When M-r. Churchill came to reply, ho laid: "l must thank the tnr-mbcr, for making We acquainted with the word “nutwith." with which l had not prt-viuttsly had the pleasure of making acquaintance.

To» day, it is simply the battle of the Ardenncs, which is not going very well for the Wehr- mccht. , As for the future, there are three -jossi- bdities, according to London military author- itics: (I) That Rundstedt may make a last effort to regain the initiative and break out of the iron ring which the Allies have thrown aronrd the bulge. (2) That he may be able to pull out his re- ntaining armour to fight another day. (o) That he may be forced to fight where he stands now, in the words of Field Marshal Montgomery be “written off.” Recent despatchcs itidicatc that it is the second course which the German com- z under is seeking to follow. The issue is still in doubt. Lack of air recon- naissance in this weather makes it impossible to get a cl:nr picture of German movcmcttts. The only certainty is that, in the words of Field Lftrshal Montgomery “it would be a very great mistake to think that the battle is over. There is a great deal yet to be done."

At the request of (l1: Council, the director of education in Fife tried out certain achievement tests in writing, mech- zriicztl arithmetic, problem arithmetic, spelling and latiguage usage which had been produced m America, where in W'est States the compuls- ory school starting age is six.

They sur- prise me. Will you else explain why we farmers in rfnce Edward Island cannot. grow grain just: as well u the Prairie farmers. I have always been told that. our soil is better than theirs, also our climate." ply to the nova I may say that. the soifbotr here and in the west varies greatly, and so far es zhe cllnmte concerned the Prairie atmosphere is much drier than ours and their grain is hard- er. The average precipitation dur- ing August on the Island over a. period of thirt years is more than double w ft is on the Prairies. I am told by persons here who are grinding grain for tmt- mal feeds that the western grain is from i5 per cent to 25 per can‘. drier and harder than ours. When animals need moisture lve them water; for nutriment gve them solid gnin. The above, however. are not. why ft costs so much fess to grow grain on the Prairies than ,on the Isl- and. To use s. short term I would say that; mam production explains the riddle. Individual farms on the Prairies run from 360 up to them are devoted entirely to grain growing. In Prince Edward Isl- and on the other hand we grow only a few acres on each farm.

Mass reduction, not only f farming but in all industrial lines, has been Increasing very greatly during the put. century, ever since o steam engine was invented by henson. Practically everything that we buy today is manufactur- ed In large quantities, our cloth- ing, shoes, furniture, motor cars. all kinds of house uppllances. food. etc. Not only are these different articles cheaper fn price than they were fifty years ego but: they are of a far better quality. The same has been going on 1n aeri- . There are men living to- day who used to cut their grain with a scythe and ttzresh ft with a flail. Today fn the west the com- bine does both of these opera- tions at an enormous speed. At. no time in history hes mass 01'0- ductfon progressed so rapidly as during the last. five years of the resent war, and ft is generally considered that when peace re- turns we shall experience a prac- tical revolution in this respect in all lines. 1 that I em quite eefe 1n saying that ff our Island rmers persist in clinging to the old-fashioned practice of devotlni alsrge portion of their cleared land to grain growing, at a seri- ous loss. they will not only land themselves 1n bankruptcy out thev will do a. great Injustice to their fellow citizens in Prince Edward island, who are mainly dependent for their progress in business and the professions upon the dol- lars and cents valitr. of farm DIO- duction. I realize that until we are able in four our harbours to accommodate large grain cart-vim; vessels it will not be possible fot us to import westem grain at. the lowest fig- ures Furthermore, when the ves- sels do arrive we must have mech- expedltfouslv and an elevator to store the grain for distributing purposes throughout. the Island. Tn the meantime we shall have to be satisfied to import by railway. even though it may cost. from i2 to 20 cents per bushel more thnr.
