THE SITUATION OUT WEST We hear great‘ reports of fine crops in the West, but a lengthy ar- ticle appears in Saturday’s Globe that has anything but a roseate ap- pearance. In many places in Alberta the crops are not good. Some places they are actually poor and will scarcely return the seed. The writ- er of the article in question is Ross Munro, staff correspondent of The Globe. He says that in Calgary men intimately connected with the farm- ing conditions say the total amoun of wheat harvested in Alberta should run more than sixty million bushels. Some estimates go as low as fifty- fuse in wasting pity over them. It t A few years after his departure.

All are willing. but many are not. able to meet their obligations. The trouble is attributed largely to overexpan- sion ill 1918. when wheat went to two dollars a bushel and over. Ad- ditional land purchases were then made in the hope and expectation that prices would keep up. Expen- sive machinery was purchased on time. with little or no payment down. The notes have matured and the money is not. in sight to meet them at maturity. The notes bear interest at seven per cent... and as high as 10 or 12 per cent. if allowed to run after due. When times are good people are liable to be optim- istic and run into debt, forgetting that. the tide may turn before the time for final reckoning. This spirit of Optimism is not con- fined to the West alone. It. is here too; it is everywhere, and a boom of pl't’isperity will act. as a boomer- ang to all who allow themselves to drift with the tide. “’0 are too lia- ble to forget. that. bad times follow gtmd times just as night follows day.
