One of the best collection of roses to be seen in Enderby is that at thc station home of Agent Burnham. The C. P. R. station building at Enderby may not be the finest in seekers. The Press staff this week begs to thank Mrs. F. H. Barnes and Station Agent Barnum for beautiful bouquets of mosl perfect roses. While many gardens were badly torn to recent hailstorm, recovery has been rapid, and the warm days of the present week have worked magic with the flowers. Mr. N. H. Kenny has furnished us with a comparative- record of the rainfall for the month of May, 1914 and 1915. In 1914 the total precipitation 4or the" month was 1.12 inches, and in 1915, 2.88 inches. Last year we had 16 clear days in May, 12 part clear and 3 cloudy; this year wc had 7 clear days, 17 part clear ancl 7 cloudy. From the. 1st to the 20th of June this year there was a rainfall of 3.81 inches.

Whether anything will come of this, from the standpoint of a possible entry of Sir Richard inlo the federal realm, remains to* be seen.

He thinks where one German emigrated then five are likely to do so at the close ot* the war, but they "will not go to the United States, as there are no lit lands open to them there. They, and numbers of emigrants of other European nationalities and of thc United Kingdom,.will -make their way to Canada and South America. In regard to, lhe prospect of land values in Canada, Mr. Curwood says, "they must increase, and from now on they will .increase through steady growth and development." Hc considers thai a great deal of property had been over-sold and lhal certain places had consequently suH'crcd but he did not think this over-selling is so serious as some people believe, who forget lhat "every cily that ever became a city had to pass through ils period of boom days." Strenuous efforts arc being ihade throughout the Dominion to encourage lhe production of all com modi tics for which special demand may be expected. The immediate prospects appear, therefore, to be most favorable. Thc purchasing power of thc fanners is largely increasing, and the appeal of the Dominion and Provincial Governments to put more acreage under cultivation- has met with a ready response. THE ELEVENTH MONTH A S P-.ECJ A L FLOUR SALE of the following brands: YARSITY, CENTENNIAL, HUNGARIAN, STRONG BAKER'S JUNE 24, 1915 THE WEATHER AND SILOS Perhaps in lhe memory of the "oldest inhabitant" there never has been so much wet weather in May and June as wc have experienced this year. Perhaps it will never be so wet again. Perhaps���������������������������but what's the use. The main trouble, we think, which has caused lhe partial loss of so much of lhe early hay crop, lies in thc fact that lhc season'was* fully three weeks in advance of lhc ordinary year, hence lhe early alfalfa crop ���������������������������was ready lo cul just when the la le spring rains were full upon us. Be this as it may, there are ��������������������������� few'farmers, who do not realize to their sorrow lhal the loss to'their early hay crop will be very heavy owing to the unusual amount of moisture in the months of May and June. Bul, at the same time il is -admitted thai every year or I wo, similar condilions, though perhaps' less severe, catch a great deal of thc early alfalfa crop in lhis seclion. For this reason many do nol care to take the risk in alfalfa growing, preferring to slick to timothy. However, there are those who recognize lhc superior yield and food qualities of alfalfa over timothy, and insist upon growing it inspile of thc fact that the weather is so unsteady in the early part of June, when thc first crop is ready to cut. They arc convinced, however, that there is a better way to handle alfalfa than lo depend entirely upon lhc weather, and many are discussing lhe advisability of creeling solis on their, farms to take care of thc early crop. There would Ihen be no loss, no matter how unsettled lhc weather may be, for the "fi rsTcul" coii lc rifcTsi 1 oetlTflrjttvalFCi intnTl^wdn Id" nol have to be left in the field after being cut nor left standing weeks aflcr it should be cut awaiting.favorable weather.. Every dairy expert, visiting thc Valley from the Agricullural Department in'the'interest of agriculture for lhc past Ihrcc or'four ycars has insisted upon lhis one fact: lhat our farmers..in the dairy business, even on a small scale, could -ne-vvr���������������������������i^acdir4he-'"niaxiniuni-of---siiccevSS--witlioul silos, and Ihey have urged repeatedly thai a silo be erected in the dislrict lo demonstrate its'importance. Lillle nllcnlion has been paid to these urgings and suggestions. Many are this year wishing they had laken these experts more seriously and had gone inlo the mailer.of silo a year or Iwo ago. If lhe losses sustained lhis season by our alfalfa men induce the erection of a silo or Iwo in lhe vicinity of Enderby, the lesson will have been well learned. EMIGRATION TO CANADA A well-known. American writer, Mr. J. 0. Cur- wood, has been making a study of conditions in the West of Canada in relation to the war. Me considers that the war may result in an era of j prosperity lo lhis counlry which has never been j known before, not an era of estate boom but of j development and growth lhat will mean practically a new Canada in the West. "For some! lime," he says, "Canada, if not really sick, has been on the eve of a serious kind of sickness, caused by lhe fact lhat her lown and city population ancl values had too greatly outrun her rural population and values." In Mr. Cm-wood's judgment, the signing of peace will lead to an immigration movement that will amaze lhe world. Aflcr the Franco-German war in 1870, 200,000 Germans settled in three of Ten months aflcr Great Britain declared war against Germany, the British public is just beginning to realize, what thoughtful observers have known for some time, that if the war is to be won by thc Allies it is mainly England's business; not only on the sea, but on land. Thus speaks thc New York Evening Post in its eleventh month summing up of thc European situation. Lloyd George's urgent appeal to the nation, it continues, is more panicky than the situation warrants, probably more disturbed than that statesman is at heart. But thc fervent Lloyd George rhetoric, coupled with the fact of Russian collapse in Galicia, must make it plain to the English nation how serious is thc problem that confronts it. Thc moral effect of the recapture of Przemysl is unmistakable when an English newspaper���������������������������even if it is lhc Daily Mail���������������������������can write thai "the contest if now stopped would be in favor of thc Austro German alliance.' This may or may not be true. Whal is certainly not true is the Mail's statement lhat 'this war is not a British war primarily, and our gallant ally across the Channel must always figure as the senior partner in the enterprise.' It is England whom Germany rcgiirds as her archenemy from thc beginning*,-" and it is England whom the facts in the war have now'made lhe leader in the fight. She has hitherto borne the brunt of the financial problems'.of the Allies, and she has won the war of the Allies on thc sea. She will now have to take over the heaviest part of the work, or surely asjieavy a part as France, on land. For, as the situation is today among thc Allies, the Russians have spent themselves for some lime to come, thc French have given prclt3 nearl}-* to. thc limit of Iheir powers, and from England' must come primarily the millions of troops to win th.e contest, if it is to be won at all. Once lhis fact is recognized, it is possible to estimate the full meaning of the Austro-Gcrman victory in Galicia. Important as its direct military results may prove to be to thc Teuton cause, the indirect results arc by.no means so serious for thc cause of the Allies as they appear to be. For, primarily, thc indirect effect must be to spur England to greater exertions, and, above all, to count upon herself. * * * The English have been learning, slowly, after the traditional fashion, but learning neverIhelcss. Long age =tlie-3,=-had--=leanncd=not-.to_.iindcEcstimatc=thc=_Gci!_- niiiii resources. Today England knows that there is such a thing as German resourcefulness, German wils, as one English writer puts it. * * * For what Germany is doing today is precisely opposite to whal she set out to do at the beginning of the war. Then thc aim was to settle France swiftly and deal with Russia at leisure. Today the purpose is to settle Russia swiftly and deal wilh lhc western Allies at leisure. Germany began byr a Hacking i h"llie WcsIimd standi ng on the defensive in lhe East. She is now hitting oul in the East and "standing pat" in the West. Virtually, Germany has swapped horses while crossing lhe stream, a leal that argues brains as well as preparation. But aflcr giving to Germany all the.credit due for lhe military feats accomplished, which the bald facts will not pcrmil us to lose sight of, the Evening Post concludes with these words: "In Italy, as a mailer of fact, we find a fair index to what lhc actual outlook is in Europe today. Let il be recalled that Italy entered the war on May 20, when the full effects of thc German victory in Galicia were perceptible; that she left the Triple Alliance on May 4, some days aflcr Germany announced the shattering of thc Russian line in Galicia. Italy may have received her price from thc Allies, but what price could have induced her to go in on thc losing side? So today Rumania is bargaining wilh Russia; bul if the cause of the Allies were on lhc decline, would there be any bargaining a I all? The course pursued by Italy and lhe run of scnlimcnt in thc Balkans indicates lhal these nations, closer observers of events than we can possibly be, have pretty well made up their minds which way the ultimate decision'will incline."

The idea is a good one, but why have to be killed to get on ,thc honor roll? Why not post the names of all going to the front? It is not always the heroes who are killed. Strawberries: As compared with 1914 Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Nelson and Creston show increased production of 100, 59, 25 and 20 per cent, respectively, while Vancouver Island, the Lower .Mainland ancl Boundary points show decreases of 33, 50 and 15 per cent respectively. Okanagan points will have about the same as last year except in thc immediate vicinity of Enderby, where the hail storm of June 12th utterly destroyed the crop of many gardens. Celery: The area in celery has decreased from about 70 acres last year to 58 this year. Plantings of other vegetables arc reported slightly in excess, of last year, and are reported in good condition. Canneries Present indications are that few canneries will operate. This means there will be a large amount of fruit, previously used by the canneries ancl jam factories, to be disposed of through other channels.

In urging these ratepayers to make every effort lo pay up arrears before the end of June and thus make a delinquent tax sale unnecessary, the .Clerk said, in part: "Unless the liabilities of the cily ���������������������������which have been accumulating since the beginning of the year-arc met at an early date, the creditors arc certain to lake action in the courts; in which case the City o Enderby will be placed permanently on record as defaulting in regard to its financial obligations; and Jhis _will not.only, damagoJhc_ credit of the City as a corporation, for years fo come, but will also impair land values, ancl, generally, militate against the interests of members of the corporation (i- c. the property owners) individually, and against the interests of all who are in any way concerned in the prosperity and progress of the town."

A clear and concise presentation of conditions as they exist is of extreme importance lo every community. To attempt lo hide uncomfortable facts only makes matters worse. In a recent issue of System, that excellent magazine of business, llie manager of a large railroad is quoted as saying: "The country grocer has an advantage over us railroad men, because he has a neighborly wav of telling his customers about his busi- ness.

SUNSHINE SERMONS Cheerful Guidance to a Happier. Healthier Life By the Philosopher-Physician GEORGE F. BUTLER, A. M., M. D. All know that emanations are constantly passing from the body, Its Impurities, Its dead and waste matter, which nature has no use for, and which she Is constantly endeavoring to cast off by the pores of the skin. The average number of these for each square Inch of the body Is estimated to be two thousand five hundred, or seven millions In all, making, if Joined together, a canal twenty-eight miles long, which conducts from the system every twenty-four hours, In a state of sensible perspiration, or water called "sweat," or Insensible perspiration,, called "vapor," three pounds and a half from one person In the ordinary occupations of life, and much more In extraordinary callings. The Insensible perspiration from a sleeper during the night, Is of Itself enough to taint the atmosphere of a whole room; and It Is the breathing and rebreath- Ing of an atmosphere thus contaminated which make* the night the time of attack of the great majority of violent human ailments; It Is this which Area the train of Impending disease and which might have been deferred, If not entirely warded off, if the sleeper* and the bed chamber had been clean. In addition to the excretion of un-- clean or poisonous waste matter from the body, there may be deposited on the hands and: other portions of the body disease germs which may endanger health. It is necessary to health to keep the skin clean byV a dally bath. It Is unnecessary to use soap every time, save on; exposed parts of "the' ybody.- "Clean out, clean up and keep clean."

Thc condition outlined in your letter is not peculiar to Enderby, but is common to several of the nVuni- cipalitics in thc Province. Similar requests to that submitted by you have been made to the Government, but none of these has been acceded to, as the'Government cannot see their way to assume the liabilities of the municipalities. Thc Executive has no doubt that the procedure outlined by you as to thc vigorous means to be adopted in'thc collection of thc taxes, with Ihe receipts from the tax sale, and the money saved by your retrenchment, will enable the city to meet the existing conditions.

In thc first place, if his Butter wrappers are neatly printed with his name ancl tbe brand of the butter on thc label, the storekeepers can readily sell thc butter at 5c a pound more than hc can get for butter wrapped in paper that is not printed, and the butter-maker gets the advantage in 5c a pound more for his butter from thc merchant. ' It is the duty of every butter maker to comply with the law in this ma Iter. Some butter makers have only a cow or two, and make so little butter that it docs not appear to them that .they can afford to have their butter wraps printed. They do not like the idea of having 500 or 1000 butter wraps on hand. To accommodate this class of butter makers, Tlie Press has printed up a quantity of "Custom" Butter Wraps. They arc printed with the words "Fresh Dairy Butter" but do not bear the name of thc maker.

J. L CRANE AREAS SOWN TO WHEAT Wheat is estimated to occupy this year a total area of 12,806,000 acres, which is more by 1,002,500 acres, or 14.8 p.c, than the area sown in Canada for 1914, and more by 2,(502,100 acres, or 25 p.c, than thc area harvested in 1014, thc area sown last" year having been reduced by 930,000 acres, the estimated aggregate of total failures through lhc winter-killing of fall wheat (211,500 acres) and through drought affecting spring wheat (728,100 acres). Not only is the wheal area this year, under the double stimulus of patriotic impulse and high prices, 25 p.c in excess of last year's harvested area but it is also Ihe largest area ever sown to wheal in Canada. As previously reported the area to hc harvested of fall sown wheat is 1,208,700 acres, the balance of 11,- 087,300 acres having been sown this spring. Whilst every Province shows an increase in the wheat area il is the three Northwest provinces which preponderate in the nalional effort to produce more wheal. The total area sown to wheat in these provinces is 11,- 059,700 acres, an increase over last year's harvested area of 2,324,300 acres, or 25 p.c.

These vacant lots are often nothing more nor less than nurseries and breeding places for all kinds of weeds. This is especially true of towns where large areas adjoining have been subject to wild-cat subdivisioning and have roadways ploughed, forming lodging places for weeds which arc allowed to grow unmolested. These produce countless numbers of seeds, to be blown and scattered by the winds over thc farms. So far, bulletins, articles and advice pertaining to weed control have been directed to farmers. A glance al the conditions found in mosl of our cities and towns will prove convincing that the farmer is not entirely to blame in thc matter of weed seed production and distribution. In the West the weed inspectors are being trained and instructed along lines that will enable him to assist the farmers in weed control, while at the same time provision by law is made to prevent any farmer from allowing liis farm to become a breeding place for weeds and a menace.to his neighbors. In most towns there are by-laws covering the weed problem, but too often they are not enforced. Those living in towns and cities should certainly co-operate and do their bit in the war against weeds. This is an important matter and should receive strict attention by every town council. - In this connection, thc City of Enderby has not been backward, thev. streets being t kept fairly clean. '.But owners of vacant, lots have not ;been held to strict account as they should be.
