In Four Staples Alone the Farm-
ers of Western Canada Pro-
duced 408 Million Dol-
lars in 1915.
The Calgary (Alberta) printers bnv«
a house organ, called "The Magnet,"
and In Its columns a few weeks ago
appeared an article entitled "Who's Got
the moneyV” It was cleverly written,
and but for its length, the writer would
have been pleased to have copied the ar-
ticle In Its entirety. The puritose for
which this article Is published, how-
ever, that of letting the rentiers of the
paper know of the great progress that
Is being made In agriculture In West-
ern Cannihi, w ill In'served by copying a
portion of the article. Many of the
renders of this paper doubtless have
friends In one of tin- three provinces—
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta,
ntnl they will be Interested In feeling
that their friends are enjoying a
portion of tin- wealth that has come
to Western Canada farmers as a re-
sult of careful tilling of a soil prodi-
gal tn everything that goes to make
good grain, cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep.
Reproducing from the article:
The Government does not produce
money. It can stamp “One Dollar" on
a slip of white paper, and we accept
It nt n dollar’s worth, hut neither the
paper nor the printing are worth a
copper. What gives It value Is the
promise of the people of Canada which
stands behind the printed slip, and our
faith In that promise.
Now do you know who’s got the
money?
Let us put It Into figures. The farm-
ers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba last year raised 1142,048,000
bushels of wheat. If we take for an
average 8T» cents a bushel in Manitoba,
81 cents In Saskatchewan, and 79 cents
In Alberta the season’s wheat crop was
worth $280,029,000. Add to this nn
oat crop of 334,840,000 bushels,
worth $95,457,000; a barley crop of 35,-
j 254,200 bushels, worth $15,871,000, and
a flux crop of 10,559,000 bushels worth
$15,843,000, and you find that on these
four staples alone the fanners of West-
ern Canada produced a wealth of
$407,800,000.
Blouse note that this wealth Is In
money. It Is not tn real estate at In-
flated values, Industrial stocks that are
half water and the rest air, fictitious
goodwills or unsaleable merchandise.
It Is In hard cash, or—which Is better
—hard wheat.
These figures are only for the staple
grain productions. They do not In-
clude the millions of dollars represent-
ed by the live stock and dairying Indus-
tries, or the additional millions Includ-
ed In the root, fruit, and garden crops.
The creameries of Saskatchewan, for
Instance produced more , buttermilk
and Ice cream last year than their
total production amounted to six years
ago. The milk, butter, and cheese pro-
duction of Alberta for 1915 was valued
at over eleven million dollars. The po-
tato crop of the three provinces was
worth five millions and a half. Corn
and nlfulfn—comparatively new crops,
charged with tremendous possibilities
—amounted to over a round million.
Even honey—you didn’t know we
raised honey (the bee kind) In this
country, did you? Manitoba produced
105,000 pounds in 1915, and there Isn’t
a bee In the province that doesn’t
swear he’s a better honey-sorter than
anything in California or Washington.
That's where the money Is; In the
jeans of our honest friend the farmer,
who was too slow to get Into the cities
when the rest of us suw short-cuts to
wealth ; who hadn’t Imagination enough
to think a mun can make money with-
out earning it, nnd who wus too dull
to know that hard work Is foolish.
Well, he has the laugh now. Likewise
the money.—Advertisement.

Advice to Sportsmen.
When in doubt treat your guide like
a human being. Consult him from the
start even in niuklng up the grub
stake; it flatters him and you may
learn something.
I’lun the next day’s program with
him, and remember that be is carry-
ing the ennoe and not you, and that It
is hnrd work in warm weather.
If any habit needs correction, do It
as near the start as possible, but in a
tactful, frank way.
Don’t wait until your guide has
turned In nnd is rapidly moving into
dreamland before asking hlui to go
down to the spring for water.
Don’t ask your guide to break the
game and fisheries laws, or encourage
him to take a wee drapple too much
heatherdew.
Make a chum of him and you will
be rewarded.
