` Referring to the letter elsewhere in this issue’

from the Department. of Agriculture, perusual of which we commend to our readers, we wish to state emphatically, as our editorial on the subject clearly stated, that we have .no disposition to in any way dis- courage the proposed dairy competition. As stated in our previous article the aim is a laudable one but

our C0m`eSl)0ndent’S admission that less than f ty mipetlients, bitt at the same time,

pei' cent of all the herds in the province have so -far

only strciigthens the doubt \ve then expressed thatl the undertaking would materially help the rank and file of our fa ‘mers, who are most in need of assis- tance. It is True, as our correspondent says, that “this is the first dairy competition in which thc, smaller patrons and farmers were permitted..io com-, pete amongst themselves and where the “so-called, professional prize-winners were barred.” When wc. remember that less than 2l,f_» percent of all our farm- ers, and they are most progressive ones, and _outside this conipetiti_oii_ now practise iiidividu_al testing and that practically all \vho take pai‘t in this competition must 'take up what too many of the_m now regard as a waste of time, the most optimistic among _us will admit that the prospect of a general competition iS not'particularly encouraging.

method of meeting a situation that is admittedly difficult. The New- York Sun-Herald, one of the best informed newspapers in the United States unquali- fiedly commends the system adopted in C_ana_da. The following extracts from a recent editorial in, that

paper speak for themselves: 1

“The Canadian Government’s courageous and de-

debt. Against this there were visible revenue and,

cash of onlv $071,000,000. Some means had to be

found to make up the deficit of $129,000,000. Appar-l

tly the budget framers were more engrossed in

ed that fertilizer had wrokeq only eight. hours-all but liimsclf. By the time he arrived at his own goto he had also arrived at uno the con- clusion, namely, 'that he was a fool. Next dur he took measures to sell his farm and all that it contained. The plurrc is now available for

some immigrant.

The farmer has ti moral sense

that is extremely just and discern- ing. lt is offended by persons who will not do the work _they are en- gaged to do. He may ln his own experience have known a man who promised to work and failed at the lust moment. lt is not probable ,that that he ever su\v ii man lay dnwn his tools in the midst of his job to the less of his employer. S-iich an act would be too infamous. .-\nd yet he reads in his newspaper that the custom of the city is for

men to slilrk their toil, to sleze a`

critical nicment for making fresh di-ni:in.f“. '_o contrlve against those who a:~. i:ilthl`ul, and lnliiniilatc those who would fill ii di-serie# 'piact~. llo- suspects that the trouble lies much deeper. Ile bo- liovos that labor unions break their contracts with the design of breaking down society and govern- ment, tlint, ln short, labor is an enemy to state; its poiicy_ delibe- rate and political, controlled through ine United States as part of :i Eiirapcan conspiracy against civilization. Labour is feared and paiupfreii by the government. Ac- cording to its' own confession labzrir exists in virtue of a tariff \vlii.:li the country imposes upon itself. The farmer has his cold cye upon. tnis tariff and upon its resultant, labour. llc never did pamper il: lie does not now fear il.. lie has the old weapon in his\liand »~-starvation. If a man will not work neither shall he eat.

Tho farmer is himself caught in

the web of circumstance. He does not strive against his fate. He _-it-iff-pi.~ ii. iie win not employ !:ibour after he finds it troublesome or uncertain. He will restrict his iipwatlons wltliln the compass of his own hands. He will deliver liiiiiself over to no hired man. Let the labourer seek the city if he will. Let him have his dollar an hour, sell his product to himself,- anil starr: in the end. The situa-

tion new is precisely that which i-xirryteil in the Middle Age. Ziicn would not r.'iiiain on the land. liaws were C-nucteil to restrict thi-il' wandi~rlni_',. it was all useless.

'i`lic_vf may now he as prodigal as they like. They will come back in the end, but thore will be no fattcd calf for their reception. This is now the actual situation ln Rus- sia. The well-to~do peasant is

`clasi-ied _with the bourgeoisie, us the

oneniy of the proletariat. But

there is this important distinction; the Canadian furuier is not a Rus-

siiin peasant. V `

The truth is the city luis always

been llic enemy of the country, di'ainin`g away its life and destroy- ing lt. in the time of Elizaihctli an Or|ler~in-(Toiincil was passed directing that no new houses shoiild he erected within teii uiilo_; of the inetropoliii, ami that all new buildings lu the city should be pulled down. in the next ri-ig.i all p;~r.~:on:< having 'houses in thc country were orilered to repair lo their homes, and give to their neigiibors un example of good lioiisek-coping.

One d'iy in the spring of 1918-

the day the long gun was fircd ~ three French soldiers entered an c itaminct in ii siuali town in north- ern France. One picked up ii pup- cr and began to read. “What is the news," his comrades asked. "The news is good,” he answered with i-oinplael-ncy; "thc shells are fall- ii gr in l‘arls." This soldiercxpress- 1-il the ancient and intimate hostili- tv that has always existed between the city and the land. It was not for nothing that the prophets al- ways pointed their prophecy against the cities., A city justifies itself as :i centre of intellectual and moral stimulus; but whoever heard of any intelligence proceeding l`ron\ Toronto or morality emanating iroia Mciilreul?

i~`:iruilng is an art. .lt cannot bo

dis.~'oclateil from the suit. The soil must be learned as an artist learns his materials. It cannot. be learn- ed in one generation. The know- ledge must be inherited. An im- migrant who is ii good fiiriucr in one locality will full on an un-

known soll. Therefore tho niigrii~

tion from the city to the liiutl is not so hopeful u remedy as it appeared at ilrsl sight. Few remedies are.

The situation in c»is'f»rn ffanadn

now is ‘fmt ii farmer \\lli not. plant more crop than he can harvest with his nwn actual two hands. lic can no longer depend upon hired labour. His help mii'y leave him nt n critical moment. Last sinu- mer n farmer, returned froui the war, had laid out an elaborate plan for the cultivation of three hund-
