FALL WHEAT HELPED
BY FINE WEATHER
The Shortage of Seed is Already
Apparent in
Ontario.
A despatch from Guelph says: Dr.
C. A. Zavits, O.A,C., had some inter-
esting things to say on Wednesday
regarding the seed grain situation
which will be beneficial to the farm-
ers of Ontario.
"The remarkably fine weather we
have been having this Fall is the
greatest thing that ever happened to
the Fail wheat," stated Dr. Zavitz.
"On the plots that we have here, and
they take in quite a large acreage,
the Winter wheat looks almost as
well as in any average year. It is
getting a great foundation, and in
showing a good spreading top. We
sowed here the second week in Sep-
tember, which we considered rather
late, as we plan always to seed the
first of September. Reports from
other points indicate that the Winter
wheat is benefiting by the mild wea-
ther."
In regard to the seed situation, Dr.'
Zavitz was not at all optimistic.l
"Good seed is going to be scarce," he
said, "that will especially be true in
regard to barley, oats, potatoes, corn,
and alfalfa, and I would advise any
farmer who has a good quality of ;
these to be very careful what he does
with them, as there is going to be, in
fact there is right now, a pronounced
shore:ge in the s:.ed situation in On-
tario.
"There was a lot of grain threshed
out that will not do for seed. Of
late years farmers have been drawing
largely on Essex for seed cern, but;
the crop there has not been up to;
the standard of other years, although
growers there are paying more at-
tention to drying, and will probably
produce more seed proportionately
than they did before. What potatoes
there are should make splendid seed,
as there is no rot this year, and the
potatoes were not overly ripened, 1
which improves them for seeding pur-
poses. It is not advisable to import
seed from other provinces or from
other countries, as there is always the
danger of mixed grain, which we have
been trying to eradicate. The great
thing is for the farmers of Ontario
to conserve all the seed grain they
have. There will be a temptation to
feed it, but their best policy looking
to the future is to save it."
HOW TO INVEST YOUR MONEY.
No person with any sense disputes
the wisdom of depositing money in a
savings bank and earning three per
cent. per annum, but what a good busi-
ness loan cannot understand is, why
it should be allowed to remain there
and left to accumulate at that rate.
Money to -day is certainly worth
more than that, but the difficulty is,
the average person does not know
how to invest it safely. There is a
way open to every healthy person to
invest his money without any risk,
which may bring him or his family a
thousand per cent., and no matter
what the result, cannot bring him less
than three per cent. interest, and that
is by taking out an endowment life
insurance policy in the Crown Life
Insurance Company of Toronto. The
moment you pay your first premium
you create an estate of the full value
of your policy. Should you die with-
in a year your estate will receive a
thousand per cent. on your invest-
ment; if you live to the maturity of
your policy you will have returned to
you more than principal and three
per cent. interest.
Can there be any comparison be-
tween Ieaving your money on deposit
in a savings bank or buying a policy
in the Crown Life? Write the Head
Office at Toronto for literature.
PARLIAMENT TO MEET

A despatch from Ottawa says: The
session of Parliament will not be call-

or perhaps the early part of Febru-
ary. The date will not be fixed for
some weeks, although the matter will
come up for consideration on the re-;
turn of Sir Thomas White from Eng-
land in December. The Finance
Minister's budget and measures of
war finance will be as usual an im-
portant feature of the Government's
legislative programme.

German Action in Belgium Vio-
lates the Rules of
Warfare.
A despatch from Washington says:
While the State Department will not
discuss the matter, it became known
on Friday that the United States is
so seriously concerned over Ger-
man's apparent violation of the rules
of civilized warfare by deporting
Belgians and Frenchmen from the
civil. population that it has made re-
presentations to Berlin.
It is further learned here that this
Government, through Ambassador
Gerard, vigorously protested against
the deportation of young French girls
from Lille by the German military au-
thorities. The protest was carried
direct to the German Emperor and
resulted in the promise that the civil-
ian population of Lille would be sent
back to France. It ie understood that
the action of the United States in re-
gard to Belgium would be pressed as
earnestly as the previous cases. Pre-
sident Wilson and Secretary Lansing
are both deeply concerned in the mat-
ter.
The- deportations from Belgium are
complicated by the fact that Germany
defends its action.
COAL MINES DAMAGED
BY EARTH SHOCKS.
One Fatality Occurred and Mines
Have Been Closed.
A despatch from Ottawa says: In-
formation received in the Depart-
ment of Labor states that a series of
violent disturbances in the coal mines
at Fernie, B.G., during Wednesday
and Thursday, have indefinitely sus-
pended operations at No. 1 east mine.
Whether the disturbances are seismic
or other origin is not yet known the"re.
One fatality resulted, and there was
extensive damage in the district to
property. The other mines suspend-
ed operations completely during
Thursday, but are likely to resume
in a few days. The normal produc-
tion will be, however, considerably af-
fected. At the Dominion Observatory
here it is stated that the Fernie dis-
turbance must have been local, no
seismis disturbance having been re- 1
corded on - the official instruments
