The Kyte -Carvell charges against
Sir Sam Hughes have resulted in a
sad failure for those who made the
accusations. They have succeed-
ed in the holding back for several
weeks of one of the most important
public servants at this war time
and the expenditure of ooneidereble
money that was needed for other
more important purposes.
Damaging the Cause
The failure so. far to connect Sir
Sam Hughes with any of the ac-
cusati o ns laid by Mr. Kyte would
seem to lend emphasis to the be-
lief that the object of the Liberals'
attack upon the Minister was to
drive him out of office. If they
fail in their efforts to deprive Can-
ada of the services of Sir Sam it
won't be becanse-they didn't try to
bring about a result that would, no
doubt, give the enemy considerable
delight,for anything than will injure
those who are working against the
Huns may be expected to encour-
age' them. It will be a delight to
Canadians to see them disappoint-
ed.

Of the Change in Name of the 00.A. C.
No. 7g"" Variety of Oats.
At the Ontario Agricultural College
for each of nine yeare In succession
the 0. A, 0. No 72 variety of oats has
e.
acrei
surpassed the Banner t 'n yield d per
and in quality of grain. It has been
the most productive and the most
popular variety in the co-operative ex-
periments throughout Ontario In eaob
of the past five years, anct it was
awarded more first prizes than any
other variety in the Field Crop Com-
petitions with oats on 2,137 farms in
the Counties of Ontario in 1915, In
some of the Competition in both Bale
tern and Western Ontario it received
all of the prizes offered,
Thirteen years ago the O. A. 0. 72
variety of oats was originated at the
Ontario Agricultural College from a
eingle seed. It has made the hest re-
cord of over three htindred varieties
obtained from various parte of the
world, and which have been tested out
at Guelph for five years or more.
A member of the firm of L. P. (un -
eon & Oo., of New York State, visited
the College, saw the 0. A. C. No, 72
oats growing in the experimental plots
secured our reports, ascertained the
source of seed, and early in 1915 bought
six hundred bushels, at $1.40 per bush-
el, from a farmer living within ten
miles of the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege. We have just learned that the
name"0,A,O. No. 72" has been chang-
ed to "Imperial," that the College re.
cords have been appropriated, and
that the reported yield has been in-
creased about six per cent., as the
standard weight per bushel of oats,
in the United States is 32 instead of 31
pounds, These, under the name of
Imperial, have been advertised eaten.
sively in catalogue form,and numerous
agents have been travelling from farm
to farm over Ontario and elsewhere
during the spring of 101G selling this
re named variety of oats for $3.18, and
upwards per bushel, The oats were
advertised in exactly the same way by
L. P. Gunson " • Co., and by Geo, K.
Higbie Co., also of New York State,
whose catalogues appear to be identi-
cal except in title pages.
First class seed of the 0, A, C. No.
72 variety of oats can now be purchas-
ed in abundance from Ontario farmers
at Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph, Canada.

A Fair -Minded Paper
Kincardine Reporter (Liberal)
The bilingual question was
brought up in parliament and dis-
cussed. Mr. R. E. Truax, M.P., •`
and Lieut. -Col Hugh Clark, M.P.,
both voted right on the question.
Mr. Truax did not follow his lead-
, er. Plainly, this is an English
speaking province and we are with
the government on this bilingual
question. Another thing we de-
sire to state is that we will not
support shy- man for parliament
who takes any other stand.
We do not see any valid reason
for assisting the French to make
their language the predominating
language of this province. The
French are getting all they are
entitled to. They have shown us
how loyal they are to England by
the splendid number who have
enlisted from the' Province of
Quebec.

PRODUCTION AND THRIFT
Beef Cattle and Economy
"Big Falling Off in Beef Cattle" is a
significant heading on page 108 of The
Agricultural War Book for 1910. On
page 91 there is this paragraph of equal
significance—
"It is in the interests of the Empire
that everything possible should be
done to foster the Canadian Live
stock industry. In Canada, the num'
ber of cattle is about 0,000,000 besides
2,000,000 sheep—a total which, having
regard to the population of the De.
minion, does not at present leave a
very large margin for export. With
the probability of preferential trade in
food within the Empire there are great
possibilities in the expansion of Cana-
dian live stock production.
There was once an English Bishop
who, being called upon to preach a
sermon in aid of an orphan asylum for
boys and girls pointed to the children
arranged in full sight of the congrega-
tion, and, saying "They're there," left
the pulpit. The quotation of, the two
foregoing paragraphs should in like
manner almost be sufficient to indi-
cateto Canadians the opportunity and
duty that lie before them. There is,
however, so much matter of similar
import, and pointing in the same
direction, in the book, that it is well
worth while to look further into it'
As to the falling off, the statistics
show that the decrease of beef cattle
during the years extending from 1910
to 1914, totalled 992,002, or 7,338 fewei
than a million, or upwards of 23 per
cent. Meantime the population in-
creased and people went on eating as
much beef as ever, The decline in
numbers of cattle by provinces was—
Nova Scotia 31,920, New Brunswick
11,133; Ontario 058,910• Manitoba 62,
999; Alberta 293,905, and British Col-
umbia 0,139. Against these decreases
there has to be reckoned an increase
-of 25,681 in Quebec, of 43,272 in Saskat-
chewan and of 3,400 in Prince Edward
Island, It will be noticed that the
decline was in those provinces nearest
to the United States and where pack-
ers are most in evidence.
Two morals are to be gathered from
the foregoing figuree considered h
conjunction with existing conditions
One is that we must produce more,
and, the other, that we must eat less
beef, that ie if we have any desire to
take rank as overseas exporters of lige
stock or live stcck products of any
Importance. To accomplish the one
farmers will need to pay additional
attention to their breeding cows and
to prize them to a greater extent than
official returns would imply they
have been doing. In connection with
the other, it. will be necessary for the
people to cultivate and eat more field
and garden produce, as well as to be
more thrifty In their treatment of
scraps and seemingly waste pieces,
such as bones, skin and fat, They
will need, so the War Book suggests,
to produce all they can; to buy as little
as possible, to replace meat by milk,
cheese, peas, beans and lentils; to use
more vegetables and to eat more fruit.
Mr. C, R, Finch, the newly appoint-
ed agent for the Metropolitan life in-
surance at Wingham received the
following from a friend in Winnipeg.
"E, L. Murray, practical miner, and
standing six feet four in his stocking
feet, arrived in Winnipeg the other
day, with a big nugget of gold made
into a stick pin, adorning his necktie.
"We've got the biggest find on the
Forth American continent." said he
enthusiastically, as he scraped some
Rice Lake mud from his high (they
were necessarily high) top boots. And
then Mr. Murray proceeded to relate
the story of the gold strike:
"The mine that I just left." said he,
"Is the Gold Pan, 25 miles east of Lake
Winnipeg by 80 miles northeast of
Port Alexander, making it a little
over one hundred miles from Winn'.
peg. We have made a phenomenal
strike there at the distance of
110 feet. We have found almost solid
gold, The 40 miners employed on the
place are putting estimates on the
strike and estimate that the gold thus
far taken out of the ground at the
Pan amounts to from $20,000 to $30,-
000 in value.
'I saw a wash tub filled with the
metal and it was almost solid. I also
saw a slab of the stuff, about three-
fourths of an inch thick. between flue,
and els inches long and about three
inches wide, that was almost solid
gold.
"When I left, a depth of 115 feet

Mr. Murray, when seen, was accom-
panied by Capt. George B. Hall. an
experienced prospector. "I have been
in all the principal • mining camps in
North America," said Captain Ball
and I have never seen anything come
out of a quartz vein as rich as this ie."
The men also spoke enthusiastically
of the Moose mine, about three -q uart-
ere of a mile distant from the Gold
Pan ie owned by Boston people.
"So you see," said ()apt Hall, "the
two richest finds, so far at least, have
slipped into the bands of American
ownership. If the people of Canada
knew as well as the Americana do
what we've' got up here in the northern
part of this province, they Would take
more interest in it.
"One more thing," said he. "and
that is that the sooner we get a road
running into the 'tee Lake region, so
supplies can be transported, the sooner
the Haines will be paying dividends."

THE SOLDIER'S PASSWORD
rpt
The following song was composed
by a soldier lad who has been twice
wounded and is now at Shorneliffe.
Sung to the tune of "My Mother's
Prayer."
[never can forget the day
I left my home, now far away,
My loved ones said: "You're in God's
care,
We shall remember you in prayer."
Chorus:
So when I'm tired and tempest tossed,
And feel I surely will be Lost,
A voice comes fleeting through the air
"We shall remember you in prayer."
I feel the grip of father's hand,
He said: "My boy, I hope you'll stand
For all that's good and brave and true
In prayer we shall remember you.
"When at the front or in the camp,
May God's Word be to you a lamp;
A password give I you today,
Now, listen, lad, it's. 'Watch and
pray.'
I've said good -by to all at home.
At duty's call I still may roam;
When satan comes to make me stray,
My password is just 'Watch and pray.'
One day when this life's battle's done,
Our foe is cocquered, victory won,
gay each one meet on the better shore
To be with Christ for evezmore,
Chorus:
So when I'm tired and tempest tossed,
And feel I surely shall be lost,
A voice came floating through the air,
"We shall remember you 1n prayer."
