is generally necessary to have
sone external or internal stimulation.
No matter how favorable the soil and
how high the quality of the seed, the
plant does not reach its best possible
growth unless care has been given to
the cultivation of the soil. It was
with. this principle in mind that the
Government of Saskatchewan five
years ago- established a branch of its
department of agriculture to foster
among the farmers of the province
the idea of .eo-operative marketing of
their products. Natural conditions
in the province have always been
favorable to the development of bal-
anced farming, but the stimulation
given to the farmers in providing
markets by means of co-operative or-
ganization in the sale of their pro-
ducts bas beep responsible for the
development of many phases of farm-
ing which were hitherto, compare-
tiveiy speaking, almost negligible.
Dairying, sheep -raising and beef pro-
duction base all grown to a point of
considerable importance in a Province
which has earned its reputation for
grain growing, and the end is not yep
reached, though the' yearly revenue
from the fanner is gradually ¶atch-
lug up to•the latter.
One of the first, steps undertaken
by this branch of the Provincial Gov-
ernment was the organization of a co-
operative system of live stock market-
ing, which would eliminate all need -
Tess middlemen, and secure for both
the smaller and the larger producers
the benefits of competitive bidding
obtainable on central markets. A,
bulletin e:tplalning these benefits to
farmers was cotnpiled in 1914. and
sent to farmers in the province: As
a result nine co-operative stock mar-
keting associations were formed the
following year.
During the first year thirty cars of
stock which realized $42,034.00 were
handled by these assoetationa. By
1918 the number of associations had
grown to fifty, which handled• seven
hunched and fifty .cars of stock of a
value of $1,432,000. This does not
show the whole growth of the move-
ment, however, for its success in-
duced the Grain Grower's Associa-
tion, the largest eo-operative associ-
ation in the province, to take up the
handling of stork, and the consider-
able numbers handled by this assoel
ation through its locals in alt parts.,
of the province are not included in
the figures quoted.
Little or no capital is required in
the formation of these seelettes.
Though some of th4e associations at
the beginning find it necessary to
obtain a loan from the total bank to
pay advances on stock, the practice
is teneralty diseonttnued, as they be-
come firmly established, A number

associations in the province have realized by farmers who have sold
their stock through these co-operative
associations. This is equal to about
$200 a ear. On this basis the saving
e$150ffected,0011last year would amount to
.
The government renders assistance
in the formation of these associations.,
by providing each new association,
free of coat, with a set of receipt
and account forms, sufficient to record
all its transactions for the first year.
A " bulletin explaining how the
accounts should be kept, is also Int-
nished. When the first eoheignment
is ready, an experienced man is sent
by the government to assist the Mare
ager of the associtation in receiving,
weighing, grading, loading, and for-
warding the stock. This loon will
also accompany the manager to the
central market to Mid him in the dis-
poAal of hie stock if desired. Through
this assistanee many associations
have been encouraged to undertake
the work, and honing once started it
is very seldom that the undertaking
Is abandoned.
There is no doubt that these asso(<i-
ations are a mela,tts of increasing the
prosperity of the fernier. Not only
does he get higher prices for eery
shipment he malted, but this fact and
the convenience of the market also
entourages him to increase his live-
stock holdings. The 'success Of cite

ship only once every two weeks.
Several associations ship more fre-
quently at one season of the year
than they do at other times.
When stock is delivered, the ani-
mals are first weighed. Hogs are
usually graded according to weight
and quality. Cattle and sheep are
usually branded, so that each farm-
er's anix'Slals may be properly identi-
fied. The farmer receives a receipt
specifying the number and kind of
animals- delivered, and showing the
grade or brand assigned to his stock.
The animals are then loaded, ship•
ped to market, and sold through one
of the IIve stock commission firms,
On reeeipt of the proceeds, the man-

Dear Friend and Comrade;—
When the great war Wee on and the
fierce Hun and her Allies, were fighting
Britain and her Allies, when the battle
waged warm and the conflict keen, that at
one time we hardly knew, whether Ger-
many would conquer or whether she
would be conquered, then youlistening
to Duty's call obeyed, by offering:yourself
a volunteer to fight for God, King and
Country. Though oar hearts were rivers
to see
you go, yet were we glad no yellow
streak was to be found in our Hero of the
hour As the sunshine follows the rain,
and the bright morning. the dark night,
so has our boy come home again, wearing
the laurels of Victory. We welcome you
home, believing that in service, you found',
pleasure, because you were helping to
win the war. In leaving your native land
you knew not, whether you would return,
or fill a soldier's grave. To -night realizing
how this war has made many mothers
morn and children weep, we rejoice, your
mother mourns not, but rather is exceed-
ly glad, because her boy has safely return-
ed from the battle fields of Flanders, and
o'er the stormy billows of ocean, yes back
again to Home Sweet Home, and to Wing -
ham the Hub of the County.
We ask you to accept these cuff links as
a small memento of the high appreciation
of our soldier boy. As they link the cuffs
to the wrist, so may we ever be closely
'linked by that Magic Chain, Fraternity,
Aid and Protection.

Tho production of tomatoes in
Urge quantities 'on the prairie does
tot appear to have been a success in
the past, but prairie people are of a
type who' are forever doing, some-
thing which was never done before.
Messrs. G. O. Kerr and J. E. Terrill.
of Lethbridge, Alberta, have observed
for some years that tomatoes in
small quantities were matured in the
Lethbridge district and decided that
there was no reason why the experi-
ment shquld not be made on a com-
mercial scale. As a result about
two acres of tomatoes were set out
last summer on land farmed by Mr.
Kerr, a few miles east of Lethbridge.
The plants were started under glass
in Lethbridge and set out on June 6,
'', and 8, at which time they were
from 6 to 8 inches in height. Three
thousand five hundred plants were
feet in the plot, ,some of them
three feet apart and Bother four
feet apart. The experience of the
season seems to indicate that the
four foot plant is fsreferabie.
The soil secured was an old pasture
Which had since been in alfalfa and
ie protected by a wind break of trees
on the western side. It is a very
rich loam with a gentle south slope
and, of course±, is irrigated. The laid
was cultivated in the ordinary way
and irrigated before planted and
three tithes afterwards.
The first of the ripe fruit was
available seven weeks after settin;:'
(Jet the plants, or about the end of
July. During the month of August
freest five
ve
to six hundred pounds of f
beautiful ripe fruit wastaken off l
plot each day and this rate of pro-
duction continued into September.
The total yield of the plot is estim-
ated at 35,000 pounds and a ready
Market was found for the product in
the tiny of I,c^•thbridge, the, tarty ripe
tomatoes bringing twenty-five cents
e. pound and the latter crop fifteen
cents a• pound. The gross price of
85.0011 pounds at the latter figure is
#5,0;0.
.'<crordiug to Mr. lierr, no diffi-
culties wore experienced in the pro-
duction of this crop. Tree vines
we're trimmed early in July for the
purpose of preducine heavier trust
and also admitting more sunshine
Which ripened it very rapidly. The

rourse, reached the contsu er t, bet-
ter condition. The crop wits so heavy
that in many cases the support
stokes which had been put in for the
vines to climb on were broken down.
One vine w'as rioted which had eigh-
ty-three tomatoes On it.
Up to the middle of September no
damage had been experienced front
frost, although as a precautionary
measure flax straw had bc,en dumped
about the plot, so that smudges could
be started if necessary. Mr. Tierr
neints out that the a .. etial thing in
the production of this ere, was the
irrigation,
which not only i elF

ample n,oieture at the righttitle
