CINCINNATI, NO. 12--1922. 3 FARM CHEAP LAND Why Western Canada Agriculturists Are Smiling. Low Overhead Expense and Bountiful Crops Have Enabled Them to Overcome Agricuitural Depression. 1 The recent agricultural depression brought to the eyes of the world the fact that one of its basic industries was likely to suffer a severe blow unless steps were taken to secure a reluedy.
Physician after physician ADplied remedies, but even parliamentarians and newspapers were unable to place their finger on the pulse that would respond. As it appears today, It was A spasmodic wave due to the ebb and flow of the tide of readjustment that was bound to follow al disturbance such as the Great War caused. Psychologically It was bound to change; there was certain to be a reflex movement that would bring agricultural conditions back to the place where they normally and rightly belong. Efficiency and sound business Judg. ment are needed more In agriculture today than ever before and are as important to the farmer as to a railroad company, or to a greut steel corporation.
The farmer must endeavor to secure an equal footing in the competition for a lower cost of production. In Western Canada the farmer has come through the dark era with that fortitude and determination so pecullar to a new country, and is meeting the chunged situation with energy and a Amile. In Western Canada the farmer is not hampered by 211 annual overhend expense of beavy Interest on high-priced land. He is able to produrre at A minimum, because his land value seldom exceeds $50 an nore. Owing to the fact that he is farming land the price of which 1s from.

Ing him an added advantage in reducIng the cost of production. The corn thnt. the farmer fully expected to bring him over a dollar a bushel, he saw carried away to the market, and bring back a 30 or 40 cent check. Wheat for the whole of Canada averaged 86 cents a bushel in 1921 as compared with $1.62 in 1920; onts 37 cents as against 53 cents; barley 47 cents as against 83 cents. Other grain prices similarly fell.
While other parts of the continent, where grain-growing is carried on, have suf. fered in like manner by. deflation in prices. they have had to face a much higher cost in production. such as high rents, high-priced farms, and high taxes.
Farmers had calculated on receiving war or nearly war figures for their grain and therefore were amply justified in submitting to the tax that soaring land prices set upon them. Western Canada fortunately did not suffer from inflated land prices. Therefore, when grain prices fell, the losses sustained were not so great; they did not cut out the margin of profit, excepting in some cases where some climatic conditions caused it.

One day I went skating. The creek was about a mile away from home. After I had been skating for some time It began to snow very hard.

LIVE STOCK FACTS INTEREST IN BETTER SIRES Records Show Campaign for Purebreds Has Extended to All States and Island Possessions.
(Prepared by the Tr.ited States Department of With exactly 5,000 persons enrolled in the "Better Sires-Better Stock" campaign at the close of the calendar year 1921, records of the United States Department of Agriculture show a continued interest in this work which has extended to all states and several Island possessions. During the year the number of live stock owned by the persons enrolled Increased from about 100,000 to 750,000. The figures include both male and female stock. All of the males are purebred, And the females, which may be of varied breeding, are bred in all cases to purebred sires. It is noteworthy that 56 per cent of all female stock listed in the better sires campaign are purebred.
This figure is 1 per cent higher than a year ago. The -effect of the use of purebred sires in reducing the number of scrub aniinals oll farms is shown by the small proportion of scrubs in herd: and flocks headed by purebred males The figure at the end of the calendar year 1920 was 2.1 per cent and for 1921, 1.9 per cent scrubs in such herds. At the request of several state extension workers a special report has been made for the last three months of 1021 with respect to progress by states. Enroliments of persons agree ing to put their live stock on a pure bred-sire basis totaled 716. The greatest activity during the quarter 1'AS in Ohio, Nebraska coming next, followed In turn by Washington, Virginia, Kentucky.
and North Dakota, In the order named. The leading counties during the quarter were Hardin County, Ohio, with 100 persons signing enrollment blanks. Kittitas County, was second, with 56 enrollments: Bolmont County, Ohio, 49: Grand Forks County, N. 47. Other active counties Castor, 800-Pound Registered Morgan Horse.
were Ellis, Gallla, Ohio; and Lewis, Wash. These results make Hardin County, Olio, with a total of 160 enrollments, the third highest county in the United States, the first and second being l'ulaski County, 446, and Greenville, S. 170. The widespread interest in the use of purebred sires as a means of innproving live stock is evident from the number of counties where the wort has already gone forward. Live stock owners in 548 counties, and, In addltion, in the islands of Guam and Poro Rico, were participating in the work at the end of the calendar year.

Daddy's Evening taury Tale 4 1 MARY COPYRIGHT GRAHAM BONNER ST UNION JACKIE JAGUAR 1 3 "Bay one who is interested in the wars of the Jaguar family will be glad to hear my story," said Jackie Jaguar. "I cannot imagine any one who would not be interested in the story," he continued, "for to me the Jaguar family is such an interesting family. "Perhaps other families feel the salve way about their family history and that I can easily understand. But of course I ain not much interested in the histories of other families, though other families interest me.
"For example I like birds if they're of good size, and I like nice small animals. I don't like them for friends you understand. "I don't Invite them to supper or to spend the night with me, though in a way I do. "I mean that I do not Invite them to supper or to spend the night and give them good food und lend them my best nightgown. "In the first place I haven't any best night-gown or any night-gown for that matter.
I do not care about such things. I don't even bother to have a tooth brush. Not a bit of it. "So, of course, even if I felt friendly enough to offer visitors my best nightgown I wouldn't have 8 best nightgown to offer them. "But I don't even offer them food.
Why? Because I do not feel generous in that way. "I prefer to eat them myself! Yes, that is the way I have friends for supper or to spend the night. That is the way Jackle Jaguar does. He Is sensible that way. Why should I waste my food when I needn't.
do. such a thing? "I don't! That is my answer to that question. And why should I entertain them and give them a party? "I don't! That is my answer to the second question. I go forth a-hunting at night. Night is the time I enjoy.
Have Decorations." Then I look for food, and sometimes In the early morning I do my marketIng for eggs. "So many creatures go marketing for eggs. Some go to the market, some go to their back yards. But I go along the coast and get the eggs which the sea turtles have kindly left for me. "That is a joke.
They haven't been SO kind at all. They haven't left these eggs for me, not a bit of it. They do not mean that I should have their eggs. But do you suppose I mind a little thing like that? "Not 8 bit of it. I get their eggs whether they mean them for me or not.
That shows I'm not a sensitive creature, wanting to be asked and urged if 1 will not have some eggs. I just take then without any asking. "They say that we're wild and dangerous. But we don't go after people at all. No.
though people are afraid of us we don't bother about them. "We leave them quite alone. And I'll tell you something else. We're really rather cowardly and not In the least ready to take dungerous chances. "We're rather shy too.
We're like the mountain lions In this way. We're shy as they are and also we're a bit cowardly as'they are. "But why should we be brave? It is all right for some creatures to be brave, but the Jaguar doesn't want to take wild chances. "We're handsome creatures. Now I wear a beautiful brownish yellow coat.
It's A very handsome coat indeed. I have decorations upon my coat of black spots and rosettes too. That shows how fond I am of style! "I belong to the great cat family. Everyone knows about the cats. "Of course ordinary cats are tame.
I heard some one telling a story of a black cat with pale green eyes who jumped up in the lap of a lady who was wearing a bunch of flowers. This cat snifed at the flowers AS he sat In the lady's lap and nudged up against her and wanted to be petted. "Jackie Jaguar wouldn't be so silly. Jackie Jaguar doesn't bother about! petting and sitting in a lady's lap. I fancy that ladles wouldn't care, for us to sit In their laps either.
I belleve that to be the truth. "But we don't care, for we lore the great wild forests, and we like the jungles, yes, Jackie Jaguar is a jungle animal, and the same is true of the whole family."
