Dr. Wrlnch said their suggestions were that the railway company! should not cut down wages too finely with a view to avoiding ex- pendltures. There was possibility of cutting being false economy. He thought It would be better for railway to dp necessary work r the the in n or- li-slTST ver should be made legal tender "in this eountry. He thought that this might be brought about by means of an International agreement. The third suggesUon was that the convention should protest the cutting of wages generally.

Weeds are growing very fast and will make some of the light crops difficult to handle. The west-central area of Saskatchewan, centering on Rosetown, experienced hot dry winds which have given the crop a further setback and ripening Is too fast for normal filling. Considerable crop Is being cut for feed with mowers and, although the feed situation has improved, more rain is required.
