oi^iMia- Wdnesday, August 13, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE W. H. THLKSTON, - Editor MILLION VIRKS GOOD CROP THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE / ! Gives Picture Of i Western Conditions We print elsewhere a lamentable picture of crop conditions in Sask- atchewan from the pen of Mr. E. I^eGard. This is a picture that has not been sliown us before and one which must be deplored. The truth about this has evidently been »up- pressel in the interest of financial "bulls," who are in the jrame to make money. The writer charge.'; povernment in- spectors with issuinif false reports. Is he sure that these were jrovern- nient inspectors'.' We would rather imagine that they would be repre- sentatives of financial interests who were gathering information for the purpose of speculation in futures. If the real facts could be suppn'^;^ed un- til their employers loaded up with futures at a low price s nice pot could be made. This is probably what happened, and while the wheat crop is poor the millionaire crop will be good. GARDEN PARTY AT MAXWELL Barber Will Keep "Bobbing" The L.O.B.A. of Maxwell will hold their garden party at Maxwell on It has row come to pass that man WHY TITLi: IS DISCARDED The Prince of Wales is coming to Canada again this month to visit his farm in Alberta, and is travelling by â- way of New York. While on the sea he will retain his title, but on landing will adopt the title he was known by •when on his last visit here, Lord Renfrew. Many people look upon this as nonsensical acrobatic philandering, but there is a very good reason why it is done. Royalty carries with it certain duties and regulations as in- violable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, and by discarding these claims and reverting to common man- hood the Prince avoids a great deal of red tape and the demands made upon royalty. In other words, the Prince may go fishing if he wishes to, and even dig his own worms. EDITORIAL NOTES The extremely wet weathtr we are having is very depressing for the farmers. But then it is also de- pressing to the grasshoppers. '"There is no cloud without a silver lining." When the lawyers get through with Leob and his precious off- spring a consideiable holt will !;;â-  be made in his millions. The only <tanger is that his family v.ill remain intact. The Middle School examination re- sults appear elsewhere in this issue. Flesherton did excellent and the plucking which was anriouncti did not materialize, so far a^- our school is concerned. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND is the re-opening day at the Dear Mr. Thurston: Here I am again. I felt I would like to let you know the true condi- tion of this part of the country. There are inspectors coming through the country and saying there will be an average crop. They must be either blind or tryin"' to mislead the people, as the crop here is almost a total failure. All stubble crops were gone a month ago, and the oat crop i.s gone, excepting late oats, We had a heavy rain last night, rained all night. The only grain left is a summer-fallow that was plowed early in 1923 and well-worked. That has held its own fairly well, but late and poor summer-fallow will only average about 5 bushels per acre, some say three. People are won- tlering what they are going to do. We had wheat that was a foot high, a promise of thirty bushels per acre; now you would think a fire had been over it. Out of 200 acres of stubble some small spots held out. We may cut ten acres. We have 50 acres summerfallow wheat, about five bu- .'^hds per aero. It is a sickening sight. I made a trip of 24 miles and the crop;? are all the same. Some men left here for Swift Current. The papers gave it as a good crop there, but when they got there the crop had gone the same as here. They wrote no work there. They then went on to .\ssiniboia. but when they pot there the hail had de- stroyed from 50 to 75 per cent, of the cro]). No harvest help will be needed from Ontario this year. Men are leaving here to look for work. Farmers have let their hired men go; some will not leave until they get their wages, and the farmers have no money to pay them, and are in a bad fix. A person cannot depend on the press of this country for ac- curate reports. One inspector said on the 27th of June, heavy rain at Outlook; prospects average crop. On that date the crops at Outlook were "gone and they had a 20-minutc rain. The crop outlook is very Fisrious. Elevators are being closed, men dis- charged and starting out to look for work in harvest, if they can find any, but it is hard to find out the ac- tual truth, and men are being fooled. Every person thought the Hudson's Bay railway would be completed, as there is an abundance of men. It would have been a great relief to this country, besides to those poor settlers who have been looking for that rail- way for the West. So much for our Senate. Spring was verv late and back- ward, but very cool. No rain, only a couple of snow storms to delay work. It was not the amount of snow that fell that delayed us, but the drifts. It came with terrific wind then it came in warmer, prain grew rapidly for a short time, and the country looked beautiful. Then came terrific heat and wind and kept it up. One field after another kept going. One funny thing about it was rhnt it looked like rain clouds right lip, then all disappeared, then an- other clear, hot day, etc., etc.. One man from here motored to Banff and Calgary and said the crop is the same all the way, and north of Sa.skatoon they are pone, but I don't know how it is further north. Throe men wall;ed from Regina here to look for work. They thouglit there was a pood crop here, but they left our place for the west, but I hear the crop is worse as far as Rosetown, about 100 miles we.st. Well, I must close, as you will pet tired reading it. Y'ours truly, â€" E. D. LeGARD. Friday evening, August 15th, in place ' *>«' siipp! ed the rib to give woman j * .L .i.t.
