Little Nourishment.
The almost complete lack of nour-
ishment in many of the food "sub-
stitutes" now being sold in Germany
is arousing a storm of warning from
German scientists, who declare that
Government supervision of the whole
substitute food trafltc. Is an Immedi-
ate necessity, says rho Associated
Press. Prof. Jackenack, of tho Uni-
versity of Berlin, writing in the Vos-
sisehe Zeitung, says:
"It Is useless any longer to hide,
the truth, finless the Government
actively intervenes to put some con-
trol over the flood of s bstilute foods
with which we are ov rwhelmed, the

of a third of Germany's population.
Moreover, the remaining two-thirds
will be so enfeebled from malnutri-
tion that they will bo unable to per-
form the immense tasks of recupera-
tion and restoration,
"The deVP1 alone knows what are
the ingredients of thousands of these
wretched snbstitutes that. already do
duty for butter and eggs, oil and
milk, flour and spirits, meat and
broth, coffee and sugar, tobacco and
tea, fish and sausage, cheese and
caviar; and so on without end.
"The latest products of the in-
genious substitute -mongers are real-
ly too terrible to be tolerated. A

The experiences of a party of Cana-
dian, "British and American soldiers
during_a trip to Versailles are amus-
ingly recorded by a woman who regu-
larly conducts such parties of sight-
seers. Coming into the grand ball-
room, "of a size and splendor never
equalled in the history of the world,"
a Laconic trooper remarks, "Some
dugout," At the dainty luncheon a
Canuck says that the napkins would
make good souvenirs. "The English,"
he says, jocosely', "fight for honor,
the French for glory, and the Cana -
diens for souvenirs," When the wait-
er presents the bill, p, jolly trooper
glances at It, falls back in his chair,
and screams, "Quick, quick, give me
my gas }Rask!" The young woman
who led the party above referred to is
ingenious in her methods of amusing
the men. In the park at Versailles
she stops and says: "Boy, the French
have a pretty saying, 'The smaller the
ivy leaf, the dearer the love.' So 1
want one of you to find the tiniest
leaf possible and send it to the one
that'd waiting at home," The men set
out to search for the smallest leaf.
"The joker of the party conies to

About the Work That Has Wen
Done to Secure. Ude to Add
Production.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriqulture, Toronto.)
FLAX fibre is absolutely neees-
"sary for the Construction of
aeroptane wings, Yet becae.se
of Russia's defection, Great
Britain bas not now more fibre on
hand than is sufficlent to keep the
mills running ono and a half day a
week, To fuyther complicate matters
the tax seed crop :n Ireland was
pertloy.sly near a failure last year.
These vital facts were disclosed re-
cently at a meeting in Torontq, of
the Agricultural Section of the Or-
ganization of Resources Committee
of Ontario, called to discuss the flax
situation. Evidence was also given re-
garding what Ontario already had
done to relieve the shortage, In 1917
thirty-three flax trills were operated,
6,000 acres were planted and 2,600,-
000 pounds of fibre and 45,000
bushels of seed were produced. Our
fax business Last year bad a total
value of $2,000,000. Moreover, the
seed produced will accomplish a vital
mission abroad, as a large part of It
has been chipped to Ireland to meet
the great seed deficiency there,
8,000 Acres at tweet This rear.
Already flax growers are planning
an 8,000 -acro production, at least,
for this year. Each of the mills are
in the market for all the straw and
seed that can be secured and good
prices are assured the grower. The
arrangements made in the past
have, for the most part, provided for
the leasing of flax land by the earns
at a rental of from $10 to $15 an
sere. The grower ploughed the land,
prepared the seed bed and hauled
the crop to t'be mill—except where
the crop was carried on the railroad.
The mitt operator supplied the seed,
often did the seeding, and harvested
the crop, The flax was pulled by hand
and the workers were housed in the
fields in tents. Their transportation
was paid by the mill company and
they received $15 an acro for pull-
ing, It took a first-class puller throe
lays to finish an acre. As the work-
rs prepared their own meals, the
growers were in no way lneonve.n-
tenecd by having • theta on their
farms.
Flax a Highly Profitable Crop.
While this system is still followed
aImost entirely, farmers may very
rofitably grow flax, doing all the
work and selling the crop outright to
the mills. An acre of good ilex will
reduce some nine boatels of seed
':d two tons of straw. The seed sells
,,w for from $7 to $9 a bushel, while
ee price of straw will be dependent
Spon quality. In case labor condi-
ions prevent the pulling of fax tho
:rop may be harvested with a binder,
Jae seed sold at a remunerative price,
lnd the straw at about ,$15 a ton.
Old sod land is preferred for fax
and any soil which will produce a
good crop of oats will be suitable,
vdireworms and white grubs, so de-
tructive to other crops, will not at-
ack flax. The seed should be plant -
d not later than May 10th' and the
rop is harvested during the middle
of July; thus the soil is left in excel-
ent condition for winter wheat. A

Yheat crop. The fear that flax is
particularly hard on, the land is un-
ounded, as it does not take more
rorn it than any ordinary field crop.
ifteen Thousand Boyle for Ontario
Farms.
In 1916 and 1917 the Department
f Education made regulations which
ermitted students to leave school in
prll, provided that their term's
ork was satisfactory, tor thea pur-
se of engaging in farm work. if
ley spent three months or more on
farm, they were given their school
:ending without passing the custom -
y promotion examinations.
When the students had responded
the Government's appeal and pati
alunteered in thousands for the
ork which they realized to be et
teh°importance, there remained the
roblem of putting each individual
pplicant for work in touch with a
rarer who desired assistance. This
as accomplished through the On.,
rio Government System of Public
mployment Bureau in, cases where
re students were unable to make
teir own arrangements, A minimum
age of $18 per month was set, but
to farmers soon realized the value of
to students' labor, and offered as
gb as $35 per month. The average
ago paid was $18.
Itis expected that 15,000 boys be-
een the ages of 14 and 19 will be
railable this spring for farm work

About the Work That Has Wen
Done to Secure. Ude to Add
Production.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriqulture, Toronto.)
FLAX fibre is absolutely neees-
"sary for the Construction of
aeroptane wings, Yet becae.se
of Russia's defection, Great
Britain bas not now more fibre on
hand than is sufficlent to keep the
mills running ono and a half day a
week, To fuyther complicate matters
the tax seed crop :n Ireland was
pertloy.sly near a failure last year.
These vital facts were disclosed re-
cently at a meeting in Torontq, of
the Agricultural Section of the Or-
ganization of Resources Committee
of Ontario, called to discuss the flax
situation. Evidence was also given re-
garding what Ontario already had
done to relieve the shortage, In 1917
thirty-three flax trills were operated,
6,000 acres were planted and 2,600,-
000 pounds of fibre and 45,000
bushels of seed were produced. Our
fax business Last year bad a total
value of $2,000,000. Moreover, the
seed produced will accomplish a vital
mission abroad, as a large part of It
has been chipped to Ireland to meet
the great seed deficiency there,
8,000 Acres at tweet This rear.
Already flax growers are planning
an 8,000 -acro production, at least,
for this year. Each of the mills are
in the market for all the straw and
seed that can be secured and good
prices are assured the grower. The
arrangements made in the past
have, for the most part, provided for
the leasing of flax land by the earns
at a rental of from $10 to $15 an
sere. The grower ploughed the land,
prepared the seed bed and hauled
the crop to t'be mill—except where
the crop was carried on the railroad.
The mitt operator supplied the seed,
often did the seeding, and harvested
the crop, The flax was pulled by hand
and the workers were housed in the
fields in tents. Their transportation
was paid by the mill company and
they received $15 an acro for pull-
ing, It took a first-class puller throe
lays to finish an acre. As the work-
rs prepared their own meals, the
growers were in no way lneonve.n-
tenecd by having • theta on their
farms.
Flax a Highly Profitable Crop.
While this system is still followed
aImost entirely, farmers may very
rofitably grow flax, doing all the
work and selling the crop outright to
the mills. An acre of good ilex will
reduce some nine boatels of seed
':d two tons of straw. The seed sells
,,w for from $7 to $9 a bushel, while
ee price of straw will be dependent
Spon quality. In case labor condi-
ions prevent the pulling of fax tho
:rop may be harvested with a binder,
Jae seed sold at a remunerative price,
lnd the straw at about ,$15 a ton.
Old sod land is preferred for fax
and any soil which will produce a
good crop of oats will be suitable,
vdireworms and white grubs, so de-
tructive to other crops, will not at-
ack flax. The seed should be plant -
d not later than May 10th' and the
rop is harvested during the middle
of July; thus the soil is left in excel-
ent condition for winter wheat. A

3 sulilcient preparation for the
Yheat crop. The fear that flax is
particularly hard on, the land is un-
ounded, as it does not take more
rorn it than any ordinary field crop.
ifteen Thousand Boyle for Ontario
Farms.
In 1916 and 1917 the Department
f Education made regulations which
ermitted students to leave school in
prll, provided that their term's
ork was satisfactory, tor thea pur-
se of engaging in farm work. if
ley spent three months or more on
farm, they were given their school
:ending without passing the custom -
y promotion examinations.
When the students had responded
the Government's appeal and pati
alunteered in thousands for the
ork which they realized to be et
teh°importance, there remained the
roblem of putting each individual
pplicant for work in touch with a
rarer who desired assistance. This
as accomplished through the On.,
rio Government System of Public
mployment Bureau in, cases where
re students were unable to make
teir own arrangements, A minimum
age of $18 per month was set, but
to farmers soon realized the value of
to students' labor, and offered as
gb as $35 per month. The average
ago paid was $18.
Itis expected that 15,000 boys be-
een the ages of 14 and 19 will be
railable this spring for farm work
