MOVING DAY
Such strangely shrouded chests
and chairs:
Our goods 'piled high before the
door!
Behind us, lonely vacant room,
Deserted hearth and echoing floor;
And then, at last, the lumbering van
Is anything forgotten? No.
One farewellglance ate all we've
known,. e
A, turning key, and off we got
So much for moving, out. Next comes
The thrill of unfamiliar things:
New fires to kindle, stairs to climb,
" (:rhe unknown vieweach window
brings;
Fresh frilly curtain lengths to hang,
•Cup'boards to deek with china
bright,
Chairs to arrange and re -arrange,
Strange Sleeping -rooms to seek at
night;
The lovely ee-discovering
Of books and pictures known too
!well;
The joy of finding things forgot,
Like genie re -set, no tongue can
tell.
I sometimes think '`would do us good
To give our souls a•" moving day,
To let them look on, happier scenes,
To throw all fear and hate away;
To re-discoverwell-loved friends
,Neglected in our hurried life;
To re -arrange our thoughts and hopes
And cleanse them from all petty
etrifei;
To light new fires of love and faith,
Our broken resolutions mend,
And to our fellow' pilgrims bet
,Fore'er the same unaltering friend.
$ay we move on, undaunted, till
That final moving day when we
At last forsake the homes of earth
For mansions of eternity.

Dr. G. I. Christie, president of
the Ontario Agr!,eultural College, in a
recent address said that the recent
gloomy talk about the price of west-
ern tvheat,was a minor concern to -On-

Yet come when the acreage of any
crop can be regulated and an assur-
ance given of highly remunerative
prices. The element of eliance must
be' reckoned with in farming as on
tate stock exchange. Were it possible
to fix tris price of wheat at cost of
production plus twenty per cent.,
there would bo a tush to grain grow-
ing with a resultant surplus in a few
years that the world could not use.
Stresses Home Markets
In kis first public statement, Mr.
Jas. B. Fairbairn, newly appointed
Deputy Minister of Agriculture, gives
expression to the following views:
"b11y thought is that we should
stress Ontario products, We should
try to create in the minds of all
housewives the desire to purchase
Ontario products. We should also
educate the dealer. We need the co-
operation of city people, the manu-
facturers Associa'iins, Chinnbers of
domntenee and servsi le clubsj, 'W'e ;
have to stress before these bodies
the fact that in order to bring about
a 'reorganization of methods, we have
to encourage then` to think of Ontario
products, Illy main thought is go-
ing to he to stress the purchase of
'Ontario farm produce. I. want to
stabilize the home markets for the
Ontario producer. We have the very
best quality of fruits and vegetables
that can be produced anywhere, .
Current Crop•lteport
Niany fields of fall wheat are be-
ing 'plowed up in Brant, according to
a recent ,crop bulletin issued by the
department, Sufficient hay to carry
all stock to grass is !indicated in
Bruce. In Dundas American buyers
have been active and a 'number of
grade cows leave been sold for. from
$85 to $100. The top bull at a sale
in Carleton brought a price of $225,
while 250' stocker cattle were sold at
the same sale. A. large acreage of
potatoes has been set out in Elgin. .
Cold weather has effected little in-
e jury in Essex county except in Tob-
acco plants, .some of which are froz-
en. A poor growth of fall wheat and
meadows in Haldimand hasresulted
in the plowing up of several- fields.
Many clover and fall wheat fields in
Middlesex' are said to be practically
worthless..

The Apple and the Orange,
In a season when apples are ab-
undant and prices are low it might be"
thought that sales would increase
and that this fruit would take its
rightful place on the market, The
Orange and grapefruit, which are
rivals of the apple, are this year
scarce and comparatively high, priced
yet the importations are heavy and
they are prominently displayed in
shop windows. Does the popular
