` Referring to the letter elsewhere in this issue’
from the Department. of Agriculture, perusual of
which we commend to our readers, we wish to state
emphatically, as our editorial on the subject clearly
stated, that we have .no disposition to in any way dis-
courage the proposed dairy competition. As stated
in our previous article the aim is a laudable one but
our C0m`eSl)0ndent’S admission that less than  f ty mipetlients, bitt at the same time,
pei' cent of all the herds in the province have so -far
only strciigthens the doubt \ve then expressed thatl
the undertaking would materially help the rank and
file of our fa ‘mers, who are most in need of assis-
tance. It is True, as our correspondent says, that
“this is the first dairy competition in which thc,
smaller patrons and farmers were permitted..io com-,
pete amongst themselves and where the “so-called,
professional prize-winners were barred.” When wc.
remember that less than 2l,f_» percent of all our farm-
ers, and they are most progressive ones, and _outside
this conipetiti_oii_ now practise iiidividu_al testing and
that practically all \vho take pai‘t in this competition
must 'take up what too many of the_m now regard as
a waste of time, the most optimistic among _us will
admit that the prospect of a general competition iS
not'particularly encouraging. '

method of meeting a situation that is admittedly
difficult. The New- York Sun-Herald, one of the best
informed newspapers in the United States unquali-
fiedly commends the system adopted in C_ana_da. The
following extracts from a recent editorial in, that
paper speak for themselves: 1
“The Canadian Government’s courageous and de-
termined mcasures to make the 1920-21 budget
balance merit coinmeiidation by all and emulation

for swollen expendiures which have to be met by

“The one object was to make the revenue equal the.
expenditure. The object_ has been _achicvcd. The
Government was faced with expenditures of $700,-
000,000, including $74,000,000 to reduce the floating
debt. Against this there were visible revenue and,
cash of onlv $071,000,000. Some means had to be
found to make up the deficit of $129,000,000. Appar-l
tly the budget framers were more engrossed in
lllieeir task of making the budget balance than they
were in winning the favor of the discontented voter.

the time he arrived at his own goto
he had also arrived at uno the con-
clusion, namely, 'that he was a fool.
Next dur he took measures to sell
his farm and all that it contained.
The plurrc is now available for
some immigrant.
The farmer has ti moral sense
that is extremely just and discern-
ing. lt is offended by persons who
will not do the work _they are en-
gaged to do. He may ln his own
experience have known a man who
promised to work and failed at the
lust moment. lt is not probable
,that that he ever su\v ii man lay
dnwn his tools in the midst of his
job to the less of his employer.
S-iich an act would be too infamous.
.-\nd yet he reads in his newspaper
that the custom of the city is for
men to slilrk their toil, to sleze a`
critical nicment for making fresh
di-ni:in.f“. '_o contrlve against those
who a:~. i:ilthl`ul, and lnliiniilatc

'piact~. llo- suspects that the
trouble lies much deeper. Ile bo-
liovos that labor unions break
their contracts with the design of
breaking down society and govern-
ment, tlint, ln short, labor is an
enemy to state; its poiicy_ delibe-
rate and political, controlled
through ine United States as part
of :i Eiirapcan conspiracy against
civilization. Labour is feared and
paiupfreii by the government. Ac-
cording to its' own confession
labzrir exists in virtue of a tariff
\vlii.:li the country imposes upon
itself. The farmer has his cold
cye upon. tnis tariff and upon its
resultant, labour. llc never did
pamper il: lie does not now fear il..
lie has the old weapon in his\liand
»~-starvation. If a man will not
work neither shall he eat.
Tho farmer is himself caught in
the web of circumstance. He does
not strive against his fate. He
_-it-iff-pi.~ ii. iie win not employ
!:ibour after he finds it troublesome
or uncertain. He will restrict his
iipwatlons wltliln the compass of
his own hands. He will deliver
liiiiiself over to no hired man. Let
the labourer seek the city if he
will. Let him have his dollar an
hour, sell his product to himself,-
anil starr: in the end. The situa-
tion new is precisely that which
i-xirryteil in the Middle Age. Ziicn

'i`lic_vf may now he as prodigal as
they like. They will come back
in the end, but thore will be no
fattcd calf for their reception. This
is now the actual situation ln Rus-
sia. The well-to~do peasant is
`clasi-ied _with the bourgeoisie, us the
oneniy of the proletariat. But
there is this important distinction;
the Canadian furuier is not a Rus-
siiin peasant. V `
The truth is the city luis always
been llic enemy of the country,
di'ainin`g away its life and destroy-
ing lt. in the time of Elizaihctli
an Or|ler~in-(Toiincil was passed
directing that no new houses
shoiild he erected within teii uiilo_;
of the inetropoliii, ami that all new
buildings lu the city should be
pulled down. in the next ri-ig.i
all p;~r.~:on:< having 'houses in thc
country were orilered to repair lo
their homes, and give to their
neigiibors un example of good
lioiisek-coping.
One d'iy in the spring of 1918-
the day the long gun was fircd ~
three French soldiers entered an
c itaminct in ii siuali town in north-
ern France. One picked up ii pup-
cr and began to read. “What is the
news," his comrades asked. "The
news is good,” he answered with
i-oinplael-ncy; "thc shells are fall-
ii gr in l‘arls." This soldiercxpress-
1-il the ancient and intimate hostili-
tv that has always existed between
the city and the land. It was not
for nothing that the prophets al-
ways pointed their prophecy
against the cities., A city justifies
itself as :i centre of intellectual and
moral stimulus; but whoever heard
of any intelligence proceeding l`ron\
Toronto or morality emanating
iroia Mciilreul?
i~`:iruilng is an art. .lt cannot bo
dis.~'oclateil from the suit. The soil
must be learned as an artist learns
his materials. It cannot. be learn-
ed in one generation. The know-
ledge must be inherited. An im-
migrant who is ii good fiiriucr in
one locality will full on an un-
known soll. Therefore tho niigrii~
tion from the city to the liiutl is not
so hopeful u remedy as it appeared
at ilrsl sight. Few remedies are.
The situation in c»is'f»rn ffanadn
now is ‘fmt ii farmer \\lli not. plant
more crop than he can harvest
with his nwn actual two hands. lic
can no longer depend upon hired
labour. His help mii'y leave him
nt n critical moment. Last sinu-
mer n farmer, returned froui the
war, had laid out an elaborate plan
for the cultivation of three hund-
