How can AN ELECTION IN THE NICK OF TIME it in this case be said that the coesum- t er pays the duty? It scales out of the tLondon Advertiser,) pockets of the Canadian farmers," Sir Wilfrid Laurier gives the reason Ultimately, of course, the duty was fcr holding the election right on the paid in whole or in part l,v the Ameri- beels of the harvest..

The boon is worth more ly profit, The present American duty. Shan redistribution this year. The west could have had both but for the Op- position. q Opponents of reciprocity seek not only to deny these benefits to the Can- adian farmers, but to deny their exis- tence. With the market quotations Istaring them in the face they stolidly assert that Canada will be deluged with icheaper American foodstuffs. Not long ago the same oracles were telling the city -dwellers that the cost of living would be raised by the drain of Can- adian foodstuffs to the American mar- ket. The effect upon the housewife's budget would be more calculable if peo- spie ate wheat, oats, barley, and live animals, direct off the farm. These are consumed in prepared forms -as flour, oatmeal, beef, mutton, etc. - rafter passing through the hands of middlemen. The reciprocity agree- ment will give the Canadian farmer a larger and therefore a steadier maket, in which there will be no gluts due to the limitations of the Canadian • market. It will diminish also the power of middlemen in both countries to control supplies, and therefore, prices of pre- pared food products. It will work to {the advantage of both consumer and !producer, The United States' sales to Canada are $280,000,000 yearly. Canada's ex- ports to the United States are only $100,000,000 a year. The very politi- cians who are opposing reciprocity call this an "unfavorable" balance of trade. Some of them, like the member for London, would try to equalize this by producing the volume of imports. Others, including all Mr Borden's sup- porters from the prairie provinces, ,would increase the imports by reduc- ing the duties, and further swell the balance against Canada. Isn't it ex- traordinary that all of them oppose an increase of Canadian sales to the United States? Reciprocity would go a long way toward restoring the equil- ibrium of trade between the two coun- tries. But not the Canadian farmer must not be allowed to ship more sheep, pigs, horses, cattle, grain, hay, !cheese and butter across the line lest 1ihe should sell his allegiance at the same time! These weird economics will be as little appreciated by the average Canadian farmer as an insult to his loyalty. THEN AND NOW. While our Tory brethren are travers- ng the land denouncing reciprocity, the farmers of Ontario; as welt as the Western settlers and the fishermen of Nova Scotia, are passing resolutions to the effect that they are extremely well satisfied with the Fielding agreement. How could it be otherwise? Both poli- tical parties in Canada have, until noir cordially recognized that the free ad- mission of our raw products into the United States market would be a boon of extraordinary value, Sir John Mac- donald used to illustrate the situation Chafed and Aching Feet Make walking a miter do not know f Or. to basewho 's Ointment. How €0-r can you walk without stir - feriae, in one wo: or another frbru discomfort to your Mete Moller.' footwear is a prison house is 30 cents a bushel. With Sir John, in fact, at one time reciprocity was the be-all and end-all of the N. P. In an amendment he sub- mitted, when in Opposition, to the Lib- eral budget of 1878 (date above) he declared that his policy, "moving, as it ought to do, in the direction of a reciprocity of tariffs with our neigh- bors, so far as the varied interests of Canada may demand, will greatly tend to procure for this country, eventually, a reciprocity of trade." And so when, as Prime Minister, Sir John passed the N, P. in 1879, it contained the follow- ing proviso, which was kept standing for years: "Any or all of the following articles, that is to Say, animals of all kinds, green fruit, hay, straw,, bran, seeds of all kinds, vegetables, including potatoes and other roots, plants, trees and shrubs, coal and coke, salt, hops, wheat, peas and beans, barley, rye, oats, Indian corn, buckwheat, and all other grains, flour of wheat and flour of rice, Indian meal and oatmeal and flour meal of any other grain, butter, tallow, meats, fresh, salt or smoited, and lumber, may be imported into Can- ada free of duty or at a less rate of duty than is provided by this Act upon proclamation of the Goveror-in-Council, which may be issued whenever it ap- pears to his satisfaction that similar articles from Canada may be imported into the United States free of duty or at a rate of duty not exdeeding that payable on the same under such procla- mation when imported into Canada." This was if anything a wider meas- ure of proffered reciprocity than that which the Laurier Government has just negotiated. The principle difference between the two eases, and it is a vital one, is that whereas Sir John Macdon- ald and the Conservatives of 1879, and afterwards,' supposed that they could best obtain reciprocity of trade by re- sorting to tariffs -a figure of speech for high Canadian duties Mr, Fielding has obtained the present reciprocity; not only without increasing the Canad- ian tariff, but actually through lower- ing it on such articles of importance to the Canadian farmer as implements and wagons and giving the Ontario manufacturer cheaper•coal. If Sir John could preach and strive for reciprocity in natural products as he did. and still be an orthodox Imper- ialist, how can any reasonable Conser- vative affirm or believe that Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Fielding are traitors? IN CANADA'S FAVOR. "Figures cannot Iie" is a proverb which has long ago been proven to be false, or at least the application of figures may be made to lie, and there is the usual twisting of figures in re- gard to reciprocity. This fact remains., however, that Canada on the aggre- gate will remit scarcely more than half the duties which the United States will do. The total amount to be remitted by the United States is $4,850,000. The total amount to be remitted by Canada is $2,560,000. These sums are made up as follows: The amount of duty to be remitted by the United States on Canadian an articles: Sawed lumber, $1,292,000; fish, $164,- 000; hay,S386 000^ flaxseed and linseed, $352,000; wood pulp, $808,000; live ani - mats, $276,000; vegetables, $257,000; and the rest -:t is chafed, scalded, in- E printing paper, $165,000; oats' $142,000; flamed feet. mica, $1.10,000; dairy products, $105,000; You can get a world of comfort by I gypsum, $101,000; railroad ties, tele- using i) r.

Vocational training is enlisting as never before the interest and effort of business men and educators in several western states. ,For two years cep, tatn bankers in Minnesota have pro- moted it very actively, their commer- dal interest in farm properties and people leading them to do so. They have found that of 435,000 schoolchil- dren, educated at a cost of $14,000,000 - annually, fewer than 1,800 attend agri- cultural schools. In a state which has only one-third of the tillable land Rlthin Sts 84,000 square miles under cultivation over 90 per cent of the children are being trained to be con- sumers and only tour -tenths of 1 per cent to be producers. The present school system. even in the country. was thus found to be educating chil- dren away from the farms, "spoiling good farmers and not making good. city men." The bankers offered prizes for the best answer to the question, Why am 1 going to leave the farm? The boy irbo won first prize laid stress on the' tact that "most of the `schoolmarms" are town - girls or girls from town schools and don't like country life. Their attitude helps to sow diahatie- taction among the pupils." -Survey: The Food That Plants Want There are ten essential elements of plant food. Nine ,of these are pro- vided by nature In abundance-vlu, carbon and oxygen, secured by the growing plant directly from the air, hydrogen from water absorbed bythe earth, iron and sulphur supplied by the soil. The remaining five elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, mag- nesium and calcium. The supply and liberation of these Live constitute the foundation of permanent - agriculture. on all cultivatable soils in halnld sec- tions. Nitrogen exists in the air in absolutely inexhaustible amount, and for general farming can be secured from the air most economically by the growing of legume crops. If these crops are plowed under, nitrogen is thus increased and addi- tional organic matter supplied, which, as it decays in the soil, helps to liber; ate or make avallable the other four' important elements.
