Winnipeg Saved from . Tram Strike
Winnipeg --Strike of Winnipeg El-
ectric Railway employees, scheduled
to go into effect Friday midnight, was
averted as the result of an agreement
reached late in the, afternoon.
Representativs of the men and the
conipan'y agreed to accept a compro-
mise proposal which promised amic-
able settlement of the dispute.. The
strike order has been withdrawn, and
the men will take a ballot on the
proposed 15 per cent. wage reduc-
tion. One of the contentions of the
company- officials was that the em-
ployees had no opportunity to express
their wishes through a secret ballot.

enue, lashed securely to the boat.
Lifeguards from the Leuty Avenue
Station noticed the dinghy out in the

shore swam out through the terrific
undertow to pull it up on)he beach.
It was not until they were near shore
that they noticed the young man's
body floating underneath the boat.

,Big Yield of Corn
Six acres of corn on the farm of
Mr. Victor Stockton, 8th concession
Minto, yielded one of the best crops
in this section in years. ' It took 6
balls of twine to the acre and when
cut .up for ensilage 'on Friday last it
filled a silo 40 feet by 13, feet to the
brim.' This will: make some good

Bring Down Two Large Birds
While George Whitby, Charles
M'grrison and Roy Colyer were am-
bling about witlis shot guns near the
4th concession Kinloss, they caught
sight of two exceptionally large birds
which took wing, but failed to . get
away before George Whitby had
brought them both down. One was
dead and the' other suffered a broken
wing, and was later destroyed and
stuffed by Mac Webster. The birds
had a wing spread of about five feet,
six inches, and their species was
doubtful at first, although they are
now considered to be turkey' buzz-
ards. They resemble a small eagle
with the exception of the leg and
foot, which is much the same as that
di 'a domestic turkey.—Lucknow Sen-

Moisture and Production
The geographical location of dry-
farming areas in Western Canada,
with respect to the Rocky Mountains
accounts chiefly for the difference in
amount of precipitation over these
areas as compared with Eastern Can-
ada. The mountains intercept mois-
ture so that rain falls on the west-
ern slopes instead of passing.over to
the prairies. From all bodies of wa-
ter, moisture is being 'evaporated
continually by heart from the sun-
The magnitude of this process
throughout the world is such that
around 16,000,000 tons of water is
converted into vapour every second.
This moisture is present in the at-
mosphere and frequently is visible as
clouds. The atmosphere surrounding
the world is never at rest but moves
continuously from areas of high bar-
ometric pressure to areas of low
pressure, and these areas in turn;
change in a direction approrirnately
from west' to east, In this movement
of course, the vapour is caused to
join. Tlte'mechanisni by which rain'
is formed is of particular interest to
farmers in dry -farming areas. This
subject is folly discussed in Bulletin
130, which may be had from the Pub-
ligations i3ranch, Department of Ag-
ricttlture, Ottawa, for the asking.
