And that productiveness resolves itâ€" s.lf into smd is measured by the reâ€" sults® of the harvest. Th> tendâ€"n>y to gradually introduce mixed farminz is quite noticeable this year, especially in Alberta. This proâ€" paganda is being vigorously pushed by the Provincial authorities, and will te adopted very soon in Alberta which is very _ well suited for cattle _ and bog raising, and more slowly in _ the southern part of Saskatchewan So when an Eastern man â€" returns from a trip over the great plains â€" of the West, the first question asked of him usually is, ‘"What are the crop prospects?" My answer this time is that I never saw them look better. Thero are variations, of course. In a stretch of nearly one thousand â€" miles from East to West naturally thete are divergencies of climate, of rain _ fall, or soil, and not least, of quality of farmin:. But almost everywhere this year, the good farmet has what he deservesâ€"a good crop, and the poot farmer gets what he deserves _ too. Not in every instance, though, for the terrible bail storm is no respecter of persons. It smites with impartial desâ€" tructiveness, the just and the unjust, the _ good farmer and | the slovenlyâ€" ind it smites very hard. Thore is onâ€" Iy one remedy for this and that is bail insurance which I understand is very genâ€"‘ral‘y in vogue awon;st our West ern ‘{armers. The mother of the deceased, .
