Tom my Craven, Jr., of Williston, was awarded third prize and Howard brothers, Williston farmers, were fourth. All corn which was grown by the prize winners is northwestern dent, and was raised from homegrown seed. As Williams county has been raising «orn for only three years, tlve records ftre considered very satisfactory. The yields secured by every farmer in the contest were sufficiently large to give a good profit. The largest yields of the first prize winners were secured from corn raised on land previously devoted to alfalfa. In the county alfalfa growing con test, R. A. Rieder, of Williston, won the first prize of $50 for the best acre, and L. S. Albright, of Bonetraill, sec ond. Williams County Donates Wheat.

Thielt, Belgium, Nov. 16.—The Germans have not succceded in crossing the Yser in front of Dix mude, since that town has been en tirely destroyed. The possession of It thus far has been of little value to the invaders. A heavy fog alternat ing with pouring rains is causing a great deal of sickness among the soldiers in the trenches. The ditches are flooded and the men are forced to stand in water constantly. As a result these soldiers suffer from se vere colds which frequently develop into pneumonia.

WESTERN CANADA'S STRONG POSITION "THE WHEAT GRANARY OF THE WORLD," A WELL AP PLIED TERM. Western Canada occupies a stronger position today than it ever has occu pied. Taking one year with another, the efficiency of Its lands to produce h'aB tieen well proved. It has not been said of it that year in and year out there were bumper and bounleous crops. If such a condition existed it would be phenomenal in the history of any country. With an extensive territory producing grain, hogs, cattle and sheep, of some 800 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, It is easy to con ceive of a wide variation in tempera ture and climate there is variation in rainfall and snowfall every section is not the best in the district—some are better than others and some worse, but as a general thing, the great per centage is "better." This past year has shown that some portions are not altogether Immune from periods of drought. The same may be said of ad joining states to the south. But this year has also shown that in the greater portion of Western Canada drought does not appear, but even in the drought-stricken area of this year, past years have shown that the soil produces wonderfully well and even this year, with modern methods, known as "dry-farming," good crops were harvested. The large number of Americans who during the past six teen years have been attracted to Canada have not gone simply because of the advertising of that country, but because their friends and their old time neighbors have done well there, and with careful' and judicious farm ing almost everyone has done well. As a result of the great influx of immigration the open or prairie home steading area is being rapidly taken up. The fact that this is so is evi dence that Western Canada lands are productive, and on these open plains today are to be seen the homes of successful farmers from almost every state in the Union. They have earned their patents, and now own outright their 160 acres ot land, together prob ably with an adjoining 160 acres, which they have purchased or pre empted, all of which is worth from $25 to $30 per acre. They originally started by growing grains altogether, but they found that they could secure a better price for much of their grain by feeding it to hogs and cattle, and the most successful ones are those who have followed this course. But to meet the wants of the new comer a new homestead area has been opened up, known as the "park coun try." In this park country are to be found beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, with sufficient open area to enable one to goJnto immediate cultivation of crop, and in due time when they wish more land to be put under cultivation, they may at small cost cut down some of the groves, which in the meantime have been valuable in providing fuel and in giving shelter to cattle. Notwithstanding the high character of the open prairie lands and the fact that farmers there have realized in a splendid way, there is the opinion backed up by a lot of experience that this parklike country contains soil even better than that of the open area referred to. The opportunities, therefore, for money making are as great today as they ever were. The opportunities for carrying on farming successfully are fully as great as they ever were. Of this park area we have an immense quantity of land yet to be settled. It Is true that the railroads have not yet penetrated these districts to the extent that they have the open area, but tbis will come and as settlements advance, so will railroads build. *For the pres ent there is a temporary lull in rail road building, but it is always the case that-where there is a demand there will come a supply, and it will pot be long before the park country will be penetrated by railroads that will give sufficient accommodation for all' n^eds, but to those who prefer it .theft} are lots of opportunities for pur cjitisjjhg land nearer towns and vil lagji$B and at low prices and on easy terms. Whether one cares to purchase or homestead it can better be done by paying a visit to the country and it will repay you to spend some little time -vlsitlng the different districts.— sement.
