BIG CHOPS IN
Good Yields of Wheat' Splendid
Production of Pork Beef
Mutton and Wool
The latest reports give an assur-
ance of good grain crops throughout
most of Western Canada where the
wheat oats and barley are now being
harvested about ten days earlier than
last year Manitoba Saskatchewan
and Alberta are all “doing their bit”
In a noble ' way towards furnishing
food for the allies - -
While the total yield of wheat will
not be as heavy as In 1915 there
are indications that It will be an aver-
age crop In 'most of the districts
A letter received at the St Paul office
of the Canadian Government from a
farmer near Della Alberta says har-
vest in that district Is one month
earlier than last year Hla wheat crop
Is estimated at 35 bushels per acre
while some of his neighbors will have
more The average in the district will
be about 30 bushels per acre Now
with the price of wheat In the neigh-
borhood of $2 per bushel It Is safe to
say that there will be very few farm-
ers but will be able to bank from for-
ty to fifty dollars per acre after pay-
ing all expenses of seeding harvest-
ing and threshing as well as taxes
The price 'of land In this district Is
from $25 to $30 per acre What may
be said of this district will apply to
almost any other In Manitoba Sas-
katchewan or Alberta Many farmers
have gone to Western Canada from
the United States In the past three or
four years who having purchased
lands had the pleasure of completing
the payments before they were due
They have made the money out of
their crops during the past couple of
years and If they are as successful In
the future as In the past they will
have put themselves and their families
beyond all possibility of lack of
money for the rest of their lives ft
is not only In wheat that the farmers
of Western Canada are making money
Their hogs have brought them wealth
and hogs are easy to raise there — bar-
ley Is plentiful and grass abundant
and the climate just the kind that
hogs glory in The price is good and
likely to remain so for a long time
A few days siace a farmer from
Daysland Alberta shipped a carload
of hogs to the St Paul market and
got a higher price than was ever be-
fore paid on that market Two mil-
lion three hundred and seventy-seven
thousand two hundred and fifty dol-
lars was received at Winnipeg for
Western hogs during the first six
months of this year 181575 hogs
were sold at an average price of $15
per cwt and had an average weight
of 200 pounds each The raising of
hogs Is a profitable and continually
growing Industry of Western Canada
and this class of stock is raised as
economically here as anywhere on the
North American continent There Is
practically no hog disease and Im-
mense quantities of food can be pro-
duced cheaply
It has been told for years that the
grasses of Western Canada supply to
both beef and milk producers the nu-
tritive properties that go to the devel-
opment of both branches The stories
that are now being published by
dairymen and beef cattle men verify
all the predictions that have ever been
made regarding the country's Im-
portance In the raising of both beef
and dairy cattle The sheep Industry
Is developing rapidly At a sale at
Calgary 151453 pounds of wool were
disposed of at sixty cents a pound
At a sale at Edmonton 60000 pounds
were sold at even better prices than
those paid at Calgary The total clip
this season will probably approximate
two million pounds Many reports
are to hand showing from six to eight
pounds per fleece 35 carloads were
sent to the Toronto market alone—

The Need
of Divine
Guidance
By REV B B SUTCLIFFE
Of th Extension Department Moody
Bible Institute Chicago
TEXT— Then I proclaimed a fast
that we might afflict ourselves before God
to seek of Him a right way— Ezra 8:21
Perhaps today as never before the
Christian needs to be Instructed by
God as to the
right way There
are three great
reasons why di-
vine guidance ia
needed
I Because of
what wa are by
nature
First of all we
nre Ignorant It
Is unpopular but
true that “It Is
not in man that
wulketh to direct
his step s” So
said Jeremiah
long years ago
And history shows
all too dearly that the way that seems
right to a man ends in death and dis-
aster There is no way of knowing
what will take place on the morrow or
even within the next hour An explor-
er or a tourist going Into a strange un-
known country will want guidance as
to what lies before him We take
much care In securing all' the Infor-
mation we can before starting Into
new territory Many( think It neces-
sary to prepare for passing to the un-
known land beyond the grave but af-
ter all each new day brings such dan-
gers and such opportunities that to be
ready for them needs to have the eet
guided into the right way
Then by nature man Is so self-willed
and self-sufffclent he needs a higher in-
telligence than his own to guide him
This is humiliating but agnla history
tells the fruth Ever since Cain In his
self-will chose the wrong way it has
been true thut “the way of a man Is
forward and strange” as the Proverb
says Moses knew something of this
when he declared In his last word to
the people in Deut 30 :29 “I know that
after my death ye will utterly turn
aside from the way and ell will befall
you”
Agnln we are so prone to wander
from the right way As the prophet
says “All we like sheep have turned
everyone to his own way” Like sheep
we wander go astray and without
sense keep on going further and furth-
er nstruy
II Because of the Character of the
Way Before Us
It Is a difficult way for the Chris-
tian in these times Bogs and mire
are on either side and the way dally
grows narrower The muster himself
warns us In Matt 7:13 14 thut “wide
is the gate and broad the way thnt
leadeth to destruction and strait Is
the gute and narrow the way which
leadeth unto life and few there be that
find it” So difficult Is the way before
the Christian beset by the snares pit-
falls and straps of Satan and so
strewn with the allurements and at-
tractions of the world that left to him-
self he would surely come to destruc-
tion He needs always the guidance
of the one who alone knows all the
difficulties and how to pass them Not
only difficult but dangerous is the way
III Because of What the Lord le as
Guide
He knows all the way that lies un-
tried and unknown before the Chris-
tian’s feet He is omniscient It was
the Lord not Moses who led the peo-
ple of Israel of old and it is the Lord
who would guide his people in safety
today A story is told of a little boy
from which we all may learn During
a storm a mother sought to rescue a
family of six children As the water
burst open the door of her home she
tied her baby on her shoulder and took
a boy of six in her arms To her fourteen-year-old
daughter site said “you
must eniy one child” “Which one”
said the girl The mother looked at
the two one of four one of two un-
able to choose Ben her boy of eleven
said “Ma I’ll take the little one”
“No my boy you can’t” “I know 1
can’t” said Ben “but Jesus can”
“The wuter Is too deep for you” the
dispnlring mother said “It’s deep for
true” answered the hoy “hut Jesus is
a tall umn” They started the mother
calling to her children hut soon Ben
reused to answer The mother and
the others soon reached a place of
safety When the tide went down
next (lay little Ben trumped to them
and put his little charge into the moth-
er’s arms Hud he followed her the
night before he would soon linve been
beyond his depth But unconsciously
he had turned uside Und followed a
bank thnt years before had marked a
boundary The water was to bis waist
und n step or two on either side would
have been futul
And he enn keep the Christian in
the way ns well ns put hinr on it He
is the Almighty one One day is no
harder for 1dm than another Though
there he days black with discourage-
ment and foreboding and care he
knows it all and cun keep within the
narrow way that lends to life and
light nnd Joy A story Is told of an
Alpine guide who put out his hand
for a traveler to step up by When
lie traveler hesitated the guide said
'this hand never lost a man" To ull
vim will listen our guide suys “I will
old thy right hand saying fear thou

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus to it lift
off with finger
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before says this
Cincinnati authority because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender aching corn or callus stops
soreness at once nnd soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it con be
lifted off root nnd all without pain
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store but will posi-
tively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus This should be tried as It
is inexpensive and is said not to Irri-
tate the surrounding skin
If your druggist hasn’t any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house — adv

under which it is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now engaged m the wheat fields of Okla-

over into Canada with the privilege of later returning to the United States when the crops in the
United States have been conserved and help to save the enormous crops in Canada which by that
time will be ready for harvesting
