!'here has bean no call for slacken-
ing elTOrts, The impression seems to
prevail that Canada Ilea done well
el1ough in -growing grains; ' and the
fatu re is assured, so far as ]'Dad is
concerned, Such is not Ilia ease,
has not been the ease, nor • wtil it be
for some time to ovine. The 0011 is
for more and Yet 01010 production;
and the nu for fnod is still loud in
the ears of Canadiane• The hard
work and self sacrifice of Canadians
has borne fruit. 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. Let the
tractors hum 24 hours a day.

CHARLES DICKENS is one of the world's great teachers.
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."

Minister of FInance of Canada

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

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.
