Great Britain can- not be starved, 'There Is enough to provide for .the armies and the civ- ilians until the next crop, but no mere, There are iio food reserves, as there should be, Indeed, Canada must double its production in 1910. Let that soak in. The continent of. Atnerica has promised, and must de- liver 15,000,000 tons of food stuffs this coming year.. In 1017-18, 10,- 000,000 tons were promised ,anil,will be delivered. Ainerica must produce 50 percent, more for the Allies. That's the job before the farmers and citizens of this country. The great: crops of grain in , the United States in 1918 may not be duplicat- ed next year, and Canada will have to deliver a still greater share. 'Phere are but two ways of securing this total -production and coil-erva& tion. And the greater' el these is PRODUCTION. The manifest duty of the hour is to prepare the land for the coming of banner crops in 1919. PLOUGH, PLOUGH, PLOUGH. This should be hammered into the consciousness of Canadians NOW. This country, with a year's exper- ience in tractors, with, several hun- dred more of them available this fall than in 191.7, should be able to burn over many million more acres than ever in the history of this coun- try. The more ploughed, the greater will be the production. The' weather is favorable, the machinery is avail- able, the necessity of the times de- mands it. TFIEN PLOUGH.

Here is what he has to say in one of his books: "My other piece of advice, Copperfield," said Mr. Micawber, "you know. Annual income £20, annual expenditure £19. 19, 6 -result, happiness, Annual income £20, annual expenditure £20. 0. 6 --result, misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the God of Day goes down upon the dreary scene, and -and in short youare forever floored. As I am." The saving of a part of one's in- come was always a good policy. Prurient men and women have always maintained a margin of saving. But to -day we must go farther in our efforts to save than ever before. To -day it is a matter of the gravest importance that each Canadian seek ways and means to economize by cutting down ex- penditures for unnecessary things, saving the money he spends on things he could do without, so that when the Nation needs to borrow money he will be in a posi- tion to do his full duty. There is war -shortening work wait- ing for every dollar that can be saved. IF Charles Dickens were writing to Canadians to -day he would probably give us advice to this effect: "My other piece of advice, Canadians, you know. No matter what percentage of your annual income you have pre- viously saved, your efforts to -day should be to save more. The advantage of so doing is threefold: By the practice of economy you conserve the material and labor which must be devoted to the grim task before us; you cultivate the priceless habit of thrift; you gather more and snore money to lend to the Nation for the prosecution of the war to a quick and certain Victory."

"A store of savings is to the work- ing num as a barricade against want." -Samuel Smiles.. Help Fight Your Country's Battles Are you saving any money for Victory ? That's the question that Inas to be answered one way or the other now. Are you doing anything at all to help fight your country's battles ? Surely it is time to walie up. What counts is the decision to do things. If you start a saving fund of your own, that settles it, you are on the patriotic side. Your efforts count. If not, you might as well be a spendthrift enemy 1 Now is the time to act. Either you are a patriot doing your bit 17' saving your funds, or you are an enemy, disregarding the call of your country and your boys, whose lives are going out at a tremendous rate in Flanders just now. It is not too late to begin. Save for Victory I Potato Seed Selection (Experimental Farms°Note) Like begets like in the potato field as elsewhere, but - ,judging by, the quantities of inferior tubers used for seed purposes, the importance of this law is not appreciated by many. The use of small potatoes taken from the. bulls of the crop, year after year, and used for seed will even- tually lead to yields of inferior po- tatoes. At potato digging time the great opportunity for: seed selection is of- fered. With the product of each plant spread on the. soil it is an easy matter to select out those plants that have given the largest yield of the most desirable typo of potato and are free from disease. 'ie potatoes front such plaitsits only should be gathered and saved for use as seed the following year. This saving of seed at digging time3�?ntwy seem to many as an extra b'tt - during a rush of work, but it is not, There is less actual labour attach- ed to seed selection at the time of the potato harvest than there is by practising any other method of seed selection. Furthermore, the results from hill selection are reasonably certain white with other methods there is some speculation. Potato growers would do well to watch closely for exceptionally good plants. 'ritese, harvested and saved apart from the main crop, may. percale the grand -dads of line potato fields in the Mum,
