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 end of the war. will lso see the end of a third of Germany's population.

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.

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 me wfth n. perfectly enormous leaf, which he Wallas me he has. plucked for his mothe:.,ill-low!"

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.

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.
