Ed. Advance: â€" I am sori-y to have to trouble you again, but I feel that I would like to make a few explana- tions in answer to Mr. Chard's letter of Sept. 10. In the first place he finds fault with me for saying there are inspectors goinR around sending in false crop reports. I guess I made a mistake. He has given ua the name â€" di.strict sales managers. How- ever, it appears these district sales managers do send in crop reports. I really did not know what they repre- sented. There are so many runa- bouts I knew they could not belong to any one firm. A man writing to the Saskatoon Star stated that these men travelling around in their runabouts mistook weeds for wheat. I have rid- den along the road and noticed that some crops looked fairly promising, but ongoing into the crop and exam- ining it, found it was not a quarter the crop it looked to be from the road, and I dare say not one of those salesmen ever leave a car to exam- ine a crop. As far as I can learn, all f^rms have their men or do report. Mr. Chard says so himself. He spys he has first hand information 'from Wilhort Chard. I do not know that they report falsely on purpose, but it is no proof whatever that a man rid- ing in a car can estimate a crop accu- rately ^or nearly accurately. They must go into" it to determine the ac- tual condition, and even then may make a misUike. Mr. Chard also says Wilbert Chard reports once per month. A great change can be made in one week. When the rain came it changed what looked like a ruined oat crop in one week, insuring abund- ance of feed. Thcje two men that I referred to were farmers from Scot- lan<l and know a crop when they see one. But they may have hit on a poor crop district. I spoke to their brother the other day and he si^id the crop was later at Swift Current than here, so the rain may have hit them in time. Mr. Chard calls me a knock- ' er on Saskatchewan and blames me for the report. I explained how I got my information. I considered it was first hand as they worked for me, and I considered them trustworthy fel- lows. The crop report said the same as these two men â€" hail in Assiniboia, .51) to v.") per cent. Now any person knows that hail seldom covers a whole country. I have not been to either place since 1904, and know no- thing of the crop only what I am told. I am pleased lo know they have a crop therp. Now again, Mr. Chard say.s I am a knocker of the whole pro- vince. I deny this. I have written a large number of letters to Ontario, trying to induce people to come to Saskatchewan, but those who came went back, saying you have to work too hard here. It is true I have not tried to induce any person to come here sine? 1919. If 1 report a poor Small Advertisements \Vhen word was passed around that Wm. Irwin, proprietor of the Dur- ham Chronicle, had passed away in the Toronto general hospital about 'i o'clock Monday morning it came as a distinct shock to his many friends here, although it was known that he had been ailing for some weeks. Still it was not thought he was in a critical condition. He went to Toronto the fore part of last week Ux undergo an X-ray examination to, find out the cause of his ailment, but fully dxpected to be able to return home this week. The cause of death was instestinal obstruction , which could not have saved his life even had it been taken in hand sooner. The late William Irwin was born near Heathcote nearly 72 years ago, and entered the school teaching pro- fession at an early Age. At the age of nineteen he was teaching school on the townline, CoUingrwood and St.- Vincent, near Thornbury. Later he taught down in the Eastern Counties, Quebec, and still later came to Flesh- erton, where he was principal of our public school for some years. About 26 years ( ago he purchased the Durham Chronicle and moved from Flesherton and has published the paper continuously since then. He married a Miss Georgina Fitchell of Leamington. While living here they lost three little children, and after moving to Durham the eldest dau^lr ter, Maud, died and was buried here. While still in Flesherton Mrs. Irwin died in the general hospital, Toronto, and was brought here, the remains being inteiTed alongside her children in Flesehrton cemetery, so that five members of the family were resting here before the father joined them. As a teacher Mr. Irwin was exceed- ingly highly regarded here, as a friend he was staunch and loyal, as an opponent he was always fair. His character was above reproach. As an editor he wielded a powerful pen and made the Chi-onicle one of the very foremost paper* in this county. He leaves 6nly two children, Frank, who has had charge of the paper sinse his fathor's illness began five or six weeks ago, and Reta (Mrs. Kearney) of Schomberg. To these The Advance tenders its heartfelt sympathy. Mr. Irwin's death is a distinct loss to the journalism of this county. He was a staunch Conservative all his life and always conducted his paper in the interests of that party. There is a monument here to the memory of Wm. Irwin, one of which he was with reason very proud, in the form of a beautiful row of maple trees facing the high school grounds, where he owned the property when living here. These he planted with his own hands 28 years ago. They are a worthy monument and one of which he spoke with pride to the writer on numerous occasions. And to-day many of his pupils here are out in the world, successful businses men, who will all hear with sorrow his demise. The funeral will take place to-day (WsdnesdaX) from his home in Dur- ham to Flesherton cemetery, after a short service at the houseat 2 p.m. crop I am a knocker. It makes a per- son feel like not iX^riting at all. I asked to have some of our home town boys write their conditions in this lo- cality, when we would get the truth. Mr.Chard says he does not believe that conditions are as bad as painted. It he was hero he would have to be- lieve it. I only wish they were not. As for him saying I am sore on Sas- katchewan, I am not. He also says if the right spirit is shown the dif- ficulties are not unsurmountable. I would like to know how much more fipirit a person should have than to haVf 225 acres of well prepared sum- merfallow for next year? If I was sore on Saskatchewan I would get out pretty quick, but I have faith in Sas- katchewan and if Mr. Chard will tell us how to make it rain we will grow the best crops in the world her.'.. Mr. Chard brands me as a poor farmer. Well, he makes nio laugh. Without knowing anything about my farming abilities he goes on to explain how I should farm. He says he is not a farmer. It is was needless to tell us that. Five years ajfo I bought a quarter section at a sherrif's sale. It is three miles away and was covered with small stone piles. I removed them into one, finished breaking, put a fence around it, summerfallowed it. .\» my half section was in fine shape, lifter I got thft quarter section all fin- ished ui> a man came and wanted to buy it, and 1 sold at a good figure, leaving me without any summerfal- low. Three-quarter section makes a nice farm for two men to work. My son and I decided to rent j» quarter near by but could not get what we wanted, so we rented a deserted farpi bought at $60 per acre but could not pay for it and it went to weeds. This was almost new land so I burned weeds and cultivated and it is now clear of ^ceds but there is no crop. I say no crop â€" 300 bushels off 125 acres The rented land is not yet threshed. The 50-acre summerfeillow is also on the rented place. Mr. Chai"d lays great stress on good farming, but not always does the best cultivated pro- duce the best crops, although I believe in early plowing and keeping a sum- merfallow black, but this yrar we are again deceived; what I called the best aummcrfnllow was the worst for weeds. .After the rain the weeds, es- pecially Russian thistle, grew rapidly and some crops could not be cut,»ome partly cut. Most patches of wheat have patches of a few acres. I have just finished threshing and got 50 bushels off 75 acres .stubble and 250 off 50 acres of summerfallow â€" E. D. LeGARD.
