mummauwcu Hr. W. D. Ellison, oi Wsude. was an enterprising Glenelg farm- or, but three years ago he went west and took up a section of land adjoining Alsssk, 8ask., on which he placed South African scrip. He will have the property Proved up this fall. He also runs a flour and feed store, and is postmaster at Alsask. John Love and Roy McNally, formerly of Glenelg, did part 01 Mr. Ellison’s threshing {or the neat sum of 8900. Be.has still 190 acres to thresh. and his total threshing bill will amount to about $1300.; His total crop will net him 'about 010,000. This is making money in a hurry. We wish him continued prosperity. The following clipping from the Alsask News, of September 26th. speaks for itself, and shows that Mr. Ellison’s success is the result of conscientious effort.goodjudg- ment and approved methods of soil cultivation: “A dozen stacks of generous pro- portions on Councillor Ellison’s land across the railroad track bear silent witness to the fact that the threshers have been busy with the crop of 1912 in this locality at least. Experienced farmers have long predicted a bumper yield from this crop, but no one hazard-‘ It always gives us pleasure to hear of the prosperity of the boy. from Durham and vicinitY- Whether they make good at home or abroad is a satisfaction to us. ed a guess that it would turn out as well as it actually did. When the separator had finished with the last sheaf of wheat it was found that the yield from 232 acres was a little short of 9500 bushels, or a schade better than 40 bush- els to the acre. One hundred and’€ five acres of oats that have not ' yet been threshed are expected to yield 100 bushels to the acre. and 85 acres of flax is also a heavy crop. Mr, Ellison deserves the success that his efforts have met with this year. He is a consci- entious farmer using good judg- ment and apprmed methods of, soil culture in his endeavors to! wrest a competence from the‘ land. When this combination is'. met with in a farmer and soil conditions are such as they are in , this much favored district, it is! only in years of exceptionally ad-i verse circumstances that similar: results will not be obtained. The I Wheat is already loaded in the“! cars, Mr. Ellison having decided. to ship his grain himself rather| than to sell locally. Nine cars: were required, almost a train load 3 and so far as grade is concernedf,‘ there is little doubt that it will go No. 1, Northern. Prices are caus-‘l ing no little dissatisfaction at pre- ' sent. W'hen threshing commenc-1 ed points similarly situated to‘ Alsask offered only 70 cents locally and along the Goose Lake line this week 72 cents was the best that was offered for No. 1, Northern. The price at this time last year was about 85 cents. Mr. Ellison predicts that these conditions will not last long and anticipates rc- cc-iving about 80 cents net for his shipment. W. D.
