, ORGANIZATION.

Canada is being organized to-day as never before.

In every province and in every municipality, under one central head, namely the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa, this organization process is being en- gineered \\'itli a view to a greater measure of produc- tion and a higher standard of quality. Until the for- ward movement no\v in progress was inaugurated agri- cultural developineiit in Canada was a sort of go-as-you please individual effort, each farmer and each trader doing his best to out-wit or out-do his neighbor or his competitor. The result \vas a~ heterogeneous race ,in which only the few succeeded and by which the ge- neral betterment of the people made little progress. Ontario farmers led the way and other provinces fol- lowed more or less successfully, in organization by va- rious movements which resulted in farmers’ institutes, \vomen’s agricultural clubs and co-operative societies, of different kinds. _

It remained for Hon. Martin Burrell, the present

Minister of Agriculture, to plan the organization of the whole Dominion and this organization is no\v iii progress and is already making its influence felt. To enable him to carry his plan to a successful issue the. federal government made a generous appropriation to be extended over a period of ten years, each province to receive its proportionate _share, the grant increas- ing year by year as the need and the opportunities for expending it to the best advantage developed. As a re- sult of this grant not only every province but every farmer in every province is in direct touch with the. Department of Agriculture, with the Agricultural Col- leges and the experimental farms of the Dominion and of the world. The best methods that science has dis- covered, the best process of cultivation, the most proli- tablc varieties of product and the most practicable ways to the world’s best markets, are no\v within reach of every farmer through the medium of the District Representatives, the short courses in Agricultlire, and the personal work of the different trained experts ein- ployed by the Department. There is no longer any excuse for slipshod methods of farming or of inarke- ting, no longer any excuse for yearly losses on account of inferior quality. The best is within reflch of every one wlio'chooses to stretch out his hand to grasp it.

This orgpnization is inaking splendid progre<<. in

om sister provinces. Every farmer, apparently, is alive to the opportunities within his reach and deter- mined to make the best of them, and not only the fa-.'~ mers but the merchants, the manufacturers, the banks., and in fact practically all the interests of the country that are to bebcnelited by the greater prosperity. \\"ei note by the current number of the Agricultural Gazette. just received, that in Saskatcliewan a number of the merchants are contributing generous prizes for coni- petition iii the schools that have adopted one or more of the rural science studies. One firm in \\'eyburn, is giving $50 for prizes in a Household Science cotnest; another a similar amount for .\laiiual training, another the same amount for the school showing tlie cleanest bill of health, aiiotlter for practical operation of first

aid. The Canadian Bank of Commerce in \Veyburn David Laird W35 editor Ui that PaPei'~ '“""°”°° has offered to “lend up to $50 to each member of the Tilt? Pififiii exiiibiiioii ‘ii baffled “iid imP0i°“i by WJ' Mu”-'

Throughout our province at present a strong move

is being made to improve our dairy output, to raise the standard of our dairy cattle, to increase production ge- nerally on the farms, to increase the efficiency of our schools and so give our children a living chance in the race which they must so soon enter and which is yearly accelerating its pace. In this move, if it is to be sno- cessful, the hearty and willing co-operation of all is imperative. Anything short of that means failure.- Let us then examineour ways; seek out our faults, ac-' knowledge them manfully`and, like the repentant sin- ner resolvc to do better. Let us, instead of measur- ing ourselves by ourselves, take lfs our standards 'those \vho are doing better than we are. ' There are no great-' er opportunities than ours provided \ve make the right use of them. _ - 2 ‘ __- . _ `

THAT 20 PER SHORTAGE.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish a letter from

Mil. C. H. S. Sterns, Presideittof Stems Brothers Limited, Souris in direct contradiction of statements made by .\lr. _]. J. Hughes in the Hpusc of Commons and previously referred to in the Guardian. .\Ir. Hughes made the direct charge that only conserva- tives had been asked to tender for army suppliesand that in the town of Souris supplies were being fiimish- ed 20 per cent. short. Mr. Stems gives the lie direct to these charges and those \vho know both men will unhesitatingly believe .\lr. Steriis.

It is scarcely necessary to comment on the dastard-

ly conduct of a man who in the hope of some indefinite political gain, will make chargeswhich he either knows are untrue or does not know or care whether they are true or not, who will vilify his neighbors and cast re- flections upon the honesty and integrity of those whoni lie is supposed to represent in parliament. But this l12lS been from the beginning the Hughes method and as it was in the beginning so, we fear, it shall be to the end of the Hughes’ chapter, which the sooner it closes, the better it will be for what is left of Mr. Hughes’ reputation and for his constituency.

\Vill the Patriot, which published the foul charge

against the Messrs Sterns 'Brothers' of Souris and against the military authorities now have the niaiili- ness to tell thc truth and admit, as .\Ir. Steriis has charged, that the statements made by Mr. Hughes “are utterly false and unfounded”? Or will it treat this as it did the list of contractors for army supplies which it had asked for and which was published in the Guar- dian, refuse to publish it because such publication would falsify its own and Mr. Hughes statements. If the Patriot has not reached the bottom in the fall which it has recently been deploring and exemplify- ing it will hasten to make the auieudc /ionoilrablr in this case at least.
