Saskatchewan farmers.
Right now, 2,700 of these efficient
reaper -thresher machines are ready
ter ue0 this Year ou Saskatchewan
farms, Before harvest, 1,300 mare
will be disposed of to grant growers
of the province,
That means 4,000 "combines" In use
,en Sasicatckewan farms alone and the
'coat will run well over the. $10,000,000
marls, all purchased out, of crop re-
celpta for 1928 and 1929,
It is more than probable that by
next fall 2,000 additional coiubines
will be iu use in the adjoining prov-
inces of [tlberta and Manitoba,
Tlie figures come from an unbiased
authority on these matters --the Prov -
Waal Depaatment
rov-inalal;Departmeut of Labor,
A big crop is expeoted and labor of-
ficials must make early preparations
to bring in the necessary harvest help.
This year, 17,000 - men will be
needed at the most.
And the growing demand for mod-
ern farm machinery does not at all
affect labor conditions adversely.
This year and in the years to come
the trek of harvest workers westward
will be lessened, Eventually there
will be sufficient labor on the prairies
to care for harvest needs.
But the new machine age should
have a beneficial effect on manufac-
turing and labor conditions in farm
machinery centres, Western farmers
a are rapidly becoming "machine wise."
They want combines and tractors
and motor trucks and power plants on
their forma,
Successful farmers are becoming
the rule.'Men with three or four quar-
ter sections of their own are in a posi-
tion to buy and it is a well-established
fact that the per capita wealth in Sas-
katchewan is the greatest la Canada.
The other day a train load of 60
ears of tractors reached Regina.
The train wasa halt -mile long and
was destined to, just one distributor
alone.
Buying f=arm Land
Meanwhile, there is no scarcity of
buyers for Saskatchewan farm lands.
When the Federal Government, re-
cently sold 10,000,000 acres of school
lands there were plenty of bidders,
some of the land was good, some of it
was scrubby sort. But good and oth-
erwise, these 10,000,000 acres brought
au average of $12 to $15 an acre.
Some Indian lands have been sold,
too, and no dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed over prices received.
Largest Farm In Province Sold '
The largest farm in the proviuce
has just been sold.
The "Big Four," a 10,240 -acre farm
about 180 milds southwest of Saska-
toon, has bites sold by Hon. Edward
Strutt, Loudon, England, for a price
just a tittle less than. $400,000.
Hon. Mr; Strutt bas farms all over
the Empire and last year 176,000
bushels of grain were taken off the
"Big Four" farm. Twelve tractors,
158 horses, five threshing outfits and
a number of combines are used on the
farm.
The farm has been bought -by inter-
ests represented by the Western Trust
Company, Regina, and will be split tip
into 16 large farms. Ten of these have
already been disposed of and no dif-
ficulty 15 expected in selling the re-
maining six.
Dealers in farm lands and colonize-
tion agents report as exceptionally
good season. New settlers with moi-
I9Y to buy farms, homes and machin-
0.rr are increasing and deals this year
re on an exceptionally satisfactory
basis.

Now that Summer is here; a favorite leisure hour topic with a large number of us is the annual vacation. Memories of glorious days, spent on the
roads and trails through forest or mountain and by lake or stream, lure 'thoughts to plans for the ;future, The delights of anticipation are ours as we
pore over maps or pamphlets and thirst of the days to come.
Canada offers attractions which are unsurpassed in their diversity: East, west, or north the roads dead to, opportunity and adventure. In •order'to
assist the tourist in planning his trip, the Canadian Government, through its Department of the Interior, Issues a series of maps showing the main auto-
mobile roads in Canada and the northern States. The sheets which make up the series are the"Atlantic," "Great Lakes,' "Middle West" and "Pacific."
The sketch map reproduced on this page indicates the area covered by one of ,these ivape, which, however, contains stub more detail than on be shown
here. Presenting a sufficiently large area on one sheet to cover territory. within reasonable touring distance, .they are among the very few maps avail-
able that show clearly' the main highway systems and their connections 'between the two countries, without .:unnecessary detail.. By °their help a point
ton oint itinerary for the round trip may be selected, details of which may be obtained' fromlocal, provincial or state highway maps,
In addition to the series mentioned, a general map covering the whole of Canada and, alt except the extreme south of the Untied States ,is issued.
This map should prove useful to transcontinental tourists and others planning routes covering large areas. We understand that copies of anyof the
maps may be obtained free of charge upon requeakto the National Resources Intelligence Service, of the Department of the Interior, at Ottawa, Canada,
Rayon Maker Dup-
licates Caterpillar's
Digestion
Chemist Produces Artificial
Silk from Cotton Sheet
By OR. R. E. ROSE
A chemist pondered upon the 'fact
that a silkworm caterpillar ate mull
berry leaves and spun silk. It was a
challenge to him, Ile felt that a chem-
ist should be able to chew up some-
thing fn a bottle or kettle and spin a
thread just as good as that of the cat-
erpillar. It took a long time to real-
ize that dream, but now we know ra-
you as well as.we do cotton and silk.
The amount made rums to hundreds of
millions of pouuda annually,.
Rayon really is little different chem-.
ically from cotton, from which it can
be made, but it is quite different in its
appearance and some other proper-
ties. If you want to make an old cot-
ton sheet into rayon you can do it.
Soak the sheet In strong caustic soda
solution, squeeze out most of the lye
and tear the sheet to pieces so that it
forms crumbs. Beat up the "ripe"
crumbs with carbon disulfide, a liquid'
of an atrocious odor, poisonous and
extremely inflammable, more so than
gasoline. A bright orange, rather
sticky mass will be all that rematna
of the sheet. Dissolve this in water
with a little more lye in it.
Adjust its thickness until it is just,
right, get all the tiny air bubbles out
et it, also every bit of dirt. Then force
the pulp through platinum plates with
tiny holes In them into an acid bath.
Filaments will result. View, after
many other treatments, suck as wash-.
freeing from sulphur and ..g bleach -
lag, will apPettr, after spinning, g, as
ra"yon ya, in On the whole, it is easier
to use the old sheet as rags and buy
your rayon.
Car Production
Shows Gain
Output in April Attains New
Motor Record -
Production of automobiles in Can-
ada during April at 41,901 ears set" up
a new high record for the second:
month in succession. Earlier records
now surpassed, were established in
March. of this year when 40,021 cars
were made, and in. May of last year,
when the output was 33,942 cars.
The output of 41,901 cars during
April was three per cent. greater
than production for the previous.
month and sixty per cent. above the
bureau's moving average for twelve
months ending April, computed at 26,=
254 cars. Figures were compiled at
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
Compared with the figures for
March, data for April allowed in-
creased outputs for all types except
chassis. The'greatestgain was in
open passenger cars, which advanced
to 5,761. from 4,107; closed model pas-
senger cars rose slightly to 27,912
from 27,146; the output .of trucks re-
mained practically stationary at 1,422
as against 1,421 and `the number of
chassis declined to 787 from $9,948.
During April, 19 taxicab buses were
suede; none of this type were pro-
duced in March.

In Loudon and in all oar other large

thus saved by a handful of individuals
Is lost a hundred times over by their
