Bulkley Valley
Farmers Should
Make Clean-up

It was not long ago that most people
in this part of the country were com;
plaining of the continued wet and cool
weather, August has surely been do-
ing its part to make up for the short

comings of June and July. It is, anc |

has been quite'warm,- Even. at nigh.
the houses do not cool off a great deal
and that is exceptional in this countr:
But what a difference it has made to
the crops. Everyone has got their hay
in the barns and without a drop of
water on it, and a crop that will aver-
age at least double an average yield.
Now the grain. is making such rapid
progress that one ean almost see it

arow, and it will be a bumper crop of |

a very high standard of grain. When
outs and barley are the best that ean
be growh in any country,

The farmers of the Bulkley Valley -

should this year make a big profit 2x
they have the crops, and the latest re-
port from Ottawa is that the prair:.
crop Is the poorest this year in 35 ye
The Bulkley Valley farmers have th.
crops, they have the ‘machinery am.
they have cleaners. Everything is at
hand for them to make a clean up.

LAST SUNDAY'’S GOLF MATCHES

On Sunday, August 13th the Smith-
ers teams visited. Hazelton for the re-

turn match. of the game the previous .
Sunday. The games-resulted in an all

around draw. The teams were :—Haz-
elton—G. Williamson and A. Young;
W. H. Sharpe and W. Gow. Smithers
—C. Reid and R. Davidson; K. Hough-
ton and N. L. Kilpatrick, . In the first
‘teams. the first, | AS; ‘holes _Zesulted in a

Hazelton. In’ the: Second teams the
Smithers players won ‘the first 18 ana
the second 18 was a draw. In the
morning the Smithers second team be-
ing unable to-field but one player, a
visitor was, utilized, but in the after-

j-noon the Smithers’ aggregate swelled

from three to six, so that three teams
in all were fielded, This latter team
was represented by J. A. Rutherford
and O. Honson and was entértained by
F. Wheatley and 8S. Mallinson.

The fielding of three Smithers teams
in comparison with two of the Hazel.
ton the prerions Sunday is very note-
worthy in sportsmanship and it is hop-
ed that Hazelton will supercede that
1ninher in subsequeat matches,

As next Sunday is the date of the

‘) Northera ‘B, CO, championship, friendly

matches will be postponed to the fol-
lowing Sunday, In. future any golfe:
wishing to-go to Smithers is asked ‘tc
obtain and arrange ‘with his part
nnd to notify the seeretery not late
than four days before the match, In
failing this the question of arranging
a game will ‘be uncertain,

THE FARMER -

The Scottish Journal of Agriculture
insned by the Department of Agricnl-
ture for Sentland, says.the following
poem: ‘describes the British . Farmer
quite falrky:—~

| The farmer will never. be happy again.

His heart is right down in: his. boots
For either the rain is destroying his
grain.

1 Or the drought i is destroying his rots,

In fact when you meet this ‘untortm-
- ate man, ”

The conclusion you'll come to ig plain: : :

That Nature_is just, an-elaborate plan

‘To nnnoy him again and. ‘again,

To-some ‘the above’ may. appear hum.
orns, says the Journal, but: it is never-

the-less true.
