Patriotism without proclnction is
an empty sound, If ever there
was a tine' when by your deed;
you are required to be known, it
is now. Now, when the Empire
is at war; now, when many of the
regular channels of supply are
closed; now when men in miillions
have been summoned from the
Paths of industry to 'the inferno' of
destruction; now, ,,when Britain
is fighting for Belgium's right to
live; now, when the world's liber
ties are nt stake, when Germany
seeks to prostrate Britain even as
she has prostrated Belgium; now,
when Germany threatens the forty
million people of England, Sc'ob-
land; Ireland. and Wales with star
vation; now,, when the enemy is
bombarding peaceful towns and
villages( slaughtering innocent and
harmless women and children: now
w hen • fertile[ Beide and fruitful gar
dens of other lands are lying in
waste and swollen with death . now
is the time When Canada is called
upon to put forth( her mightiest of

In entering upon the campaign
in Which it is 11555 engaged, the
Department of Agriculturet of the
Dominion has entered upon a task
that shonldl d> untold. good. It is
not that our farmers needed al to
"•ether to be prompterll to benefit
themselves, but that perhaps some
of them do not entirely recognize
the seriousness of the present and
the more probable critical condi-
tions of the future, 1f the war
war were to end tomorrow, there
would still be need for every ef-
fort in productiveness, for many
years must elapse before the de-
vastation that has been caused
can be remedied, or repaired. Un-
happily, the probabilities are that
the giant conflict will continue for
many months yet, in which case
the mind of man cannot fathom or
forsee the damaget hat will have
done to every form bf industry.
To Agriculture in particular, by
the waste of life, by the wrecking
of property and by the spreading
of desolation. It is in repairing
the damage others cause that the
farmers are called upon to aid.
It is their mother country that
cries to them.
The Agricultural! Department is
hot alone holding Conferences at
many points in the country, but
it is engaged, as will be seen by
the announcement elsewhere, in
distributing large quantities of
literature telling how the farmer
can best serve the interests of the
empire, display' tils�r .grateful]
sense,
of patriotism and bring profit to
himself. In brief and explicit Lang
nage, that all who run : may read
and read and understands is point
ed out the needs of the situation
and how those needs can be met.
Above all, the advice is given to
avoid waste. Everything, can be
utilized. Nothing need be thrown
away as useless. The economy of
production is in saving.
The wisest can learn something
by reading, and in fie Bulletins
