E REV-IVIFIED FARM.

0n the illustration Station at Montague, conducted by Mr. Fred McIntyre, a potato field of two acres prodhced this year 1.018 bushels of Irish Cobbler, certified need potatoes. This farm was vis- ited by a Guardian representative last August and was described at that time. it w-ill be remembered the‘ the potato field referred to

tions not only of the fann but of Mr. Mc- Intyre applied '22 tons of barnyard manure and 1067 pounls of 56-9 fertilizer mixture. The potatoes were planted in rows 32 inches apart and sixrinches apart in the rows to prevent the tubers being oversize for seed potatoes. Tllc crop was wonderfully uniform ill size and free from disease.

Potatoes were not the only thing on this farm. On a new meadow a yield of three tons and 620 pounds per acre of cured mixed hay was harvested. On anotlu-l- section of four acres there was a yield of three tons 1100 pounds of clover per acre.

There was a yield of 30 tons 1853 pounds of turnips to the acre, a yield of 10 tons and 1807 pounds of sunflower per acre and other sim- ilar yields.

The difference between buyltlg at

homo and buying abroad is the dif- ference between helping the home

province and helping some other

province or country. it is also the difference between keeping the home market for Canadians and letting it be exploited by foreigners.

‘if our province is to prosper us it ought to, as it has unexcclled prospects of prosperlng, we must tlrat of all, buy from and sell to our

own, keep up our own institutions. ‘. patronize our own industries and if we are not

as a province or as a people. We are sending millions of money out of our province for goods which we are compelled to import because,

we cannot produce them at home

When we add e single dollar to

this which we could leave at home

when we huy from departmental ltorcl in other provinces goods which we could buy from our own merchants we are committing the crime of disloyalty against our own homes and our

unperdonable

own province.

The political game has been played with loaded dice and the dice are still loaded. ‘Prom -the Customs probe conducted by a parliament- ary commlttee representing both political parties the King Govern- ment emerged brulsed, blackened and disgraced. It was decided to continue ithe probe and, if poe- slble, to clean up the mess. For this-purpose Sir Francois Lemieux, Chief Justice of Quebec, was ap pointed to conduct the inquiry and to get at the facts. He was regard- ed as eminently fitted for the posi- tion, a man who would not be turn- ed aside by political or other influ- ence. ‘He began his enquiry; other appointments the commission were nlnlle, cvicntly for political

Ohlclqob drainage canal which turns a great volume of lake water into the Mississippi. has become a serious international question be- tween Canada and the United States and also a matter of grave controversy between Chicago and six ‘States of the lRlepubllc which halve a frontage on the lakes. These six ‘States are deeply interestediu vmelntaining the water level in their lake ports and all the way through the River Saint Lawrence route to the sea.' and ‘they have their complaint now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States at ‘Washington.

The strike has now continued for eight months and although over 300,000 of the miners have ‘been compelled by want to return to the pits, these are but a fraction compared with the number who are still idle.
