PLENDID ADDRESS BY DR. J. W. .RUBERTSUN _-i-l_..___€ ~ _ tConllnued from page one.) _ that is nothing short of appalling. lzv-cn if peace should he won tins rear.. severe privalions from our Allies are sure to continue until after llie liarvests of 1919 and are reaped. ' Tiir. ioi\:siiiii.i'rv"tins ox ns. Since the war began tli_e farmers of_ the Maritiine l‘rovinces -ha\e.risen to the great_occasioii nobly. Sonic of the best of them sealed their devotion by the supreme sacrifice of .service unto brothers for the army until the farms are stripped almost bare of ne- cessary labor, I honor the men _and ivonien who have toiled bravely, early and late to the last ounce of their strength. It has been for a great cause. Now, as ever, he that endurctli to the end shall be saved. S0 we tiiust not now slackcn our efforts. The logical se- queiice_t0 the work that has been done for greater production is to follow it by a. further effort for still greater production. \Ve shouyl use all the experience we have tlitis far gained in planning and carrying forward a caiiipaigii for 'larger :iereages and higher yields in 1oiS _and_ the years that are to follow. We can better meet the needs of the Allies by the production of food than by any other service. The farmers of North America are in a better position than those of anv other grain productlng section of the globe to contribtite to the food needs of the armies in Europe. A given tonnage of shipping can Carry over twice as much grain from Ainerica as from Arirentiiiii arid three limes as niucli as from Australia or New Zealand. i It ls vital at this juncture and will continue vital until the end of the war that shipping be employed on the routes where it can be used to greatest t\d\'at1tage. One of the most et`fective ways to coiiserve shipping is to provide as large a proportion as possible of the food requirements of the Allies from Canada. Bear this in mind: \\`lien a ship is sentto Aiistralia for foods for thc,/\llics 'it means one less ship on the Atlantic route. in tiic time consumed to make one trip from Australia, the sliip_could make three trips across the Atlantic--.equal to one cargo of foods and tim other cargoes such as men and equipment of the new American Arniyp SINGLE I‘l.Al\’TS /\.\`l.) SlI\’t`iL[i DITIES. The personal effort of iiidividiials is the only, way whereby the supply of foodcan be increased. Under modern conditions one cannot expect the earth to receive a miraculous shower of manna; Niagaraof wheat to till the empty granaries and elevators is not to expected; food coriies from siiiglepliiiits'produced by nature in with the intelligent labor of individuhls. It is necessary and ferveiit in conserving what has been produced, in all wa'.~ite and in shifting our own consumption froiii flour an which tl.c armies and civilian populations need frotii to other which cannot be sent overseas. coiiiputation of the reduction in the consumption of bacon and flour, by iiieaiis of the compulsory regulations of pub- eating places and voluntary eo-operalioii of'the women, shows that a.inounts.saved are sufhcieiit to provide those foods for an army lot' r1ir)' prosperity _of intuiition ivorkers, many of receiving liiglier wages than ever before, has resulted in ex- bttying and living. 'I`:ikiiig all iliese factors into considera- iio exaggeration to say that the world at present faces a food of food and the danger of fainiiie iii sonic of the countries ‘death in llelgiuni and I"i‘a1ice. Those at home have spared sons audi of /\griculture_and the L`ari:ida Food llourd. , - 'l`hese Departments eariicstly request every farmer to eu-operate heartily in the means adopted and with the local t`.re:tter l'i‘oduction or other Coinniittees that may be orgaiiizcil for the purpose of pro- moting Agrietilluriil production and to do his p:ir_t to iiicrease his acreage of cultiva_ted crops by at least live acres on the ziverage. \\`l£I'lK DliDI(.`A'I`liD` T() l’I{l"lI’.'\I{i\'I`lOi\l. ~'l`he Lieutenant-(ioveriior will be advised to proclaiin llie third week of April _tl week dedicated to preparation for_ iiicreastid pro- duction. During that week the people of the l'ro\'iiice will lit- asked to consider arid again consider how each one can help. 'lille farmers will be requested to reconsider the areas for crops in l<;i8_ in order that :is nnuiy additional acres as possible may be sown- or planted. Seeds will be got ready. i\lachiner_v, tools and liarness will be put in order. Spare parts will be providi~d to avoid delays in the busy season. A lost half day may affect the liarvcst.

In tliis't"onnet‘tioii because of the uzispealtablc gravity of llie si- tuation and iiiy t'oi'tl`ideiice in the invtihiiilile services which llie iiieiii- bers of the Legislatiire could reiiiler in their several eonstitiiences in this time of crisis I venture to suggest that the Legislitiire should ad- journ during at least the week dedicated to preparatioii. The mein- bers would then be free to devote their time and their ability to this most pressing and necessary of all patriotic work on the Island at the present time. 'l`l1ey are the recognized l<~i.it1'.`. and directors of public opinion and effort in their coniniuiiiiies. I believe they could mightily support and strengthen the inovenient for the constitution of the 'Greater l‘roductioii Coniiiiittcws and advance. the work which these eotiiniittees will be able to do. I do not know of any other form of disinterested public service., at the present liine, wliich would he so helpful to our united efforts to keep the sitiintioii safe on llie .side of 'the Allies and thereby to help to iviii the war.
