_ ‘ ' . ‘ the dairyin in- . y; "n ‘lflfilwliglmanufacturg of iii-y butter amounted to 5,418,304 pounds; in p lit was 25,350,000 pounds and indications are t" the outputior the present ear will be much star. In the town of Edmon on more butter is ‘ flnanufactured-than in any other centre in Ca- dn; it has the largest creamery in Canada.‘ Its ur creameries last year produced 7,000,000 pounds f butter and its production is steadily increasing. a -. t year the value of milk products exported from anada was about $60,000,000 while the total product amountedto $247,531,000. The amount of factory cheese produced is steadily declining, while that of butter is increasing. The production of con- densed milk has increased from 15,000,000‘ pounds in 1910 to 110,000,000 in 1919 and in addition there have been increases in milkpowder and creamery "butter. , ‘ It is noteworthy that the increases in milk pro- duction are mainly in the western provinces. Until recently western farmers devoted their attention very largely to “wheat mining." This is gradually giving place tomixed farming and in the past few years western farms are conducted very largely as they are in the e_ast. Before many years we shall have sharp competition in the west with all our farm products.

It is noteworthy also that the westerners who are taking up mixed farming are beginning right; they are developing the dairy industry for farming without dairying, even in the fertile virgin soil of the prairies, cannot be successfully followed up. The dairy herd is the foundation of; farming, in the west as well as in the east.

In the maritime provinces we shall have to look to our laurels in the matter of dairying. In the west where there is almost unlimited land available they do things on a large scale; they know what they are _up against in the dairy business and we may depend upon it they will leave no stone unturned to get to the top of the dairy market. -

As to quantity of dairy product to be put upon the market there is nothing to fear. Both the ex- port business an-d the home consumption will take care of the quantity. What we have to guard care- fully is the quality. On this our hope for holding our own against any competition depends. With quality we can face any competition; we have more than held our own in the‘ British market against the strongest competition Europe had to offer. We

.must now hold it against the best that Canada can do. a

We had hoped that the Patriot as the organ of the government would have thrown some of its light upon the vexed subject of officials. We asked for this information as the public have a right to it and we feel assured the withholding of it is’ much more damaging to the government even than the revela- tion would be. The country is full of rumors. It is currently believed that there are several hundred new officials at large throughout the province, some 45 assessors of different types; several hundred road masters supplemented by a batch of road inspectors the latter brand new appointements; a numbergof bosses and sub-bosses contractors, jobbers, heelers &c., employed on the new “perm'anent" road jobs, in factthat about every second man one meets on the road is either an official or a contractor. Colour is given to these rumors by the governments studied silence on the matter. No doubt there are exaggera- tions but why the oysterlike silence? It issaid that the feverish activity on the roads is to provide jobs for the disgruntled and the kickers, and there is a feeling that~if jobs are to be provided for all the kickers the roads will not stand the strain. Why not let the people know?

\VIIY NOT?

In last Monday’s Guardian there appeared a let-

ter over, thew-signature of Mr. Lemuel Kenney, with a postscript attached, bearing the names of nine persons, and the offer of more if required, confirm- irrgajsatatement which had been denied in a letter in and editorially by the Patriot. To this letter was ap- ‘ended the polite request, “Patriot please copy." he Patriot has not copied it, a journalistic discour- tesy not often resorted to by respectable newspa- pers." The Guardian had published both sides of the story. Why has the Patriot refused? Does it suit its- political purposes to publish one side only of a controversy? Is this the manly course to follow af- ter severely criticizing the Guardian for giving place to Mr. Kenney’s letter? '

Bu! be mes oven further than lhls.

Alllllibl‘ lhis "iurposo hc pleaded will; Farmczs and Labor to Join under the Liber- ul banner lo old him in his admllf tedly hopeless undertaking.

Just so.

And how different this is to his song at the opening of the cam‘ pnhzn. Then the country was only walling for an election for nn op~ porlunliy to hurl lhem from pow- er. Now they are a "United" force, solidly “Held together," "Wiser in their generation than their oppon-

Wlmlgllty and most merciful Father. we begin the dlay conscious of ou-r helplessness, and Thy su- preme and sovereign power. As Thou rlidsl give us life, so we im- plore Thee to sustain it and to make us ready and m for our larger service. For Thy care and protection through the night we praise Thee; the day and the night lo Thee are both alike.

Complaints come from different sections of the province of a “potato louse” which has done consi- derable damage this season. It is now too late to use preventives or poisons for this season but this fellow will need some watching. - It is an old pesti andunder favorable weather conditions such as the’ past summer has been can do much mischief. There 'are three varieties of the species, green, pink and black, some of themwinged. The green devotes its attention to potatoes, the others attack crops indis- criminately.

there are recessions from ‘the Gov- ernment to the Partner's party but not lo any degree nu oxtenlivo u those from the Liberal rnnkn. This disquieting fact, the big foundation for the PWEAKENING? - of their federal neld forces, is as he sees ll “the handwriting of u most cerluln political doom. Ii is as clear as the noondny sun that wllh his own party thus hopelessly divided, and their opponents, Farmers, Labor. Professional and industry oi‘ every clues and form-presenting a solid “UNITED FRONT TO THE SCAT- TERED FORCES OF PROGRESS- ION," his “scattered forces" will be badly distanced. These facts should stimulate our Conservative former friends ln their delermlna- lion lo give Premier Meighenb ex~ cellenl agricultural policy u fair and reasonable trial. '

0n this subject a splendid letter appeared in Thursday's Guardian from a “United Farmer," with whose reasoning we are in full or; rccmenl, although we reach differ» onl conclusions. We would-like lo hear olteney from such men, dis- cussing lhe question in tbe‘llgbt of reason and ln a genllemanly way and bringing about an inter- change of opinions which cannot fall lo be profitable to both sides of this important issue.’ He says. most truly, "lhnl we have nothing ‘o gain by taking lhe country's nf- fairs oui of the hands of one par- ly, which is dominated by the pro- fessional element and handing ll to another controlled and dominat- ed by the same class." This is the essence of common sense and the :rux of lhe whole issue. Now our farmer ‘friend will surely admll those principles of human rlglils which guarantees equal justice lo all. Does his argument propose lo to "take the country's affairs oul oi‘ lhebnnds of one party" “dom- inated b‘ the professional ele- ment," and then hand it to another party, dominated by the formers element’! Would he wish to see two great parties, one represenllnr: clty and industrial life, which slat» tlstlcally ls the largest, and the other-n farmers partyf-each op~ poslng’ and fighting against the other. each upholding his own pec- ullur interests and the strongest oi these dominating the Could be conceive ol‘ anything more disastrous to lhe welfare of both these grenl classes or more des- tructive lo the best interests of our beloved Canada? Wzpld it be pos~ sible under such ru rshlp for ellh- er industry or agriculture lo have even a reasonable fuir play under such conditions’! What a fratrlcldal conflict it would produce, brother against brother and town against country. Just glve lo lhls sober and reason- able lhoughi. Two great und pow» erful forces, each‘ depending enor- mously upon the other, industry upon the farmer l'or llle food lie eats, and the farmer upon industry for his clolhes,. his fools and im- plements, his coal nnd the trans portallon and consumption of his surplus products. We any ihnt lo set up any standard by which n clvll commercial, or D0llllClll1W8l' would be declared between these parties would be the ulllma tum of human madness. Rather than talk of farmers parties or labor or any other parties, we should Instil- ute a most determined drlvc io bring all these forces lnio a sllll closer unlon, so that-in the inter- ‘change of views and opinions and in the pooling of our intelligence and counsels, we can the better work out the grant problems o! the nnllon.

But some of our United Farmers suggest lhai lhey propose a broad policy that will safeguard every interest. Even so, and supposing they curry out lhnl policy fairly nnd honestly lius industry no right io its part in the formulation of it? 0r take another probability, yen certainly, lf farmers united absol- utely, could industry nvold the
