THE WINGHAM TIMES
ready to believe, nor h it, posaibie
for anyone to show how production
from the land could be so increased
at profit to the producer, particu-
larly with the present high cost of
production, true to scarcity of labor
and other causes. Doubling or treb-
ling production would mean firstpos-
sibly more than doubling or treb-
ling the number of men engaged,
Vastly more farmyard manure and
commercial fertilizer would be neves-
sary; more capital would be neces-
sary in the business, and then in a
normal year what would it mean?
Such a wholesale multiplication of the
products of the farm would more
than likely mean a lowering of prices,
which would eventually show the
producer •that there is a limit to
profitable production and that the
law of diminishing returns applies
with all its force to such operations.
There is practically no limit to the
possibilities of increasing produc-
tion, but the man engaged therein
must be careful not to exceed the
limit of profitable production. There
would be no use of growing fifty
bushels of a crop per acre, in place
of twenty-five, if the increased twenty-
five cost more to get than it would
sell for at market prices, There will
be little danger this year of many of
the farms in the country, however,
reaching the limit of profitable pro-
duction, Men are too scarce and
prices fairly high, but just to point
out that some of the talk we hear,
about the laxity of the farmer in
his producing enterprises, is without
foundation we call attention to the
fact that farmers generally produce
about all they well can with the help
they have, and that beyond a certain
limit increased production might be
made at a loss.

CASTOFZIA 1
WHAT BRITAIN 1S DOING.
(Guelph Mercury)
_ How many times has the remark
been made that the British ought to
start an offensive in the west.
How often have we heard that the
worst blunders of the war have been
made by the British?
Scores of times has it been stated
that France is making the greatest
sacrifices in men and that Britain stands
in danger of angering the French by
allowing them to do the bulk of the
fighting on the western front,
The fireside critics are very often
much more concerned in lining up what
Britain has not done than they are in
paying heed to what she has done, and
to what she is doing at this very
Minute.
The New York World can see where
Britain has come in in the world war.
They can see that the whole thing
swings from the British Isles. Says
the World:
"There is only one military
lesson of this war—sea power, sea
power, sea power! The experience
of the Allies has proved that as it
was never proved before..
"With the best drilled, the best
equipped and the best prepared
army the world has ever known,
Germany is a beseiged fortress.
"With a navy that can command
the sea, Great Britain has been
able to raise and equip at leisure an
army of 5,000,000 men, and not an
enemy soldier has set foot on British
soil except as a prisoner of war."
Had it not been for the necessity of
helping her Allies, Great Britain's ad-
vantage over Germany would have been
still more imposing, the World goes on
to argue. In a war confined to Ger-
many and Great Britain, Great Britain
could have hung out the sign, "Business
as Usual," and left the issue to an in-
comparable navy. Germany would
have been bottled up. The German
army would have been powerless and
the British people could have gone
about their affairs undisturbed except
by an occasional air raid or submarine
operation, neither of which could have
brought any important military ad-
vantage to the Germans. The World
makes the sweeping conclusion:
"It is only because Great Britain
is obliged to help France, Belgium
and Russia that a huge army is
needed at all, and even with a
disability front a military stand-
point of view, it is the British Navy
that has made everything else pos-
sible for the Allies. With Germany
in control of the sea, the war would
have ended within three months
and Germany Would be the master
of Europe. With Great Britain in
control of the sea, a German victory
was long ago made impossible.

quote from the report of the wool sal
held in London on the lith April "Com
petitition was thoroughly strong an
well distributed. The demand for eros
beds has been lively." There is n
indication from any quarter that th
market for wool will be overstocked o
that prices will recede. The contrary
rather, is the case, Russia and Franc
are purchasing heavily in Great Britain
while United States and Canada ar
not easily able to obtain their require
clients. Farmers unquestionably, ar
in 'a very strong position as regards the
sale of their wool this year.
The maintenance of present prices
can have only one result. Already re-
newed interest is being evidenced by
farmers who have not kept sheep for
years. Ram sales were particularly
good last fall. More sheep are being
bred in many of the provinces. We
believe that this year will show a
further extension of the business. As
a matter of fact, no farm animal can
be made more profitable, at the present
time to its owner. The keeping of
sheep for the sake of the wool alone
may become an economic necessity.
With grade lambs selling on the open
market for more than pure breds
brought two or three years ago, a re-
vival of the sheep industry in Canada
may confidently be anticipated.

MORE, MISREPRESENTATIVES
It is utterly inconceivable to the
British or the Canadian mind that a
religious paper could so misrepresent
things as does the Volkszeitung, a pro-
fessedly religious paper of Cologne,
but this is what it has said in regard
to the Austrian troops:
In no other part of the world is the
Briton behaving in so diabolical
a manner as he is among the enslaved
Egyptian people. The worst offenders
are the Australian troops, who are
quartered on the wretched inhabitants
in every town in the unhappy land.
The enumeration of the deeds of
these, the roughest and most savage of
all the English hirelings, would fill an
entire issue of this paper.
The Australian officers, who, for the
most part, spring from the lowest
classes, set the example. The crimes
which these fellows have on their con-
science are such as a kultured person
simply could not comprehend. Savage
drinking bouts, bloody street fights.
mutiny. violation of women, theft,
murder, outrage and incendiarism --
these constitute the charter heads of
the book of the Australians in Egypt.
The English military authorities are
absolutely powerless in regard to
their Australian hired butchers and
executioners. During the month of
February alone 400 natives were shot
in the citadel of Cairo, after being
subjected for hours to the most devil-
ish tortures. The crime of these pea.
pie Was that they had declined to al-
,tow their families to be any longer
,terrorized by the presence in their
home ot ,the Australian ruffians who
;were quartered on them.
