Juet now there's being perfected a scheme ;Nor an educational cernpaign, nation-wide. Our delegates from On- tario and the East are meeting with delegates of the. Western provinces in convention at Brandon,, and ]firm, Brodie is to address that great gather- ing. Piens. are being formulated there to make it possible to acquaint the rank and filo of the citizens of the country with affairs as they really' are. The Immigration laws, and how they are carried out; the system of protection and how it works out in the daily life of the people, its bearing on the high cost of living, eta, will be discussed, and the discussion, and its results be made avtailabie to. the people, People are thinking, and Canadian people at least are thinking seriously, not only to seek a remedy to allay the unrest, but to apply this remedy con- stitutionally. It can be•done if we all shoulder our responsibility and use the constitutional means we have for the betterment of conditions. But if Nee refuse to accept our responsibili- ties, no one can tell what the outcome will be. We cannot stifle thought, but it can be directed into right channels. Upon the press of the land and upon all those whose ability has placed theist in nositions of leadership, a very serious responsibility nets. Avoid it we cannot, shirk it we dare not, for the consequences of action, or Inac- tion, of foolish wavering of purpose, or resolute facing of duty, will each bring different results, but sure_ re- sults, The individual Canadian citi- zen must a0cept ,his individual, per- sonal share of responsibility with all that that entails. The ship of state cannot drift into a safe harbor. It must be piloted there and the sea is rough and the rocks are many, and everyone trust be at his post. The work of the U.F.O.— U.F.W.O. is chiefly tof impress, upon our farm people their` duty, of Cana- dian citizens. The organization also seeks to co-operate as far as possible with all other organizations whose aims are similar,—Margery Niills. —y. City Markets and The Cost of Living The operation of city produce mar- kets is regarded as having as close bearing on the cost of living in the towns and cities. With a view evi- dently of bringing out the best sys- tems of conducting city, markets, The Agricultural Gazette of ]Canada pub- lished by the Department of Agricul- ture at -Ottawa; has brought together, in the December number, the systems by which markets are handled in eighteen Of the larger cities in Canada. The statements ,provided, by ' city mayors, city clerks anis superinten- dents of markets show clearly that there does not exist in Canada any uniform system of city market ad- ministration. Each city has its own special rules and regulations. In some instances the market le sublet to a sort of publican who buys from the city the privilege to collect tolls or fees from those who bring produce to the market. In other cases, as in Regina, we find a women's organiza- tion efficiently conducting the city market on a business basis, while many public markets are directly, man- aged by a ccenmittee appointed by the city council. The Hamilton Board of Trn.de has established a wholesome relationship between its ,urban and rural peoples by creating a farmers' section of the Board. The friendly co- operation and exchange of views be- tween the two sections result in: a bet- ter understanding of c00(litions, 0onse- quently the etamilton market is high- ly esteemed by growers and buyers. It serves the interest of boils, Speelal Ceatures adopted by 'various market adminisirateons are giving excellent results, for example, the system adopt- ed :as at Port Arthur tor the selling of Consignments of produce by the map ket manager on a commission basih, •Besides seeming to' the purchasers fresh supplies of food at a cost usually below the prices charged in the stores, those markets bring to the produeer considerably higher prices'than if the p7 educe. were Oompelled to pass through several 1101atts, each taking their teem 9111 toil., Weekly Market Repot Brenda Tar'ontc, jun, 14.' --Manitoba wheat --No, 1 Northern, $2.80, No2 North - 'ern, 32,77; Nor 8 No: them, 32,711; in. store Fera.

In those diitricts where the oat crop was a partial or total failure last sea- son, farmers are becoming somewhat anxious as to the available supply of seed.'oats. There 10 a general tendency on the part of.farmers who have seed oats for sale to withhold them until later in the winter. The movement of sped oats is delayed also, because transportation has been 'deeded fir coal, feed and live stock. Possibly 400,000 bushels of seed oats may be required in Ontario and Quebec, and e m'uc'h larger Quantity be Southern Alberta and Saskatche- wan, TheCanadian Government Seed Purchasing Commission already has substantial supplies in Store in the In- terior Terminal Elevators, and taiga quantities of good -quality early -har- vested oats are still'to come forward. Alberta and Saskatchewan require- ments will be given first consideration from the seed oats produced In these provinces, The shortage in Ontario and Quebec may quite easily be met from the large and excellent oat crops in Prince Edward Island add Eastern Nova Scotia. No, 1 quality Island Banner seed oats are now being delivered ad' far west as Toronto at a price com- parable with Western seed oats of the same grade. The price of No, 1 seed oats delivered in bulk car lots at any point in Ontario and Quebec should not exceed the current Fort WiIlianl cash- price for No. 2 Canada Western oats by more than 25 cents per bushel. Registered and other select stocks true to variety may be higher in price. The Dominion Seed Branch pro- vides a seestem of grading and inepec- tion, so that shippers in eiEhor West- ern Canada or the Maritime pro- vinces may make delivery of seed in- spection certificates with their bills of lading. Purchasers of seed oats any part's Canada may now buy on the basis of grade, No, 1 seed, No, 2 seed, etc., and subject to the delivery of seed inspection certiLcatds,—Go, 11. .Clark, Seed Commissioner.
