, ORGANIZATION.
Canada is being organized to-day as never before.
In every province and in every municipality, under
one central head, namely the Department of Agricul-
ture at Ottawa, this organization process is being en-
gineered \\'itli a view to a greater measure of produc-
tion and a higher standard of quality. Until the for-
ward movement no\v in progress was inaugurated agri-
cultural developineiit in Canada was a sort of go-as-you
please individual effort, each farmer and each trader
doing his best to out-wit or out-do his neighbor or his
competitor. The result \vas a~ heterogeneous race
,in which only the few succeeded and by which the ge-
neral betterment of the people made little progress.
Ontario farmers led the way and other provinces fol-
lowed more or less successfully, in organization by va-
rious movements which resulted in farmers’ institutes,
\vomen’s agricultural clubs and co-operative societies,
of different kinds. _
It remained for Hon. Martin Burrell, the present
Minister of Agriculture, to plan the organization of
the whole Dominion and this organization is no\v iii
progress and is already making its influence felt. To
enable him to carry his plan to a successful issue the.
federal government made a generous appropriation to
be extended over a period of ten years, each province
to receive its proportionate _share, the grant increas-
ing year by year as the need and the opportunities for
expending it to the best advantage developed. As a re-
sult of this grant not only every province but every
farmer in every province is in direct touch with the.
Department of Agriculture, with the Agricultural Col-
leges and the experimental farms of the Dominion and
of the world. The best methods that science has dis-
covered, the best process of cultivation, the most proli-
tablc varieties of product and the most practicable
ways to the world’s best markets, are no\v within reach
of every farmer through the medium of the District
Representatives, the short courses in Agricultlire, and
the personal work of the different trained experts ein-
ployed by the Department. There is no longer any
excuse for slipshod methods of farming or of inarke-
ting, no longer any excuse for yearly losses on account
of inferior quality. The best is within reflch of every
one wlio'chooses to stretch out his hand to grasp it.
This orgpnization is inaking splendid progre<<. in
om sister provinces. Every farmer, apparently, is
alive to the opportunities within his reach and deter-
mined to make the best of them, and not only the fa-.'~
mers but the merchants, the manufacturers, the banks.,
and in fact practically all the interests of the country
that are to bebcnelited by the greater prosperity. \\"ei

don't keep up weiare down and out. The rest of the-
Dominion _is moving on and at a rparvelously rapid,
rate. _ -
Throughout our province at present a strong move
is being made to improve our dairy output, to raise the
standard of our dairy cattle, to increase production ge-
nerally on the farms, to increase the efficiency of our
schools and so give our children a living chance in the
race which they must so soon enter and which is yearly
accelerating its pace. In this move, if it is to be sno-
cessful, the hearty and willing co-operation of all is
imperative. Anything short of that means failure.-
Let us then examineour ways; seek out our faults, ac-'
knowledge them manfully`and, like the repentant sin-
ner resolvc to do better. Let us, instead of measur-
ing ourselves by ourselves, take lfs our standards 'those
\vho are doing better than we are. ' There are no great-'
er opportunities than ours provided \ve make the right
use of them. _ - 2 ‘ __- . _ `
THAT 20 PER  SHORTAGE.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish a letter from
Mil. C. H. S. Sterns, Presideittof Stems Brothers
Limited, Souris in direct contradiction of statements
made by .\lr. _]. J. Hughes in the Hpusc of Commons
and previously referred to in the Guardian. .\Ir.
Hughes made the direct charge that only conserva-
tives had been asked to tender for army suppliesand
that in the town of Souris supplies were being fiimish-
ed 20 per cent. short. Mr. Stems gives the lie direct
to these charges and those \vho know both men will
unhesitatingly believe .\lr. Steriis.
It is scarcely necessary to comment on the dastard-
ly conduct of a man who in the hope of some indefinite
political gain, will make chargeswhich he either knows
are untrue or does not know or care whether they are
true or not, who will vilify his neighbors and cast re-
flections upon the honesty and integrity of those whoni
lie is supposed to represent in parliament. But this
l12lS been from the beginning the Hughes method and as
it was in the beginning so, we fear, it shall be
to the end of the Hughes’ chapter, which the sooner
it closes, the better it will be for what is left of Mr.
Hughes’ reputation and for his constituency.
\Vill the Patriot, which published the foul charge
against the Messrs Sterns 'Brothers' of Souris and
against the military authorities now have the niaiili-
ness to tell thc truth and admit, as .\Ir. Steriis has
charged, that the statements made by Mr. Hughes “are
utterly false and unfounded”? Or will it treat this
as it did the list of contractors for army supplies which
it had asked for and which was published in the Guar-
dian, refuse to publish it because such publication
would falsify its own and Mr. Hughes statements.
If the Patriot has not reached the bottom in the fall
which it has recently been deploring and exemplify-
ing it will hasten to make the auieudc /ionoilrablr in
this case at least.

The Patriot, in its leading article on Tuesday, de-
precates the fall of journalism from the “decidedly
