The Farm Survey was conducted
by the Hay Township Federation
of Agriculture, Each school
tion director was responsible
canvassing the farmers of his
tion. The completed lists were
to the office of the Ontario
partment of Agriculture, Clinton, for
tabulation.
The objective of the Survey was to
find out the actual farm conditions
relating to labor, machinery, and
equipment, livestock, field crops
and other important farm phases,
so that assistance could be given
for the production of foodstuffs so
necessary for the Canadian wai’ ef

“We regret that we are unable to
purchase any more flannelette suit
able for quilt linings. In view of
the shortage of materials it is most
important that we should have
enough material for our hospital
supplies. These take a vast quantity
of flannelette and we must con
serve an adequate supply for this
purpose. The quilts are tremen
dously appreciated overseas, and
we have been able to ship a large
quantity of them up to date and we
would suggest that the Branches
make their quilts from two pieced
tops, tying the heavy ones instead
of quilting them.”
Your Branch is trying to purchase
linings from other sources and if
successful will let the Units know.
The Exeter Branch is making
plans to organize a course in Home
Nursing. • This should appeal to
many of our women, and we hope
they will enroll, when plans are
completed.

five young girls got into communicationThis incident in which
with German prisoners interned in a Canadian camp has a nasty
smell about it. Where were the guards when these lassies were ex
changing love letters with the German enemies, dangerous enemies
of Canada and of the Empire? How came those guards to allow
these lassies within communicating distance of the men whose one
object twenty-four hours in the day is the slaughter of Canadians?
If five girls can outwit those guards, what may not dangerous spies,
trained in that sort of work, accomplish with such guards? Then
we’l like, to know what is to be done with those guards? What pen
alty is laid on them? These are not the times for easy good nature.
Then what is being done with those girls? Heaven only knows what
dangerous secrets they possess? What is being done to make them

thought he’d get the start of his competitor by delivering goods.
Bye and bye we found ourselves buying not only tea and sugar, but
service. We had grown soft in one way and another. Perhaps we’ll
take a quiet ten minutes some day to think this thing through. The
pity of it has been that .the fellow who was willing to cash and carry
■ paid the same at the counter as the “Please deliver it’’ chap. When
we get down, or up, to the good old “pay as you go”, “carry what
you buy” and “do without till you have the wherewithal”, we’ll get
something on the way to the good land of “prosper well”. But we’ll
all have to jump together or someone will be paying for the other

THAT “OLD SPIRIT”
Lord Bennett has been saying some plain things to the people
of England. For instance, last Monday, at a function at Sheffield,
he told his hearers that he missed something from the people of
England. For want of a better terin he described what he missed as
“the old spirit”. Did his lordship refer to the spirit of Bbadicea, the
warrior queen of England? Did he refer to the spunk that brought
about the boxing of King Alfred’s ears by the good lady whose cakes
were burned through his carelessness? Or was his reference to
Alfred’s founding of the British navy and its successes against his
country’s enemies? Was his reference to the stout barons who
wrested Magna Carta from the tyrant King John? Or did he refer
to the words of Cromwell when he ordered the symbol of British
government to be removed when that symbol no longer stood for freedom and justice. Did he refer to the work of Blake and kelson
and Wellington and Kitchener and Roberts? Did he-refer to the
days of Horace Walpole who laughed as he came down the streets
of London, "We have to ask every morning, ’What new victory has
England just gained?’ ” Or did the Viscount miss the stern living
that characterized Scotland when John Kiiox was doing the preach
ing in her churches, or when1 England echoed to the cry of John
Wesley as he "came galloping” to his churches to deliver the mes
sage that made England new and respected where she was not Rear
ed. Did he miss the family altar, the power that made Britain "be
loved at home and revered abroad?” Yes, there-is something miss
ing and England and the Empire had better find it or be pi’hparod
to become "one with Nineveh and Tyre.”

THAT MIDFORENOON LUNCH
,We had a severe turn on the farm one summer in our early
youth. We had breakfast about six a.m. and were in the field by
seven. The air was good. The work was brisk and about ten we
found a sense of emptiness about the middle and we wondered how
we were going to keep up till the dinner bell rang. Just as the
problem seemed insoluble, we saw the lady of the kitchen march-'
ing across the field with a market basket on one arm and a big
jug of milk Hinder the other arin. “Lunch time, boys,” sang out the
farmer, and we fell to with an enthusiasm that wrought desolation
with the bread and butter and the tea cakes, yes, and in a fat, juicy
apple pie. It was all over in ten minutes and the worries of the
morning hour vanished. Did the farmer lose anything? We think
not. Our farm work Was done a little sooner and a little bit better
than any other work done on that concession. Neither a boy nor a
horse does his bset with hunger gnawing at his vitals. .The right sort/
of boy and the right sort of farmer make an unbeatable combination/.

Well, we have been barking up a number of wrong trees in
this war. We thought we could appease our enemies, They handed
us shells for fine phrases. We thought that all we had to do was
send out our navy and the enemy would fall meekly into our generous
hands. The story of the Prince of Wales and the Repulse and the
battle of Java was all we got. We said that we must keep up the
