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. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S 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.

The wool situation needs lit eommept, While it is probably tr that the mills in Canada have, at t present moment, sgffieient stocks Canadian grown wool to meet the requirements for the current month such is only a temporary condition a is not similarly the fact as reg¢ their requirements for wools not grow in Canada.' The position of the wor wool market is very firm indeed. 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. the sell - to 220 ew roar- ing the bile eon of bly her ion a ro- tle ue he of it 5, nd reds n ld To es d 9 0 e r e e e Ba,t Cold in The Chest "I am happy to tell you that 1 used Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, and was promptly cured of a very bad cold in the chest," writes Miss Josephine Gauthier, Dover South, Ont, You can depend upon Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to relieve and cure all inflammations and irritations of the throat and bronchial tubes. 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.
