Area and Conditionof Fall Wheat
•
Owing to the triad winter and the
favourble conditions which prevailed
during the critical menthe of Meech
and April, the fall wheat crop is re-
ported as being exceptionally good on
April 30. In Ontario, where 2 043,000
acres were sown as estimated last tau,
not more than 6.8 p.c, ie reported as
winter killed, and in Alherta, with
230,000aoree estimated as sown, the
proportion winter killed is only() 2 p.c.
These proportions are lower than in
and
year since 1908 00 for Outman a d
lower than in any previous year on re-
cord for Alberta, Last year the per-
centage winter killed was 19 in On-
tario and 15 6 in Alberta, In O,utario
the area winter killed amounts thin.
yr ar to 71,000 acres, and in Alberta to
14,3000 acres, , These figures, deducted
from the areas @own, leave 972 000
acres in Ontario and 215,700 acvee in
Alberta as the acres under fall wheat.
to be harvested. With 10,000 acres in
Manitoba, 4,100 acres in Saskatchewan
and 6,000 acres in British Columbia.
the total area under fall wheat to he
harvested this year amounts to 1,208,
700 acres, as compared with 97$,3000
acres, the area harvested in 1914
Whilst therefore, as previously report-
ed, the area sown to wheat last fall
was 0 per cent more than the area
sown in the fall of 1913, the increased
area to be harvested, the
e owing sog to
email area winter killed, amounts to
24 p.c. Not less satisfactory is the
general condition on April 30, which
measured by the standard of 100, as
representing a full crop, is 93 in On-
tario with 87. For Ontario the figure
is higher than in any year since 1910
when 951 was recorded; for Alberta
this year's condition was only exceed•
ed last year and in 1911. The condition
for the whole of Canada, on April 30
was 91 which, converted into a stan-
dard of 100 as representing the aver-
age condition at the same period for
the WE years 1909 1914, indicates a
condition of 112, or an anticipated
yield per acre of 12 per cent in excess
of the average, provided that condit-
iens between now and harvest are not
abnormal.

PROGRESS OF SPRING SEEDING
It is as Yet too soon to report on the
Maritime provinces, but excellent pro-
gress in the seeding of spring grains is
reported from all the other six pro-
vinces. The spring is early, and as a
general rule the conditions for seeding
have been most favourable. About
double the amount of seeding was ac-
complished this year on April 30 than
was completed on May 6 in 1914. Of
spring wheat 55 p.c. of the total was
finished in Quebec as against • 5 p.c.
last year; in Ontario 73 p.c. against 24
p.c.; in the three western provinces 93
p.c. was completed in Manitoba, 91 p.
c, in Saskatchewan and 91 p.c. in Al-
berta, these proportions being higher
than in any year since 19)0. In Brit-
ish Columbia the percentage is 89. For
all six provinces the proportion of
seeding reported as effected on April
30 was 84 p.c. for wheat, 46 p.a. for
oats, 38 p.c. for barley, and 63 p.c. for -
all crops.

Canadian Medical Men Are Now
Recognized by War Office..
At a banquet tendered recently to
Lieutenant -Col. Walter McKeown,
M.D., and Major John Amyot, M.D.,
who aro going to the front as mem-
bers of the staff of the Base Hospital
of 1,040 beds, which the University
of Toronto will establish in France,
some Interesting facts wero disclosed
as to the part that Canadian doctors
are playing 1n the present war, Dr.
Edmund E. King, au old military
man himself, stated that though g in
the South African war doctors front
, i a
this country went to the scene of
conflict, this was the first time that
Great Britain had accepted from the
overseas dominions hospital corps
that wero units in themselves and
not directly officered by physicians.
chosen from the staff of the War Of-
fice. It showed, he thought, a grow-
ing recognition of the scientific
standing of the men of the Eritisb
colonies that such, should be the
case. It was an outcome of the new
Imperialism. Dr. McKeown also re-
vealed a fact about his colleague
Major Amyot, that is not generally
known to the Canadian public. In
university circles the latter is known.
as one of the greatest living bacter-
iologists, and his discoveries with
regard to the sterilization of water
have not only saved many lives in
Canadian camps in this country and
abroad, but they have been adopted
by the Government of France, and
are about to be adopted by the Brit-
ish War Office. Dr. Amyot though
of French descent is a native of the
city of Toronto. Other speakers
pointed out that the reason Dr. Mc-
Keown and others were going to
France was that there was likely to
be a great shortage of surgical
specialists in the heavy fighting that
was expected in the near future.
That was why men like the latter,
though over military age, and busy
practitioners were making the great
sacrifice, financial and otherwise, in-
volved in going to the scene of con-
flict. It is interesting to note that
the new practice of the British War
Office of giving' medical men mili-
tary rank enables them to exercisea
great deal of authority over soldiers
who are careless in carrying out
sanitary regulations. They can now
order the stupid, refractory man who
refuses treatment or who disobeys
sanitary regulations into solitary
confinement. Tho recognition of the
value of preventive medicine and
rapid expert surgery in war has ma-
terially affected the death rate from
sickness and won- ds in this conflict.
A Scientific Farmer.
Professor Alexander Macphail, of
Queen's University, Kingston, who
has been offered the appointment of
professor of Civil Engineering at the
Royal Military College, in succession
to Professor W. T. Butler, is a bro-
ther-in-law of Dr. Andrew Macphaii,
of Montreal, the well-known physi-
cian and writer. The Macphail's are
Prince Edward Islanders of Scottish
descent, and, although the scenes of
their professional activity are Mont-
real and Kingston, they still retain
an intimate connection with the Is-
land province. Both own farms
there, and both operate them on sci-
entific principles, with the object of
demonstrating to their neighbors the
value of scientific and intensive
farming. Professor Alexander Mac-
phail is still considered so much an
"Islander" that at a provincial bye -
election in November, 1911, he was
elected to the Assembly for the
fourth district of Queen's County as
an Independent Conservative. The
election practically determined the
fate of the then existing Liberal
Government, and at the general elec-
tion the following December, follow-
ing the formation of the present
Government, Professor Macphall was
re-elected by acclamation. He still
holds the seat, but in' the event of
his accepting the Military College
appointment, which is a position
under the Crown, he would have to
resign.
Professor Macpbail was educated
at the public school at his native
place, Orwell, at Prince of Wales'
College, Charlottetown, and at Mc-
Gill University, Montreal. When he
graduated in the faculty of applied
science of the last-named institution
with the degree of B.Sc., he carried
off the Governor -General's Medal.
After his graduation he, for a time,
was engaged with the Geological
Survey of Canada and in railway
work.
War Orders a Boon.
Officials in touch with factory con-
ditions in Ontario are of the opin-
ion that but for the war and the
orders which have sprung therefrom
industrial conditions would have
been in a . more parlous state than
they now are. In order to adjust
themselves to the type of orders aris-
ing from the exigencies of the time,
manufacturers, it is stated, where
this could be done without too much
disorganization, have switched on to
a new line and kept their factories
butiily running. The demand for
skilled mechanics has in consequence
been pressing, and overtime in many
cases, it is said, has had to be re-
sorted to. Openings have not been
so favorable for the unskilled, the
Tush nature of the orders militating
against a "breaking in" policy.

One of the many social problems
created by the war ie the lack of
labour in our countryside, and the
suggestion is being made that the
lack Shall be supplied 1 y the labnur of
children who should be at school.
There have been many protests
against this suggestion -notably by
Bishop Gore, who, in a letter to The
Tires, says that be has just visited
one school where the seven bnys at the
top of the school had been thus with-
drawn. IIe adds :
"I have been endeavoring to ascer-
tain the facts more precisely. Such
inquiry as I have been en able to make
increases the anxiety I cannot but
feel. The ground of tbiset lies
in the consideration that the existing
ehortage is not likely to be temporary.
In other words, I do not believe that
the young men who have enlisted for
the war are likely to return to the
land, uuder the old conditions, after
the war.
"I have taken the opportunity of
consulting a number of clergy who
know the country lade 'e»li. They
have all expressed the sawn opinion.
The lads are already greatly iinproved
by military seivlce and beta:, feeding.
They are greatly pleased sv:th there•
selves. They are tasting w neat seems
to them a more interesting life than
beNice. Whatever they become
after the war, they will tit t 'return to
what they were. It is therefore not a
temporary but a permanent shortage
of labour that has to be met. Ir must
be met, I believe, by improving wages
and conditions so as to attract labour
to the country; and this improvement
had better be begun at once and on a
systematic scale. Also education
should be curtailed, but in every way
improved so as to make rural educe.:
tion a better preparation for rural life,
To meet the shortage by withdrawing
boys prematurely from school on a
large scale is a disastrously reaction-
ary measure, which it will be hard to
reverse."
He Met Marco t?p.ala.
M. de Villemassant, the foun ler
of the Paris Figaro, being, insulted
daily in a Belgian paper by a writer
whose nom de plume was "Marco
Spada," took the train to Brussels,
with two' friends and a pair of
swords. On his arrival he wrote to
"Marco Spada" that at 2 p.m. sharp
he should call on him to arrange an

Fire Hill Indians "Do Their Bit."
It will interest many to know that
enthusiasm for the cause of Great
Britain at the present time is not
confined to our white citizens: The
Indians of the Fire Hill Agency,
miles north of Belcarres, Saskatche-
wan, are an example to many of
paler complexion. Most of the work
on this reserve is done by the young-
er Indians settled in a portion of
the Agency set apart for ex -pupils
of the Government schools. These
young settlers are good farmers and
thirty of them on a section known
as "Colony" raised 100,000 bushels
of wheat in 1913. In 1914, despite
a drought which affected their sec-
tion, the yield was nearly 50,000
bushels. Of their own free will these
young people subscribed to the pa-
triotic fund quantities of wheat and
oats which, when sold by the Indian
agent, Mr. William Graham, realized
$502, an average of about $15 for
each young farmer. Two of them
have also joined the second contin-
gent. The old Indians are also in-
terested in the war. An aged medi-
cine man, Kee Wist, brought to Mr.
Graham a dollar one day, saying,
"It's for the poor, poor people, far
across the big water, who suffer so
terribly from the war." All the old
Indians are very poor, so far as cash
goes, and this sacrifice meant some-
thing. On the reserve, among the
younger men who contributed to the
Patriotic Fund, were two sons and
a nephew of Gabriel Dumont, a lieu-
tenant of Louis Riel in the Rebel-
lion of 1885. The Indian women
have also been busy knitting for the
Red Cross Society, and have a
branch on the reserve. An excellent
brass band, made up from young In-
dians on the Fire Hill Reserve, has,
by giving concerts for white men in
the nearby towns like Belcarres and
Melville, netted over $300 fon the
Belgian Relief Fund.
