CENTRAL SEED FAIR To-day the Central Seed Fair will be in full swing and. judging by the exhibits and attendance yesterday, there is going to be u large attendance and thc whole province will be well represented. To the general public. doubtless. there will be less interest in an exhibition of seeds than in that of living animals and the matured products of the farm. neverthe- less. to the thoughtful, the breeding of seeds. their develop- ment by selection and favourable conditions should be #intensely interesting and educative. 'I`he various seeds now on exhibition are, generally speakling. 'the result of years of selection and care, and, for the most part, they show their lineage. 'l`hc selected seeds, the prize winners, those which, when sown, produce slxtyfold, as compared with the iivo and tenfold produced before seed breeding was thought of. are real marvels and are well worth examining carefully. The poultry show also is interesting and. when it is remembered that the humble hen adds yearly to the revenue of our farms upwards of a million dollars. she in her many varieties of shape, colour and make up will be regarded with a good deal of genuine respect. in point of actual practical usefulness she comes next to the cow, which is the most valuable animal on the farm. The Household Science programme. which begins at 10 o'clock and continues during the day. will. perhaps, be the most interesting feature in connection with the fair, The meetings which \\'lll be held in Prince of \\’:-iles College will be addressed on important subjects by seine of thc best informed hoxnemakcrs in thc province and doubtless will be attended by large numbers of citizens. The tllfmtixitz to-night will be cducative and iiiforltizttive, Some of fbi: bent speakers in the province will speak on questions ol vital interest to citizens as well as to farmers and we have no doubt the large Prince of Wales Hall will be full to thc doors. lt is up to our citizens to lcnd their aid by their presence and by their hclp in evclyv possible way to make the Central Seed Fair of 1915 the biggest and most successful fair yet hcld in the province. _ ~-----o CEREAL CROPS A bulletin just issued by the Department of Agricul- turc, Ottawa, gives n stnnmnry of results in the growing of cereals in thc c-xpcritneninl farms of the Dominion.

Six \'ariciii_>s of barley were grown yielding an aver- ngc of 75 bushels and 29*/J pounds per acre. Pt-as gave an average yield oi' 25 bushels and 1:7‘,-_’- pounds per at-rc for three varieties sowcd. In the co-operative test of oatspbegun in duplicate in i912. with llanncr. Old lslnnd.

At the Nappan Station, N. the average yield from all the wilt-at plots was 36 buslltls 5 pounds pcr acre; tho lilglit-sl yield in barh-_v was 56 liuuhcls.

Victory 99 bushels 24 pounds and the average yield of all the varieti- es was SS bushels 15 pounds. in oats Banner gave thc highest yield, 71 l»u..l\cls per acrc. Looking over the whole list of experimental stations throughout (Yamada. we find that the yield secured in Prince Edward l.-ilnnd is for and away ahead of the great majority, and well ahead of the best oi' thcm. What has bccu done on thc Experl-mental Farm can be done on any other farm in the province. That is the lesson of the report. \\'e leavc it to our farmers to figure out what it would moan to the province, 'what it would mean to thcm individually if they increased their production to. even approximately. what is produced on the Experimental Farm. - » AFTER THE WAR An interesting circular has been issued by Mr. Il. E. Kenterer of the ’l`oronto Stock Exchange on the financial situation both ns it is no\v and as the writer expects it to he after the wur. He holds that the complications which have arisen ln American foreign affairs. though extremely unlikely to have any serious outcome as far as the United States is con- cened, seem to have elicited discussions as to the monet- ary conditions and the position of the securities market upon the termination ' of hostilities. Mr. Kemerer holds that there is no ground for the view that high interest- ratel will obtain after the war. In the light of recorded hletory, he says. low rates can be confidently expected and I. eorreepondlng advance of security prices will follow. Mr. Kemerer instances the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars. the United States Civil War. and the Franco-Prussian war. -In the else of the llret two wars recorded statistics show that representative securities advanced and discount rates Meltnell.

That meat such as thatl examined by the City Councillors should be exposed for sale and should be bought by unsuspecting citizens gmnnot in any species of fairness be called anything but o crime and we have it on good authority that as a result, there has been an appreciable drop in the sal e of pork as a result of thc exhibition. The meat merchants. in self defence, all meats offered for salo in the city. The milkmen should take similar action. Inspection, thorough. oiilcial and re- liable is the only way in which public confidence can be restored and the sooner this is effected the better for all concerned. O___.i___ THE FINAL SETTLEMENT A despatch purporting to have originated in Amster- dam. and published in the Daily Express, London, presum~ ably reporting opinions expressed at a naval council in Berlin. has gone the rounds of the pressl Among other things the despatch says: “Admiral Von Inginobi‘s policy of seeking battle was reported as strongly condemned. It may he taken for granted, that the ..Gcrman fleet will never again attach Englaud’s ships in anything like equal iight but will rt-main hidden till peace is declared and be made thc nucleus of the largest fleet that over existed. then to challenge England's fleet within 15 or 20 years." That such sentiments, if expressed at all. were intentl- cd to reach the open, is not probable. That, whether the despatch be a correct report or the product of a reportcr's fertile imagination, it correctly represents ofllclal German opinion, will not be doubted for a moment by any one who has followed the history of the \var and the sayings and writings of German professors and diplomats. In n recent- issue we published in The Guardian s_ clipping from an article by Professor Von Leyden in one of the leading Berlin journals, in which he expressed thc most insane hatred of England and Englishmen, declar- ing that "no self-respecting German will ever consent to remain in any room oi' which an Englishman in thc oc- cupant." that “wc cannot be cxpcctcd to brcathc thc same polluted nil' no our deadliest foes," and "that wo swear nevcr to rt-si, ncvcr toccaee our preparations for another war. never to sparc an effort until th 2 last sctnblan/:c ot’ English power is destroyed for all time." ln dealing with a nation whose leading men-not thc rabble or thc toughs, as thc language might imply, but the cultured professors at whose fcct the world sat less than a. year ago-express tlletnsclves in such terms as these, and similar terms variously expressed., there is only one method to adopt, the method adopted when dealing with the tigcr or the cobra. Any other settlement would hu a crime against civilization. We do not mean the extermina- tion of the German people; we mean merely that thc power of carrying out their instinctive purposes must be taken from them, and the implements by which they could do mischief must he put beyond their reach. 'l`o treat Germany at the close of the war as n. nation with n. possible' future, to leave her to carry out the fiend- lsh threats of her leaders and educators would mean that the war had been fought in vain and that the blood and the treasure poured out had been wasted. The settlement will no doubt be effected to prevent this. All the declarations made in the British Parliament with reference to the con- tinuance oi' the war to a legitimate conclusion, point to a settlement that will avert nuclt a catastrophe in future. That can mean only that Gcrmnn nxilltarlfsm must be beat- en down to tho earth. hor teeth pulled, her talons sawed off and their wings clipped. That her own sane people, when they shall have learned the truth as to the way in which they have been duped into this, will assist the conquering nations to place her mllitarlsm and her “counterfeit Moses" where they belong and where they can do no more mischief, is oultc probable for all are not “(lcrn1ane"‘ who are of Germany. NOTES Tho truth sometimes hurts, but one hears so little of it that an anaeathetlc seldom is needed. Next to adopting a set of resolutions, a mass meeting appears to be the most futile thing. _._____.i.._0i..__...____.... An optimist is st man on his way to enter his oxblhit at o show.
