Harvesting operations are drawing to a close earlier than history has any record of, but the spring crop is going to be short of the expecta- tions of a month ago, and the thresh- ing seagim will be short on account of the short crop of straw. It looks like tile bumper crop of hay may be wird before next spring. Welisar GO much of late about curtailing production, as if the Gov- ernment could control the elements. It can't be done except by the Crd- atoe of the earth. We can sow, but we can't tell what we can reap and when we have full and plenty we should put away a reserve for leaner years that may come.

CONFERENCE While the world coniMence has recee;led, proibably for goodl, after travelling around in a vicious circle of negation, President Roosevelt, 'across the line, proceeds with his plan of industrial recovery. The bold experiment attracts probably as much interest in Canada as it does in the States, though, officially, the govern - merit here is careful to abstain from comment. There is every admission that the objective to be attained is desirable and the motive honest and sincere, but Some of the methods of going about it are comtmonly con- sidered questionable. As write ex- perienced Canadians see it, certain phases of the plan, such as bol agricultural products, are bound to result in lass but, generally. there is admiration for the President's courageous leadership and the un- orthodox plans to which he has re- sorted. May Follow Roosevelt Plan. Particularly since the world con- ference has blown up, nothing' is more certain than that, if the Roosevelt scheme succeeds, even in part, there will be a demand that the Canadian govern/I:lent emulate the example. Conditions are inev itably .different when one country is very large and another very small, on the basis bf comparative popula- tion, but already the papers are SaY- ing that what is good for the States Should he good' for Canada'.Com- parative identity of interest and comparatively common problems are not effaced by mere lines of phys- ical ho.unclary. Moreover, it is re- called that in London, the Can ian premier, Mr. Bennett, made col -mop cause with the United .Stettes- dele- gation', for which he has got much praise from the American press and public men. As a matter of fact, though the conference didn't get anywhere, even the opponents Of the prime minister concede that his. part was so conspicuous as to en- large his personal status. How much good this will do politically may be a question. Apart from that there may be the reasonable inference that if abroad Mr. Bennett was abl'e to see eye to eye with the United States delegation, he and his government, to a limited degree, consistent with dif- fzrent conditions,, may be, constrained to adopt some similar economic pol- icy- for 'Canada..

't Both teams played smart football, eithifbriting fins combination and 'backing it up with strong de- fensive -work. With about five min- utes to go before half time, Lorne Steiss scored for the lnal team with a neat header as theeesult of a cor- ner kick. The szeorlgoal was scor- ed a few minutes later by Clarence Steiss on a pass from Lorne Steiss. The closing period was scoreless, al- though on many nem:skins several of the players on both teams almost succeeded in scoring and had it not been for the stellar work of the two goalies the score would have been mach higher.

CONFERENCE While the world coniMence has recee;led, proibably for goodl, after travelling around in a vicious circle of negation, President Roosevelt, 'across the line, proceeds with his plan of industrial recovery. The bold experiment attracts probably as much interest in Canada as it does in the States, though, officially, the govern - merit here is careful to abstain from comment. There is every admission that the objective to be attained is desirable and the motive honest and sincere, but Some of the methods of going about it are comtmonly con- sidered questionable. As write ex- perienced Canadians see it, certain phases of the plan, such as bol agricultural products, are bound to result in lass but, generally. there is admiration for the President's courageous leadership and the un- orthodox plans to which he has re- sorted. May Follow Roosevelt Plan. Particularly since the world con- ference has blown up, nothing' is more certain than that, if the Roosevelt scheme succeeds, even in part, there will be a demand that the Canadian govern/I:lent emulate the example. Conditions are inev itably .different when one country is very large and another very small, on the basis bf comparative popula- tion, but already the papers are SaY- ing that what is good for the States Should he good' for Canada'.Com- parative identity of interest and comparatively common problems are not effaced by mere lines of phys- ical ho.unclary. Moreover, it is re- called that in London, the Can ian premier, Mr. Bennett, made col -mop cause with the United .Stettes- dele- gation', for which he has got much praise from the American press and public men. As a matter of fact, though the conference didn't get anywhere, even the opponents Of the prime minister concede that his. part was so conspicuous as to en- large his personal status. How much good this will do politically may be a question. Apart from that there may be the reasonable inference that if abroad Mr. Bennett was abl'e to see eye to eye with the United States delegation, he and his government, to a limited degree, consistent with dif- fzrent conditions,, may be, constrained to adopt some similar economic pol- icy- for 'Canada..
