CROPS ALL GOOD
Western Canada Farmers Jubi-
lant Over Prospects.
Harvest In Southwestern Manitoba
Expected to Come Close to
Bumper Yield of 1915.
Those who have friends In Western
Capadu will be anxious to learn of
the conditions there, and will be In-
terested In knowing that generally the
crop prospect Is very favorable. Cut-
ting and harvesting have become gen-
eral, and It Is anticipated that the re-
sults which will appear when thrash-
ing Is completed will be highly satis-
factory. <
With the widely varying weather
conditions that have prevailed In the
different sections of the prairie prov-
inces It would be Impossible to fore-
cast with any degree of accuracy as to
how the crop Is made. The Manitoba
crop has field Its own, and the outlook
for the province as a whole Is decided-
ly good.
With the exception of an area south
and west of Hrandon, grain crops In
Manitoba continue to give promises
of a good harvest, the best in fact for
a number of seasons, reports the Cana-
dian National Railways for the week
ended July 22. Recent rains and favor-
able temperatures have Improved con-
ditions wonderfully.
Southwestern Manitoba will reap a
harvest which will nearly equal the
fcumper harvest of 1915. Farmers In
the district are very optimistic. The
rye crop Is exceptionally good; many
fields will yield upwards of 30 bushels
per acre. The fields are remarkably
free of weeds, and the grasshopper
menace, which has been evident In the
southwestern portion of the province
for the past three years, has been
almost entirely obliterated. No dam-
age has been done to the wheat crop
by rust, and the oats crop will aver-
age more than 60 bushels to the acre.
In Saskatchewan there are large
areas where the crops are excellent.
In places where the prospects some
few weeks ago were not encouraging,
material change for the better Is ap-
parent. In these places unusually dry
weather during a portion of the grow-
ing season kept the crops back, but
what was most remarkable was the
effect that the spring moisture had.
While light In some places, this mois-
ture kept sufficient strength in the
growing crops to ensure a fair yield
of a good quality of grain. This con-
dition arises in the mid-central dis-
tricts of tfie province.
The southern portions of the prov-
ince have been exceptionally favored,
reports showing that the yield of all
grains will be wonderfully good.
The crops of all Saskatchewan are
a week or ten days later than those
of Manitoba.
Conditions in Alberta are^ald to be
good, especially in southern Alberta,
where copious and plentiful showers
came in time to give assurance of
good paying yields. This applies to
tiearly all sections of that district.
Northern Alberta, or at least that
portion of It lying within thirty miles
of Edmonton, has suffered from lack of
moisture, a very unusual thing for
that district, where there Is generally
an abundance. As a result, the heavy
yields of wheat, oats and barley for
which the district Is noted will'show
considerable falling off over past years.
The grain, though, Is of excellent
quality and the yield will l>e fair.
Pasturage Is poor, and the hay crop
will fall short of that of any previous
year for quite an extended period.
On the whole, the prairie provinces
©f Western Canada will have a crop
that will wurrant the statement that It
will prove satisfactory and remuner-
ative.
A number of farmers put In corn
♦his year, and from present appeai>
ances there is a likelihood of au
abundant yield for fodder and ensi-
lage, while a good deal of It will fully
mature. A number of silos were
erected this season. While gruln grow-
ing Is losing none of its Interest, It
is highly pleasing to note the number
of farmers who are adding dairying to
the grain growing industry.—Adver-
tisement.

PROPER METHOD OF FLY CONTROL
IS TO PREVENT MULTIPLICATION

A mixture of cheap "black-strap" mo-
lasses and water Is an economical and
effective bait for the house-fly. One
part molasses Is mixed with three
parts water. Bugar-beet or "stock
molasses" Is fairly attractive In re-
gions whpre it is produced. Brown-
sugar sirup allowed to ferment Is good

A small amount of vinegar added has-

should be used. Milk on dairy farm*

Fly-traps have a distinct place In the
control of the house fly and other
noxious fly species, although the lim-
itations of fly-traps must be recog-
nized and other methods of control
also practiced. The bureau of ento-
mology, United States Department of
Agriculture, points out that the logical
method of fly control Is to prevent
multiplication, by proper attention to
•breeding places.
The two main ways In which fly-
traps are valuable are by catching
flies that come to clean premises from
Insanitary places and by capturing
flies that have escaped from other
means of destruction. Neafly all fly-
traps are made on the same general
principle, although they may appear
quite different. The flies are attracted
by bait, odors, or light Into a cage
with a large entrance and an exit too
small to be easily found, which Is
often made by using a cone-shaped
passage.
Two Chief Classes of Flies.
There are two chief classes of flies
that can be caught In traps—those
that breed In animal matter or become
a pest to ^ive stock, and those that
breed in vegetable as well as in animal
matter. The former consist mainly of
the so-called blow-flies, including the
screw-worm fly; in the latter group
the house fly is by far the most Im-
portant. It Is attracted to almost any
moist material, especially that having
an odor.
The general principle involved in
nearly all fly-traps is modified to fit
different conditions, as in the window
trap, which catches the flies as they
endeavor to enter or leave a building;
The garbage can trap, and the manure
box trap, which retains flies bred from
infested manure already In the box.
Light Is an Important factor In the
success of all traps, for flies hpve a
marked tendency to go toward the
light.
While many commercial traps are on
the market, anyone with a few tools
can construct traps at a small frac-
tion of the sale price of ready-made
ones. The conical hoop trap, which
appears from extensive tests to be
most effective, durable, easily made,
and repaired, can also be made quite
cheaply. It consists of a screen cylin-
der with a barrel-hoop frame contain-
ing a serpen cone Inside. The total

THE STRIPED EFFECT GOWN
Material Enters Field aj Rival of
Oldtime Lingerie Dress; Prom-
ises to Be Favorite.
There Is a new development In sum-
mer clothes, cites a correspondent in
the New York Tribune. It lies In the
sheer ^aorgette crepe frock which, en-
tering the field as a rival of the old-
time lingerie dress, it promises to
gather unto itself many of the follow-
ers of the frock of batiste, handker-
chief linen or voile.
Thut there Is always something
new under the sun is proved every
season In Paris. Dressmakers are
creating exquisite types of lingerie
dresses that are distinctly new. They
are in washable styles, but are made
of georgette crepe instead of cotton
or linen, and, in addition to their
dainty frills of fluted lace, they are
often delicately embroidered with
beads. In former summers chiffon
was used for Informal evening wear
or dressy afternoon frocks. Gowns
of this material were made with
flowing draperies or ruffles. Now they
are In simple chemise Effects trimmed
with ruffles and Valenciennes lace, as
well as with cotton and porcelain
beads so much In evidence at the
present time.
Two shades are favored, one known
as biscuit and the other, a similar
shade, only darker, known as pain
brule, or burnt bread, shade. Laces
are dyed In shades to match the
a Good Catch
Is the next choice to cane molasses as
a cheap and convenient attractant.
The curd from the milk combined with
brown sugar and water is a very good
bait. The best bait containers are
broad and shallow rather than deep.
Traps must be properly cared for and
placed In suitable locations. The bait
containers must be kept well filled and
also frequently washed out. Traps
should be emptied of dead flies at
least once a week.
Sticky fly papers and poisoned halts
have their uses In fly control as well
as traps, and it is advised that Farm-
ers' Bulletin 851 be ronsuited for fur-
ther information on house-fly control,
and Farmers' Bulletin 857 for addi-
tional measures to be used against the
screw-worm fly and other flies infest-
ing wounds In stock and those that
blow soiled wool in sheep.

A modification of thta trap that ran

LATEST FASHIONS IN VEILS
Face Coverings That Are Thrown Back
Are Popular; Fancy Meshes
for Fall Wear.
Outing veils that are worn thrown
back from the face are at the height
of their glory. It is notable that
while brilliant colors are shown there
are many more of the beige tones ex-
ploited and worn. It is not In the
heavy mesh that these veiis are seen,
but women seem to prefer the light-
er mesh that does not give the effect
of a Shetland.
Fancy meshes are forerunners of the
veils which will soon be shown in the
shops for autumn—all of the novel
weaves used In combination. Some
of these meshes are already on view,
| these combination meshes that were
i brought out last autumn and which
have lasted through the winter and
spring still will be good for the next
season.
These are the striped effects in
combination meshes, the 9!et used
with the hexagon or octagon, or per-
haps not in the allover striping, but In

tion.

Statistics Show That Number of An-
imals Has Increased and Con-
sumption of Milk Is Much
Greater Than Ever Before.
When extrusive campaigns against
tuberculosis of cattle were launched
many persons interested In the Hairy
business predicted that givitig public-
ity to such conditions would alarm the
consumer and reduce the consumption
of milk ami dairy products. But In-
stead of producing this result, says the
L'uited States Department of Agricul-
ture, the increasing efforts to improve
the health of herds have inspired more
faith iu the safety aud value of fowls
t'rom the dairy cow. Hundreds of
towns have made tuberculosis regu-
lations to provide for clean herds and
to make milk wholesome ami publicity
has been given to the various kinds of
work done by cities, counties, states,
and the Department of Agriculture.
As a result of this work to Improve
the health of the dairy cow, statistics
show that the number of cows has
Increased and the consumption of milk
Is greater than ever bofore.
In recent months the most encour-
aging development Iu the work of
eradicating this great cattle disease
has been the number of counties that
have mnde a complete clean-up of the
herds on every farm. This area work
Is demonstrating that complete eradi-
cation Is not b dream bu « practical
possibility. The expe' S" will be paid
for by more eflHient herds and better
products.
F.arly Fall Showings by Makers Stress
the Silhouette; Modification
of Recent Seasons.
Early fall showings of apparel man-
ufacturers give some Insight Into next
season's styles. All makers are stress
ing the new silhouette, w'ulrh Is essen-
tially straight. It really Is nut a now
silhouette as much us it is a modifica-
tion of the silhouette of recent sea-
sons. The coats i.re large at the top
and through the shoulders, hut are
straight from the vuist down. They
do not taper in as did the dolmans of
two seasons ego.
Sleeves still 'ire the Important fea-
ture of the couts and wraps aud are
of greater proportions than they were
on the spring garments. The sleeves
ure being set iu extremely deep arm-
holes, some of them extending below
the hip line, says Dry Goods Econo-
mist. Voluminous cuffs i.i fancy styles
are liked, but tbe need ot something
warm and practical has not been over-
looked. for Inner sieevele's of the lin-
ing are gathered smugly at the wrists
to keep out wintry breezes.
The top coats a- made on swagger
lines of heavy men's wear materials.
Double-faced stuffs ure very smart for
sports and motor coats. Mixtures with
plaid backs ure tntde on mannish lines
with odd patch pockets, belts and
Inverted plaits. Very often collars
of some durable fur are added, making
^hem suitable for wear all through the
winter season. Breast pcckets cut In
sailor fashion are seen on many models.
In the main the coats are beltless
except for the knockabout coats and
; conservative street coats.
The sleeves are really the Important
| feature of the new coats. With the
.simplicity of the straight lines of the
| rest «>f the coat it looks as if the de-
[ signers bail given all of their atten-
tion to the sleeves. Sometimes tight
hands of fur at the wrist merely ac-
j comitate the wide bell sleeve Tassels,
embroidery and fringe are all used to
[ embellish sleeves, which In their size
and slui|>e are already ornamental.
Fine Points in Fitting Hats.
The fancy for placing the trimming
; of the brim, and leaving the lines of
the crown perfectly plain, makes it
necessary to make sure that these
lines suit the shape of the head, for
they are not disguised In any way.
Too small a crown will make the face
look broad, while an exaggeration of
| the size will give a "top-heavy" look
which is strictly to be avoided. These
are the fine points of millinery which
are so well understood by the modiste
; of reputation, who insists on almost as
many fittings as her sister, the dress-
maker.

Amundsen's Ultimate Object.
Captain Amundsen's plan is to make
his base at Cape Barrow. From
thence he proposes to cover by the
air route the 1,275 miles to the North
pole. His ultimate goal Is Cape Col-
umbia another 485 miles distant, mak-
ing a total distance of 1,760 miles.
As he will doubtless be compelled to
deviate from the straight course, this
estimates that he will cover approxi-
mately 2,000 miles. Just how he will
recognize the actual pole Is not quite
clear, as It Is not distinguished by any
particular physical features. He will,
however, be able to discover what
chances there are for carrying out his
projected drift In a vessel across the
polar basin which Is his main pur-
pose In flying over the top of the
earth.
