20 TO 30 DAYS LATE
Plenty of Moi€ture Available
to Carry Crop Into June..
A despatch front Edmonton, Alta.,
says: -The first semi-monthly crop
and live stock report issued by the
Department of Agriculture states that
the seeding in Alberta is from twenty
to thirty days later by the calendar
than it was last year, varying with
locality. If quick general seeding were
possible, the prospects are the best in
a dozen years.
There is a depth of from two and
a half to four feet of moist soil over
the driest parts a# the Province, and
the report asserts that once the seed
is in it has a moisture supply for
germination and growth to carry the
crop well into June.
Central Alberta has made' scatter-
ed beginnings on dry spots, Peace
River is backward, except along the
valley. The late season is going to

in the centre and north, but there

Farmers Will Get
$2.55 for Wheat
.A. despateh from Winnipeg says:-
James Stewart, Chairman of the Cana-
dian Wheat Board, announces that the
value of the participation. certificates
will" not be less than 40 cents per
bushel. This, with 32.15 already guar-
anteed, will bring the' price to 32.55.
United States wheat averaged 32.1.4.
iirany of the farmers believe that the
price Yvill indeed be much higher than
the most optimistic had hoped for, on
account of the abnormal increase in
the price of wheat from the time it
�Tleft the fai`m until it was sold to Euro-
pean buyers.

A despatch from Paris says:-
The first coal mine, wrecked during

A few hundred or thousand years

In the very hour when. Moses was

I• D like to be an Eskimo and In an igloo dwell, and eat fried

humble Eskimo is glad, we see him dance and sing; his
womenfolk don't drive him mad by cleaning house each spring.
He isn't driven out of doors to hunt for frozen grub, the while
the women scrub the floors -there are no floors to scrub. He
is not chased, to beat the band, from out the divers rooms, by
(fames with brooms and mops in. hand -there are no mops or
brooms. Year after year he sits in peace, or lies upon bis back,
Clothed in his wholesome film of grease, and no one cleans the
shack. His treasured goods are not mislaid, as mine are, every
year; and he can find his blubber spade, his corkscrew and his
spear. .And if he spills -a cataract of ashes on the floor, no woman
reads the riot act, no female heart is sore. I'll go to join the
Eskimo when next a vessel starts, for I am tired of all the woo
that cleaning house imparts. I'm tired. of sitting on the stairs,
oppressed by fantods three, because the couches and the chairs

attack the stubble and prevent the

ing to the killing of the tlseues be-

Various methods• have boon tried in
an. endeavor to eradicate the alfalfa
weevil, such as dry harrowing until
the surface was covered with a fine
I dust, but this was only partially suc-
1 cessful, and the .second crop was de-
layed and reduced. The Utah division
Iof the Entomological Branch of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, after careful investigation, re-
commends the use of a solution of_
arsenate of lead, in the proportion of
two pounds of arsenate of lead to 100
gallons of water. This, they claim,
has been successfully used; it is
cheap and easily applied. One hun-
dred gallons• of the solution per acre,
finely sprayed on the firet crop of
growing plants, has been found, ef-
fective
ffective in destroying the insects and
protecting the Crop.
As the weevil is migratory, it may
become a pest in the alfalfa fields of
Canada at any time. It would be wis-
dom on the part of alfalfa growers to
be on. guard during .the coming season,
as a little precaution may mean the
saving of the crop.
