TO THE FARMERS OF CANADA
Approximately twenty million men
have been mobilized in Europa. A
large proportion of these have been
'withdrawn from the countries at war.
Even to neutral countries large num-
hears crf food producers have been cal-
led from the land to be ready foal em-
•Lrgencies It is difficult far us to ze-
: alize what will be the effect on food
production through the withdrawal
.f several million men from all the
great agricultural countries of Europe
These millions cease to be producers
--thee- have become consumers —and
wove still they have become des-
' troyers of food.
While we all deplore this war, we
believe that the present crisis •will
bey productive of good results to-
yard Canada. Business men and the
rant: and file uniting in showing
#her: heroism in every way. They
:axe animated with a spirit of loyal-
ty and devotion which will result in
`,the building up of a greater Canada
-a greater expansion of manufacturing
industries, and the development elf a
new field for our commercial • act-
ivities.
Should the war continue into the
'summer of this year the food prod-
e:Le-4on in Europe cannot approach that
roanormal years. Looking at the ' it-
uatian in even its most favourable
' ligh t there will be a demand for food
that the world will find great diffic.•
Oxy in supplying. Canada is respond
"Mg quickly to the calla the mother -
1 and for men, she must have foode-
:food this year and food next year.
We are sending of our surplus now,
We should prepare for a larger surp-
las this year 'anti, next year. The goy
zrnment its strongly in pressetle with the
taiesirablity of increasing the crop a-
°•: reage in Canada, The Canadian farm ,.
-ter, earnestly bending all his energies,
to increase the food supply for the
Britisher at home and the British
,a -idlers at the front, is doing his
Share in this gigantic struggle of the
Empire
I would urge the fanners to do'
their share in helping to assist the.
:people of Great Britain, who, "for
mane years, have borne the burden of
a heavy tail far the maintenence of
-a, gree` navy, in preventing them front
suffering want or privation.
Do not sacrifice your live stock aur-
'ling
lur-sing war crisis. If farmers ignore this +.
warning the day will come when they
• will regret having depleted their breed
• ing stock through lack of patriotism
eta Canada.
Apart from the practical returns to
-the producers, there is the great
fact that the Caaaclian farmers, who,
"by extra effort, enlarge their wheat
.and other field craps and 'ncrease
'live stack products, will be doing the
'best thing possible to. strengthen the
am_pire in, its day of trial,
ALL RIGHT, BUT ASLEEP
Commenting on the fact 'hat re
eruitin is rather slow in the ,:astern
nrevinces a Canada, the Brockville
Times continues thus :—This is, of
'course disquieting and humiliating..
Rut the truth' is that Canada pas not
yet wakened up to the fact that the
-very existence of Canada depends itp-
:o,n the outcome of the great war now
_being waged so desperately. We are
situate.i 3,000 miles from 'he firing,
line We never hear the ' annon•
booming We never see the lamas-
:e..; warships return to harbor, or -.lure
a,rounlea men. Nor are there thous -
:ands os- mourning widows and •:orrow-
atricker homes in Canada.
If we saw these sights uta heardd,.
these sounds the recruiting would tee
rani,l..enough. It is not a matter of
pies sici-al courage at all; only a,;crave
far afoot would attribute ,.:owardiee
'to Canadians.
We have been quite content in the
past to let Britain's navy protect its,.
though to -day we are waking up rap
idly to the value of the same British
-navy But if a little • shedding• 'bf
Canactian blood will remove, a ittle of
aur complacent selfishness, the erica
though ,great, will'. be worth • ,while
And •.it is worth remembering hat ns-
Brea t mration !ever droved its eat :war
th until it had received its ixaips'ism
'sef blood
Canada is all might, butt it is asleep
so, far as the war is concerned. -
Speaking of military boots remind
'US of the time when the former gov-
ernment proposed to build a neutral
Gravy and equip. it with running shoes,
The patriotic speech of W. G. Wei-'
chel M.P., in. moving the address in
reply to the speech from the Throne..
should make instructive reading. • for
those German diplomats who predict -
„ad with such :confidence. that -,the'
overseas dominions would fall _apart,
a4, the first shot of the war. Mr.
Weiche, has demonstrated the un
swerving loyalty of the great melOx . ,

PATRIOTI5MPRODUCTION
Complete Your Plans Now
The important thing now is .to complete at once your plan for the year's work
for increased production. By planning well in advance, each month's operations can be
carried through mere effectively when the time comes. Delays later on, through neglect
of this, will mean loss to you and to the Empire.
Use the Best
Seed
This year, for the 'aloe of the
Empire, farmers should be
exceptionally carsftfl in the
selection of seed. Cheap seed
is often the dearest. If every
Canadian farmer would use
only the best varieties; and sow
on properly cultivated soil, the
grain output of. Canadian farms`
would be doublet.' Drill only
with reliable seeds,*. Write
at once to Canadian Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa, and to
your Provincial Agrienitrral De-
partment for information as to
the best varieties of seed to be
used in your particular locality,
and use no others.
Clean Your Seed •
All grain intended for seed:.
should be.::thoroughly cleated
and selected to retain only
the strong kernels. You can
reap only what you sow. It
does not pay to sow weeds.
Clean seed means larger crops
and helps to keep the land clean.
When you have your seed grain
ready, put it through the cleaner
once more.
The. Farm Labour Problem
The • Government riaggests the forming of an.
active committee in eveji town and city, composed
of town and country peen and women. This com-
mittee would find. Net the sort of help the farmers
of their locality need, and get a list of the unem-
ployed in their town sr city, who are suitable for
farm labour. With this information, the committee
would be in a good position to get the right man for
the right place.
Councils, both rural and urban, Boards of Trade
and other organizations could advantageously
finance such work. Every unemployed man in the
town or city who is placed on the farm becomes
immediately a producer, instead of a mere consumer
and a civic expense.

ttawa, Canada
Test Your Seed
Test your seed for vitality,
too. Seed is not always as
good as it looks. For example,
oats, quite normal in appearance
and weight, may be so badly
damaged by frost that their
value for seed is completely
destroyed. If you have any
doubt as to the quality of your
seed a sample may be sent free
to the seed laboratory at Ottawa,
or Calgary, - for test. But in
most cases .this simple test will
prove sufficient:— - -
Take a saucer and two pieces
of blotting paper. Place seed
between blotting papers. Kee.P
moist and in a warm place.
In a few days, you will be able
to see whether the vitality is
there. Neglect to test your seed
may mean the loss of crop.
Increase Your Live Stock --
Breeding stock are today Canada's most valuable
asset. The one outstanding feature of the world's
farming is that there will soon be a great shortage
of meat supplies. Save your breeding stock. Plan
to ;increase your live .stock. Europe• and the United
States as well as Canada will pay higher prices for
beef, mutton and bacon in the very near future.
Do not sacrifice now. Remember that live stock is
the only basis for prosperous agriculture. You are
farming not speculating.
