EDWARDS, Chairman of ■Committee editor of The following is a letter received from Mr. S. F- Gollings who is on a trip to Vimy Ridge with the Cana­ dian Pilgrims: On the Road to Vimy S. S. Duchess of Bedford July 17th, 1936 Dear Editor,— Leaving Exeter early Thursday morning and motoring to London we saw the first wheat cut around Mooresville which looked very good. Leaving London on the noon train we got to Toronto about five and had time to look around as the overseas train, did not leave Toronto until 10,50. When we got to the station there was quite a crowd to see the boys off' and there was quite a noise with the people cheering and a band playing. We got away about 11.21 and there was not much sleep as the boys were singing and discussing old times and some had a drappe for old times sake. But the boys were a well behaved buncih and no one was beyond himself. We arrived In Montreal at seven o’clock and were quickly conveyed from the Windsor station to the S. S. Duchess of Bed­ ford, the fifth ship to leave for France. The Canadian Olympic team is sailing on the same boat. It is a lovely morning and we are now sailing down the St. Lawrence having left Montreal at 10.00 o’clock There is a nice breeze blowing, not too cold or hot.

The pilgrims will have three days in France for a start and all the luggage will be what can be carried in this bag. There was a great crowd at the dock to see the ship off and quite a lot of 'streamers thrown around. All the sirens and whistles blew as we left the dock. It is an. interesting time when the ship is pulled from the dock Iby two little tugs.

Corn and roots, on by. far the great majority of farms, are looking well. There may not be a surplus of water in the stalks, but there is a great deal of real, sunshine-made substance. ******** Just about a year ago farmers were all in the dumps because a serious wind and rain storm had laid their crops flat on the ground. This year, the crops have stood up straight and clean of straw with cool nights, lately, allowing the grain to fill and to ma­ ture in fine shape. We’re going to have a pretty good crop in this section. ********. IN THE LEAD ■ Our big brother Porter throws his hat over The Farmers Ad­ vocate Windmill and chortles: “Hurrah for Ontario! We burn up more 'barns and threshing machines during the harvest season than any other province in Canada or State in the Union. This grand old banner province always heads the list.” * * « * * « * a JUST TOO BAD One of our clergymen the other Sunday spent his valuable half hour in berating the rich men of this country. He 'had a whole lot of statistics that he gave a sweating little group and proved to his satisfaction' that the average man in Ontario is having a mighty hard time of it because a few big fellows are grabbing the .good things. “Well,” commented one member as he got into his car, “It is bad enough for one to be done up by the other fellow, but it makes things all the worse to have it rubbed in by one’s parson. Anyway, the fellows 'he claims are beating us up were not at church and so missed the shower. Our parson missed a fine chance to preach a good, cheery sermon that would fit us for getting on in a world that some of us don’t find none too easy. I think I’ll stay at home till he gets ready to preach the sort of stuff that will stick to my own, personal, ribs.” ******** A REAL DISCOVERY We listened in on a story told by a man who was visiting in this neighborhood. “I have,” said he “been in a district where they have .good schools, good churches, and fine homes. Everybody has a chance to work for fair'wages. There is practically no crime. In­ deed, I met folk there who have lived to be 80 years of age who never were annoyed by anyone. The soil is good. Every year in that locality they have at least a fair crop. The gardens are the very best. There are fine orchards and the best of roads. There are hundreds of merchants who-,give you a square deal. Marketing facilities are first class. The farmers and working people have lots of time for an occasional holiday, while the merchants have time for a couple of weeks in summer cottages. It’s about the best place in the world to live.” “And where is that second edition! of the Garden of Eden?” we inquired. “In and around Exeter!” was the keen reply. We toddled along meanwhile doing some thinking. • ••••**« QUEER Last season' we took a partial holiday accompanied by our trusty bus of 1916 vintage. Our wanderings took us through cer­ tain farm regions where crows were warned to carry lunch baskets. We stopped at the bank in the first village we came to to inquire how things were going. “The very best” replied Many [Shekels. “The farmers in this district will be all right. They’re a fine lot.” “And how are things with you?” we asked a farmer who was hauling what looked to us to be a scanty harvest.” “Couldn’t be better,” came the reply. “This stuff is real good!” And SO' on till we came to the region where every acre of land was not only arable but fertile. ■ “How are things financial in this region?” we inquired of the bank manager. “Pretty blue. Times are hard. Things are not moving as they should!” Merchants and farmers had the same story. Indeed, the deeper we got into tihe land of good soil and fine roads the more complaining we heard. Queer, isn’t it *«***«•» “It’s something awful!” “I think it’s fine!” The first speaker had been all that hot day in a summer resort He had turned to everything he knew of to find relief from the 100- in- the shade temperature. He had lolled, he had read cheap fic­ tion. He had bathed. He had sprawled on the beach. He had absorbed all manner of soft drinks. As evening had come on he had taken to his car and had called on a farmer friend who told him that the day was fine. The young farmer had risen at 4 a.m. eaten a sandwich, drunk a cup of milk, had hoed in, the field till six and had eaten a good breakfast. He had made hay till 11 a.m,. had rested till dinner at 12, had looked after the horses and rested till 2 p.m., had supper at six, milked the cows and taken a bath in the old swimming hole and was reading the paper’ when his friend drove up with his dismal spirit. “And now the movies for me.” said the weary one. “And the hammock for me right out here on the verandah!” said the cheery one. “Everything’s going on fine!” ******** A WISE MOTHER We heard the mother of a large family making a remark that just suited. The drouth was at its busiest. Every time the family gathered about the table remarks were made to the effect that the crops were steadily getting worse, that the apples were drying up, that the potatoes were going to be bad, that tihe horses were sinking under the heat and that everything about the farm was go­ ing steadily to the1 dogs. “I’ve ilieard enough of this!” the mother exclaimed. “You folks are used up with the heat, I know, and things are not doing as well as wo hoped, but they are not as bad as you are making out. We’ll ho all right in this district. We’ll have a very good average season. This calamity howling is not only doing no good but it is doing a lot of harm. Let us talk and think about the good things we have.” That woman is a philosopher, she sees that we can talk our­ selves Into misery, The realizes that we can, by constant tongue­ wagging, bring in misfortune. She knows that persistent blue- goggl e wearing and incessant complaining bring on misery, It is high time, she knows, for Ontario people to got into their heads the fact that we have a 1,000 advantages where scores and scores of places have little but. hunger and thirst ahd scanty clothing and a blue outlook for coming days. Rarely has Old Ontario suffered for want of any good. Somehow, the weather or the time of year, if we have growing children in the family or a man who still has a little boy’s yearning for sweets, we find cake bobbing up in our menu wheth­ er we had planned it or not. A teas­ ing plea from the youngest or a hungry exclamation from the man of the house that he'd like “a good big,piece of cake for a change” ana all our resolve to give our family only light, modern desserts goes by tihe board. But the homemaker is wrong who has a guilty conscience when she serves cake. She will be doing a favor to all who eat her product if she uses a little originality in choosing the cake to serve, for there are many that are tossed together quickly and are light and digestible, as well as inexpensive. Best of all, they are deliciously new in flavour and have enough sophistication that even the ultra-modern hostess can serve cake to her guests without feeling that she has gone gack to the Nineties for hei’ dessert ideas. It is hard to choose from the many new and tempting cake recipes. The two given here fit two separate oc­ casions. The cocoanut krispie is simplicity itself, and ideal to make in the twinkling of an eye for tihe family dinner or for the children when they want something special. Its frosting, if such it can be called, is made deliciously crisp and chewy by a new use of wheat corn flakes. But the recipe that cake’” is that for frosted bars. They look taste even more so. bread bars are ideal for afternoon tea. or bridge parties, as well as be­ ing a wholesome dessert for a child’s party.

Exports of Canadian cattle to the British market and to the United States from January 1, to July 9, 1936, were: to Great Britain 17,603 head, compared with 4,817 for the corresponding period of 1935; to the United States, 159,00.6 head, in­ cluding 33,07 6 calves, in comparis­ on with 84,388 head, including 2,- 107 calves for the corresponding period of 1935. The United States cattle market felt the effect of the drought through the receipt of large numbers of cattle from the strick­ en farms forced into the market. NEWSPRINT AND NEWSPAPERS In (1810 a man could make only a few small sheets of paper a day by hand. In 1845 the best paper-mak­ ing machine available made a ton a day, but today a single Canadian paper-making machine can turn out 200 tons. When • paper was made by hand the largest individual sheets were only about a yard square. A modern Canadian newsprint machine makes a sheet over seventeen feet wide and a mile long in four minute.—half an acre of paper per minute. In 11810 only five hundred tons of paper were made in North Amer­ ica. In 1935 Canada made two and three quarter million' tons of news­ print paper alone and now the world with two-thirds newsprint it uses. When paper was made the printed word was a luxury for the privileged few. With the advent of wood-pulp paper, cheap and wide­ ly distributed books, magazines and newspapers were for the first available to all. Two hundred years ago there only ten newspapers in all the erican Colonies and their distribu­ tion was small. Today newspapers and published at the rate of a copy a day for every family in Canada and the United States.
