No Crops to Save The grasshopper poisoning station at. Alsack, Saskatchewan, 'Was closed because there is no' crop to save in an area of 3,500 square miles around this Saskatchewan - Alberta border village. (Since 1929 the country around Alsack has been periodic crop fail­ ures, growing increasingly serious until this year in which, experts say the situation is worse than ever be­ fore. In the last five years the population of the village dwindled from 400 to 200. .In the farming country it has dropped from one family in 150 acres to one in 15,000. Roads Drifted Over with Sand During a two-hour drive with J. B. Durrant, Flaxcombe representa­ tive of the Saskatchewan Depart­ ment of Agriculture, this corres­ pondent saw farm after farm aban­ doned, fences and roads drifted over with sand, lake bottoms dried and cracked and a haze of yellowish dust standing high from the horizon. There will be no crop ixx this dis­ trict of 3,500 square miles, Mr. Durrant said, though some stunted growth might be saved for feed if rain coxnes in the next few days. In 1932, Andrew Anderson, mas­ ter farmer from Sweden worked 3,- 000 acres a few miles north ol1 here. His farm, named Fogvelik, was one of the show places of the pairies. Agriculturists came from all parts of the continent to see it. Anderson became discouraged as he lost ground and moved. Grass­ hoppers and gophers today possess the desert on which he once grew 50,000 bushels of wheat in a year. Anderson’s home stands like a spectre in the middle of what was once a fine lawn. The trees in his iruit orchard are dead and hi’s shade trees as well. A hole in the ground half full of tumblewood. Russian thistle, was once an ornamental fish pond beside a lawn on which he en­ tertained his guests. On a few acres a new homestead­ er this year sowed wheat. The stalks stand about three inches high. They are dead. Tumbleweed is tangued ixi the wire fences and in some places great drifts of sand, like pale, brown, snow, lie over the fences and fill the six-foot ditches alongside the road. Some Wait Too Long Year by year, said Mr. Durrant more farmers give up and move it they can. .Some wait too long—wait until their money has gone, Then they can’t move even with the low freight rates the railways allow them to resettle in a new land. Those who are caught stay and struggle against drought, wind, dust heat and despair. This country, said Mr. Durrant should never have been sown to wheat. There is not enough mois­ ture to grow wheat but it would make good grazing land provided there was enough moisture to give water fox* cattle, he said. Artesian wells and giant irrigation plan, he believes would bring the old settlers back and add more, but the country would have to be work­ ed closei’ to nature with less tillage and more grazing. The farmers don't all agree with Mr Durrant. Same are still hoping for next year. "All we need is rain at the right time,” they say. ‘They are hardy and patient, the "tcughest” of those who came to this country, tough enough to stay after the others left. RESIDENT OF PARKHILL DISTRICT LAID TO REST The funeral of John Joseph Breen was held at Mt. Carmel Church, where requenx high mass was sung by Rev. Father Fogarty. In his 87th year, he was born in Ireland and came to Canada when he was 3 years old with his pai'ents who settled on the farm where he has lived ever since. A Roman Catholic, he was a member of the Mt. Carmel church the C.M.B.A., and the Holy Name Society. He was secretary-treasur­ er of S.S. No. 13 for 16 years. Fifty- five years ago he married Catherine Murray, and to them wex;e born five children, of whom two sons, Thomas and Janies and one daughter, Mrs. Kenneth A. McNeil, of Kingsville, are living. Interment was in Mount Carmel Cemetery. Boils on Neck, Arms and Legs Caused Him Much Pain RURDOCK Bitters Mr. Path, Allard, Charlo, N.B., writes:— “Last Fall I had boils on my neck, arms and legs, and they caused me so much pain I found it difficult to do my work. “I did not know what to do until a friend told me about B.B.B. I took a few bottles and I have not had any boils since. Thanks to B.B.B. I am now feeling in the best of health?7 A product of The T. Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont. AILSA CRATG GIRL INJURED When she was.thrown out of the door of a motor car as it collided, with another machine near Ailsa Craig recently, Miss Gertrude Rob­ inson, 19, of R.R. 3, Ailsa Craig, suffered a .severe head wound and was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, London for treatment. Graham Mardland, of Londoxi Township, said to have been the driver of the car, escaped injury, while a sister of the patient in hospital, Miss Dorothy Robinson suffered bruises.

It struck the parked car and the impact threw the dooi’ open and Gertrude Robin­ son plunged out on hei’ head on the gravel road. Occupants of the car* were reported as uninjured. Dr. A. E.
