Busiest Fortnight in Their History.
A despai.ch from London says:--,
Tho rush of British. harvesters to
Canada, which has given the steam-
ship companies the busiest fortnight
ever experienced, will end on Saturday
Wlion over 7,000 men will be on their;
way to the, wheat fields. ];very avail-
able berth has been booked and if the
fdemand were twice as great it could
he filled. Eighteen hundred men have
gone from Glasgow and 1,000 more
will go before Saturday,. Fight Can-
adian Pacific boets left dinning the
present fortnight with all available
space filled. The Ansonia' , Carole'
and Canada of the 'White ,Star Line
ere leaving fully loaded, while the
Pittsburg and Scythia are almost
booked up.
A striking feature of this emigra-
tion and one typical of the economic
depression here is the exodus of skill-
ed craftsmen. One hundred and fifty
men who left Manchester included
univeesity students, eogineeis, engine
drivers, cotton salesmen,; electricians.

Trees.
Trees from the moment of their

It were well with human being could

youth or in their prime, both are eu

served. It mustendure the' change of
seasons.; It must suffer heat and cold,
the snow, the. rain; yet it lives beau-
tifully to gladden the eye; to comfort
with its shade; and when it dies it
feeds'the'fires of a home, or it builds
a house, or it provides the material
for uses industrial and domestic a
hundredfold.
Living and dying, aro we as useful
as the trees that are our comrades?
Thoreau wrote 'a ,paper for the At-
lantic Monthly' in which he said, of 'a.
certain' tree' he knew and:loved,'that
it might ,one day,: go to as- 'high a
heaven, there to tower above him still.
Lowell, then editor of the" magazine,
was 'grieved by what seemed to him
the impiety of that observation. Ile
deleted the offending sentiment. Thor-
eau, was :incensed; 'and the two-man
never quite•r'epaired the wound that
the incident deait:to their friendship.
But one who, like Ruskin, does full
justice to the. essential nobility . of a
tree, though he be called a pagan For
it, will find in .the tree ; a .kind ' 01
soul.. He will feel that in manysways
its majestic dignity, its generous amp-
litude; its innocence of fuss and fret;
rsbirke whatsoever things- in human
life are small and mean and unworthy
of a man's `place in God's' universe.'

•Agricultural Life of Canada
For the year 1922 the total agri- , the value of farm animals and fruits

420,170„000 as compared with. $1,403,-
686,000 in1021, $1,98,6,082,000"1n 1920,
• 92,109,291,000 in 1919 and 91,881,-
718,000 hi 1918, The total for 1922
showeta ,net increase of 916,484,000
or 1l per cent, as ,compared with
1921, and a decrease of 9565,912,000
er 28.5 be cent. as compared with
1920, Whist field crops in the past
year showed increase of 930,661,-
000, this was ,largely offset by a fur-
ther'' decline -in livestock values, the
production for the year showing a de-
cline of 920,876,000 as compared with
1921, which in turn exhibited a ma-
terial decline from 1920.
The entire 'agricultural reveniue of
1022, amounting to 91,420,170,000, is
'made up as follows: Field crops,
$962,526,000;: farm animals, 977,648,-
000; wool, $3,180,000; dairy products,.
$250,0'18,000; fruits and vegetables,
955,855,000; 'poultry ,and eggs, 958,-
815,000; fur,' farming, 91,504,000;
maple products, 95,576,000; tobacco,
94,548,000.
In agricultural revenue the Pro-
vince ,of Ontario maintains a fairly
wide lead, accounting for 9435,231,000
of the total. A Western province,
Saskatchewan, has 'assumed second
place with 9322,457,000; followed by
Quebec with $271,764,000, Alberta
and Manitoba both come over the hun-
dred million!'doilar mark with $125,-
582,000 for the former and $120,480,-
000 for the latter. Nova Scotia ac-
counted for $45,626,000; British Col-
umbia fora 943,514,000; ,New.,l3ruils-.

but three. In British Columbia this
was occupied by fruits: and vegetables,
In New Bntinswick by farm animals

tables. In all branches of agriculture
but three, Ontario led in revenue, Sae-

21 increated were recorded it ,field
opf, wool, ,#airy precincts, poifitry
nd oggs, 1019 teeteifg, maple pro-
nate attd tolmeeo, and decreases in
and vegetables only. The increase in
the total agricultural revenue of the
Dominion last year is effected entirely
by increases secured by the three
Prairieprovinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
It is interesting to, glance back ; to
see the manner in which most of the
items of agricultural revenue in Can-
ada have increasedin recent years,
Comparing last year's, figures with
those of 1915, for instance, which was
an outstanding ,agricultural'year for
Canada, some startling developments
are noted. The most remarkablesis in
that of dairy products, the value of
which has grown from 9146 005,000
to 9250,618,000 in the seven-year
period. The value of poultry and•
eggs similarly , has increased from
$35,000,000 to $68;81.5,000 and that -of
fruit and vegetables' from 985,000,000
to 955,855,000 -in the same period. The
value of field crops, whilst showing a
' decline from the years '1918-19-20 and
21, nevertheless, shows an increase of,
9137,155,000 when compared with the
value in 1915. I,

Natural Resources
Bulletin
The Natural Resources Intel-
ligence Service , of the' Depart-
ment of the Interior' at Ottawa
says:
Comparison of the butter arid
cheese:. output of Ontario shows`,
a condition of riso and fall in
production in these two comime
dities which may be_terincdext
trema. Frohn 1900, when the
butter output was ;7,559,542
pounds, it has made rapid and
steady progress, until last year
the tremendous total of 51,-
000,090 pounds was reachedd.
On the other hand, in 1900
Ontario produced 131,067,612..
pounds of cheese, -since which.
time a gradual decrease in out-
put is shown, until in 1922 but
90,600,000 pounds, was produc-
ed. This latteir condition' is the
more abnormal from the fact,
that the defeat of 1900 was
valued at 913,440,987, while the
much levier. quantity of 1922
was valued at 914,932,000,,

BY DR'J. G. SHEARER.
China is in',a state., of chaos and
anarchy. ' Russia is under a dictator-
ship, Yet both are in' theory demo-
cracies. Democracy is the ideal form
of government only for an ideal people
or at .least a people sufficiently ad-
vanced toward'the ideal to make demo
crazy. practicable. It -is the 1•ule of
the people. , It requires a higher ,ste .
dard of intelligence and integrity
among the people than- any other sys-
tem, A people far below tho,required
standard of intelligence and'`trust-
worthiness are quite unable to govern
themselves, If a large number of the
rank and file,are selfseekerd and
grafters they will suspect their elected
rulers of.selfseeking'and ;graft usually
with good reason. In a democracy th
people elect; as a rule, the sort o
rulers they, deserve, The only sur
-way of raising the standard of gover
Dors and legislators is'to raise th
standard of citizenship in general—
to improve the calibre and characte
of the people. It is a slow process
Hence only a few of 'the nations o
-justice and ;a desire to see justice
done and therefore a disposition -to "do
unto others as each would that men
should do unto him;IR'
Judged by these standards what
seems the outlook for deinocracy'in
Canada? The:world knows' the' shock
with which the United States" people
learned of the large percentage of
their draftees who did not pass the
literacy test. Would the percentage
be, lower in Canada?: Probably ,not.
One province reports "17 per cent. of.
its children of school age not in school.
Some other provinces will not be far
in 'advance of the one referred to.
Compulsory school attendance is laxly
en£orced,invery many communities.
Psychiatrists telt us about two per
cent. of the people are mentally sub-
normal. Probably one-third of these
e! are 21 years of age' or over. It is
fstartling to contemplate 80,000 Can-
e adian electors utterly incapable of ex-
_ ercising the franchise. ,And they are
e multiplying twice as rapidly as noe-
1 mal folk. Again it is a significant
rl fact that only ten per cent. of our
!school children are taking high school
fi courses. That means that ninety out
the world have become' or continued t
be democracies: Great Britain an
her daughter. Dominions; ,the Unite

only a small minority of our electors

operation of democratic, government.
While by comparison with others
lemonstr'ate whether their peoples
•were, ready for the, great adventure
as manifestly China,was not, nor Rus-
sia. The other- nations of the, world
are monarchies or•obligarchies.
The ;essential 'qualifications on the
part of any people for democracy
are:- •
First, at least normal mentality.
Subnormal individuals are utterly in-
capable of government.- They need 'a'
benevolent autocrat to guide and gov
ern them.
. Second, a high standard of educe -
the higherr the better. Illiterates'
cannot understand, the: problems of
government. It is difficult enough for
non -illiterates; -
Third, but mere literacyusually
as
interpreted falls far short of being
sufficient, • Rulers of a nation (aind.
such. -are all electors' in a democracy)
must be educated. They should all
have at least high school training in
history, literature, and' all the com-
mon subjeets on
ommon'subjects,on a school curriculum
and also a knowledge of the elements
of economics.,
Fourth, character, , conviction, con-
science; a clear knowledge of right.
