Irrigation Development in

Parts of the West durhhg recent years

we realize another factor of limitation,
in the soil -drifting, which,' this yens,'

Farming tinder irrigation leas been'
incr'easingl'y practised cloying the past
fifteen years in the area east and
south of Lethbridge and has proved
successful and profitable. Farming
under irrigation leads to the more in-
tensive use of land; provides against
lack of moisture • and tends towards
the maintenance 68 soil fertility. In
ono area inhere soil -drifting has been
most severe the remedy is closest to
hand. Tho Lethbridge Northern
gation District which will draw its
water from the Old Man River -an
all-Canaclian, stream -is prepared to
proceed at once with construction
work as soon.as financing can be ar-
ranged, The farmers who own' the
110,000 :acres ierigable under the pro=
jest are anxious that"construction pro-
ceed at once.
That the farmers will be able to pay
the cost is clearly demonstrated by the
results obtained at the Lethbridge
Experimental harm, Froin 1908 to
1918 inclusive, -a period of eleven
years, the average increase per acre
../. on irrigated land over dry land ha.s.
been, wheat 23. bushels, oats 38 bush-
els, barley 35 bushels, peas 14 bushels
and potatoes 250 bushels the results
with alfalfa and hay were even mere
striking.
The Alberta Government hap opened
up communication with the Dominion
Government with a view to evolving
some plan to finance the District.
There are other areas where the lands
could be watered from all -Canadian
streams, and on. seine of these the Do-.
minion Reclamation Service is now
completing surveys.
These areas with those capable of
.being irrigated from streams which
are not all -Canadian make Up a total
- of upwards. of half a million acres:
Mistakes have beep made in tlhs
past which, however, are now happily
rectified, and it Is hoped there will be
uo unueeessary .delay on the part of
Government in. developing those pub -
irrigation projects which will very
soon after their practical inception,
command the sound financial credit to
which they will b.e entitled. -G. R.

Furl advantage should be taken of
the growing tendency among farmers
to study plant life and to try and pro-
duce more productive strains for their
localities.
The most pressing problem ,at the
present is that of makingpure seed
of suitable strains more easily avaiI-
able to farmeree The Solution of this
problem is being sought in the'Pollow-
ing ways;
(a) )3y encouraging organization of
seed centres;; (1) by improving rear=

demand far goad seed both in Canada
and the United States; (5) by encour-

by experimental farms and agricul-

ty of something. better than we now
have being- produced by practical
farmers is fully realized.
The encouraging of individual farm-
ers to select plants which may mark
the starting point of a superior strain
is one of the two main functions of
the Canadian Seed Growers' Associa-
tion. The second function le that of
supervising the propagation of im-
proved strains In a large way and in a

Hag lame of the Ocean
Suppose it were possible for you to
descend to the bottom of the deepest
sea in a diving -bell, and you forgot to
provide yourself with any form of
light. Would you find yourself in a
vast chamber of eternal darkness?
>a' Sunlight is of no use to fish inhabit-
ing the deeper portions of the sea. In
the waters off the coast of Porto Rico,
where the depth is about five miles,
clay and night are the same, and it was
originally believed that fish lived in
perpetual darkness,
It has now been discovered that this
is not so.. Althought there are certain
portions of the ocean where- light
never penetrates (and where fish, in
accordance with Nature's• economical
rule, are provided with no eyes), the
majority of deep sea inhabitants, Iive
in a blaze of phosphorescent light pro-
duced by themselves, In other words,
these fish carry their own lamps,.
Sometimes a ileh will have only one
lamp, which may be compared witch an
acetylene lamp en a Menlo. _•It
"111" throws •a penetrating shaft of light
through the waters ahead, and the
fifth's path is perpetually illuminated.
Others are provided with organs hi
which are fitted rows of lamps,' which
either play upon the water ahead or
flash through the water on either side
like the illuminated portholes of a
ship, The lamps are fittsd with lenses
and reflectors, and their power is ac-
centuated by the tremendous water
pressure and peculiar conditions un-
der which they live.
At a depth of 2,500 fathoms, the
pressure of water upon fish is twonty-
five times greater than that required
to drive a railway train. Such deep.
sea fish as have been brought to the
surfao0, although retaining some of
their phosphorescent properties, are
assumed to have lost the greater' por-
tion of their brilliance.
A luminous fish is handicapped if it
strays too far afield, for then it has
merely its own Light to depend upon,
whereas In the company of its mates
it can reside In a perpetual blaze of
brilliance!
One's imagination finds It difficult to
graap what those great, artificially -lit
water chambers must be litre. Far be-
low the ocean liners are enormous
watery domes, icy cold, sopndloss, yet
as brilliantly illuminated as though
-the sun were pouring upon therm,
These illuminated spheres are not
stationary. They move, as the living
lambs move, leaving behind them ut-
ter darkness.
Ono of the most remarkable of these
fish is the deep-ea'angler-fish, Like
its shallow water relative, it has an
enormous mouth with ugly irregular
teeth., and a pendent tenacle by which
it catches its prey. But whereas the,
latter's tentacle is designed to re-
semble something edible, the fornier's
is designed like a "Will -o -the -Wisp"
light, which teases and attracts prey
into the waiting mouth. The deep-sea
angler -fish is found at a depth of. 14,-
7001t,
Most deep-sea fish bear a strong re-
semblance to some species of fish in-
habiting tho waters above them, apart
from their quality of luminastty, This
suggests that fish migrate from one
depth to another, acquiring in the
course of timo time physical character.

get, the less they shine -another ex-

-But these migrations must be very

The woman at home, deep in house-

her children's welfare exact heavy

the woman at home is often hhdis-

her health troubles are, the cause Is

it is the woman's goad blood that

Soil Conservation and West-
. ern Crop Production. •
The gradually decreasing average
yield from the cereal crops on these,
our Canadian prairies, and the already
very low average yields of similar
crops so distinctive of the prairie
areas in the republic to the south of
ns constitute ample proof that the al-
leged iaexihaustibie fertility or these
great American prairies is very rapid-
ly being depleted.
A study of the soils of these prairies
would, however, seem to point to
caua,es other than lack of plant food
as being, largely responsible for the
gradually decreasing Crop -producing
power of our Western lands.
These causes, from close observe;
tions extending over many years, on
our Experimental Farms macre par-
ticularly, but including also farms in

Trout Fishing in Canada.
More benefit is derived from recrea-
tion in the open country than from any
other form of amusement, and fishing
is one of the happiest and most health
giving of pastimes. Sumpter is fish-
ing time, and Canada has numerous
lakes and rivers where there le abun-
dance of fish of all varieties to tempt
the angler. Trout -fishing le amongst
the most popular forms of this sport.
To fish successfully toe trout his
habits must be known. His habits in
one part of the •coiiltry will be dif-
ferent from the habits of his, brothers
in the lakes aria streams of other dif-
ferent eections of the country. Tho
trout loves Clear swift running
streams, whether large or small, the
bottoms of which are filled with bould-
ers and gravel, Ile is wont to hide
under the overhanging banks of the
streams and under and along fallen
trees in deep holes made -by these ob-
structions of, the current. It is par-
ticularly advantageous to look for
trout among the flat moving rapids,
or in the eddies along the hanks. The
trout feeae largely on insects. He is
a lively forager for food, and he is oG
ten seen chasing the small minnows
during the middle of the day, and now
and then leaping in the air for black
Ries and sloths. He likes plenty of
oxygen, and delights in the wbite-cap-
ped foaming waters below a fall in the
stream.
Balsa, B.C., is the headquarters for
trout fishers on the upper Kootenay
lake. holiday makers who are visit-
ing beautiful Banff may catch excel-
lent trout in the Bow River, Splendid
trout fishing may 1)e had at Nipigon,
Ontario, and in the rivers and lakes
among• the Laurentian Mountains-,
Quebec; in fact there is trgut fishing
to be had in nearly all Canadian
waters of 'any greats extent. But those
wbo are seeking n big haul should go

quented.

tain a fair idea as, to the stability of
the central respiratory nervous ap-
paratus of Ito examinee.

the apparatus required, while the pre-

the experiment are equally simple.

"I had to give up," o1' "I wanted to

In the tropical regions of East and
West Africa, in the islands of Mada-
gascar and Zanzibar, also the West
Indies, areas covering thousands of
square miles are planted with "soap"
trees, grown especially to supply rate
material for the world's soap market.

copra, which is the commercial name
for the nut substance in the cocoanut,
and every time we eat a piece of cocoa-
nut we are practically eating soap in
another form.
Milltous or cocoanut -palm trees are
yielding each year thousands of tons
of copra, which Is sent to Europe to
thes great soap factories, where it is
crushed and put into large vats with
a certain percentage of soda and other
chemicals.

lowed to cool, when it sets into a hard
mass, from which bars and cubes are
cut, stamped, and packed into highly
decorated wrappers. Were it not for
the chemicals soap would be quite tl
useful food.
