Seeding of 'wheat is about thirty Per•

ing
toarts e
reaching p Wi nnipeg.- About
75, per cent. seeding is completed in
Southern Alberta, but it is. just.. gets
ting well started in the North. Con-
ditions in. Saskatchewan are somewhat
different from previous years. :The
northern part of the province was the
first to get. on the land , this year.
Thirty per cent. of the seeding has
been completed in the Carrot River
Valley, while grain is above ground
in the Chinook district, west of,Sas-
katoon, and along the Alberta border:
In .Manitoba seeding has been gen-
eral in the Dauphin country for ten
days, while in the southern part of the
province,' which 'is usually the most
advanced, work on the land is just be:
ginning. Floods have prevented farm-
ers.frorn getting, to work around Mor-
den and Emerson, where,' in ordinary
years, the seeding would have been
completed' by this time.
Reports state that all :parts of
Southern Alberta were visited by a
splendid ram on Sunday -afternoon
and night; • At Lethbridge the precipi-
tation measured .36 ineb, but some itis- I
tracts report; heavier rain, while there
was no pact that was not visited. d
It was :the finest spring rain in
years, but it did 'not come before„ it .
was needed, especially in: districts east,
of Lethbridge, where some farmers
were delaying seeding because the soil
was too dry.
Medicine Hat had both rain and.
snow, butthe totalprecipitationwas
heavier than at Lotbbridge, being .50
inch. Calgary has .12 inch, while' Ed-
monten, in which ,district conditions
are very dry, only..04 inch .was record-. i
ed, this falling in the form of snow:
Altogether Sundays' rain brightens
prospects in southern Alberta very
considerably.

journeyed to St. John to welcome the
newcomers accompany them.
From the train comes the skirl of
the pibroch, and the men are singing(
the old Gaelic songs and "tearing the
tartan." On one side of the trains is'
the vast expanse of water with the
hare outline of the hills of Nova Scotia 1
far away. On the other side there is
a high wall of solid rock. -
All rail traffic in and out of St. John
has been moving over the Canadian
National Railway. Thursday after-
noon the National Railway headquar-
ters received the alarming report, just
after the immigrant train had pulled
ut, that a washout had occurred seven
miles up the line, and there was some,
danger to the line. Only the first
steamboat special, carrying cabin pas-
sengers, had crossed the danger spot
when the slide occurred. The ,next
spe.rial was brought to a stop on the
very brink of the sagging railway eai
benkments.
The ocean at this point is some 15
feet from the track. By 9 o'clock re-
ports were received that the washouts
had reached an extent of 1.90 feet, and
.
additional emergency crews were .run
to the danger spot. 1

The Natural Resources Intel-

ment of the Interior says::
The first' discoveryof nickel
in Ontario was in 1848, 'when
the Wallace mine was located,
a short distance west of where
the Whitefish river. enters Lake
Huron, This mine, however,
was not a commercial proposi-
tion and has never been worked.
In 1856 nickel was first re-
ported
•eported from the Sudbury re-
gion, the discovery being made
by A. P. Salter, a provincial
land surveyor.
Since 1856 there has been
produced in the, Sudbury dis-
trict nickel to the value of
9176,700,000, The maximum
output was in 1918, when its,
value was 937,002,917. At the
close of the war, however, the
demand for nickel almost ceas-
ed, and the output declined to
96,752,571 in 1921. With the
improvement in industrial con-
ditions, which has absorbed the
surplus of nickel, the refining
plants are again in, operation,
and the present year promises
a much larger output.
