TIIE SIGNAL - GODERICII ONTARIO
Na TOOK THE CHALLENGE.
District Representative Made Good as •
Practscal Farmer.
Whioaao Drover's lout -nail
Not so long ago, • county agent heard
the remark that he could not take •
180 -acre farm, free, of debt, farm it. for
several years, and leave it free of debt
at the end of that period.
This wan resigned as • oounty agent
and became an ordinary farmer to die -
prove the theory that be couldn't
make farming pay.
That he is leaking a success of farm-
ing is evidenced in a shipment of bog'
at Chicago this week which netted
h im around $7,000, and a good share of
the corn fed to three hogs was pur-
chased from hie neighbour, some of it
coe4iigg up to $1.91 • bushel. Lrut fall
he made $:,,000 from shove cattle that
he fed scientifically.
Although the son of • farmer. be
wept away to school to become, a
lawyer. but the call of the tarry was
Lou great Inc him, and he took up the
the study of agricultural bulletins in
his idle bouts.
He has increased his personal hold
ings since he lett school until he can
boast of money in the five figurer.
What it mote, he intends to sty in
the farming huuiueo, and is proud of
his suece's. By usiug scieutife meth-
od* he bas disproved the theory that a
“book -wade termer" cannot tunas' a
sewer**.
Another thing he has proved is that
the Agricultural bulletins issued by
the State and bloverumentiare of great
benefit to the tarn who will apply
himself.
The old-time farmers who never
would.adwit that sciegtific 'Methods of
farming are more profitable than the
old-time was of tilling the soil should
be convinced that they are wrung.
None of w is too old to !emit some-
thing of advantage, and a study of
the agricultural bulletins and the ap-
plication of the new methods, eking
with your pi aetical knowledge, should
bring increased profits.

Food Controller's Advice.
Following are auggeitlons put forth
by Hon. W. J. Henna, Canadian Food
Controller :
1. Use perishable foods. Nave gar-
den truck that has been produced so
abundantly this summer. Preserve,
dry, can and store.
2. Rat more fish.
3. Substitute other cereals for wheat
products -cornmeal, buckwheat flour,
rice flour, and above all oatmeal,
4. Don't throw good fond into the
garbage can. $60.000,1100 is wasted
every year in this country by careless -
newt in the kitchens.
e. Preaeh once more the gond old-
fashioned gospel of the 'Man plate.
Do not let ehildrfan waste food at
their meals. flit rot waste it yotinslf.
i1. Organise. Various women's or-
gawieatione are alreadyactive. Their
leaders will tell you wat to do. Get
in touch with the workers in your
own district.

Women Are Eager to Serve.
Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, wife of
the president of the National City
Bank in New York, has been extreme-
ly active in war relief 'rut*, both iss
worker herself and as a director of the
thousand and one new occupations
that are open to women at this time.
Writing in the September issue of
1 arper's Bazar, now ready, Mrs. Van-
d4 elip makes this statement : "}Wo-
men are eager to serve. They have
already served at home. Now our
Government needs their workoutoi.le
their homes. They will be ready for
sarriflce. I believe that the idea of
democracy, with ire promise of oppor-
tunity for every child, is a clear and
definite belief in the -minds of women,
and that we are ready to Rive to our
utmost to help create • world demo-.
cracy." li
Among the great things done by
women thus far, Mrs. Vanderlip men-
tions the deveiopnient of the Red
Cross, the increase and conservietion
of the food supply, the taking of the
military census of resources, and help-
ing to raise the recent Liberty loan.
