Production Of Flax Fibre.
Increased Growth and Improved
ltlethods Rt quired
The linen industry in Ireland
and Scotland is in danger as a conse-
quence of the war, Much of the raw
material, flax fibre, has come from
Belgium, France and Russia. and these
sources of supply are, for the time
being, closed Representatives from the
large mills of Great Britain have re-
cently visited Canada in an endeavcur
to enlist the . cc -operation of
farmers in a greater production of
flax.
Here is an opportunity to de-
velop the industry in this country,
and by modern methods of pro-
duction and handling, put it on a
basis that will make it profitable
under normal conditions and prices.
Flax for fibre can be grown in
Canada whereever mixed farming
can be carried on. In some parts
of Quebec and in Western Ontario,
from the
days of early settlement
,
flax has been grownand homes
made into linen, In only a few
sections of Ontario in 1004 some
700 tone offibre were produced,
which sold for $201 per ton. This
fibre was of a poor commercial
grade, owing to antiquated methods
of .preparation for spinning, A ship-
ment to Belfast produced by slightly
improved methods sold for $240 per
ton. The average price for Irian flax
fibre during the last five 'Tears has
been $325 per ton, while Belgian flax
has averaged $405 per ton, It is.
obvious that Canadian flax should
supply the present deficiency and
future rsquireweipts of the Empire's
for linen production,
Few materialp ,
ands that more remunerative prices
will be received if improved methods
of production are employed,
The average acre of flax grown
for fibre, under normal market Con-
dition*,
and using the newprocees,
p ,
would yield at least $45,00 `;North of
fibre and seed, worth $13, making a
total of $58. This it; about three
times the usual export value of an
acre 'of wheat. It will be three years
at least before normal conditions can
again be expected, and daring this
ante higher prices:are likely to prevail.
The area in flax (mainly for seed)
in Canada, 1013, was 1,54800 acres
cud, in 1914, 1,081,000 acres. This
'haws a deolded decrease and it also

German Canadians Loyal
to Britain Declares Mr. W.
G. Weichel in Commons
There is good reading in the speech
of Mr. William G. Weichel, the Ger-
man -Canadian Conservative member
for North Waterloo, who moved the
address in reply to the Speech from
the Throne. The Kaiser and his ad-
visers might read this speech with
profit to themselves, It is the proof
of one of their chief mistakes, the con-
tradiction of one of their moat cher-
ished theories.
The German militarists, misjudging
in this as they have done in all other
important matters, counted upon the
collapse of the Brititih Empire, They
had been told, and they believed, that
at the outbreak of the war against the
United Kingdom, the great self-gov-
erning Dominions would sever their
connection with the Empire. The
German war party failed to grasp the
meaning of the British Empire, an
empire of free peoples. boun3 to-
gether by the will of these people.,
and not by compulsion.
GERMAN -CANADIANS LOYAL
Mr. Weichel's speech thrawe the
spotlight upon this great blunder of
the Prussian strategists. A Canadian
of German origin, representing a come
munity of German -Canadians, be pro-
claimed the unswerving loyalty of the
German -Canadian to the Empire in
which they live and whose freedom
they enjoys
Mr. Weichel paid special attention
to the attitude of the German-Canad-
iane in the present crisis. Speaking
of the war, he said:—
"Ruthiesely a:wr,kened from our
long slumber of false security, we
are called upon to -day to desert
for a time at least the doctrine of
peaces that has taken firm root
amongst all peace -loving people
throughout rhe world, and to de-
vote our energies towards the
Adoption of mea.'u e • to tide us over
the present existing crisis—nne
that not only affects our own Do-
minion of Canada, but will have a
tendency to cement the bonds of
imperial unity throughout the
whole Empire. Certain measures
to meet the existing situation will
be introduced in this House by the
Government this session. We
are confronted with a situation
that demands the co-operation of
every member occupying a seat in
this chamber, that demands cour•
age of a high order,a courage born
of conviction that we are in the
right, and that to falter and hesi-
tate would be fatal to the coun-
try's and the Empire's best inter-
ests."
"Never"' said Mr. Weichel, "baa
the world witnessed such a catas-
trophe, such awful carnage, such ruth-
less disregard of the rights of othere,"
intensive Cultivation—Its Re-
lation To The -Farm Labor
Problem.
The development of a more inten-
sive cultivation must carry with it
a much more careful consideration
of the labour problem, The difficulty
of gettingand keeping labour on the
farm is a commonplace. I think farm-
ers have not faced the fact that this
difficulty is due in the main to their
own way of doing their business.
Competent men will not stay at farm
labour unless it offers them continuous
employment as part of a well -ordered
business concern; and this is not
possible unless with .a greatly im-
proved husbandry.
To -day agriculture has to compete
in the labour market againet other,
and to many men,more attractive, in-
dustries, and a marked elevation in
the whole standard of life in the rural
world is the beet insurance of a better
supper of good farm labour. Only an
intensive eyetene of farming can afford
any large amount of permanent em•
ployment at deeent wages to the rural
labourer, and only a good supply of
competent labour can render intensive
farming on any large scale practicable.
But the intensive system of farm-
ing not only gives regular employ -
remit and. good wages; it also fits the
labourer of to -day — in a country
where a man can strike out for him-
self—to be the euecessful farmer of to..
morrow; Nor, in these days of Ina -
personal d a rial relations,tions, should
the fact be overlooked that under an
intensive system of agriculture, we
find still preeerved the kindly personal
relation between employer and em-
ployed which contributes both to the
pteasantneee of life and to economic
progress and security,. -Sir Horace
Plunkett in The Rural life Problem of
the united States.

NOT BRITAIN'S MAKING
Mr. Weichel touched upon the loss
to the nation in the death of Lord,
Roberts, the general satisfaction felt
wben Lord Kitchener was placed in
charge of the War Office, and to the
silent victory of the navy. British e. "German—Canadians were answer -
subjects throughout the world, he said
bad reason to be thankful to those
Hien, who saw that trouble was bound
tq conte and prepared the navy for it.
"This is a war that was not desired
by Great Britain. The causee that
brought it about are familiar to all of
yon, and need not be discussed today,
But from the evidence produced, we
are secured that the statesmen of Eng-
land tried by every man in their pow-
er to avoid an armed confict. Every
art known to diplomacy, to bring
about a better understanding and
to preserve the peace, wee exercised,
but to no avail. And now that the
die is cast, feeling and knowing that
we have a juetnauee, there will be no
hesitation on the part of the people
living within the British Empire, with
a stern resolve, to once and forever
take issue with those who proclaim
the doctrine that might is right, who
favour military autocracy as against
the doctrine of true democracy."
PROUD OF BIS CITIZENSHIP'
e declared eel proud
Mr. Weichel d cls ed him t
of his British citizenship. "Although
born in Canada " he said, "I am of
German origin, and needless to'say,
along with many hundred thoueande
of other people living here at the pres-
ent time, I feel very keenly the eitua-
ion that hair developed in Europe."
"For many years you have harbour-
ed in your midst a great many people
of German origin—thrifty and frugal
in their habits—possessed of energies
and business abilities that have
aroused the admiration of all classes
in Canada. They have'alwaye been
looked upon as desirable citizens.
Thoueande of them have settled in
this fair county, along with immi-
grants from every other part' of the
globe, and very few of them would
leave Canada to -day for any other
country in the world, should opport-
unity offer."
HAVE RECEIVED FAIR PLAY
Stating that the German element
had recieved fair play in Canada since
the war began, Mr. Weichel adds:—
"I am not here today to make any
apology for the German -Canadians in
Canada but thie I do say, and am
pleaeed to say it with all the energy I
can command, that the people of Ger-
man origin in this country are loyal to
their King and loyal to the Empire;
and that they have, since the.outbreak
of hostilities, given ample evidence to
this effect."
"German Canadians are proud of the
race from which they eprung, proud of
/German progese in science, art, music,
literature and philosophy, but, sir,
they are not proud of the violation of
the neutrality of Belgium, of the
burning of Louvain, nor of the de•
etruction of the Rheims cathedral.
German art,• German music, . German
science, is one thing, but Prussian
militarism is another, and the reason
why so many people of German origin
%have left their old fatherland, was to
escape military domination, and to-
day they are just as eager and anx-
ious as you are for the obliteration
of the curse which has been weighing
so heavily upon Europe for so many
years."

and gratitude. Shoulder to shoulder
with all other Canadians they will do
tbeir duty."

tures for the year 1013 were $43,966,-
733. It is an axiom in manufacturing
that the larger the output the lees the
proportionate cost. If Canadiane, by
purchasing made -in -Canada goods,
enable Canada's manufacturers to in•
crease their output to the extent of
50% of her imports, it would permit
such a reduction in their manufactur-
ing costs as to give them a greater
opportunity of meeting competition
in the markets ofthe world. This
would again call for the employment
of more Canadiane and the further
use of Canada's raw material.
