STRAWBERRY CULTURE
The paper on Strawberry Culture by Mr. Frankly
Bovyer, read before- the Development Commission andy'
published elsewhere in this issue, is one that should read everybody who can command an acre or two
tlieoietical possibilities. He is simply telling what he himself has accomplished o_ii a few acres of land, tel- lng it, not boastfully but `at the suggestion of the Dc- vclopment Commission, to show others what can be done in perhaps the most profitable line that any far-_ mer in this province could adopt. .\Ir. Bovycr's' sue. cess was remarkable and he frankly tells the secret of' his success-back-bending, thorough eradication of weeds, plenty of stick-to-it avincss-and, although Mr. Bovyer did not mention it» good, sound common sense in studying the markets and their requirements.
A noteworthy comment made by Mr. Bovyer is that
he had more difficulty in marketing 5,000 boxes of strawberries- when that constituted his whole crop, than he had when hc could place 60,000 boxes on the market, This is true not of strawberries alone but of everything we produce. There have been small souls \vho had an idea that if the manufacture of butter and cheese, the production of eggs and poultry, the rearing of live stock, the production of small fruits etc_» should be generally taken up by our farmers the market in each case would become glutted. Fortunately this idea is no\v about extinct. If our province were one straw- berry plot and yielding as abundantly as Mr. Bovyer's garden did, there would still bea market and a profi- table one for strawberries. The trouble heretofore has been that we did not produce enough to make a market. When I\lr_ liovyer had only 5000 boxes to sell he was obliged to sell them in our little home market although the great big world outside was at the same time hun- gering for strawberrics_ Our home market for every- thing we produce is exceedingly small, so small that it could be gluttcd ina season if there were no other mar- ket. The only possibility of glutting our home market in any commodity is to produce so little that the over- flow is not sufficiently large to reach other markets. \\"hat was left of .\lr. l}ovyer’s 5,000 boxes of straw- berries after the home market had been satisfied could not he shipped profitably to outside points. \Vhen he was able to send them in carload lots, however- he found that the demand for thcm` was unlimited. We trust this lesson from Mr_ Bovyer's experience will bc taken to heart by those who are producing other lines for it is trite of them all,
Aiiotlicr point to be noted is that Mr. l'Jovyer’s suc-
cess was achieved at a time when transportation difii- culties were at their mzxiin-im. It will be infinitely more advantageous, both in point of dispatch and in quality of the fruit, when direct shipments without re- handling can be made' by the Carferry to any point on the continent. I
One of the advantages in strawberry culture in this
province is the fact that our season is the latest in the strawberry belt. \\'hcn the southern crop-has been consumed our strawberries are at their best. This gives ns sole control of the market all over the conti- nent and there is no danger of our glutting it, As tothe protitableness of the business itt is sufiicicnt to say only that i\1r_ Llovyer raised 6o»ooo boxes on an area of less than six acres. There are hundreds offfarms ranging from fifty to one hundred acres in size in the province that do not yield as much value as Mr. l}ovyer’s six acres. 'l`hi_~' also is a matter for serious consideration especially by those owners of one hundred acre farms on which ten properly cultivated acres are not to be found.
\Vc coniinend 1\lr_ l}ovyer's letter to our reudci's_
It should be an inspiration, a new impetus to better di- rection of effort on our farms. Strawberry culture is only one of the 'lines that can be followed' profitably but it is a big and a profitable one. We trust there shall soon be many more like it and that at not too distant a date this Island will he depended npoii for straw- berries hy all North America. ,

GERMAN nEiiiiniL|zATioN
The tipliftiiig" cliect of war, which German philo-
sophers and even German preachers of the.gospel ex- patiated so eloquently upon during thecarly days of the war, is now being exemplified among the civilian population, The imniorality and criminaility which were, according to these prophets, to have been curbed by the nobler business of. war has so increased since the outbreak of the war as to disgust even the Ger- mans. Here as a few excerpts from leading German newspapers, The Kreuzzeitung says: “The people are living a life of such repulsive immorality and in- decency- so shameless in its open ostcntation and de- pravity, _that soldiers returning turn their heads away in horror and ask themselves why they should sacrifice themselves for`such a people.. VDid thesexhcrocs know more of the secret of what is reallly goiiig on' they would see that, dark as is the picture on thc surface, it is far darker underneath.”
The Berliner Tageblatt, so often quoted as an au-
thority on German matters says: “News of murders of the most revolting description reach us from all parts of the Empire. Convictions of all kinds of swindling operations occur daily.”
And the editor of the Berlin newspaper backs up
his charges by statements of clergymen, who speak of what has come under their own observation_
At the recent meeting of the General Synod of
Berlin the Rev. Dr, Weber of Bonn declared that con- ditions iii the Provinces of the Rhine were unspeak- able; and the crinnial and immoral contamination of the youth of both sexes was appalling. Other clergy- men told similar tales of their own districts.
The making of supermcn and super\vomen by the
German method has had the inevitable consequences; the philosophy of Might has borne the inevitable fruit. The law of Night governs in the brute creation and produces super-brutcs. “Nature red in tooth and claw" is true only on the brute-level, Man lives on a higher Ilevel but whcn`he attempts to live by the law of the lower he sinks to that level_ 'l`his_is what has happened and is»happening in Germany. It is what will continue to happen until the Germans realize that the Prussianisni which has held them by the throat, which has driven them into this war, which has mad: them a nation of liars, whch has justified murder and rapinc and cruelty, is a form of barbarityswhitli they,
out of their national life before they again enjoy the _blessings of nationhood and of peace. This they shall do eventually but they will require more hardship, more starvation aild more slaughter before they apply 'the remedy.

_ NOTES
The present high prices of butter. cheese, eggs and
meats of all kinds must impress our people with the desirability of feeding the raw products of the farm to some class of live stock. The prices of oats, bran. oil- cal-'c and hay are not much higher than average at this time of year and if in the past it_ paid to feed them, the profits from their hom; consumption this yeai' nlust be handsome. Besides. il must always be borne in mind, that the selling of gf.-in mipoverishes-the larri-
or rather (_l`ppositionist» as politics in New Brunswick
has-in recent years resolved itself into Government aiidtlnetigii of ine;-eased ci-gps,

The Toronto News: “The war has
lent a marked stimulus to the lmperlnl Order of the Daughters ot the Empire. The women of Canada responded readl- ly to the ideals ot this great society, which grows and tlevelopes as there ls need for its services. No fewer than 107 new Chapters have been formed ln the past year, and the orga- nization now embraces 25,000 mem- bers_ The annual meeting was rep- resentative of the whole Dominion. Delegates were in attendance from points its far apart as Halifax and Van- couver. and a most oneournglng re- port was received from the Yukon.
"The activities ot’ the Order are an
widespread as its membership. It ls carrying on a military hospltal ln Lon- don, England, and lt has extended the scope of the Maple Leal.Club f6r the accommodation of Canadian soldiers ln the lmperlal ciipitaI_ It _makes its ln- tluenee felt and does a lot of good through its trans-Atlantle affllliittons Indlvldual Chapters have adopted Ca- nadian .prisoners in German intern- ment egmpa, ln order to supply them with extra food and clothing.
