Back From Canadian West
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Holmes have
returned romotheir triD to the Cal-
fjrarf) district in Alberta, having spent.
an enjoyable couple of sveeks Pn the
journey. Things are ftjokine good in
th Canadian West jt 'now,. Mr. Uy Mlss Zoe'liragg
iiuiiueaasiaies. n uue cunsiuemuie ui
the crop ground Calgary is poor, there
arc a great many fine fields 'of wheat
that "will yield from twenty-five to
f'rty-five bushels of good grain. The
early part of the season there was
very dry, says Mr. Holmes, but just
before they arrived the whole province
hpd rain that gave them in. 24 hours
two and a third inches of water. They
have had good rains since then, which
have relieved the, feed situation great
ly by freshening up the ranges. 'Feed
is so scarce that owners of large herds
of cattle have had to ship them north
to the Peace River country, and men
with smaller numbers of stock have
had to buy hay in Ontario at $30 a
ton and pay the freight west. The gov
ernment is cooperating with the
smaller farmer to the extent of pay
ing half or two-thirds of the freight.
Mr. Holmes disposed of half a section
of his land but counts on raising a fine
crop of wheat next year on part of
the section he is still holding.
