Judging by the crop of early lambs
the past winter has suited the flock.
In many flocks there is an average
of two lambs to a ewe, or 200 per
increase. The pleading fea

Weekly Crop Report
Seeding operations in Ontario are
in progress from as far west as
Rainy River to Glengarry County in
the east. Reports from the Agri
cultural Representatives would in
dicate that the land is working up
in n very friable condition. Fall
wheat is reported in excellent con
dition and the majority of counties
report Red Clover and Alfalfa hav
ing withstood the winter much bet
ter than was anticipated. Sweet
clover -seems to have fared the worst
and many cases of heaving are re
ported. Cheese factories are open
ing up and farmers are anxious to
get their cattle out on grass as feed
is getting scarce. Prices for hogs,
eggs, butter-fat and lambs are very
disappointing. Orchards are look
ing well with a goodly number of
fruit buds in those orchards where
fertilizing is an established practice,
Wellington County seems to be ty
pical of the general attitude in re
gard to alfalfa, as it looks as if
12,000 acres will be seeded to al
falfa in that county this spring.
Britain gives the prospect of working through the present fi
nancial predicament simply because some time ago she was brave
enough to face facts and to act accordingly.

Judging by the way some people talk, they are greatly 'disa

It rarely happens that everybody is “broke” at the same time.

Folk who complain of the times since November J929 should,
recall the years between 1914 and 1932. A great many who growl

.Every so often
scribe our present
way should read history and con the words of some great men of
other .days who knew 'their times. There are folk istill living who
can tell of the situation in this country in the late seventies and
the eighties-of last century. Folk who respect facts .should tell
a little of what went on in these loan years. /Merchants with a re
putation of veracity and who are fully aware of the facts of the
situation, tell us that when we consider the standard of excellence
of goods offered now and compare therewith the standard of goods
offered in earlier times that the comparison is in 'favor of the
present time. Good merchandise, they tell us, never was cheaper
than it is today. Goods offered this year are away ahead in excel
lence of the goods offered in the lean years of last century. The
goods sold in the former period of 'stress would be scorned by the
shoppers of the present day. This should be remembered as we
talk of the high prices of certain commodities now -on the market.
Further, there were merchants and manufacturers and (farm
ers who made a little money -.during the hard times of former
periods. There are merchant folks in 'these classes who are mak
ing a little money now. Both classes referred to were men who did
their .duty when it came to public spiritedness. Sickness and death
and misfortune always have taken toll of the race. Through these
men worth their salt have wrestled through and have known hap
piness as they endured till they conquered. Only tile- spineless
have laid down their tools.
The following words of Britain’s wise and -great of the' older
days are worth pondering now. Every man quoted is a man who
never will be forgotten:
William Pitt, Britain’s Prime Minister, said in the early days
of last century “There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and
despair. ’
Wilberforce, than whom the race never produced a braver man
in the early 1800’s said, “He dared not marry, the- future was so
dark and unsettled.”
Lord Grey, in 1819 “Believed everything was tending to a con
vulsion.”
The Duke of Wellington, the conqueror of Napoleon, the man
who won for his country a hundred fights and never lost an Eng
lish gun, a man whom no circumstances ever frightened, on the eve
of his death in 18'51 thanked God he would be spared from seeing
“The consummation of ruin that is gathering about us.”
Disraeli, England’s prime minister for many a day, the man
who made the Suez Canal a reality, who clipped the claws of the
Russian bear as he prepared to. scratch out the vitals of the British
• lion, said in 1849 “In industry, commerce and agriculture there
was no hope/’ ,
Lord -Shaftesbury, the friend of Britain’® down trodden and a
man of the amplest information said in 1868, “Nothing could save
the British Empire from shipwreck,”
A great Frenchman in those days cried out “Britain’s glory is
in tlie twilight.” There are others who are saying the same thing
/now. Yes, civilization may be in the twilight but it may be twi
light precedes the dawn if men will renew their faith in God, heed
the Ten Commandments, study self knowledge, self respect and self
control and go to work with a wilt It cannot be said too often or
too plainly that men who hear and do the sayings of Jesus Christ
are wise men who build on the solid rock, All others, in the end
are but fools and blind, no matter What their apparent, but short
