The Wingham Advance, 1911-04-06, Page 44 TRE WINGRAM ADVANCE WILL RECIPROCITY INCREASE FARM VALUES ? o Canadian . (CrmrTlie Ondean Advocates of reciprocity are making statements to the effect that the adop- tion of reciprocity will immediately increase the value of Canadian farm lands'' 2a` per cent. or more, Instead of making wild guesses let ue get at the facts. Since the reciprocitynevoti - tine began the United States Goern- ment has had a report prepared by experts showing the comparative value per acre of unproved farm lands in 1900 adid 1010 iu varinur border states and in the Oanaeitan provinces adj.tintn;t them This report, taatPs that ben weatt 1900 and 1910 this valise of improvial farm lands increased 67 per coot. iu Maine, 37 per cent, in New Hamshire, S 33 per cent. in Vermont, 3 1er cent. p Nova Scotia, 120 per cent„ in New 13rutiswick, 70 per ceat., in Prince Edward Island, 80 per cent, is Quebec 43 per cent,, in Ontario, 39 per cent„ in Michigan, 77 per cent., iu Minnesota 123 per cent„ in Manitoba, 201 per cent., in Saskatchewan affd 185 per cent, in Alberta. The great influx of settlers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta accounts for the rapid increase in farm values in those provinces ; but what is the explanation of the extraordinary increase in farm values in the three Maritime Provinces of Canada? Why did Nova Scotia farm values increase 181 per cent., while farm values in the neighbouring state of I\laiue only in- creased 07 per cent? Undoubtedly the great increase of values in the Maritime Provinces is due to the establishment. of manu- facturing industries in recent years. The establishment of great iron and steel industries in Nova Scotia has revolutionized conditions throughout the three provinces. A profitable home market ,has been created for everything the farmers produce These industries have been equally beneficial to the fishermen. As the stcel industries are located in Nova Scotia the influence on the price of farm Iands has been most marked in that province, but Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick have been greatly benefitted. The development of St. John as a a winter port has also helped to increase farm values in New 13 inswtek t l . r It will be noted that the increase of farm values is considerably greater in Quebec thn,n in Maine, New Hamp- shire and Vermont, and the improve- ment has been greater in Ontario than in the adjoining state of Michigan. foolish In the Pare of such facts how fa a it is to indulge in wild dreams of a sudden increase in. Canadian farm values as a result of reciprocity, The Price Of Barley, F. ten Orruhee 1, 1890. to August 27, 4891, rtlr Unitwd rtit•,ttal.. do y on barley way 30 rents p.r bushel ,'. ,21, August t July Front � tt u.t 27,894 t i1897, the 'duty was thirty per cent. ad valorem, equivalent to a little aver ten cents per bushel. On July 21, 1897, the specific duty of thirty cents per bushel was restored and it has been continued ever since. Of course during a period of 21 years there would naturally be considerable variations in prices, but for purposes of comparison it will be fair tei take the threeears previous to the re- duction of the dty, the three years during which the low duly prevailed and the first three years after the ditty of thirty cents per bushel was restor- ed. According to the reports of the United States Department of Agri- culture the farm prices of barley averaged 41.20 cents per bushel during 1892, 1893 and 189.4 under a specific duty of thirty cents per bushel. In 1895, 1896 and 1897, under a duty of about ten cents per bushel the farm prices averaged 31.53, while for 1898, 1899 and 1900, under a specific 'duty of thirty cents per bushel, the prices averaged 40 8 cents per bushel, Thus, instead of the Canadian farmer get- ting an increase price for the barley he sent to the United ,States as a result of the reduced duty the price came down in the United States. It is reasonable to draw the con- clusion that •if as a resnit of recipro- city large quantities of Canadian barley, wheat and oats go into the United States, it is more probable.that the American prices will come down than that the Canadian prices will go up. Cigarette Did It. It was a cigarette which caused that fire -horror in New York, But the 150 lives lost in that fire would look small in comparison with the total number of the annual victims of the ciga- rette. Killed By Fall. Walter Core, a well-known farmer of near Forest, fell through the over- lays of the mow of his barn to the floor beneath, bringing about internal injuries which caused his death on Tuesday. Mr. Core, whose farm is on the 16th con. of Bosanquet, had_ gone up in the loft to put feed down, and was going over to another part of the mote on a beam." When partly across he missed his footing and .fell to the barn floor, a distance of 10 feet, being fatally injured. BEARING . DOWN PAINS. What women at sometime or other does not experience these dreadful bearing down pains. Mrs. E. Griffith, of Main St., Hepworth, Ont„ says :- "A heavy bearing -down pain had set- tled across my back and sides. I was often unable to stoop or straighten myself up. Many times each night I would have to leave my bed with the irregular and frequent secretiops of the kidneys and just as 'done out in the morning as on retiring, I was languid and would have to let in house work stand. Nothing I had tried would benefit me. I learned of Booth's Kidney Pills and con- cluded I would try them, which I did, and soon found the long sought relief. My back streng- thened and I be- gan to feel bet- ter and strong- er, Inow enjoy my sleep without being disturbed and feel grateful to Booth's Kidney Pills for what they did for me." Booth's Kidney Pills are a boon to women. She would know less of backaches if she -took more of these wonderful .pills. They are nature's greatest specific for all diseases of the kidneys and bladder. All druggists, 50c box, or postpaid from The R. T. Booth Co., Ltd., Fort Erie, Ont. Sold and guaranteed by J. W.

The jam and the jelly's depleted, The pickle and catsup fade ; There's hardly a taste of chile, And its woe to the marmalade. So why do we doubt it longer, That spring mnst be nearly here - There is no sign like a cellar That is empty, or very near. Two Teams Drowned. While hauling logs across Mill Creek, at Port Elgin last Friday Messrs, P. Cummings and D. Parks lost two- valuable teams of horses. Mr. Cummings breaking through the ice first, called to Mr. Parks for assist- ance. Mr. Parks drove on the ice to hitch an to the drowning team, when they went down, carrying both teams and loads under the ice. Mr. Parks had his team sold to George Craig, of Paisley for $550. Both drivers es- caped. New Fruit District. Some of the `shrewdest men about Forest have formed a syndicate and bought the Miles farm of 95 acres, for, it is said, $10,500. It is proposed to sell it in small parcels for fruit raising purposes. Part of it is already plant- ed in Peaches. On a conservative esti- mate, 60,000 fruit trees will be planted out this year in this neighborhood, The larger part of the planting will be of peach stock. In a few years Nis; gala will be rivalled by this district as a trait centre. A Practical Demonstration, The lnerehants of a certain town in the United States • decided that it would be a good idea to: give the people of their community a practical demonstration of how the mail order business will finally affect local con- ditions. They were perfectly surd that they were giving better value for the money of the residents of the town than could be obtained from the Chicago catalogue housee, particularly when the cost of freight and postage was included in the cost ; but the nr nlber of express parcels constantly arriving proved that the mail order houses were betting considerable hu'iness from people who would not ,take the trouble to investigate the matter, They took steps to learn the names of the patrons of the catalogue houses and planned accordingly, Mrs. Blank, who had purchased a sewing machine from one of the mail order firms, had a daughter about to be married. As her husband was a little short of ready cash, she went to one of the local stores to purchase linen and other goods for her daughter's trous- seau, expecting to obtain the desired credit. The dealer politely declined to part with goods except for spot cash, stating that E. & Co„ from whom she had purchased her machine, would undoubtedly be glad to extend the desired credit, She tried another store and was met with by the polite suggestion. Mrs. Dash, the farmer's wife drove in with butter and eggs. The grocer admitted that the butter was fine and the eggs fresh, but stated that he did not require any ; that probably M. & Co„ of Chicago, would be delighted to send her another box of groceries in exchange for her produce. The other grocers had exactly the same story to tell. When Farmer Dash brought in a load of oats he was offered five cents less than the market price. He pro- tested, but was informed that S. & Co. of Chicago, from whom he bought his harness and blankets, might be will- ing to take his oats, and so he did not take home some clothing, wire fencing and nails that he required. It was not very Iong before people found how much depended upon the business men of the town, and how every individual suffered, when any- thing was done to injure local enter- prise. It is unnecessary to state that the express parcels arriving at that station have appreciably dimin- ished. If the mail order houses really gave better value than local merchants, a man might claim he was entitled to buy in the cheapestand sell .in the dearest market, but experience has demonstrated over and over again that such is not the case. If you buy in small quantities and expect credit from our local merchants, do you expect to get the same prices that you would by buying in large qnantities, cash in advance, from some larger firm ? Give our Wingham merchants a chance to figure on your requirements on the same basis and see if you can- not do as well here, In one case you will find you buy from a picture and pay in advance, and then wait a week for your prize package.. An the other case you buy from the people, you know; you see the goods before you pay one cent. In one case you hurt Wingham and in the other you help Wingham, its schools, its churchesrehes and its institutions. Give the matter a Little thought. The Jardine Confession. Referring to the reported confession of the murder of Lizzie Anderson, by Edward Jardine, the Goderich Star has the following -"The Star has made sufficient enquiry into the story, though finding the local officials who should know the facts in the case, quite uncommunicative and non -com- mittal, to warrent the statement that the story is true, and that when the case comes on for trial the proceedings 'vi11 take a different course from that hitherto anticipated." WINOHAM PUBLIC SCHOOL„ REPORT OP STANDINQ OP PUPILS FOR MONTH QF MARCII, Socialist Legislators. The 14 socialist members of the Wis- consin Legielature live together, as one large family, to save expenses, says the Springfield Republican. They hired a large living -room, big enough to serve as a small hall, in an old business block in Madison, and in this they spend their evenings during the session of the Legislature, con- ferring and studying Iegislation. They sleep in the smaller side rooms. The total cost of the establishment for the 11 men is $25 a month. Of course, that does not include their food, Such legislators are a novelty in our time. It is certain that they are not looking for graft.

WHAT OF THE SPRING.? .A writer in the Weekly Sun gives the following on the above beading "Will the spring be early or late? is everyone's question at present ; a tlliestion none can answer. The re- sult of my observation is that a mild winter is followed by an early spring, and vice versa, My forecast is that seeding will begin about the usual time, viz., April 20, b but that e a e- tation will be late. In this locality pastures were never ea bare as last fall, If this condition was general it will be late, perhaps very late, be- fore there will be pasture enough for. stock. This possibility should make farmers careful of fodder supplies. it also suggests good prices for fat stock daring Ma y and June, In the soti'hern parte of the Pro- vince I believe that the plowing was well forward when winter set in, but in this northern section a very small portion was done. This will tell against a good harvest, and it is very improbable that the next harvest will be anything like the last one, Fall wheat, which only made a weak growth last fall, is going to have a hard time of it, and most likely a lot of reseeding will have to be do nes This should be a good year for spring wheat, especially when it is sown early, as the conditions which are un- favorable for fall wheat are :highly favorable for spring wheat. It should be a good year for clover seeding, and it is to be hoped the high price of clover and timothy seed, coupled with the uncertainty of the fall wheat crop, will not deter readers from sowing •the usual acreage. Where clover flour- ishes the land smiles, and if the grain yield is diminished, the loss is made up when the new clover "reaches up to the bands." Sow clover and see that the seed is covered ; sow it if it takes the last dollar to purchase the seed ; sow if you have to borrow the money to buy, If sheep are animals with "golden hoofs," clover is the plant with "golden roots," and the farmer that cultivates its friendship is bound to succeed." We are so positive our remedy will completely relieve constipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish it free of all cost if it fails. Constipation is caused by weakness of,,the nerves•and muscles of the large intestines or descending colon. To expect a cure you must therefore tone up and strengthen those organs and restore them to healthier activity. We want you to try Rexeil Order- lies on our guarantee. They are eaten like candy, and are particularly ideal for children, They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They have a neutral. action on the other organs or glands. They do not purge or cause any incon- venience :whatever. They will posi- tively overcome chronic or habitual constipation and the myriads of associate or dependent chronic ail- ments.

The Canadian Pacific is making use of about 400 acres of its farm of 4$0 acres lying about 12 miles east of Winnipeg for nursery purposes. The object of this large nursery is to grow trees, shrubs and hardy perennials suitable to Western conditions for use along its line, the trees to be planted for shelter belts along the main line, and the shrubs and peren- nials for the decoration of station garden's of the West. These are to be shipped to seatton foremen and sta- tion agents, who will be instructed by an expert horticulturist how to plant the material, and how to lay it ea to the best advantage. As a side line to the nursery, and for the purpose of crop rotation, vegetables and a email amount of grain are grown each year. As the 0, P.
