Any one, be . he farmer or would-be farmer, American or Canadian, is welcome to attend the meetings or to appeal to the association for infor mation at other times. A splendid program has been prepared, the ' speaker being men who are . au- . thorities on the subject, thej will present, and discussions, open to all, will be in order. Not only do tha farmer, hear the subjects well treat ed from the expert's standpoint, but they may ask him to aolve the per sonal problems each has encountered. Maple Creek, the, scene of the com ing convention, is an example of what irrigation does for a com munity. - In 1883 tbe Canadian Pacific cam through and with it the first families of Maple Creek. These early set tlers brought a few cattle that sooa grew tnto mighty herd, that roamed the) nnfenced prairies, Saskatchewan at that tun was only a grazing country and it wa. not until 190$ that farming made headway. Simple 1 irrigation schemes brought watur, : from the Cypres. Hills and sooa Erairie grasses were supplanted by elds of srain and the herd, were moved on to allow the reapers plenty of room. Today there are 190 irriga tion schemes in operation and tha 1918 grain crop marketed at Mapla Creek amounted to S2-&00.QQO coud not have anything to do with it at this distance, it is figured out it must be the dry spell. Just how badly the prunes are being hurt cannot be determined, but in some instances whole trees re affected, while at other place, there is only small damage. The word is Hooverisse, not econo mize.
