine in British Columbia, is coming from this property." The new compressor is no# on the ground and ready to be installed at fehe Bell mine by the owners Mcintosh and Crane. This new system will do away with the hand drills and machine drills wilf replace them. The ore which has been hauled 60 the railway in wagons by horses will in fcture be taken by a 2J_ton track, which was recently purchased for that purpose. This property is a steady shipper to Trail and a recent carload- gave returns of over 400 ounces of silver to the ton. The wires of the South Kootenay Power company reached Keremeos from Greenwood last week. In a couple of months the wire will reach Allenby. Three-Oregon militiamen were killed and four injured at Camp Lewis, Wash., when a six inch rifle bnrst on the artillery target range near camp. Hon. Martin Burrell, the member for this riding, Yale, has retired from public life. He^will become librarian of the Dominion Parliament. In Mr. Burrell's retirement; this riding may see an election within the next few months. Two cows of a farmer living near Durham, were pronounced I'beaBtly drunk" by a veterinarian surgeon. A search for the cause led to the discovery of a big moonshine sfeill in a secluded corner of the pasture. The cows had eaten a quantity of the mash used by the ilioife whiskey manufacturers. An old log cabin, a landmark at Osoyoos^ was recently J>umed_to the ground. The cabin was built upwards of 20 years ago by Paul Kruger, an old settler of that locality, who held the position of customs officer io thafe section for many yearsr "The contractors who are building a road from Osoyoos over Anarchist mountain had $1500 worth of tools and sup- plies stored in the cabin, all of which was a total loss. The government office will be moved from Fairview feo the new townsite which has been located on the soldier settlement lands south of Vasseaux Lake. The town is to be a model one, provision being made for parks.'.athletic grounds, chnrch>nd school sites, trackage and warehouses. A name will be selected for the town by means of a prize contest. The Evening Star near Slocan City will -Be thoroughly developed this year. After the mine is un- water work will commence. This is a dry silver property and Winnipeg people are interested in it. A thorough test of the oil seepages of the Kamloops district will be made. A drill is now' being in- - stalled. Wm. McKenzie an experienced drill man, will be in charge of the work aqd the first drilling will be done near the Guerin house. The ore body struck on the eight level of the Rambler-Cariboo mine near Three Forks, several months ago, has improved under recent development. The ore disclosed at the outset was less than a foot in width. Operations were" interrupted by a strike of miners in the Slocan district^ of which Three Forks is a parfe. They were resumed by a party of young men who desired employment for a. short time. . . Mining is very active at Chesaw, Wash'.; a short distanceX from"'' Greenwood. About two carloads of ore is being shipped daily from , the Roosevelt mines on Copper mountain. Two trucks with trailers carrying seven tons each, haul the ore from the mine to the railway at Myncaster. The ore rans high in iron. The Grant mine is also on the shipping list and has four teams hauling ife to the railway. Seyeral other properties are being worked in that section. Mineral claims discovered 28 years ago about one mile from the head of Okanagan lake but aban- _ ddnedhave been" relocated by J. Hamil, of Armstrong, one of the \ former owners. It is stated that a ledge three feefe wide shows for a length of 600 feefe on the surface, that the ore runs over" 33 ounces of silver to the ton and 21 per cenfe lead, and that these values will -. yield a profit of over $50 per ton after paying all mining, feransporfea- and smelting charges. The discovery has induced a number of others feo stake claims, and a small mining boom would seem to be in sight, reminiscent of old days. The acreage sown to wheat, including fall wheat, in all Canada, is now estimated at 17,186,300 acres, > which compares with 19,- 295,968 acres, the final estimate for 1919, and represents a decrease of 10 per cent. ��,C=aC-^l Entrance Results A telegram from Victoria states four local candidates were successful in passing the Entrance examinations, held last month.

I can't cat anything. I haven't eaten anything worth while for years, as you well know." And he frowned at the grinning driver, who muttered:��� "Gracious alive! Is that very so?" "Uncle's health has been precarious ior a long time,', explained the girl. We're up here to woo it back for him; think wc can do it, Mr. Washburn?" Her laughing face grew grave as she put the question, and the pathos resting deep in her violet eyes must have iound an echoing chord in the old native's breast, for he answered heartily, "Oh, hell, yes"���and then quickly and apologetically���"You see, Miss, wc cure 'cm all up here in these highlands." Something like a smile fluttered across thc delicate facc of the man in the back seat; then a little pucker of a frown gathered between his brows. Noting it thc girl's facc grew grave. The driver leaning forward towards the old sorrels now, elbows on his knees. He missed, by hair's breadth, a rough boulder lying along the track, puckered up his lips, and then plunked a stream of tobacco juice on its slate face, sighed as though he had cecuted a difficult task satisfactorily, and, twisting about again, remarked: "If you don't get hungry upchere, you ain't never goin' to get hungry. That's all." "I scarcely expect to," said thc man from the city peevishly. "I haven't eaten a square meal or slept a good sleep for over a year. Ugh!" he shivered. "This silence up here is awful; it gets on one's nerves." He sank lower in his seat and the girl put an arm about his drooping shoulders. "The doctor said this forest country would fix you up as good as new, Uncle, she comforted. "You must give it a fair chance. You must try and forget that your nerves are frayed, and not think of business at all. I'm. going to see that you get real hungry, and I know you-will sleep like a baby up here in this clear bal- salm-filled air, won't he, Mr. Washburn?" ....':.'" : "..;"���-.'.'-. .The settler lifted his cpdnskin cap .and scratchcd:his red mop reflectively. ��� "This here, country is the da'rnd- e'st allrround country fer .permolin' the eatin'.an' slcepin' habit'you ever saw," he exclaimed.

Low dowii '- over, the distant tamaracks that edged a broad Jake the sun lay like a great ball of fire.

Her uncle, too, had caught the spirit of the place. To him also that Northern sunset was a revelation. About it was a grandeur, a beauty as fathomless as it was glorious. Together they gazed westward. ��� Far away swept the sparsely timbered upland rising fold upon fold until it melted into well-nigh impenetrable forest-reserve miles distant, - like a wisp of grey smoke in a sombre gold-lined cloud; for the sunset-lights were spraying the tree-tops of the great forest. For thc girl at least, the fatigues of a long railway journey and the bumpy drive from the distant station ovcr rocky, uneven road were forgotten, as she drank in this glorious panorama. Her artist's /soul rejoiced, and her fingers ached to dig brushes and colors from the big trunk strapped behind her, so that she might paint it all. But the desire passed quickly as she felt a shudder run through the frame of the man beside her, and heard his quick sigh of weariness. "A little Edna, a littic," he replied; then with a laugh, "do you know, girlie, I believe I am actually getting hungry?" At his words the lank form on the front scat straightened up, and Washburn faced . about, his blue eyes twinkling. "My ole woman she says to me as I was hitchin' Moll and Bess here to the democrat, says she, 'Pa Washburn, you get them people hum here come seven, 'cause I'm goin' to have a meal ready what is a meal. *I'm goin' to have ham and eggs an' pancakes and maple syrup,' says she.

"What you best do is to get some toast an' hot milk an' weak tea ready fer 'em,' says I. He took off his cap and waved it in the air, with a resounding whoop that awoke echoes far and wide. His infectious merriment caught his listeners. Thcy laughed with him\ "Say," grinned the settler, after the paroxym had passed. "Shc is sure a wonder, that ole woman of mine.

(To be .continued.")' .- Furs and Crops Crop Prospects in Alberta Alberta Issues Scmi-Monthly Crop and Livestock Report Conditions in Alberta in crop and livestock in mid-July are in line with the forecast of the early part of the month. Warm weather had set in at that time following a period of plentiful moisture. In contrast with the situation in the previous two weeks a suitable condition of fine warmth is prevalent throughout thc province but there has been no interruption of adequate showers of rain to keep the crop in an absolutely good condition. The driest area for the previous period was in the district north of Lethbridge. The whole of Southern Alberta received on July 4th a night's steady rainfall totalling in most places about two inches. This shower is onc of thc outstanding features of the past fortnight and has had the effect of levelling up and correcting somc of the inequalities of moisture distribution. Good rains havc fallen in the centre and north. The' Cutworm Trouble About Spent The grasshopper area has in creased since last report. The parts of thc province affected arc strips north, south and west of Lethbridge, points along thc MacLeod and Calgary line, particularly around High River, points along the C.P.R. for onc hundred miles east of Calgary and an outbreak at High Prairie. Hoppers have appeared at Monitor also. The extent of "damage is not great on the whole but has been sufficiently serious to' affect single farmers with considerable losses. There have been a few small areas visited by hail���the principal one being east of Macleod. The prospects for heavy crops "of hay, roots and garden products, are good. Potatoes were a littic slow in starting but during the past ten days have improved remarkably. Taking the province as a whole thc situation is better than it was two weeks ago by reason of the gain in growth through the accession of warm weather, and thc concurrence of rains. Livestock conditions are improving but the beef and stocker market does not look attractive to those farmers who have paid sixty dollars a head for feed to bring their stuff through the winter. There are despairing men and wo- 'men by ,the thousands in this city, whose stomachs keep them in con-) stant misery that can be quickly re-' stored to vigorous health by Dr. Hamilton's Pills.

(Experimental Farms Note). Once morc we arc entering upon the season of> the year -when the dairy farmer expects the greatest yield from his cows, and his pastures, and if thc season is right" the land will be fairly "flowing with milk'and honey." Unfortunately, however, the season is not always just as right as might be. Invariably in one section or another there is a drought with its consequent shortage of pasture and decrease in milk flow. It is important at this time that some forin of supplementary feed bc supplied, for if the milk flow is once allowed' to decline it is almost impossible to get it up to the previous high mark again. A littic extra feed at this time will produce more milk than will three times the amount fed aftcr the decline has taken place. Many will have profited by past experiences and have made preparation for the.shortage of pasture by sowing a piece of annual pasture or soiling crop. Others again may havc some of the previous year's crop' of "silage tos��alM.iack on.

Germany Does Not Give Much Indication of Keeping Faith With ) Allies The second subject taken up at the Spa conference does not require much time. Germany herself suggested the Leipzig tribunal for the trial of Germans accused of war crimes. This was a striking departure from the original idea that the perpetrators of outrages should be handed over to courts in Allied countries. France took less interest in the punishment of 'war criminals than she did in the matter of disarmament and reparation, but the British Premier made a strong point of it in the Paris conference and in his speeches in England. The Leipzig plan seemed to many an abandonment of the whole case, but it would at least show whether Germany of today approved the war methods of the Empire, and the former rulers and officers. In accordance with thc program Britain and France sent forward a list of accused persons including some officers in high command in the army and navy, certain subordinate officers, officials who had control in occupied districts in France and Belgium, and commanders of German prisons. Particulars seem to havc been furnished in at least forty cases. The German minister of justice states that none of the accused have been arrested. He gives various reasons, none of which seem tb be good, except that some of the alleged criminals are dead. No doubt it is true that somc have left the country, and no doubt others will follow if they are warned that the case is likely to be prosecuted seriously. Mr. Lloyd George with characteristic bluntness. remarked that the Germnas were breaking their word in regard to this Leipzig plan_proposcd by/themselves. Thc plausible and adroit foreign minister* replies with strong assurance which thc Allies pretend to accept. Wc-do not suppose that ^anybody expects these prosecutions to come to much, but the manner in which thcy are. conducted or abandoned will be an excellent test of thc present- day faith of Germany.���Vancouver Province.

One Square Yard of Leaf Surface Purifies Great Amount of Air It has been calculated that-a single tree is able through its leaves to purify the (air from the carbonic acid arising from the respiration of a considerable number of men, perhaps a dozen, or even more. The volume of carbonic acid exhaled by a human being in the course of twenty-four hours is put at. about 100 gallons, but scientists estimate that a single square yard of leaf surface, counting both the upper and the under sides of, the leaves, can, under favorable circumstances, decompose at least a gallon of carbonic acid in a day. One hundred square yards of leaf surface then would suffice to keep the air pure for one man, but the leaves of a tree of moderate size present a surface of many hundred square yards. All other forms of vegetable life act similarly in abstracting thc noxious carbonic acid from the atmosphere. To Make Mexico Dry i Preparing Prohibitory Legislation for Presentation.

C. 5f Comment on Current Events The last week of June and the first few days of July were prolific in important changes in the political life of Canada, and in some respects these were but indicative of the unsettled state of politics generally throughout this and other countries. Union Government, which was brought into being through the efforts of Sir Robert Borden as'a? war administration late in 1917, having fulfilled its destiny, has passed away; Sir Robert Borden has laid down the responsibilities of the premiership, and- these have been placed on the younger shoulders of Hon. Arthur jMciglien, who is not only thc youngest premier" Canada ever had, but also the "first man from west of the" Great Lakes to achieve that high office. His Government will be representative of the new political organization -which supercedes the Conservative and Unionist- parties in Federal politics and which has been named the National Liberal and Conservative Party. In .addition to Sir Robert Borden, Hon. N. W. Rowell and Hon. Martin'Burrcll retire from' the government; consequently thc first icst of the strength of the ncw administration with the public will come with thc election of thc ncw ministers to be chosen. A..second change of moment was the resignation of Sir, Lonier Gouin from the premiership of .Quebec, an office .-he has /held for., the p?..st .fifteen years,'and. a longer period than any of his predecessors. Sir Lomcr's retirement docs not mean any marked chafigc in the Quebec Government. Hc is leaving political lifc to engage in-the activities of business, commerce and finance, rr//d is succeeded in the premiership of Que/ bee by onc of his former cabinet coK leagues, Mr. Taschcrcau. Even jnore significant of prevaihng public opinion in Canada today was' - the result of the Manitoba Provincial elections which has created in the, oldest of the prairie provinces a situation somewhat similar to that existing in' Ontario. Of the four largest groups in the. next legislature,; ������Liberal, Farmer, Conservative, and Labor,���no one commands a clear majority in thc house. Followers of thc Norn's Government constitute the largest single group, with Labor secoud, Farmers third, and Conservative fourth, with few Independents in addition. Tlie Norris Government will carry on with thc support of certain of the Fanner and Independent members," while Labor will probably constitute thc official opposition party. The Manitoba elegrtions were also noteworthy by reason o.f the fact that - for -the -firsl- time in "Canada the~~sys- tcm of Proportional Representation was applied in a Parliamentary election, thc city of Winnipeg electing its ten representatives by that method. All parties seem agreed that it was a marked success ancl,gave general satisfaction. With ten members to bc elected out of a list of 41 candidates nominated, and with 48,000 ballots, cast, thc new system was given thc hardest test yet applied to it in any English-speaking country, and tlie successful outcome would seem tcrpoint to its early adoption throughout Canada. - "As indicating that there has been littic change in thc war-time sentiment of people on the question of New Brunswick referendum is of interest... Two .questions, .were submitted lo ihc electorate: (1) Whether thc -prohibition -laws .should .be retained,' importation -stopped,!"-and" a bone-dry-condition"- created, "or " (2). whether.- the -sale, of wines and: beer should be permitted.'"'-'By- a vote . of three- to-two, the ..people ^declared against the sale of;-wines and liquor, . and by! a .two-fp-bnc .vote- empliatic- . ally recorded - thtir-- .'preference :" for absolute-- prohibition .of thc traffic-"iit, intoxicants for beverage.purposes.-. essentially domestic.; policies of the United States, Canadians ivill follow with" keen interest the struggle for and against acceptance by fthe United States of a place in the/League of Nations and as a co-partnfcr with the other civilized peoples of( the world in maintaining the highest international ideals. -.;'���' U.S. Wants Western Beef Alberta Cattle are Sought After in i ' the United States In a recent address before the Stockmen's Protective association of Western; Canada, Mr. C. A. Dunbar, of Chicago, .laid special emphasis on the fact ; of the esteem -in which Western, Canadian cattle were.held in -the United States. He pointed out that for thei purpose of' immediate slaughter grass-fed cattle do not command as high a pricc as grain fed, neither do animals that have been shipped long distances sell as well as those originating from points closer in. For these reasons grass-fat cattle Alberta cannot hope to sell in Chicago , he staled, on a par with grain fed animals from Iowa and Illinois. As compared, however, with American grass fat cattle shipped an equal distance, the Alberta product ranks amongst the best. It is as feeders, stated Mr. Dunbar, that Canadian cattle arc sought after. One Great Esseqtial ��� To a Woman's Health Is Her Nerves Nature intended women''' to be strong, healthy and happy as the day is long, instead bf "being 'sick and wretched. But how can any woman bc healthy and happy when the whole nervous system is unstrung. The trouble is.they pay more attention to their social and household duties than they do to their health. Is it any wonder then that they become irritable and nervous, have .hot flushes, faint and dizzy spells, smothering and sinking spells, become weak and nervous, and everything in life becomes dark and gloomy. '' Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills' are the vcry remedy that nervous, tired- out, weary women -need to restore them to the blessings of good health. Mrs. P. H. Ryan, Sand Point, N.S., writes: "I have-been a great sufferer from nerve troubles." I was so weak and nervous I could not sleep .at night and my appetite "was,-very poor. T could not Avalk across the floor without trembling. I had hot flushes and fainting, spells. When 1 was on my second box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills I began to feel better and kept on until' I had used six boxesf when 1 felt like a different-person. I am never without them in the house and recommend thcm to all who suffer- with their nerves." ��� i__ Price SOc a box at jdl dealers or 'mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.

Pulp Mill for Port Arthur Provincial Paper Mills Will Spend a Million and a Half on Undertaking. Port Arthur will be the scene of important developments in "paper manufacture when the plans are completed of the Provincial Paper Mills, Limited, Toronto, who have just been incorporated. About $1,500,000 is estimated to be the amount to be spent'-in Port Arthur. The plant, whicli occupies 140 acres in the city of Port Arthur, has turned, out about $2,000,000 of sulphite, which has been sold in the United States, chiefly in Wisconsin "arid Minnesota. It is now intended to complete the product into paper on this, side, with a mill to turn out forty; tons a day. With the expenditure of $500,000 on the : mill, absorbed by the new company, these productions will be increased. " Has Expanded Since Countries 1 Reached High State of _ Civilization. The combined national debt of the United States, Great Britain, France> Italy and. Germany, according to recent estimates by the Bankers. Trust , Company, of New "��ork, approximates the vast sum of $178,000,000,000. Germany heads the list with a debt of $50,000,000,000. The others follow in this order: France $46,000,000,000, Great Britain $39,000,000,000, United States - $25,- 000,000,000, and Italy $18,000,000,000. National debt is built up chiefly by warfare, yet. paradoxically, as these countries . have reached a higher, state of civilization, their national debt has expanded enormously. A study of "English Public Finance," issued by . the Bankers Trust Company, traces thc origin of national debt. It shows that prior to 1688 the national debt, as an institution, was unknown in England and probably elsewhere.

The big stock of wool Belongs now to some 10,000 individual farmers, and that number will increase to about 15,000 'taken into; the pool by thc bureau,from about 170 local'as- sembling points .where, the wool is stored, sacked and shipped-in car lots to Lansing.

'���' Huge Cypress Tree Said To Be 5,000 ' Years Old A huge cypress tree in a churchyard near Santa Maria del Tule, in Southern Mexico, according to scientists, is the oldest .living thing in the world, being between 5,000 and 6,000 years old.. This age is based on the gigantic bole of the' tree' and the slow growth .of the species. The figures mean that when the! seed' from which the tree sprang fell upon the earth King Menes was holding the first reign in Egypt of which we have an historic knowledge, 3,000' years beforc the birth of Christ. Humboldt discovered the tree- more than 100 years ago. He nailed to the tree a wooden tablet containing his autograph and, although it is now partly hidden by thc subsequent growth, the autograph is still legible.

This would have rejoiced the heart of many, but David was sad. Instead of reward being given to the slayei of Saul, quick' vengeance was executed upon him. I. David Made King Over Judah (2:1-4). He knew full well that the Lord by the hand of Samuel had anointed him to be the successor of Saul. He had learned the essential lesson which the School of Providence was designed to teach, namely, that the position now open to him* was no easy one to fill. His exile and sufferings, gave him self-control. He had the good sense to know that promotion "to the throne did but bring "harder s duties and multiplied perplexities." He tlirew himself upon God and asked for guidance. He rendered instant obedience to the Lord's answer. If we are to enjoy God's fellowship and blessing we must render quick obedience. He made a right beginning, therefore God prospered ' him. When he reached Hebron the men of Judah came and, anointed him king over thcm. Thus a part of the nation recognized him as king and ratified the work-which Samuel did many years before. When David went up he took with him all who had been with him in exile and suffering. They are now sharers with him in the kingdom. - When David's great son, Christ, shall enter upon his glorious reign, those who Jiave been faithful to him in his rejection shall reign with him. "If we suffer we shall also reign,with hirh.' (II Tim. 2:12); '.'To him that overcometh will I grant to. sit with me in my throne, even as I also erercame, and am set down with my fathgr in-his throne." (Rev. 3:21), II. David's Behavior Toward the ��� Men of Jabcsh-Gilead (2:4-7). The men of Jabesh owed- much to Saul (I Sam. Tl),'and they showed this recognition of debt by making'a" daring dash to rescue his body from the ignominious exposure at Bethlehem. David's; act of sending "men to Jabesh with a_ message of good, will for thcir affectionate remembrance of Saul is ari exhibition of his noble generosity. His lovc for the unfortunate king survived all the injuries which he suffered at his hands. He forgave and forgot them all." This was an act of political shrewdness as well as a generous one. In'fact the only policy which-proves effective is that which proceeds from a generous heart. ' He deftly follows this generous commendation with a solicitude for the, men of Jabesh lo transfer - ..their . loyalty t.o himself, :yncc "he is" now their legal king. Since Saul is now dead, he " urges them to be valiant for him. Iri view of-the'civil war whicli was to follow j he kricw -it would require valiant men to -stand by God's king. This appeal to. be-valiant "is needed now,' for wc arc'- all called upon to take sides between God's appointed king,' Jesus Christ, aiid Satan, the.pretender to the throne.

To do this the scientist, merely coated the inside of a shallow box with sloping pieces of looking glass so as "to form a concave lens, put his farthing dip into the box and readily deciphered the small print at the stipulated distance. The experiment was witnessed by a Liverpool dockmaster. He was a thinking man and sa>v great possibilities in this learned jest. He straightway adapted the principle to lighthouse requirements and' forthwith the modern reflected light with its mile of range and greatly muti- plied life-saving powers sprang into being. Overcrowding the Earth Estimated That In 173 Years From Now Maximum Population Will Be Reached. According to the statistics, the population of the world cannot go on indefinitely at the present .rate. It has been estiihated that if it does, then we . are near the end of our tether. In about 170 years from now the maximum population that the earth can support will" be reached! The only country at the present tiriie that is reasonably living within its assets of land is France, for to double her population requires .433 years. If tlie present rate of increase of the^populataion of the world is maintained (supposing such a, thing possible), then in 2,000 years' from now the population would be twenty-five times greater than it is now. Minard's Liniment Relieves Colds, etc Soil Cultivation Results of System of Cultural Experiment^ Carried on at Ex- I^rimental Farm A comprehensive system of cultural experiments has been carried on at the experimental farm in the west for a number of years and the results obtained indicate the best practices for the districts which are similar as regards rainfall, soil conditions,' etc., to the farm on which the experiments Avere conducted. The results on whicli this article is based we're obtained on the experi-' mental farm at Indian Head, Sask., and the conclusions arrived at are applicable to.districts similar to it. The best depth of plowing sum- merfallow has been found to ; be from six to eight inches, with comparatively little grain in yield in the wheat crop from any deeper plowing. Subsoiling did not increase the yieldy\>i wheat but'in the following crop of oats the subsoiling increased the yield from six to ten bushels per.acre. It should be noted, however, that the subsoil was not ���brought to the surface but merely stirred up and that the wheat stubble was plowed' .five inches *nd not subsoiled. ��� . - '' The plowing of summerfallow should be done early in June as there is a decrease in yield and'an increase in weeds if it is left until later. Two plowings of summer- fallow are not necessary and should not 'be practiced unless for -some special purpose, such as thc killing of perennial weeds like couch grass which may have infested the land. The growing of pasture crops such as rape, on the summerfallow, particularly where the rows were close together, caused a considerable decrease .in the wheat crop and also in the crop of oats whicli followed. Fall plowing previous to . summer- fallo.wing did not give, sufficient^' increased-returns to pay for the labor, but fall cultivation did. The main points brought our by this, experiment 'have ;been" that on the ' average fall ��� plowing ' that is packed-gives the best- returns in .growing'wheat while with" oats the ground should be cultivated in thc fall ancl plowed in the spring. Best results in' securing a catch of hay-.- have been, obtained by seeding .down'without a nurse crop in every case and also, where , -seeding ^vas doucreitlfcrToil summerfallow or following a crop of. corn. It should bc noted, however, that, the increase in hay was not .enough to compensate fo.i; the. loss of a" crop of grain where the. seeding, down followed summcr- fallojv or corn. In districts-of fair rainfall .'therefore,'��� a nurse crop should .beallowed to ripen" rather than' to ..be, cut green. The best method of -breaking up _lliCi;'s.0il'.of. xultivatcd ga.sses and cloves ;is-to plow immediately aftcr taking off tlic hay'"" crop,'-"pack and work as. a summerfallow for thr balance :;of the season".."'.-',.. .-.-;���; '.Thc-growiiig-'of a;crop and plowing-it -under,'iis. _a green manure, has not been found-to he -a success, being;much. too.^costly and not giving ns" good' results' as' a; good -summer- To Further Lignite Project Additional Grant of $200,000 Made to Saskatchewan Briquetting - Plant. To meet the increased cost.of construction of the lignite briquetting plant an additional appropriation of $200,000 has been thadc, This makes ��� the total vote for the plant $600,000. Of the additional: vote, $.100,000 is being provided by the. federal government, the governments of Saskatchewan and.Manitoba dividing; the other $100,000 between them. This is the same ratio as the original vote. The lignite utilization board has found it impossible to complete the project on the originaFgrant of $400,- 000. A recent estimate shows the ^total cost will be about $600,000, exclusive of housing. In order to compare these prices with the. original estimate of $400,000,. the board ma;dc a careful enquiry into the price of the present contemplated plant had it been erected in" 1917, the date ��� at which the original research council report was prepared. The result AVas a total estimate of $390,000, which shows that the present designs arc" no more elaborate than were contemplated originally. The Hon. Arthur Meiglicn agreed that the federal government would contribute another $100,000 on condition that Manitoba and Saskatchewan would each contribute a further $50,000. The question has been taken up by Mr. Meighen with the two provincial governments and so far as Saskatchewan is concerned, the addi- 1~ tional appropriation will be inet. - CONSTIPATED - CHILDREN Children who. suffer from constipation, indigestion or any of the other ailments due to a clogged condition of the bowels will find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own Tablets.
