Winnipeg, Man., May 13 —Alter 3 weeks of euspense the farmers of Western Canada are now busily en- waged in seeding In a large number of localities and toward the end of next week @ large percentage of the wheat crop of 1909 will have been planted. A week ago it appeared as though the entire crop would bea failure, owing to the lateness of the season, but the several blizzards and cold days were followed by exception- ally warm weather, drying up the ground and enabling the farmers to get to work. The Increase {n acreage {n the three prairie provinces this year will ap- proximate 1,000,000 acres, making atotal, in round figures, of 7,500,000 acres under crop.

Jefferson City, Mo., May —An even halt-million dollars was appropriat- ed by the House for good roads. A “joker” tn the measure, however, ' may prevent even a dollar being used for this purpose during the! | next two years. | The bill provides that the money shall be taken outof the general | revenue fund, from ‘money not | otherwise appropriated.” There is small chance of there being any| money in the State Treasury during the next two years “not otherwise appropriated.” A number of bills also were passed by the House fatended to revise and | clarify the present road laws. They were drafted by the Revision Com- | mittee with the assistance of State Highway Engineer Curtis Hill. | Under the revision bills county | bighway engineers may be appoint-| ed at the option of any county.

The incl- dent attracted a pretty good alzed crowd, and everyone praised the plucky engineer for sticking to bie | post of duty and finally conquering the stubborn plece of machinery.
