DEPARTMENT 0F AGRICULTURE
No department of the public service has kept in closer
toucli with or contributed more to the general prosperity of the province than the Department of Agriculture. Other departments have to do largely with outlays upon neces- saries, the only returns from which are the C0I\V€l1l€l1C€ and comfort of the people. The Department of Agricul- ture has to do with the administration of our “million acre farm." and its outlays, like seed sown. will determine
the harvest.
While our “million acre farm" has. like many of the
individual farms of which it is composed. been fairly suc- cessful and always afforded a substantial living, it re mained for the present Commissioner of Agriculture, llon. Murdoch McKinnon, to effect the transformation from pioneer to modern conditions. The development of Agri- culture iii the past few years has been phenomenal. Ma- chinery has been set in motion which places our province in the forefront among thc agricultural countries of the world and while, necessarily, in so short a time. the work has been largely foundational it has been widespread- ing and effective and cannot fall to increase the harvests
in the years to come.
Realizing the need of modern methods one of the first
acts of the Commissioner of Agriculture on assuming office was the establishment of educational Short Courses for farmers. The enthusiasm with which our farmers, young 'ind old, took hold of this method at once demon- strat- . its need and its popularity. At the classes first held there was all attendance of about 500 farmers, a record unparalleled in any other province in t`anada lu proportion to population. And the following years were equally successful. Over a thousand of our young farmers have through this means received a grounding in agricul- tural educatioii. the fruits of which will he reaped through all the coming years.
Coincident with this movement was the organization of
Women`s institutes, of which there are now over thirty, scattered all over the province, and working in conjunc- tion with the schools and the homes. This branch of the Agricultural Department has enlisted the co-operation of hundreds of women throughout llic province who have en- tered heart and soul into the work of raising the standard of our schools, brightening the rural life and making the province a more attractive place to live in. ln Ontario niuch of the progress evident in agricultural lines is attri- buted to the influence of Women`s Institutes and we have no doubt the institutes in this province will play an equally important part in the development now in progress.
Demonstration work in orchards, begun by experts
from the Agricultural Colleges, and now conducted by our own people; the organization ol’ egg circles, of stock breed- ers’ associations, of fruit growers, of seed growers, all these are part of the machinery set in motion or made more efficient by the Coniniissioner of Agriculture since he assumed office, and now being quietly and efficiently operated.
These movements and activities naturally led to the
greatest move of ull, the introduction of agricultural edu- cation into our schools and Prince of VVales College. What this will mean to a purely agricultural province like ours is inestimalile und will be ii large factor in _the future de- velopment of the province.
The bringing together of these various organizations
and merging them into a general educational movement was a piece of administrative work that reflects the great- est credit upon Hon. Mr. McKinnon, the efficient head of this department, and has elicited unstinted praise from educatlonists and agriculturists in our sister provinces as Wen as f"0m 01" OWU People. Under his management the Agricultiiral Department has become a living, active force. as have all the other departments of our progressive Gov. ernment. The department is now actively represented in
eac-_li of the counties of the province by a district represen. tativc, and it remains for the farmers to make the utmost use of the advantages thus placed within their reach.
Throiigli the district representatives they are in much not only with the Provincial Department, but wltli the Federal
Department and also with the agricultural colleges of the Dominion and through all these, with all that is modern and up-to-date in agriculture.

What will it mean when the Germans are re- inforced by many thousands of seasoned soldiers from the Galician frontier? We have been consoling ourselves with the_hopa that the ever victorious British forces could
many could put up against them. Wie still cling to this hope but we cannot ignore the fact that our losses have been fearfully heavy and that unless we pour in more mop they will be heavier still. A gain of a few yards a day will

Does lt matter to them wheth- er the Empire shall come through this struggle crippled. that for want of men lives arebaing sacrificed that might he saved if we all came to their help? _ _ ln Great Britain conecrlption is being seriously con- sidered for the simple reason that hundreds of men who should be at the front are playing foot ball or cricket or otherwise enjoying themselves. This class of men have of late been so openly despised that they scarcely dare show
themselves in public and ball games have been tabooed. The loyal citizens or the Empire. men and women. are openly "cutting" the cowards who prefer the pleasures and comforts of ure to doing their riiieyf at the-rrontfano a similar feeling is rapidly growing among Candelaria.
For the present there is one clear call to every man-
` that call is duty, and that duty is to help save the Empire.
Every man eligible for service knows his own circum- stances. knows whether his home ties are such as to pre- vent his going to the front. His neighbors also know and appreciate or despise accordingly. _
There are many who 'cannot go without injustice to
those dependent upon them. They can help in other ways; they can give of their abundance. There are many who can go, who can as well be spared at home as those wht! have gone. No obstacle should be placed in their way DY parents or others. lt is a plain duty, the duty of men.
lt is sincerely hoped for the sake of our manhood. of
the province, of the Empire, that the recruiting campaign now in progress will result creditably to our manhood and to our province and that in a few days we shall be able to announce the departure of enough men to make up the quota asked of Prince Edward Island.
A CRUMB 0F COMFORT
The poor Patriot has found a crumb of comfort in the
report of the Superintendent of Education for 1912, and 011 this crumb he builds a. twocolumn editorial, well na_med “a laboured and lame defence." Here is the crumb: ‘ The
. l V C' V ties except their own pleosiire 'littl who have n right to ' ‘ ‘
` / give this service to their country. la there any consider- . Ill
____ __ ¢'/ _. .
`_ work in many of our schools is in some respects SUFDFIS'
ingly good." lt ends with a comma, not a period as tl1l0\@d by The Patriot. Here is the rest of the crumb which. if quoted would have fallen far short of the Patriot's present need of comfort. Continuing, the “crumb” 8095 0¥\_afte" the comma, “as is made evident when our young men and women come into competition with students from other provinces. (The Patriot might have quoted this without detriment to its hopes, but evidently wanted to keep as far as possible from what followed.) The "crumb" con- tinues pitilessly: “But there is one respect in which our system of education is deplorably weak. lf one were to S0 into any good rural school and question the pupils in the most advanced grade, he would find that very few of the_1n have any intention of farming, or learning a trade or in- deed of engaging ln any of the occupations generally termed productive."
Here the Superintendent laid bare one ot' the SWB*
weaknesses of the former system of education, one, the remedylng of which has been undertaken by the present Board of Education with the result that already agricul- ture is being taught in the schools as part of the regular curriculum.
But why waste time and space in comparing the present
school system with that which ended with the disappear- ance of the late Liberal party? There is no comparison. The schools under the Liberal regime sharcd in the general decrepltude that overtook every other department and un- der `which. finally, the party itself succumbed. To-day there is life and vigor and optiinlsm. The people are satieifieil and they will only smile at The Patriots attempts to rc- surrect the old party by making such silly statements as those contained in its two columns of “laboured and lame defence" in yesterday's issue. \Vheii it characterises thc changes introduced by the present Government into our school system as “fads” and "red tape". it has reached thelimit of stupidity. Are the cheaper school books it fad? Is agricultural education a. "fad'f? Is the increase in teachers’ salaries a "fad"-or are they all “red tape.” They are rather the proverbial “red rag" that drives a certain animal into impotent rage.
The Patrlot's comparisons are amusing and, although
not so intended, educative.
_Norms
Roumania has agents placing large orders for war sup-
plies in the "United States. This looks promising.
At the present rate, one thousand British slilps reach
port safely for every one torpedoed. Chances are still good.
Two young German' women who were hurt when the
Zeppellns bombarded London were removed to a hospital. There was an argument for leaving them where they were. but a stronger argument to care for them.

ll S. S. “Lusitania” insurance'
So far as can be gathered at present, the in-
surance losses consequent upon the sinking of the “Lusitania” are as follows:-Life, about $650,000; accident, about $760,000; marine, about $6,000,000. The British War Risk Bureau has $4,800,000 of the marine insurance loss.
Another evidence of the value of Insurance. It is always well to be prepared against all
contingencies.
The only SAFEGUARD is to carry alnsurance. We will be glad cf an opportunity to serve
