made by the teachers and these are
forwarded to the Horticultural De

exact planting arrangement for trees,

trees are ordered from the Forestry

Grow More Barley
A partial solution of the problem I
of marketing Canada’s wheat crop
wjil prpbably be found in the grow
ing of less wheat and more barley
this year anyway. Barley is the
great staple, grain of the feeder of
live stock, yielding the greatest re
turns expressed in terms of animal
nutriment per, acre. In ‘Other words
more actual food is produced in a
normal year from one acre of bar
ley than from any- other grain. There,
is in Ontario, too, a* steady market
at better than world prices for a
large volume of good bhrley for in
dustrial purposes, and when it comes
to the building up of poor soil, or
the ■ reclaiming of weed-infested ar
eas, there is no other .grain. crop
that can be utilized to .such advan
tage. ■ The present barley acreage in
Ontarfo is only about one-half of the
combined acreage in fall and spring
wheat, but present prices point to
this situation being reversed with
profits to the producer and
vines as a whole.

have been forthcoming from agricul

A general survey of the fruit
dustry of Canada is to be commenc

Booth as commissioner, and “Joe”’
Coke from the economics department
of the O. A. C„ as his assistant. Dr.
Booth is asking the co-operation of

regarding the fruit industry. Both

Her simplicity in telling that
little story to the little children big
as well as little, would and did make
a lasting impression—not forgetting
.the white visitors.
The secretary read the minutes and
announced the amounts that each,
class gave but other than -making
«ut by guess work it might have
-;been in Greek. Think he must have
been nervous as he read so fast.
They usually had a short sermon,
for the children but as this was a
special Rally Day there wasn't time
for that,, so the minister, a mulatto,
took charge of the morning service.
Being a special day the choir was
made up of young girls from about
ten to fourteen years. They were
all dressed in white and had a pro
cessional hymn. Oh yes, they had
also one bass and one tenor, both
men, which quite balanced the ether
singers, and oh, how they could sing.
We have listened t-o singers of all
nationalities'but is there‘any that
put their heart and soul into their
.singing as the negro? The hymn
that followed was responsive and
sung very slowly, responsive reading,
and next the missionary ‘colectshun.’
Perliminaries through and the ser-t
man began, text taken Irom Gala
tians six, particularly the second and
fifth verses, pointing out the neces
sity of the first injunction and
fully more the second. White it is
quite possible for us to help and
sympathize with our friends in
trouble yet there is the part that no
one can share. He applied it to
their own church necessitates and
obligations saying that it was neces
sary to have outsid^ help but that
they had to bear the burden of
church debt, etc.; that it would take
a very strong man colored or white,
to resist the temptations of slinking
along and shifting the burden to the
other “fellah” if he Were being con
tinually helped. For so many years
the negroes have been kept -down
and their opinion was of no account;
in fact they were not even allowed
ail opinion, and it has had the ten
dency to make them depend on;
others, but people are realizing that
the colored people have the right to
their opinions and now they must
learn to use them and use then*
rightly. They make mistakes of
course and do things that they ought
not to do, at least some of them do,
but are there not white folks who
make mistakes.
■ The negro has had approximately
only G<5 years practise of thinking
for himself and Whet’# the conditions
turned .vice versa would the white
folk be as good as the negro race is
to-day7 They ask not alms but sym
pathy and encouragement and a
chance to earn a decent living for
themselves and familites.
The serftioh ended. The fourth
and last “colectshun” was taken and
three captains previously appointed,
went to the front each at a table the
first to take the ten dollar bills, the
second the five deilar bills: and the
third to take .the hvo fifty bits and I
