THE STAWORD WORLD V a. WESTERN CANADA'S CROPS Got an Excellent Start. Big Yields Now Assured. Never In the history of Western Canada did the seed , enter the ground under more favorable conditious. The weather during the month of April was perfect for seeding operations, and from early morning until late at night the seeders were at work, and every acre that could be profitably sown was placed under requisition. Farmers entered heart and soul into the campaign of greater production. There was the time and the opportu- nity for careful preparation, and as a consequence with favorable weather from now on there will be a vastly in- creased yield. Tiry realized it was a duty they owed to humanity to produce all that they could on the land, not only this yene,but next as well. In addition to the patriotic aspect, they are aware that the more they produce the greater will he their own return In dollars and cents. in many districts wheat seeding was completed by the 1st of May, after which date- oats and barley on larger acreages than usual Were planted. As has been said, favorable weather conditions made possible excellent seed -bed preparation, and the seed has gone Into the ground in unusually good shape. The available moisture in the soil has been added to by rains, which have not been so heavy, however, as to Interfere long with the work in the fields. The grain is germinating read- ily, and on many fields the young green blades of the cereal are already show- ing. An optimistic feeling prevalL among farmers that Western Canada will reap record harvest. If the season from now on is as favorable as It has °begun, these hopes should be realized. Mr. J. D. McGregor of the Federal Food Board, who is also an old and success - I iii In Western Canada, assert- ed a few days ago at Calgary that crop conditions throughout the Prairie Provinces were excellent. \Speaking generally,\ he said. \the crops have never gone itito the ground in better shape than this year, and With an even break of luck as far as the weath- er Is cOncerned, there should/ be an enormous crop.\ His present duties in connection with the Food Control Board, taking him in all parts of the West, Mr. McGregor has exceptional opportunities of Aserving conditions all over tho country.—Advertisement.

THIS WEAK, NERVOUS MOTHER Tells How Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health. Philadelphia, Pa.—\I was very week, always tired, my back ached, and I felt sickly most of the time. I went to a doctor and he said I had nervous indi- gestion, which ad- ded to my weak condition kept me worrying most of the time—and he said if I could not stop that, I could not get well. I heard so much about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound my husband wanted me to try it. I took it fora week and felt a little bet- ter. I kept it up for three months, and I feel fine and can eat anything now without di Stress or nervousness. \—Mr.. J. WORTTILINE, 2842 North Taylor St., Philadelphia Pa. The majority of mothers nowadays overdo, there are so many demands upon their time and strength; the result is invariably a weakengd, run-down, nervous condition with headaches, back- ache, irritability and depression— and soon more serious ailments develop. It is at such periods in life that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will restore a normal healthy condition, as it did to Sirs. Wort/tittle. PATENTS gt lf:t w 7 e . r. (4 a 1111 S 1. t 1 : D.C.

WEEDS SOMETIMES USEFUL IN ADDING . ORGANIC MATTER AND PREVENT EROSION A I. •f.„ t.r ' 3 Land Turned Out to \Rest\ and Grown Up to Sassafras Bushes and Weeds. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agrlenitur, Weeds are not always useless. Sometimes they are the principal means by which organic matter is restored to the soil, and, generally speaking, a soil is productive in proportion to , the quantity of organic matter it contains. In many parts of this country It is customnry to farm hind until the crops are too poor to be profitable and then \turn it out to rest.\ We merely means that weeds are permitted to grow on it for severall years; after that the soil will be more productive. Weeds are also useful at times in preventing soil erosion, especially during the winter months. NVeeds are further useful in collecting and holding the nitrates and other soluble salts during periods when crops are not being grown, thus preventing these valuable nutrients front being wnsbed out of the soil. Ordinarily, however, all these benefits may be realized through proper rotations, in which case it is a serious mistake to let weeds grow. HELP PRODUCE FOOD TO FEED SOLDIERS Town Man Qualified for Farm Work Should Offer Services. Many Communities Throughout United States Must Depend on Volun- teers for Heavy Seasonal Needs—It la War Job. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) If you are a town man qualified for farm work in your minty during the rush period* of. pinnting, -cultivation and harvest, and If you hesitate to offer for such service because It will be Inconvenient and difficult and be- cause you will earn less money for that short period of farm work titan you would have earned in town dur- ing the sante time—if this is the case you have failed to grasp either the seriousness Of the present peril to civilization or the importance of the nersonal responsibility resting upon you, and every individual. If you are a filmier in need 'of ex- tra help, without which your food pro- duction will be diminished, and If you are reluctant to use emergency town volunteers you also have not seen the peril—have not heard the call that has inspired other men to give their lives. The higher wage inducements of city industries and plants producing war materials have drawn many workers front the farms during the last year or two. As a consequence most com- munities all over the United States must depend upon local emergency supplies* of farm labor for theft: heavy seasonal needs. Plans have already been put into effect In a great many sections whereby sufficient town vol- unteers have been secured to supply the need of the adjacent farm terri- tory during the busy periods. • Of course this is hard work. Of course, In most cases, It means some 'financial snerifice upon the part of the town man, and some annoyance to the farmer who would prefer permanent, skilled help. But you are called to that service! It Is just n situation that must be met. Suppose soldiers hesitated to do things that are hard and difficult and annoying! Suppose men wouldn't go into the army unless they profited financially! If Ameri- can men had taken that attitude e'er - many would already have crushed the defenders. of civilization, and you would now be concerned about the safety of your wife nnd chiffiren.—not your convenience find your Money! The last .two would certainly be token from. you with a Hun victory—and the Hun will win If soldiers ever hesitate, as some civilians have hesitated to do the difficult, the unpleasant, the finan- cially unprofitable thing( It Is your war job to work on farms In your county, when and where your services nre needed to produce and harvest food crops, war -winning crops. It is the farmer's war job to use Stich help to the utmost advantage. Our soldiers are gloriously doing their war job over there. The most you can do is infinitely small, by comparison with what they do. Do farms in your county need help? Then think of the boys from your town, going over the top- under shell fire today—and go to Work to help feed them! Best Soh For Soy Beans. Any land that will grow corn will grow soy beans. It is often reenne Mended that these two crops be grown Ohtl hoggetl down together. LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL • Necessary Food Furnished for Plants and Is Great Aid In Speeding Up Many Crops. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) While lime Is not usually listed among the commercial fertilizers, It furnishes a necessney food for plants and when properly used is a great aid in :tweeting up the production of many crops. Its greatest 'Value Is for correcting acidity of the soil under which condition many plants will not thrive. It also improves the eon's physical condition und intittenees fa- vorttbly time decomposition of organic matter. In some catses it inny make available, to stunt' extent soluble forms or•pot ash rind other minerals. It Is particularly valuable if there Is a good supply of organic matter in the soil. Spring is a good time to apply lime, particularly the bytirated form and specialists of the department of itgri- culture are urging that local limestone deposits be utilized in every possible way. This is already being done In many places but no doubt the practice could be widely extended. However, it involves, in list' (else of grinding, tlw purchase and delivery of grinding ma• eitinery, which may be difficult to ac- complish. and in the ease of local burning It means the purchase and de- livery of fuel unless there is local fuel available. Wherever Nei, either wood or coal, is available, however. togeth- er with a local supply of limestone, every effort should be put forth to make use of this limestone in the pres- ent emergency. ANIMAL -PROOF SHEEP FENCE Department of Agriculture Gives Plan for Barrier to Keep Out Dogs and Coyotes. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A fence constructed in such tt` way as to bar dogs and coyotes from territory in which sheep are pasturing hits been designed and put to mot by the forest service of the United StIttes department of agriculture. Specifications for the dog -proof fence follow: Posts 7 1 / 2 feet in length, set 2 1 / 2 feet In the ground and 16 feet apart; a barbed wire stretched lint to the surf- ace of the ground; 3 incites higher at 16 -Inch woven -wire fence having a 4 - Inch triunguinr mesh; 5 inches higher a barbed wire; 6 inches higher a S141 - (11111 barbed wire; 7 inches above MIS it third barbed wire. Total height, 5 4 / inches. It ie essential that the bottom barbed wire be stretchetl flat on the surface et the grotind at all points. This is ac- complished by grading the ground be- fore the tepee ix built and by filling in the small holes afterwards. BANKS HELP BUY TRACTORS Notes Given for Farm Machines Will Be Treated Same as Other Agricultural Paper. (Prepared by' the United Suttee Depart- ment of' Agriculture.) Federal reserve banks mine to re- discount notes securtfd by farm true - tors. Instructions have been issued by the federal reserve board to till federal reserve banks authorizing them to rediscount tractor paper pee - seated by .any member bank, provid- ed it has maturity not exceeding sly tnontiss and the tractors are. pur- chamed for ngriculturui purposes. This action of the federal reserve bottrd mentos that notes given for farm tractors will be treated in the SAIlle manlier to other agricultural paper. thus making it easier for farmers to obtain tractore where needed. FARM ANIMALS TO PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS Especially Important to Protect Newly Fart owed Animals Front intestinal Parasites. - (Preeatud by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Becent investigations have shown the importance of taking speciel pre- cautions with newly farrowed pigs to prevent their becoming infested with intestinnl worms. Intestinal worms are very common pnrwalles among pigs, and cattse a great deal of dim nage to the young animals. It nppears that as they become older pigs become less susceptible to infection. Accordingly, If pigs tem be proteeted front infection during the first few weeks of life they are less likely afterwards to be serious- ly injured by intestinni worms of the common variety. The worms Ure spread hy Memel of eggs of microscopic size which are de- posited by the adult worms in the in- testines of infested pigs, and which pass out of the body in time feces. After a period of incubation varies ne- , o• I • yea, One Way of Preventing Worms in Pigs Is to Provide Good, Sanitary Quar- ters. cording to temperature and other con- ditions, the egg contains a tiny embry- onic worm, and is ready for further de- velopment when ewallowed by a pig. The eggs are highly rests.aritt and inny retain their vitality for yeartc. It is therefore evident that in course of time the ground in yards where pigs nre kept may become very heavily laden with the eggs of the worms. When the' eggs are swallowed the young worms hatch out, but do not im- mediately settle down in riet intestine. 'Hwy get into the circulation and are carried to vitrious orgams of the body, ,,including the lungs. Meanwhile they !Mt:reuse somewhat in size and undergo certain changes of structure. In a week or tett days they can be found In infected pigs examined post-mortem crawling up the windpipe Into , the mouth nod down the esophagus into the stomach. In the normal course or events they finally reach the intestine again. where they develop slowly to maturity. Small pigs if their lungs art' Invaded by large number.; of the young Intestinal worms . nre liable to develop pneumonia, Whiell may prove fetid. It is not linprobable that ninny eases of lung trouble aiming youug pigs are caused by these worms. The question of preventing Insoles among young pigs by WOrl/N, jmmiiglng front the results of the investigntions carried on in the zoological division of tile bureau of animal industry, largely resolves itself hitt') a question of pro- viding good sanitary conditions for the pigs, particularly during the suckling period. Thit. 'SOWS before farrowing should he kept In cleat ml, dry places away from mild witilows, tint! until the pigs are several week old they should be kept preferably in buildings told pens with floors which can be easily cleaned and which are kept debt]. MENACE TO SHEEP INDUSTRY Dogs and Coyotes Constitute One of Greatest Drawbacks to Wool and Mutton Business. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Wool and mutton are commanding higher prices than ever before and sup- plies of wool tire being depleted so rap- idly that it will fake some time after peace is dAlared to restock the wool trade, says Bulletin 035, \The Sheep - Killing Dog,\ issued by the United States departtnent of agriculture. The United States Is experiencing the greatest shortage of mutton and Wool In the history of the cOuntry. It is the duty of the American farmer to Increase the supply. The sheep -killing dog constitutes one of the greatest IllellIteett to - the success of the sheep industry. The dog not only kills sheep but keeps out of the sheep business men who are otherwise inclined to go Into it. The most effective method of dealing with the sheep-k111Ing dog As through enlelent legislation. Notable progress has been made by several states in enacting good dog laws, and others are expected to take similar action. No law, however well worded It rimy be, can be effective unless It hi en- forced and has the moral support of the people who are affected by it. Uniform state dog laws are desira- ble.
