ABOUT WEANINS FOt
Canada has reason to count her blessings in these days of trial.
Canada is three thousand 'miles away from the sound of guns
which are devastating Europe.
The broad Atlantic Ocean rolls between us and the ruthless
savagery of the .German Armies.
The strongest fleets in the world — British, .American and
Canadian—patrol the sea between us and the enemy.
e have a great friendly nation, probably the richest and most
powerful in the world, at our side.
ORD HFR AC
This war is a mechanized war.
We have the nickel ... copper ... lead . , , zinc and other metals
the war industries need. We have access to the iron. We can
make the steel.
'We have the organized industries to fabricate these metals and
make the trucks, and tanks, and guns, and planes, and the ships.
We have skilled workers and the plants for mass production.
Canada has the wheat and the food supplies.
.Let us count our blessings, and tighten our belts,
Canada is rich—one of the richest countries per head of popula•
tion in the world. Let us lend our strength to the utmost of our
power. Our national future depends upon Victory.
We must win to live.
THERE WILL ' E FURTHER CALLS
There have been many calls upon the people of this country
for money since Canada entered the war at the side of
Great Britain.
There " will be further calls.
Let us face the future unafraid.
Canada can carry the load.
But every Canadian must shoulder his and her share.
This is the most critical hour in our history. Let the future
historians say of Canada, as they will say of our Mother Country=
"This was their finest hour."

OF FINANCE, CANADA
Introduced from Europe years ago
it was grown as a cultivated plant for
its roots, which were ground and
m;tied with Toffee, At the present
time it is considered one of our inost
troublesome weeds on road sides,
fence lines, vacant places And occas-
ionally on cultivated fields. It is ens
ily distinguished by its leafless, much
branched stems bearing uninerous
clusters of flower heads (-without
(lower stalks) on the naked branches
One need not expect to be able ,to
control chickory with poor plowing,
followed by a disc harrow or narrow
teeth on the cultivator. All growth is
cut off below the crown when broad
shares which overlap, are used and
by cultivating both ways, a more
thorough job is insured. You can

to the length of the roots, plants can-
not be pulled out. Scattered plants
may be cut out well below the crown
in hot dry weather and a handful of
salt applied to the portion of the
root that remains. For large patches
