What can we do to match their sacri- fice? When friends they love crash headlong through the night In burning bloody, mangled earthward flight,-. Themselves the target of the angry skies, The target .of the vengeful earth be- lowl-- Again, again they take that path to hell,. Their inner torment only God can tell What can we give to pay that debt we owe? Could we but see them storm the riv- er's banks, Whose reddened deeps scarce cool the hissing lead, Where sightless eyes, dumb lips pro- claim man clay; Or watch them stem the onrush of the That grind the living flesh into the. tanks dead What would we give our debt to them to pay? Montreal . Grace Pollard TELL HIM NOW I£ with pleasure you, are viewing, Any work a man is doing, If you like him or you love him Tell bill] now. Don't withold your approbation, Till the parson makes oration, As he lies with snowy lilies an his brow,. For no matter how you show it, He won't really, know about it, He won't know how many tear drops you have shed; If you think some praise is due him, Now's the time to slip it to him For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. More than fame and more than money, Is the comment kind and sunny, And the hearty, Warm approval of a friend, For it gives to life a savor and it makes you stronger, braver, And it gives you heart and comfort to the end. If he earns your praise, bestow it; 7f you like him, let him know it; Let true words of encouragement be said. Don't wait till life is over, And he's underneath the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. A C ANADLAN AIRMAN AT MALTA (To P. O. Perry King—Missing Feb. 1943) So this is Europe! Studied in my school it few short years ago. Castles on the Rhine, the boot I Italy France's sunny vineyards and the isles of Greece! I vowed I'd see them all before I died, Germany was colored red upon my map—, Was that prophetic of her fiery doom And France was pink, as though her richest blood Had. slowly drained away.

Williams V Better to Budget Farm Income Although a farm budget scarcely ever works out at planned, still he who budgets is likely to come out bet- ter than he who trusts to luck, says W. D. Albright, Superintendent of the Beaverlodge Experimental Sta- tion. Speaking from thirty years' of frontier experience, budgeting giv- es one a grasp of one' business and is a wholesome check on "big eye e." It warns against counting on one dollar to do the work of two or three. An annual budget is good; a monthly one is better. Commence a budget by estimating the income. First set down the.assur- ed resources such as cash in hand, bank deposits, grain in bins etc. To- tal these. Then list the more prob- lematical of fluctuating items such as cream cheques, hogs sales ,etc and w tal these. Add the two sums, rernem being always that the bird in tha hand is the only one to count upon. Now set down the fixed expenditures: taxes, interest, insurance premiums and the like. Total these. Then put down the ordinary expen- ditures, such as food, clothing and repairs. Total then. Add these two totals and compare with the probable income. If there is not enough income begin trimming sail, In the happy event of a probable surplus see how far it will go toward the new stove or combine. Make a list of the things desired and decide what are must urgent, not forget- ting Victory Bonds. 1. Balance the. assured income against the definite commitments. 2. Balance total probable income against total probabIe outlay. 3. Figure how to spend any prob- able surplus to the best advantage. but only after it is received. Such budgeting helps one to see the end from the beginning, as all good business men try to do. V Farmer is Key Man of Reconstruction For the re-establishment of a pros- perous agriculture in Canada, many schemes have been proposed in refer- ence to large works programs, Dr. E, S. Archibald, Director, Dominion Ex- perimental Farms Service, told the Canadian Chamber of Commerce at.its. recent meeting, but he said, while these schemes soundly conceived would make for a modern, ,ouch iin- proved and more permanent agricul- ture in Canada, agricultural recon- struction must start with the farmer himself. He must have facilities whereby Inc may improve his business. That, said Dr. Archibald, obviously in- volved cheaper credit, comparable at least to that -which is available to. in- dustry. The farmer alone can rebuild his business, his home and his soils, Farmers of Canada would certainly prefer fair prices for their products without subsidies, bonuses and sub- ventions. No doubt there .wiil be 'a transition, but the peacetime program of'agricultnre cannot be built on the vagaries of insecure and changing factors of that kind.

FERTILIZER SUPPLIES i Farmers are urged to mabe imme- diate arrangements for fertilizers they will need next spring and to ac- cept delivery during the winter months. Owjng to the present pro- blems of transportation, labour and storage. It is necessaray to keep the fertilizers moving from the plants if the manufacturers are to meet the far - pars' needs. About 500,000 tons of fertilizer of the different kinds are expected to be available in Canada for the spring of 1944. This is almost double the quantity used a few years ago, so it is a question of avoiding peak labour loads in the fertilizer plants, preventing overloading of transportation facilities and relieving the storage situation. No one can accurately estimate the extent of the demand for fertilizer that may develop this coming season, states G. S. Peart, Fertilizers Admin- istrator, but those best informed agree that it will be the heaviest in the history of Canada and the sup- ply may not be sufficient. For this reason the farmers who orders early and accepts delivery early will be more sure of getting what he wants and will have it on hand when the time comes to use it. He will also make a distinct contribution to food production in making it possible for the fertilizer plants to get the fertil- izer out to best advantage of all con- cerned. ou tl y eathel s More Than Costume Good stock, good condition, and good plumage of poultry and good production give the poultryman a pride in his work. By the same token, bare back$ and feather puiling procli- vity in flock cast a reflection on good management, because these conditions reveal deficiencies in feeding. Green feed, consisting of second or third i:rop alfalfa or clover, is not only a great conditioner in the fall .but also seems to contain some protein coef- ficent that helps'to give lustre to the plumage. Hens have a high -body temperature and they need their feathers to keep warm particularly in winter time, and warmth is essential to maintain pro- duction. The loss of feathers means higher production costs, and is a menace to health as well. In summer time, full plumage provides effective den, 30, 407 50! Want Normal Pep, Vim, Vigor?
