For the duration of the War, we .innst give way to Music that will arouse the Nation to the Unity of Spirit, necessary to Victory. Our musical diet-in peace time con- sisted of the Music of Nature, the birds, trees, sky, flowers and mount- airs, We have been raised on a peace-time diet, While we • were teaching our youth to play and sing cowboy songs, hill-billy tunes, 'spirit- uals,. and the youth - of our land was dancing to the music of the' Jute Box, the musical diet of our enemies con- sisted of an entirely different natnre. Their music was for marching sold- iers, preparing them for the present conflict. While we were playing and singing the music of • peace, our en- emies were developing through music, a military attitude among all their people, We, -who are responsible for the part Music is to play' in bringing Victory, must see that the people of our Country become Singing Citizens. Without excluding Music of pre-war programs, we must emphasizeMusic . of a patriotic flavor.. • We do not at present have a suffic- ient amount of Community Singing, Music as no other force, can develop Unity, Morale and Spirit. • It means that. through this way our people acquire the 'sense that this is their War—that they belong to our Nation's fighting forces and that the Spirit and Will to win will bring final Victory. Music is:the perfect medium for this and it is for Us to, accept the challenge. Up to the present time we have fail- ed to' show sufficient enthusiasm in the type of music just mentioned, In practically every Comniunity in this Country of ours we find the lack of School and Municipal Bands. We should encourage Cominurtity • Sing- ing, the formation of choruses; bands and orchestras for good music. Nosh; ing .else we' can do will prove more effective in building and maintaining civilian. morale: One of the great contributions 'of. music to civilian morale has come through the use - of Music in Industry. It has been proven that music of the right type, stimulates the workers to perform their tasks in the proper Spirit. Inwhatever way' Music is used, it will lift the spirit of the people to sound Ideals,. and a certain- tendency . to strengthen our morale and Unity, and form a great influence on all man- kind to tome.. • . The following words, I think, will give us food for thought: "How many of us, ever stop to think of Music Asa wondrous magic link with God; Taking sometimes the place of prayer When words have failed us'neath ' the weight of tare? •' Music knows no Country, Race or Creed 'But gives to each, according to his need. • Soybean As Forage, And Soil Improvement Cron (Experimental Farms News) The soybean has become widely BUTTER CONSUMPTION.

Music is one of Man's closest bonds with God, There are moments when ,we do not ,want to dispute doctrines, and thee music raises ni to that level of understanding which strengthens our faith and lightens our souls. Men of different Creeds turn to music to express their spiritual life --whether it be a gong in a Chinese Temple, the tambotirine of a „Salvation Army Lassie or a Grand Organ in a Cathedral, There should never be any question as to the place of Music in the Church, Its place is to amplify the service of God, not to dominate, it: One groat Man exclaimed, "Some to Church re- pair, not for the Doctrine, but the Music there," The Service that Music can render today lies among several channels in reaching the people. One of the greatest is the Radio which has added, to the Musical life, °A very short time ago, many towns amind cities, es- pecially the Rural sections of the Country, did not have 'the privelege of hearing all the greatest Musical Art- ists. To-day, :however, there is not a single place which cannot hear MUSic any hour or the day or might. llOW with this oppottunityi we must bacteria a large:. propOrtion of the nitrogen contained in the crop will come from the air, thus relieving the drain upon soil reserves. When the mature seed is harvested with a com- bine, only the seed is removed and the remainder of the plant is left well dis7 tniihuted for ploughing. Even though the seed is removed, it will still be found necessary to aps ply other fertilizers, such as phosphor is acid and potash, in order to main- tain the soil fertility level,. In general, the. soybean may be re-, garded as a very useful crop from the standpoint of supplementary and em- ergency hay or pasture. Helpful ef- fects upon the soil will' also result from growing this crop, Wingham Advance-Times.

This does not imply that soybeans will compete with perennial crops such as alfalfa, but in cases where such crops have been winter killed, a spring seedling of soy- beans will provide a good emergency supply of feed. Cut in the stage when the pods- are about two-thirds filled, soybean hay is about equal to alfalfa in feed value, although the actual cur- ing may be slightly-more difficult. The soybean crop may also be used for Pasture, -provided the ordinary pre- cautions to prevent bloating are ob- served. - As a soil improvement crop, the soybean has certain definite qualities, As it is a legume, it has the ability to. utilize free atmospheric nitrogen pro- `tided the proper tu -Me-forming bac- teria are present, in the soil.
