PATRIOTISM AND PRUDUCTION
We have been talking, lecturing. writing about the
need of greater production on the form and we are maltlng
it a patriotic as well as a commercial consideration, There
is one thing that this province _needs more even tllan
greater production, that ls, to keep our young people on
the farm and to bring back to the farm those who are
wasting their lives in city employment at home or s-
broad.
We say “wasting their llves" advisedly. We have no
desire to call back those who are making good elsewhere;
many of the young people are doing credit to themselves
and their native province in other cities and in other
lands. But there are many who are not making good and
who would willingly come back if conditions at home were
such as lnight reasonably be expected to induce them to
come. This is a practical age, an age in which dollars
count and every young mall, who is not an absolute fall-
ure, naturally wants to receive some financial return for
his work. The fact has been repeated over and over a-
gain that many young men left their homes because they
saw no prospect of an independent living or an opportunity
to settle down on their home farm until they fell heir to
their fnthcr's shoes, ll prospect that very often is sufll
cliently remote to make it uncertain. The suggestion has
been repeated over and over again, too, that a good remedy _
in such cases would be to offer the son or sons either
a partnership in the farm or divide the holding into two
or more farms. Many of our farms would be very much
the better for such division, for not onc farm in tl hundred
is now worked to .its capacity.
Many of our young men have left comfortable homes
and farms in which they could have made an easy, ind(-
pendent and comfortable living-when they became heirs
to' the farm, as eventually most of' them would--but they
had their ambitions, their natural dreams of homes of
their own, their natural desire to have their own money
to spend, and, to realize these dreams, they drifted into
the cities to work under others, often to slave for ft small
wage, and to waste their lives without any prospects of
ever having more than their daily wages. Many of these
sons would gladly return to their homes it there were ally
prospects of sharing in thc profits of’ the farm or of mak-
ing independent homes for themselves.
The Patriotism and Production movement will have
failed in its highest ainl if it does not result in repatriat-
ing some of these exiled ones. And probably no more op-
portune time than the present could cvcr offer as the West,
where many ot' the young people are,has fewer attractions
to offer today than ln many years. Every city in the West
numbers its unemployed by hundreds, some by thousands
and welcoming hands held out now would undoubtedly
bring hack many who are struggling against heavier odds
than they ever knew of at home.
lstlssrln ‘fc@llANcE _
We have before us the report of-the laboratory of tile
inland Revenue Departnlcnt, llulletln 298, giving the re-
sult of the official inspection of “milk froln towns and
cities.” Fortunately or unfortunately the towns and cities
of Prince Edward island are not included which may or
may not suggest thc old adage "where ignorance is bliss"
&c. But the rt-port given of the milk supplied to the towns
and villages which come under the inspection of the Dc-
partment arouses ll natural curiosity as to how such an
inspection would find us. Looking over the list, under the
heading, "remarks and opinion ot' the Chief Analyst," we
find such remarks and opinions as these: "Genuine," “Be-
low standard in solids." “Below standard in solids and
dirty," “genuine but not clean," &c., &c., and the “not
clean," recurs with disgusting freglte ncy.
In a foreward addressed to the Deputy Mll1IS!9l` U10
following explanation is mudez.
“Complaints have been received from time to tlmc, to
the effect that the smaller towns and villages of Canada, in
which no local inspection, is provided, are supplied with
milk of inferior quality. and this department has been ask-
ed to look into the matter. Hence thc present report. .
The result of this lllspectlon appears to justify com-
plaints and may lead to further inspection in the future.
It is, however, greatly to be desired, that towns and
villages of any considerable size should undertake for them-
selves the inspection of their milk supplies. So nlucll
of the value of milk ns a food depends upon the conditions
of its production, the healthy character of the cows, the
cleanliness of stables, utensils, etc., and thc care taken in
its delivery, that occasional inspection. such as cll‘l he l.;iv-
en from Ottawa, can never compete in satlsfllctoriness or
efficiency with thc continuous anti 1-lysllclllatlt; inspection
ll‘at is possible under local tluthorl‘;.'."
Of 59 samples l-luhntlttcd, 22 are reported “up to gov-
ernment standard"; 3 as "genuine milk but dlrly"; is as
“nearly meet the standard." and 26 “below standard." Of
the whole 59 samples 22 are classed as either "dlrty" or
“not clean." The inspection covered the districts of Otta-
wa, Valleyfield, Three Rivers, West Qllebec and East
Quebec, and we presume we should be devoutly thankful
tb Providence that our Garden of the Gulf is not included.

HIGH COST 0F KILLING
A statlstlclan has figured out the cost of killing
a man ln war, basing his calculations on the number of
men killed and the total cost of the \var.
In the French and English war in 1793 there were 1,-
900,000 men killed and the total cost of the war was $6.-
250,000, making the cost of killing each man $3.290. In
the Crimean War the cost, on the same basis, was $2,786
per mall; ln the United States Civil \Var, $10,100; in the
Boer-British War $12,089.. The most costly war in tile
table given is that between the United States and Spain
ln 1808 when the deaths totalled 20.000 and the cost, per
man 858,250. The most economical killing was that dur-
ing the Balkan War when 145.000 were killed at the com-
paratively low rate of $1,374 per man. 'The value of nzod-
ern machinery as an economic factor \vlll he shown when
the results of the present' war are made known.

TIIE FOX ll|DlIS'IRY
Sir,-Consul Mays has chosen to
present`to llls Government and i.o the
investing American public hostile and
lanlaging reports ln regard to both
oilr Lobster and Fox Industries. His
reports, as we all know, are made up
of half-truths and misrepresentations
ot' fact. Let that go. “To ills own
master Ile standetll or falleth." Let
us treat him with such courtesy as we
can, repaylllg good for evil.
He contends that the Island silver
fox is no better and the pelt no more
valuable than the average silver fox
or pelt taken from tho wllds. The
answer is kllown and read of all men
both as "to foxes alld pelts. Our
‘axes have sold for years past at three
times the price of -sliver foxes from
Jr in any ‘other country. Of pelts we
have sold only our culls since 1910.
The proof of this is found lu tile tact
-‘hat with living foxes commanding
from $4.000 to $20,000 per pair any
'msn would be a fool to kill sound,
healthy young foxes for their pelts.
.'l‘hen we have the further proof.
ltl sales made last year. that our
culls sold, in' one instance at least,
for about five times the average price
ot"slI\'er fox pelts taken from other
parts of the world. That ls, three
pelts brought _ £600, or say. $1,000
eacll. Ally man _who says tilat these
were “selected” pelts does not know
_wllat he is talking about.
'The fox industry is all right. Prices
for living foxes have declined, pre-
:lsely as everybody expected they
.vould as we approach the pelt basis.
nur ranchers are pursuing ll sound
-»pfollcy in adding new lllghclass breed-
ers to their ranches. thus reducing

_I am very anxious to have all potato
shippers apply for registration forms
to me, in order that from their regis-
tration I shall be able to arrange in-
spection centres, so that when the
time of shipping commences the whole
matter will have been satisfactorily ar-
anged. I may say that inspection is
Iaklng place now ln New Brunswick,
and is working extremely well. We
_have not yet had one- single complaint
from any of the shippers or their cus-
"olners. Upto the present l think
some 111.500- bushels have already
-een certified. We 0nd that the regu-I .___,__.____._..
lations are working very satisfactor-
lly. which it is hoped will also be the
case in P. E. I.
May I trouble you to kindly furnish
me with ll. list of the potato shippers
of P. E. I., and would you undertake
to advise them in time that they
should register as soon as possible, so
that there may be no delay and dlsap- -
pointnlont when theshlpplng season
conlmellccs. _
