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 ehowi that what le needed in Canada fp a praotlpal tpetbod of producing Ohm Information regarding the growing of finis for steed and fibre purpose, is ttoiateined In bulletin No, 50 of the Central Experimental Farm which Orin be had by applying to the Depart. invitation to visit hind in the West and the Advance hepes that he may sojourn there 'fora time and then re- turn an active worker in the; Conner- native rankdr Special Council Meeting.

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. History of Byroli. elorrelra The Toronto "Huron Old Boys" are to be eommended for taking in hand the preparation of a history of the grand old county of Heron. They are very anxious to learn of the pieta (ter days and early settlers. Anyone sending such information to Mr. Robt. Rotates of Toronto will be doing a good servle'e to the county,. Any In formation that may be left at the Ade vanoe Ofifoe will be forwarded to the t»akerrt of the 'history. 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." ing a call not of the blood, but of duty and gratitude. Shoulder to shoulder with all other Canadians they will do tbeir duty." Auction Sale. Mr. D. E.
