Ing Ulsh precisely the share due to the ilex pressure system but undeniably owners of Winnipeg real estate Tho sold subsequently to the constr us Lon of that system than f they had sold before. And they re lived this advantage not in proportion o the size or Cost of the building on his land but in proportion to the convenience and suitability of their land or business purposes two lots Side by Side one of them vacant and thet other occupied by a skyscraper experiencing he same appreciation. Seeing then that the whole advantage of All civic expenditure which makes Winnipeg a More attractive City thus reaped by the owners of the arid on which Winnipeg is built is t not just that they should pay for hese improvements and in proportion o the Benefit they individually receive 7 this is indicated accurately enough by the Selling value of their lots. _ to charge up any of these improve ments to. A special class the tenants of stores and offices is As unjust As to charge them up if it were possible to the people of Brandon or Portage la Prairie. The Man whose lot is increased. Fin value by these improvements should foot the Bill and if his share of the tax is reason ably proportionate to mils share of the profit he has no ground of complaint. Anyone who argues that because the High pressure system protects Only the business Section therefore the business Section should pay by a Specia tax can never have read the old fable of the members of the body who re fused t o feed the Lazy stomach. N would be the effect on the residential districts of Wirmel Jeg if the business districts were wiped out by a Greal conflagration that High pressure system raises the value of Winnipeg property everywhere and Winnipeg property everywhere should pay . The business tax should merged in the general tax distributed among All property holders it would be no Burden to to. Mer chants Means nearly a. Month rent. A Soldier must carry his. Knap sack but it makes a great difference whether he carries it on his o tied to one leg. The men 6p whom this business tax is imposed Are the men who along with the railroads the factories the colleges and schools Are building Winnipeg. They have to find a place for their and they pay of such a place. And when they pay of it they pay for All the advantages i involves and they pay to speak moderately a-11 that these Are Worth. What Ever claim tie City has for helping t provide these advantages is a. Clan on the landlord has already charge the tenant for them let the City re coup itself by taxing the landlord there must be a special tax. If j taxes the tenant it makes him a once to his landlord and once t the Atcitty grows through its. Industries. It is made by its industries. What Folly then to chec these industries in any degree by an kind of taxation the Cost of administering a City should be placed not o the manufacturers the business an professional men who create the Cit and without whom the City could no exist but on the landholders who a such do nothing for the of ten no even living in it and Olio off the Cream of All the wealth the othe men create. S. Bland. Winnipeg Marci 5. Or. Cold wide a latest. To the editor of the free Prosa. Sir surety the limit was reached i the legislature when or. The minister of education of All men too up and charged the Liberal Leader i having travelled under a false name in the election because in ruthenian print his name had appeared t. C. Hop Pic. Or Norris should have replied by pointing out that in the Roblin government s Campaign literature for ruthenian electors the Premier s name the City. Thi truth overlooks a movement loss Farmers forum a column for the discussion of All matters of interest to the Farmers of Western Canada. Address All letters to editor Farmers 3_000 800300 editorial comment. During january and february the Farmers of the Canadian West have Een largely interested in questions f Tariff Hail freight rates id last but by no Means least co operation and co operative trading. With the opening of March the thoughts of those who make a living the soil Are More fully concen rated on what to sow when to sow and How much land to sow and How much to fallow. Pressure on space due to the War has compelled the free press for he past few months to Cut out the Page of the daily which twice a week for nearly two years was de voted to news from Western now under the title of Farmers it is intended once a week to devote at least a couple of columns to topics which Are of immediate arid pressing in Terest to Farmers. The columns will e open to the men who. Wish to., ask questions and so far As possible these will be promptly answered though it will be realized that no teat amount of space can be Given to publishing letters. Where a query or. Criticism is of general interest the substance of it will be. Given As nearly a possible in the writer s own words. A letter must be signed As an evidence of Good Faith but the writer s name will not be published if there is a request not to do so. It is the desire of the free press to make this Section helpful to its thousands of readers on farms who out and destroys the inoculation. Get on the land and Harrow it As soon As it is received. Good seed get Good seed grimms if possible. Reliable seed houses report a Good fair Supply of the hardiest varieties suited to the Canadian West. It is poor Economy to spend time Money on preparing the land and and having it inoculated and then Plant ing get the Best if you have to seed less. Land. Later there will be something to say about the care of the crop the cutting and cur ing. In the meantime the practical experiences of a Manitoba grower Are suggestive. F. W. Crawford of Camter gives the following account of different Fields of Alfalfa on his farm in 19u. He says crop we had Here was of different see Dongs. The first Field of eight acres was seeded june 1912. The land had been in Corn the year before. It was inoculated with soil 100 pounds to the acre and 100 pounds of seed used for eight acres. It was Cut in the late summer of that year but the. Yield was j r 1913 a heavy Hail storm caught the Field sust As it was ready for the cutting and it was completely ruined and even the second cutting that Vear was not Good but the held was allowed to go into Winter with a growth of 10 inches. In 1914 the first cutting was made on june and the eight acres yielded 14 tons it was Cut again the first week in August when it was 28 inches High and went Over two tons to the acre. Second Field our second Field contains 12 acres and was seeded without inoculation in june 1913, and Only 100 pounds i u us.

Shortly Aiu a War broke out it was feared wat Vij cheese Industry Wou d be checked Foi w o in Liverpool Ami from 90s to 9-s in London or 16s to 17s higher has Ever been before. Unfortunately. Canada has very Little cheese to ship. Stocks of Canadian cheese Are Only sufficient to Supply Auer Emonts until new cheese on the Market. A Large Quantity of american cheese is i Deng through Montreal. These prices Are so tempting that probably Fod Der cheese will be made in the prov Ince of Quebec and with the Supply of grass every Ahe Eso 13 will be humming. Feed la too Deli in the West to attempt fodder making a but the High Price and Ace Manor u demand should tend to open our last year was Only pounds Haa been a general Advance in butter prices in Ontario and stocks Are reported As Well cleaned up.

These cond cutting was in the first week of August and the Lold was Between 12 and 13 tons. While the Field is healthy i feel it was a mistake not it to have inoculated the soil and used take the daily edition and to this end co operation is As essential As is in the operation of elevators the More seed.

In this Field it has Nake a i would sow to the acre. The entire crop was stacked in the barnyard. Alfalfa turns wet poorly and should have _ a covering of a Ririe or Timothy Hay. It is very interesting to note the comparisons. The Field in its third year which has been inoculated and seeded at the rate of 12% pounds to was printed pod Mohd but of that Aid not mean that oui i.

While the allies have been husband ing their Reserve strength Only draw ing upon it for drafts to replace losses upon the firing line the Austro Ger or. Haig s most optimistic forecast was that in five years the licenses in Winnipeg would be reduced 50 per cent while the remaining provincial territory would be dry. I think that Premier Roblin himself admits that a provincial measure will explanation of this difference in tactics i stronger and More Effi found in the circumstances of the those who Are doing t John Macdonald ruled at Ottawa had otes in Dominion elections were deluded Poore Ignorante and in in Speckine by being made to believe that Queen Victoria had Lento them a proclamation copies of which were posted up throughout their reservation strictly enjoining them that they must vote for her dear Friend and Belov d Chyhur Geon doctor Contastie.

About four of the clock we nil set forthe in Snag by s gasoline Coache to visit Rny lord and on the Way blathers the lawyer had begun to diverse me by telling me of the Gimli election Case and the endless Legall Dodges and Foxie stratagems by which or. Taylor did fools the. Liberals when full sudden lie i began to suffer a Colick and so grievous that i did beg Snag by to take a Home to Tanker on s. This evening it hath continued so that i went not abroad for the Paine of it. And Sadie put out the visit to. About nine i did resorts to olde Brandy which hath assuage d the Paige and give n me a measure of ease and i have made shift to write in this my Diarie for the upholding of the Pepys tradition but i Pray heaven that i be not in for an attack of hepatic Rheum Ami so to bed mans have thrown additional forces amounting certainly to More than a be eventually required., million men against the russians. The As however he has denied the of Clent weapon. _ the fighting Are for the austrians and the i not going to lie Down but will return necessity of forcing the trenches and with the improved Early favourable decision by throwing All local option weapon will keep Choppin Avau aft resources into the conflict still Uway from the rear knowing at least grows More urgent that they Are betting nearer and presses b u nearer the Point of decapitation of this every Flay with the Ever inc Rastog moral Ana economic while appreciating greatly the amendments offered by the government. Let to. Also express through your columns my of the Liberal opposition who have so loyally in the past stood and voted for advanced Temperance legislation including most of the proposed amendments now offered by the government. It is due i believe to their championship of the Temperance cause at election More than to any other cause that we occupy Sueh a Happy position today with one party attack in of from the rear and standing for both a front and ear at tack. Since then Tho opposition has again taken Tho Lead and voted unanimously in the Lionso for a provincial prohibition measure to be to a referendum. Unfortunately was voted Down. One must also Admire the attitude of or. Norris who. Offered the full Liberal support to the government for irm Nedi prohibition As a War measure. Surely such a. A i serous and patriotic spirit is worthy of general comm Ndu two Camps economic Strain. Hence the launching of these avalanches of men. At both extremities of the Long Eastern line. The germans looked for successes that would destroy the russian Power of offensive for a period of months. They probably hoped to drive the russians East of the Middle Vistula and out of Galicia by inflicting upon them a series of demoralizing defeats. Then hold ing the russians in Check by comparatively Small forces acting on the de Eastern to. The throw n additional forces from the reserves which have been accumulating during the Winter at Interior Points of concentration and thus to resume the offensive on an immense scale Forestal Ling the expected Cirlo by the allies by themselves taking the initiative. Something like this during Tho pres ent been expected by the allele i in the West and the heavy concentration of British and French troops in Tho rear of the fighting lines Lias been hurried to provide immediately available reserves . The German has probably not been abandoned and any Day now May see the beginning of a. Desperate struggle in the West but it will not be possible to carry it out As originally planned in. View of the least to of their Eastern Campaign. The word failure is used notwithstanding Gemian successes in Bast Prussia Southeastern Galicia and Buko Wina. In. War isolated victories de spite their apparent temporary importance sink to the level of Mere Inci dents if they do not ensure the Realiza Tion of the planned objective. The Ger mans have not crushed Tho russians they have not rafted the siege of Przemysla they have not captured War saw they have not forced the evacuation of Galicia. The russian wings driven by the unexpected massing of troops by the enemy on their flanks Are now pressing Forward again and the teutonic allies will have to choose apparently Between further reinforcing their Eastern armies or being put upon the defensive along the Eastern front. The probabilities Are that the germans and austrians will drum up every Avail Able Man Divide the reinforcements thus obtained Between the Eastern and Western armies and resume the Offens Ive along a thousand Miles of front with the Energy and desperation born of a realization that every week that passes lengthens the Odds against them. There is every indication that is fearful of what May and june May bring Forth and will herself precipitate the Spring trial of strength by forcing the fighting. R i Winnipeg March 6. Or. Bland on the business tax to the editor of the e l of press. Me to express my sym Pathy with the persistent opposition to the business tax. It is a tax that will always be resented whether levied on floor space or. On rentals or according to any ingenious principle whatever it is essentially its advocates appear that the City has a right to Levy such a the business Section because of the Specia expense involved in a place and fire Protection. The High pressure water seems to be specially referred to. But who gets the benefits of these advantages undoubtedly the owners of the land on which the City is built every improvement or convenience which makes the City a safer or pleas Anter or More advantageous place o business or residence raises the Valu of its real estate. And this increase it will be recognized is no confined to one District but is distributed automatically and proportionately Over the whole City. Just As when a Stone is Flung into a Pond the Widen ing but diminishing Ripples spread Ove the whole surface so the Rise in Ian values through any improvement in the business District spreads to the limit of the Community. It might be difficult amidst the Vari Ous factors contributing to the Rise in values of Winnipeg real estate to Dis heir n is shaped practically the same s our h. And their s like our c. Any body who will look at the Ruthemann etterling on any of the shops North end will notice the word Pucka constantly occurring. It is or course pronounced Ruska and Means russian yesterdays performance was quite what was to be expected from the head of the educational system of our prov nce sir. Cold Well must know of course that t. C. He Pic is simply the transliteration of or. Norris name into a ruthenian. But what or. Cold knows is. One thing what he says a talk about grow1nmlfalfa Good Rich soil free from weeds seed and plenty of inoculate this is the year when every Farmer who has a Patch of Alfalfa should add to it and every Farmer who has not got one should seed at least an acre to this succulent a Gurnen.
