1• Two years ago in a message to the
people a Canada special emphasis
Was laid on the important part food pro
ldnction and distribution would play in
this world war. It was pointed out
that the drafting of twenty millions
of men into European battlefields and
the destructive process of war itself
must inevitably be followed by dimin-
ished production and enhanced cost
of food. Today Roumania, Poland, Bel-
gium are conspicuous and tragic ex-
amples of what these things mean. The
German food ration is now half the
normal; requirement and under the
steady pressure of British sea power
the ,Hun is daily tightening his belt.
But though the great stress is on the
identral powers, other natioris are feel-
ing the strain. The smaller neutral
countries are confronted with food
shortage and high prices. Switzerland
and Holland, in arms for deferice,feed
from their own scanty supply thous-
and of refugees who, homeless and
destitute, have tied thither for sand -
vary, England, menaced by an over -
increasing submarine warfare, is or-
ganizing her agriculture on a new
basis, enlisting for her farms the ser-
vices of women and disabled soldiers,
and putting her beautiful Ind. historic'
parks under :the plough. France sows
her grain and reaps her harvest, even
within sound of the guns, by the heroic
and unceasing labour of her oldmen
and women and children. '
Such is the picture of Europe at
this hour. Facing the fateful days
which lie before us in this third and
sternest ,year of the war we realize
with increasing clearness how vital a
factor in the final decision the food
supply must be. The Government of
this country fully appreciateswhat
the farmers have done during the past
two years. In urging them to main-
tain their efforts, though confronted
with more difficult conditions, it is
done, not because of the high prices
which will doubtless hold for nearly.all
food products, but because of the un-.
portant and special service -which Can-
adian agriculture can render the Em-
pire at this juncture. All who assist
in this work render a great service
to the State—but not the greatest—
for that is done by those who, facing
death, daily serve their country at
the battle front. Thousands-- ofuscan-
not so serve, but we, who are merciful-
ly free nem the iron heel of the invad-
er—we who know nothingof the ter-
rors by sea and the privations on
land which others suffer, may well re-
double our efforts to supply what they
may sorely need.
A special appeal is made in this
critical year to those in our cities and
towfs who hither to have not felt the
necessity for directing their energies
to food production. Individual efforts,
even though small e and unskilled, will
in the aggregate mean much. By ap-
plying their labor to uncultivated- land
near their homes or by assisting faro
miters, everybody having health can
accomplish something. There is need
not only for an increased supply but
for a wise ecenomy of food. If all
labour is not efficient there can at
least be patience and forbearance
where partial efficiency is accompani-
ed by willingness. There" is, no place
in the State now for either half-heart-
ed service or ill-founded criticism. In
the common task which faces the coun-
try cooperation should be the watch-
word. It is confidently expected
that the various organizations both
of men and women throughout the
country will give whole -hearted and
active support TO a work which at this
special time is a high and necessary
national service. •

:
Dear Expositor—I hope this letter
will be interesting to your many read-
ers, as I was born in good old Huron
County a few miles from Seaforth
land have written you several times.
Mr. Rice and I are spending another
winter in the "Sunny CSouth", we
like St' Petersburg, the best of any
place in which we have spent the win-
ter. There is the right combination
of land and water; at Palm Beach the
sea predominates; here are most in-
viting trips and 'scenes inland. The
weather has been delightful all winter
until February 2rid, whe had eight de-
grees of frost, the coldest it has been
here in the last fifteen years,and
has ruined all the beautiful flowers and
vines, as well as the vegetable gar-
dens. The Citrus friut has not been
injured to any extent, but the average
temperature is 65 and often reaches
80 at noontime. It is not as hot as
Jamaica where Mr. Rice and I spent
a winter, but warmer than Bermuda
and most of the resorts in California.
The sun shines almost without inter-
ruption in fact this place is called the
"Sunshine City." The editor of the
evening paper here has kept for six
years a standing -offer, to give free the
entire edition of his paper on any ev-
ening when the sun has not shone
clearly at some time during the day.
He had to give only four editions last
winter and has given only one so far
this year. No wonder there are over
30,000 visitors here at present, and
500 of those are Canadians. The
hotels are all crowded and the Mayor
has asked the residents to open up
their private homes to accommodate
the visitors. The Canadians have got
the city interested in bowling and it is
being played here for the first time
in Flerida. , They do not bowl on the
green as in our cities, but on a marl
court, as the grass is too coarse here
to make a good bowling lawn. They
also play rogue in the parks, have a
dozen courts, and pitch horseshoes and
quoits. A great many come here for
the fishing, tarpon are not taken until
April, but just now Idngfish, mackerel,
sea trout, bonita, grouper, pompons,
are caught in the nearby waters, the
trout taken on fly -rod, is about as
game here as in the north, the grouper
is heavy and slow something like a
cod -fish and pulls like a stone. A
pleasure pier extends nearly a mile
out into Tampa Bay, and early in the
morning it is guite lined with fishing
rods. The pelicans which are a large
sea bird, are numerous and it is fun
to see them diving for their dinner.
Their crop is a wonderfully designed

PROFITABLE BEEF PRODUCTION.
At the Experimental Farm at Nap -
pan, N.S. a number of tests have
been carried on in feeding and finish-
ing steers for the market. During the
last three years tests have been. car-
ried on in feeding good butchers, heavy
fed, versus good butchers, light fed;
good stockers, heavy fed, versus good
stockers, light fed;; goad butchers,
heavy fed, versus good stockers, heav
fed; good butchers, light fed, versus
good stockers, light fed; good butchers
and good stockers, light fed; and good
butchers and good stockers, heavy fed,
receiving two pounds molasses in ad-
dition to their regular meal ration,
versus good butchers and good stock-
ers, heavy fed, no molases; and good
butchers and good stockers, light fed,
receiving two poundsemolasses in addi-
tion to their regular meal ration ver-
sus good butchers and good stockers,
light fed, no molasses.
The results of the first test, that
is, good 'butchers, heavy fed, versus
good butchers, light fed, are as fol-
lows: Eight steers were selected in
such a condition that they could be
classed as good butchers. These were
dehorried and fed a preparatory ra-
tion to get them accustomed to their
feed and surroundings; then divided
into two lots of four each. The four
heavy fed received 50- per cent. more
roots and meal than did the light fed.
Number of days fed, 93; total live
weight at beginning for Lot 1, heavy
fed, 4 '478 pounds; at finish, 5355, an
increase of 877 pounds. For Lot 2,
light fed, 4,418 pounds at beginning;
at finish, 5,135, an increase of 717 lbs.
The original purchase price was 614
cents per pound, live weight. The sell-
ing price was 8.1 cents per pound, live
weight, The gross profit for lot 1 was
$153.88; for Lot 2, $139.81. The total
cost of feed per period was, for Lot
1, $99,16; for Lot 2, $75.29, leaving
a net profit in the first instance of
$54.72, or a profit per steer of $13.-
68. In the second 64.52, os a profit per
steer of $16.13. The average profit per
steer, for three years, over and above
the actual cost of feed at market
isrices was for Lot 1, 418.38; for Lot
2, $22.39. 'The cost to produce one
pound of grain was 10.33 cents for Lot
1 and 8.64 cents per pound for Lot
2. The ration fed to Lot 1 at the be-
ginning was 60 pounds roots, 6 pounds
meal, and one pound molasses,. at the
finish 45 lbs. roots, 16.5 pounds meal
and 2 pounds molasses. Lot 2 received,
at the beginning, 40 pounds roots, 4
pounds meal, and one pound molasses;
at the finish 30 pounds roots, 11 pounds
meal and 2 pounds molasses.

songs were sung and the many friends
