In the marketing of his produce.
Whilst, for instance, wheat prices at
the Canadian markets are freuuently1
as high as on the American markets,
the farmer in the Prairie Provinces is
able to get his crop to the marketing
points or ship it to the lake terminals
nt a much lower rate than that paid
by his farming brother to the south.
There is another decided advantage
to Canadian farming often overlooked.
Whilst the American farmer coming
to Canada secures a much larger acre-
age than he has left, at a considerably
lower price, he finds the cheaper acre
of. Canadian land capable of greater
production than his former high-
priced land. Even in comparison with
the small ,aims of the British Isles,
where farming activities are prose-
cuted so intensively, the Canadian
yields on farms, many times their size,
compare very favorably.
To consider wheat first. The quality
of the Canadian product cannot -be
gainsaid when year after year it se.
cures the world's premier honors and
millers all over the world demand it.
The average production of fall wheat
in Canada for the last ten years has
been 23 bushels to the acre and of
spring wheat 15.50 bushels to the acre,
In the United States, where farming
operations are carried out on a very

production has been 24.75 bushels per
acre. Against this the United States,
in the four-year period under review,
produced an average of 24.23 bushels
per acre, per year, and England and
Wales 32.Q4. The same six European
countries outclassed the Dominion in
the average production of barley.
Against a United States average
rye production of 13.75 bushels per
acre in the period 1916-20 Canada has
a ten-year average for this crop of
15.75 bushels, and only seven coun-
tries have a higher average yield and
that on relatively small acreages.
The additional profits, farm book-
keeping will show, when low-priced
purchased farm lands outyiold those
previously held at high figures, are
immediately evident, for there are
few, if any, disadvantages to counter-
balance this consideration, And when
it is borne in mind that above all this,
low-priced Canadian lands can be se-
cured on a scheme spreading the pay-
ments over a period 9S extensive as
thirty-four years, the advantages be-
come overwhelming., and Canada can
rest assured and confident that no
other country can exceed so many or
attractive inducements to intending-
agriculturists.
Dairying at the Antipodes.
A noticeable feature of the recent
visit of the Dominion Dairy and Cold
Storage Commissioner and the Man-
ager of the Saskatchewan Co-operative
Creameries to New Zealand and Aus-
tralia, as recorded in a bulletin, just
published by the Department of Agri-
culture at Ottawa, is .the uniform
courtesy and willingness with which
they were received, not only by dairy
officials but at the many cheese and
butter factories, grading stores, deal-
ers' warehouses, and farms that were
Inspected. Although they were there
to spy out the land, as it were, to ob- s
'serve the methods followed by Can-
ada's keenest rivals in the exportation
of dairy- products, they were every- c
where cordially welcomed and given c
every facility to satisfactorily fulfil t
their mission, One reason probably
was that the Dominion Commissioner I
was to some extent visiting old friends,
Mr. Ruddick having formerly occupied
a similar position 'in New Zealand.

children and I have invariably found
that a word of praise will bring out
the best that is in them and induce
themto greater efforts. Why not let
them have this little word? It costs
us nothing-.
In' looking over a child's work, why
not notice thegood qualities about it,
as wellas the had? For instance, that
mother might have said: "How well
you have done the pansy bed. It's
hot now. Suppose you rest, and finish
the other part later on." The boy
would have welcomed the word of
praise, especially in front of a stran-
ger and be would have worked twice
as hard in the cool of the evening,
until the rest of the garden was as
good tis the first part.
In his own home, a boy is often set
to work with no word of encourage-
ment and nothing to reduce the drud-
gery of his.homo tasks.:
Even filling the wood box, the boy's
daily job, could be made less irksome.
A boy often•,says, "I'm forever filling
that box," but a mother, could change
his point of view and make it a pleas-
ant job if she made the boy realize
that she needed the wood .to cook good
things for him.
I do not believe in paying a child
for every bit of work he does, because
he must bear his shxiee in the house-
hold; but I believe the kind word of
appreciation should be given more
often than it is. A word is not much.
We do not have to open our purses to
give it. Why then are mothers so
chary ofthis little Word of praise
when it brings such good results?

MALNUTRITION
Some time ago I wrote a story about
providing lunches for. the children at-
tending rural schools, ` In general the
comment has been very favorable, but
there have been some who have felt
that the movement is a "fad" and quite
unnecessary, a thing' that is the busi
Hass of the parents and of no one else.
I must insist, however, that the ques-
tion whether children are or are not
well nourished is the business of all
the taxpayers who are obliged to sup-
port the schools, because it is a well
established fact that the poorly nour-
ished child does not do well in school
and is. either obliged to repeat" in
many of his classes or else holds back
the average of his class.
Another important feature that
serves to make it the business of every
parent is that the malnourished child
is a great focus for the spread of con-
tagious disease. Dr. Holt, the eminent
authority on diseases of children,
says, "The undernourished child takes
everything." Measles, scarlet fever,
and tuberculosis make their mo
deadly inroads among children w
vitality is below normal. Malnut
in itself, seldom causes death, b
providing an open door to the dm
diseases that are most terrible
children, it has no equal.
Malnutrition may be a cause of poor
teeth and other defects, and on the
other hand, it may be caused by these
physical errors. In the first case the
inadequate supply of mineral sub-
stances deprives the bones and the
teeth of that which they need for
proper ,development. In the second,
the poisonous effects of bad teeth, die
eased tonsils or other defects of the
body interfere' so seriously with diges
tion and assimilation of food that no
matter what the diet, the child re-
mains undernourished.
When a child remains poor and
skinny in spite of every effort at prop-
er feeding he should be given the at-
tention of someone capable of making
a thorough physical examination. De-
cayed teeth,• diseased tonsils, catarrhal
infections or other conditions may be
found to exist, Once they are remov-
ed
emov
ed the improvement of the child in
every way, meeting with`no further
handicaps, will be remarkable•—Dr.
C. H. Lerrigo.
