CANADA WINS AGAIN THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY FOR OATB WON A SECOND TIME BY CANADA. , The most recent achievement of Canada’s West is winning for the seoond time the magnificent $1,500 silver trophy awarded by the State of Colo* rado for the best peck of oats. At Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. C. Hill A Sons of Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, placed a peck of oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every payt of the world. The judges had no difficulty in deciding, and the award was given to the Saskatchewan grown oats. In 1912, the Com Expo* sltion had no exhibition, and, our Canadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity. In 1913, the exhibition of the Society was held at, Columbus, S. C., and it is said of it that it was one of the best yet held. At this exhibition, which comprised com and all the smaller grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydmlnster had on exhibition for the contest another beck of oats grown on their Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision, Hill & Sons won, and for the second tlm? their name will appear on the crest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will be theirs. ' . v / -* . During the past few years Western Canada grains—wheat, oats, barley and flax —have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and in every case their superiority has been Shown. l lt is not only in oats, but it Is hi wheat, in barley and in flax, that Canada more than holds its own, when placed side by side with grains from other parts. Mixed* farming is taking a strong hold not only in those parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which up to the present have been devoted solely to grain growing, but also in the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large in profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the steer class, at Chicago last December. This beast had been fattened on the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing grain.lt had was barley; not an ounce of com. Western Canada presents Innumerable opportunities for the big farmer who wants to cultivate his thousands of acres, the medium man satisfied with a few hundred acres, the man who is content to farm his free homestead of one hundred and sixty acres; it has opportunities for the investor, the capitalist, the business man, the manufacturer and the laborer. Agents of the Canadian Government located at different points in the United States will be pleased on application, to give any desired information' free of cost. —Advertisement
