She counted as her own 111,300 square miles. of territory which, by the Privy‘ Council, has been awarded to New.‘ fondland!

Everyone knows the dellclousiiess‘ ofthose home-made items as con»! pared with the imported product: Everyone knows and admires the‘, pride of the hostess who can say at her well appointed table, "I put all these up myself." v There are dozens oi ladies in this‘ province who put up their own fruits and the other extras upon which they“ justly pride themselves and whose table Is always a delight to partake of. _ Some day a lady with a genius for organizing and with the neces- sary knowledge, will start an indus- try of this kind, not in a factory but in the homes and with the co-operw tion of other ladies, and it will grow to such proportions which will place the imported product where it properly belongs, in the country of its birth. Some time also it will be a matter of patriotic‘ pride to set down to a baniluet or a pdblic din- ner every item comprising it being grown and prepared in the pro- vlnce. This has been done in many less favored countries than Prince Edward Island. The lady who starts this and carries it to a suc- cessiul issue will be a heroine and ‘g benefactor, and her name will be renrolled among the immortal.

1 Latterly the seed potato 8111111119 has been given considerable ‘airing and the consensus of opinion among our best informed farmers is that this, carried beyond the bounds 015 prudence, carried to the 1101111 01 making a big thing or losing all, is one of the most inexcusable forms of gambling. A farmer has a 116119111- right to use his land as he pleases, has a right to acquire more 111111 more land and use it, all in the hope oi making a fortune on seed pqghgoog or any other crop. And he may make the expected fortune; also he may lose all that he has D111 into it, money. time and land. The prudent man will not take such n risk. It is of the same form of gdmblingwhich induces the gambl- er to stake all his money 011 111° turn of a gamblingwheel. 0f course, he has the gambler's chance to win, also the gamblers chance to lose his all and W8 119119119 111111 statistics prove that in the end the losses in all forms of gambling 111"? iar in excess of the gains.

This province oi ours is adapted for mixed iarming. T111118 B15 countries and sections of countries in which only one particular crop is possible. 1n such places there is no choice. It is this one thing or nothing, but her there is no need of taking such risks. _We are alwailfl sure oi a good, profitable crop pro- vided we spread our efforts over all the crops that are possible and for all-of which there is a re market.

as has been frequently pointed out, we have three assured sources of agricultural revenue. namsli‘. dairying, poultry and hogs. These can be successfully carried 0n so as to be auxiliary helpful to all our other agricutltural activities. With quality safeguarded in these, the world's best‘ market and tliediigh- est prices are assured. We shall make a serious mistake if we de- part to any considerable extent from our general system oi mixed taming. The thing to aim at is variety, and, in all cues, the best quality that human skill can pro- duce. This will open to us the‘

it was the practice of Maritime farmers of an earlier day to rnisc enough wheat to feed thefi own families, so that little or no money was sent ollt of the province to purchase food. It was d sound and prudent practice good for the individual and for the country at large. The home grown wheat. ground in the local mill was health. 'ful and it gave employment to the local grist mill, now mostly abandoned to the detriment of all concerned. We have been growing seed potatoes at a good profit for some years past, but there is this year a danger o! over-production, of which warning has been given to the farmers of the potato- growing State of Maine and repeated by Mr. J. 0. Hyndman and others hero.

It takes much o} the shine off

learn that nearly as much money as is yearlyweceived for potatoes is sent abroad from this agricul- tural province to lblly wheat and flour to feed our own people, and this is truer of Nova Scotla and lNew ‘Brunswick than of our own province. Here in we have a warn- ing and uninducement t6 do better in the future by raising more wheat and not taking too large a risk of over-production in potatoes. The danger of which repeated warnings have been gllven must be regarded as a very real one.

The Duncan Report goes over for another week in Parliament not- withstanding Premier King's return in health and vigor. So far it has been one delay after another while the anti-ilyiarltime propaganda has had the fullest opportunity to sow the seeds of prejudice and section- alism against us and the Duncan Report. It is therefore some mea- sure of relief to learn that next week has been definitely fixed as the date for the Maritime case to be taken up in Parliament.

In referring to War Memorials the other day we inadvertently omitted an important and highly creditable one erected ‘by the lPi-esbyterian congregation at Murray li-iai-bor North.
