It is iutended to commence work on
the project as soon as sufficient ma-

After citizens give a publiy utility
corporation a frauchise worth mil-
lions is it right for that corpora-
tion to ask a $10 deposit of each cit-

such deposits amounting to thou-

ing capital for many lines of busi-
ness'.' That is a question which has
been put up to the state corporation
commission by the people o£ Mc-

Last August there visited the Cana-
dian west the vice-president of the
largest Individual hardware company
lu (he United States. As his llrm have
a turnover of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm Implements, this
man took a deep Interest In crop con-
ditions in Canada, und on his return
lie embodied his flndl igs lu an article !
fur the Hardware Reporter. This ar-
ticle should be of special Interest to
farmers.
The writer apeaka of the Importance
of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might ulao have spoken
of the Importance of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, a  well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great suc-
cess, and experiments have Bhown
that It can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov-
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. Hut apart from this, the
spring wheat crop la the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character of this
cereal arid the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article;—
"In a laud of such great sweep, and
of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm-
ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the Interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
It Is the one absorbing topic of Inter-
est and of conversation during its
growing and its harvesting, for upon
Its success or failure hangs the weal
or woe of a large part of the Domlu-
Ion. Its influence extends far down
Into the United States, drawing thou-
sands of farmers northwards with the
lure of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provlrces. calling the
flower of their young men to its op-
portunities. Development In these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres-
sure for everything hnugs on the out-
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all-
Important crop, and each year there
Is further Incursion Into those north-
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Cauadiau Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail In the
coffin of that aucient Malthusiaa de-
lusion that population teuds to outrun
the means of subsistence, since the
only tear now among Canadian econ-
omists is as to the danger of over-
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent of
possible amble lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promisee to
he close to 200,000,000 bushels, so
i hat your Imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out-
come."
During the months of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of a 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real-
ized, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.
