by two masked bandits, who bourdd

searched the sacks of mull, selecting
the ones that they were to throw off,
and piling them In the center of the
car near the door.

heard to explode. These torpedoes are
placed on the track and three of them

OATS BEST CROP
Statistics Show Advantages
Over Corn Growing.
On Comparatively Cheap Land m
Western Canada Farmer Get Rev.
ord Yield Cost Per Acre Much
Leia Than Corn.
How much more doea It coat tm
trow an acre of corn than to grow an
ere of oats? To get a proper com
parison It la necessary to take an Il
lustration from a farm on which both
crops are grown successfully. An ex
ample has just been brought to tho
writer's attention of the comparative
cost of growing corn nnd oats on
Minnesota farm. It is furnished by
Albert Inmcr, a well-known fanner Id
Cottonwood county, Minn., in an ar
ticle which appeared in the Cotton
wood Citizen.
Mr. Inmer says : "I had a curiosity
to know how much It would cost to
raise an acre of oats and corn. To
find out I kept nccount, during tho
year, of tho time required and tho
cash expended to grow the nboye men
tioned crops." His figures show that (
it cost htm $31.40 to grow an acre of
corn and $18.13 1-3 to grow an acre o?
oats, or a difference of $13.00 nn acre
In favor of onts.
Provided the respective crop yleldn
are not altogether out of proportion to
the cost of growing the crop, this
seems to be, a good argument tn fnror
of growing oats. But to grow onto
successfully it is not necessary to tise
8150 or $200 land. In western Canada
some of the best ont-growlng land In
the world can be bought for about $20
on acre. On this land good yields nnrl
a high quality of grain Is obtainable.
Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre
In properly prepared land Is a fnlr
average yield for ,oats In western Can
nda In a normal season hut yields of
up to 100 bushel?, nnd pven more, to
the ncre have been frequent In good
sears. The quality of oats grown In
western Canada Is attested by the fact
that at all the International exhibi
tions for many years past oats growo
lu western Canada have been award
ed the lending prizes. There Is or
record oats grown In western Canada
that have weighed as much as 48
pounds to the measured bushel, and?
tho dominion grain Inspector Is author
ity for the statement that 85 per cent
of the onts examined by him In west
ern Canada weigh more than 42
pounds to the measured bushel. Tho
standard weight for a bushel of oat
la 34 pounds.
Samples of these oats weighing up
ward of 45 pounds to the bushel aro
on exhibition at the Canadian govern
ment Information bureau, located Id
various cities in the United States.-
