It is quite noticeable that henfruit produced in the fall, when green food is less in evidence, usually possesses light colored yolks ,and that ‘with the advent of. spring and ‘plenty of green stuff there is an appreciable deeper shade of yellow to the yolk. Particularly‘ is this true in the coldâ€" er regions, where only stored green stuff is possible during the winter season. Professors L. S. Leroy. and H. L. Kempster, of the Missouri Agri cultural College, have been carrying on some feeding. experiments with special reference to the influences of food on the color of egg yolks. Touch ing the someâ€"what exhaustive tabula tion of their observation as to the inâ€" fluence feeding has on color, we briefly summarize the sali>nt feaâ€" tures. The color of. yolks from birds fed on wheat had 30 per cent. yellow, 12.5 per cent orange and 67.5 per cent. white; in those fed on oats, the proportions were 27.5 per cent. yellow 2.5 per cent. green and 72.5 per cent. white; in those fed (parâ€" tially) on meat scrap the proporâ€" tions were 20 per cent. yellow, 2.5. per®cent. green and 77.5 per cent.} white. At the opposite extremes were the feeding on yellow Indian. corn, with 70 per cent. yellow, 12.5, per cent. orange and only 12.5 per "In every case wherse it has been ‘put to the test in compeiition with ‘ordinary farming methods, irrization has been proved to increase producâ€" tion from 25 to 100 per cent. This ccounts for the fact that in.the irriâ€" on belt land is being sold for considerably over $100 per acre, and that farms are seldom offered for e even at that price, the owners eing reluctant to sell. The "Lethâ€" bridge Herald," by careful compilaâ€" tion, placed a conservative estimate f $54.71 as the average value of the production on an acre of the 82,230 cre fract. .

It is rather graâ€" tifying now,"â€"said the speaker, remâ€" '1ndscently, "in view of this tremenâ€" dous opposition, to see the radical tâ€"aboutâ€"face in sentiment and to ear theso same men assert that ractically the whole of the south untry needs irrigation to make riculture permanently successful. The experience of the past two years th a rainfall in Southern Alberta f less than 10 inches, and the bumâ€" per crops raised ‘by irrigationists, is ponsible in no smalh. measure for , great change in opinion." | "The Ppeaker divided his discourse er three heads, dealing with the troduction of irrigation in Alberta by the C.P.R., .and the motives hich had induced him to recomâ€" mend and urge this; the success as tproved by the company but the temâ€" porary ‘failure of some settlers due to lack/of experience in the applicaâ€" ion of water and cycle of wet years; the reversal of opinion after practiâ€" cal tests, and the consequent overâ€" whelming demand for further irrigaâ€" on projects on the prairie. ° .bol.

Just why the farmers of the southâ€" ern territory of the prairie provinces are clamoring for further extensions of the existing /irrigation schemes was . made clear recently, when Col. â€"J. S$.

"Farâ€" mers‘i claim â€" with justification that it is a life and death issue with them. If they are to rowmain on the land they must have it, if they de, not get it the only thing to do is get out. That â€" the Provincial Government realizes this also is very evident from the fact that they have enerâ€" getically taken un‘ the new projects. The Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District scheme comprises the irrigaâ€" tion of about 100,000 acres and wil: cost between three and four millior: dollars. .Just recently farmers in the Raymond, Magrath and Sterling district were called upon to vote on the formation of a further irrigation project which would embrace a total area 0)“190.000 acres and irrigate 95,000. . When the ballot came to be counted there was not a solitary vote recorded against the project. "A vast sum of money," said Col. Mend‘s in concluding, "was put into the irPigation scheme by the C.P.R., but it bas proved a sound proposiâ€" tion. _ Fhe bumper crops raised on these?
