questions oi' labor and finance, and other questions, that the bulletins didn't attempt to answer.

These are some of the problems which thc district re-

iprcsentatlves are expected to solve. and which they will solve, provided the farmers cooperate with them. They will be the "men oil the spot," personally acquainted with the conditions in their respective districts, in touch with the central laboratories and experimental station, with the latest. discoveries in agricultural science, with the mar- kets, with market conditions-and in touch with tlie farm- ers, to confer with them, to advise and to enable them to apply the discoveries of agricultural science lo their fnrruiug operations.

Anil yet with all the help the government can ltivc

with :ill the science that can be brought to bear on the work of thc farm. all will depend on the farmers them- selves. The development of our farm work must como l'rom the inside.

Before anyone can become an efficient manager of ri

How will we reach the indifferent farmer? It copies

down in a. question of leadership. We must. have lenders t.o inject. new life into the fellows who have ceased to think of larger things and this want, we believe will he supplied very largely hy the district representatives who are uow taking up the work in King’s and Prince counties. Some sections are already fortunate in having leaders whom the rank and file are proud to follow. These leaders will co-operate with the district representatives adding strength to strength and greater progress will be the re- suit.

Where there are no leaders. where there is apathy

and perhaps discouragement. a new enthusiasm will be awakened by the general forward move mow ln progress and larger and more profitable crops, greater content- ment and greater prosperity will he the result. The thing is lo get in. line, to pull together, to aim at the general good; with thot. individual good is assured.

The Government of Nova Scotia proposes to levy an

emergency tax of 1 per cent. on the gross earnings of com- panies doing business in the province. The province ran its expenditure last year some $200,000 over its revenue,

FULL BENCH TO DECIDE iF

ALLEN WILL GET NEW TRIAL.

H.-iLlFAX, March 20.- In the slip-

reme criminal court yesterday after- noon Judge Longley granted the ap- plication of counsel for Harry Allen. found guilty of murdering James R. Jolluston. lawyer for a stated case be- fore the full bench. The point. on which the application was granted was the absenting of a jurynian from the care oi’ the sheriff for about twelve minutes, after court adjourned for lunch, on the day of the trial. It appears that in leaving the court room one of the jurymen got away and went home for lunch. As soon as the sheriff learned of this the missing juryman was gone after and brought back to the jury room.

Counsel for the prisoner applied

for stated case on three points, name- ly. mlsdlrectlon of the judge's charge to the jury, the judge not explaining what is meant by “liomicld'e," and the absenting of a jurymen. Judge Long- ley refused to grant the first two. but granted the third, he said, in view of the importance of the case;

Allen was remanded for sentence

until April 4th.
