week and rather bears out the statements of a writer frdm the west who recently contributed an article to the free press seizure of wheat for taxes and advances for twine and repairs according to the article has left thou sands of farmers in southern saskatchewan with 100 and less with which to face the twelve months in the rural municipality of indian head where there are about 300 farmers a total of 231 seizures for taxes have been made the writer of this article goes on and gives specific cases showing the amounts that farmers in various sections have left after their obligations have been met in the matter of taxes and supplies a quotation from the article reads as follows the plain- fact of the situation is that with the farmer getting around 30 cents a bushel for wheat and with a lignt yield of less than 10 bushels per acre he has not enough wheat to go around to all his creditors and if his crop is seized for taxes or taken for relief payments he has not enough left to live on added to that he has to save enough for seed for next spring binder re pairs and twine relief given this fall by the sas katchewan relief commission represent the first charge to be met by farmers

circles chronicles of ginger farm written bpechsuy for i the free pram bj covendoune p clavbbb comparisons are sold to too odious but i often and that comparisons at times uro perfectly ludicrous at any rate thoy appear to be in my case because my duties are bo many and various that what i am doing one day is no criterion for what i shall be doing the next for instance last monday i was up to the eyes jnwashing and ironing and var nishing stove pipes and oif wednesday 1 was vigorously cleaning out henhouses but sandwiched in between came tues day when i was dressed up in my best bib and tucker and was away to address the womers institute on the subject of canadian authors vegods if only my audience could have seen this canadian author t tjae day before and the day afterl 1 thought of it when i was busy in the henhouse and the comparison of both occupation and attire kept me chuckling for quite a while fortunately what the eye doesnt see the heart does done anyway but toy contrast the prac tical things of life do seem rather funny lovely things have been happening this week- among others i have been left a fortune well perhaps i shouldnt say that exactly because to be strictly correct it has only been lent and a lot of people wouldnt call it a fortune at all truth is a lady of our acquaint ance has a perfect treasure store of books f rem which i may pick and choose as i like if only i could borrow the time to go with them as it is my reading is rather like a small boy tryirlg te make a candy stick last indefinitely ljust take a nibble every now and then perhaps after all that is the best way with good booksjtaken in larger bites one would miss so much of their charm one iboak i have just finished is the road by warwick deeping a delight ful book how much reading people would miss if there were no warwick deeping one is always better for hav ing read any one of his books a cltap- ter or two for instance can be a tremen- menotony incidental to henhouse hygiene another book i read was the friend ly bpad by david grayson quite a different type of book altogether but the yery best kind for farm people to read such an understanding book david grayson knows so well the drudgery and monotony that can acoempany farm life unless we are keenly aware of its ad vantages and the beauty of its sim plicities last sunday i heard a splen did sermon and the preacher started off with this cryptic remark a person without imagination is only half alive well you know that is so absolutely true where would we be if it were not for our imagination would life be worth living at all our horizon is limited or expanded by our imagination if anyone believes that rural fairs are declining in popularity a view of one of these institutions ori a fine day will dispel all doubt and the wide awake fairs are drawing their goodly crowds of friends and patrons j the marlatt tannery at oakville has been re opened after having been closed down since the first of july it is claimed the industry secured assistance through the agreements reached at the imperial conference with the intention of housing the second largest telescope in the world construction will begin shorif- ly on ah observatory at the university of toronto the instrument is of tjie reflecting type and will he finished some time in 1933 when the observatory will be fully completed and taken over by the university tor administration the building and equipment of tne new institution will cost about 500000 so far as it controls our thoughts and emotions now more than at any other time do we farm people need to draw en our stook or imagination for the practical everyday needs of life when a farmer sows his wheat it makes his outlook so much more cheerful if he imagines he may get a dollar a bufihel for it when threshed and when a calf is born if the farmer thinks he rrflgrii as well knock it on the head for all he will get out of it why he very naturahy- gets depressed but if he imagines the calf will grow into a nice little heifer some day and in due course of tunc fill the pail with foamy milk which will bring in adequate returns why then mr farmer gets- some-pleasure-out- offeeding and caring for his calf and if after all it doesn co up to expectations he wont have lost any more by hoping for the best than if his outlook had been gloomy and then again if we imagine the taxes may be lower this year we may even get quite anxious to see the tax bill ar rive just to have our expectations vert- fled of course if theyre not well thats a horse of another colorrreri dont think we will go into that just now better stick to imagination there is another thing imagination can do it cahhelp our sense of ap- prefclatlon for instance up to the present we have not had any real killing frost flowers are still blooming in the gardens birds and even bees still fly hopefully from cosmos to carina from dahlias to nicotines just imagine what it might have 4een like had the frost come earlier our gardens would now be a scene of desolation gone would be brightness and color there yould be no woodbine spices wafted abroad ho musk of the roses blown i am not sure trrat there is anyway but something smells nice and it is just aseasy to imagine one things as another so if we are not contented with what is let us use our imagination and think about what might have been by the way i believe our blddilpare gifted with imagination too these halcyon days evldontly give them the idea that it would not be a bad notion to raise a second family so out comes one biddy with onelittle chick which she has hatched out ill by her lonesome another one comes along with two and a third is the proud possessor of nine little fluffy chicks but i am very much afraid if imagination helped to hatch them it will take more than imagination to rear them slats diary t robs mbqtjhab friday da is tawktog aout joining up with a debating soclaty i dont no whut hla object in jslnlng a debat ing
