The economic problems connected fClth the advantageous marketing of' farm crops and the financing of the movement of those crops are pressing upon agriculture most severely. They will be solved, however, and while that solution is being worked out It Is simply good sense on the farmer's part to make his efforts toward production tell to the very maximum, as best carrying him through the period of depression and hard times and placing him In the best position to take the greatest possible advantage of the better times to come. We may ' -repeat that the cheapest farm crop,, "whether from fields or from live stock,, Is almost invariably the largest crop' which can be obtained. Or in other words, the greater the crop, the {renter the net profit. To attain such crops and to place himself in the advantageous position referred, to above, the farmer must study, and must apply" the results of his study to such problems as soil fertility, its conservation^ and increase; soil moisture, its control; cultural methods, suitable and productive varieties, etc., etc. The question is how can yon best; accomplish and secure these things^. Can they be done on high-priced lands, by paying high rents, with the prices you get for your produce no greater than may be had from that grown* and raised on much cheaper lands, whose production is fully as great as that of the high-priced lands? The answer is unquestionably in favor of the low-priced landa, when they are selected because of their soil fertility^ and the other requirements necessary." It is not the purpose here to point out> merely that the lands of Western Canada would prove n splendid an<( ready solution, but to emphasise the fact that In order to overcome youp present difficulty, to remove some ofj the burden that you are laboring un* der, you must secure some line of, cheaper operation, whether It be re* moval to other parts in your own country where such opportunity majf offer, or take advantage of that whlcfe Western Canada affords.

" Lone fttar State on Maiden Voyage t» AM American Sea Comnwrw-- -- Captain -Engages Orclpetra y tn Play Jas. Nqw York.--Keen competition has developed In the race for supremacy on the seas. The latest addition to the fleet that Is keeping the American flag to the forefront In the sea commerce of the world is the steamship Lone Star State, recently delivered from her builders to the United States Lines, which has Just sailed an her maiden voyage to Bremen. In the Lone 8tar State, as in other passenger carrying vessels constructed under government supervision, the element of safety was of prime consideration. It is declared that the new liner Is practically unslnkable. Originally planned as s transport and later designated to act a bospital ship to bring back American wounded from France, the Lone Star Btnte was built torpndn proof as nearly as human IngsMlty covld make bet. The vessel has thirteen water-tight compartments. Shipping men who have inspected bar have declared that even if she were cut In twain each half would remain afloat. From the standpoint ot comfort, nothing has been left undone, to make h# a luxurious vehicle for sea travel. She carries two classes of passengers, first and third. , Full attention has been given to thcr cuisine and amusement facilities on the Lone Star State. The chefs and the kitchen personnel have been carefully selected with a view of rivaling the dining service of a firstclass hotel ashore. Captain Frank T. Bnrkhart, who la impresario as well as navigator, said before he sailed that be had adopted as his slogan "A has ennui," which property translated means a Filipino <wvPhestm of twenty-two pieces.
