Meanwhile Prof. H. Van Vliet oi the farm management branch oi the University of Saskatchewan has come forward by way oi criticism of the project for the Western Prov- inces. He contends that this expenditure of $100,000,000 mi irrigation could not be iusti- He argues that a similar sum spent on iorestation, or in the improvement oi dry icirming methods, would produce a greater return, and that by double cropping and the sowing oi nurse crops, it might be possible to tron. Other arguments against the scheme, sug- gested by a Winnipeg correspondent are: A terrific job oi work has to be done by individual farmers to prepare their land ior irrigation. Ditches have to be dug and the land leveled. When the water is ilowed onto the land the former has to be on hand with a shovel to make it ilow where it is needed and to prevent block- ages and washouts. In a drought cycle, ii droug-ht is coupled with law prices as it has been so aiten in the West, the irrigation charges on the land may prove a millstone to the farmers. An irrigation charge ct Si a year per acre may seem modest enough. But on 640 acres it is $640 a year, and if the iarmer falls behind he may n-ever catch up. During the depression the Alberta irrigation districts had to wipe oii more than $30,000,000 in iarm debts. So irrigation alone, without stab-le iarm prices, is no panacea. Already there is diiiiculty in getting iarm- crs to use water where water is available. ln Southwestern Saskatchewan a lake l8 miles long and 30 ieet deep" has been constructed south oi Swift Cuirent at Duncairn. The water is there, but the iarmers themselves are not showing much interest in it. They preier to take their chances on rain rather‘ than go to the trou- ble and expense oi organizing irrigation d-isitricts. The trouble seems to be that between the blue print stage oi irrigation and the ultimate achievement oi a good liie lies an immense gap. Dry land farmcrs will h-ave to learn to handle water, to be sold on the merits oi using water from irrigation ditches, to make peace with con- ditions oi irrigation farming. It is much harder work operating an irrigated iarm than a dry farm. In good years, such as we have been hav- ing, the returns are ever so much greater. Ultimately, irrigation will make it possible ior the West to hold more people. in the dry areas, a iarmer may require 600 to l,000 acres to survive and prosper. But when irrigation is used, land requirements per family drop. ln the older irrigation districts in Alberta the size oi farms has dijc-pped steadily until the average in some places today is around 100 acres. Prayer From Washington Unlike our own House oii Commons whose sessions are begun each day with set prayers, the U. S. House ni Representatives employs varying prayers, according to the spirit oi the chaplain each day and the state oi the nation or the world. From the Congressional Record the Ottawa Journal reprints the following prayer given by the Congressional Chaplain on January l6, a pray- er which is said to have delighted its listeners and is iinding its way in printed iorm on to the walls oi many a Washington oiiice. "Our Father, we turn to Thee because we are sore vexed with our own thoughts. Our minds plague us with questioning: we cannot answer, and history confronts us with responsi- bilities we cannot evade. Who among us is suf- ficient for these things? ' "We are~ humbled by our experience oi fail- ure and driven by pressure to act before we are aura what -Thou woulrlst have us do. flou lrnowest our deadlines as Thou knowesf our need.

And many of our lard’; sayims seem unequivocally to anflrrn that virtue bring with 1t. an op- propriaoo reward. Christian apolo- gists have sometimes argued that, in ouch sayings he la using mere- IY the lanai-nae of metaphor. But this is surely to miss the point, of f-Iis ‘teaching. vii-toe roi- ‘its own sake is no doubt I noble ideal, but it was not, precisely this which Jesus tnculeaoed. Emerson's dictum “the "reward °l l l-hln! Well clone is to have done 1t," has truth in it. but it is not the whole truth. Jesus goes beyond this - something is edid- ed to the thing done; something rixelved by the doer as the direct outcome of his deed. "Great: is Your reward in heaven"; “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you." 5o, the reward of true prayer, even though infinite love may not see fit to answer it. in the exact form in which it; is offered, is the grant. ing of the petition. “Ask, and ye shall receive." Goodness. according to our lmriYs teaching. is the source and even the condition of receivina the divine blowing. It does not "Yd in itself: It produces its own characteristic fruit: it is this which ls its reward.

The praygr is also a recognition of the truth that even man's capacity for love to God is God's own gift. The Christian believes that the good life is the one kind of life which brings personal satisfaction and the peace of mind which ls the basis of true happiness. But as he strives to understand and to fulfil God's purposes he will not. be thinking of the reward of his good actions; such a motive, in- deed. would deprive them of their essential value. led 63$ PLOWS Lying in bed we heard true snow- ptowa surging Through the deep drifts that muted their low thunder ‘Do less than sclumd. to a dull rtiy- bhmld throbbing 111st, the white world felt, and caught, and trembled under.
