EDITORIAL NOTES.
As The Farmer's Advocate says,
"this season is to witness the greatest
campaign ever conducted upon the
soil of Canada."
Why should not. Canada allow the
free impor:ntion of goods produced
in Great Brit sin a There are no me-
tiers duties on Canadian goods enter-
ing Britain.
Sir Hedworth succeeds Sir
John Jellicoe as Admiral of the Brit-
ish fleet. Wonder whether you pro-
nounce that name "Stew," 8a in cat,
or "moo," as in row ?
Late despatches from Europe are
to the effect that Germany is. pre-
pared to talk about peace terms.
There is nothing to indickte, however,
that the Allies are inclined to listen.

According to figures ojjust received
from the Department of Agriculture
at Ottawa, the averege profit per
acre of fall wheat in Ontario in 1013
was 1117.71 ; of spring wheat, $5.75.

proof of the contention that farming
is a better proposition it' Ontario than
is the West. .
From different quartets come star,ee
of political favoritism in the selection
of oMcets for the Canadian forces now
in training. We should dislike very
much to believe that any Canadian is
debarred on account of his politics
from serving his country in a capacity

could be further from the spirit. which
