foundation principle of the sermon on the mount the globe believes that the dominion and the empire should humbly orust1 fully accept this ultimatum from the lord and turn to ood in prayer for lis

to prayer for the success of the oonterence in view of the farreaching depression and the hsrupoon of trade throughout the empire the cuobe in hearty accord with his expressed hope of he prime minister voices- the suggestion that sunday july atuh just after the empire trade conference opens in ottawa be set aside in all christian churches throughout panada as a day of prayer for the success of tbe con ferenoe the word success should of course be understood as that which ood himself must mean by this word there can be no real temporal economic or financial success without spiritual success prayer tor the one without the other would be empty and useless but if tbe people of canada will come before the lord as the people of nations have done not only hi bitte tunes but during the

before a hay or pasture crop can ever be come widely used he states it must be able to produoe a satisfactory yield of hay or pasture and plenty of good seed it must have good reeding quali ty and be able to resist dlseaw and compete with weeds it must also be winterhardy drought resistant in some areas and able to mature seed in our comparatively short growing season not only do crops differ in these respects but some varieties of the same crop are much more satis factory than others potatoes need spraying orowers are warned to protect their crops of ontario grown new potatoes against late blight recent unusually wet weather has created ideal condi tions for the development of this dis ease trouble however can be avert ed if efnqient spraying practised the ontario potato crop has great

nations they call it s trade wax and its weapons are tariffs and per versions of the tariff one nation listened to tbe ardent wooing or the protectionists another sought a more favorable trade bal ance stlh another dreamed of its selfsufficiency so the thing s in selfdefence other nations followed suit tariff walls rose to duuy heights while behind them the tolling masses tried the experiment of buying and selling at home the results have been tragic especially tragic has been the ex periment in canada where our pros perity is founded on agriculture and export trade trfwdmg the nations hi total trade per capita canada baa watched her volume of trade dwindle and shrink until if a changer is not made we wonder where it is going to end can we wonder that the cana dian farmer is up hi arms when be knows the bulk of that trade was agricultural produce he has been caught in a twoway trap selling m a flooded home market for what his stuff will bring and buying to a pro tected home market at prices which secondary industries are enaham to set the form delegation to ottawa will inform the government of actual eon- ditions and wlh explain that since the farmer is the nations best cus tomer we cannot look lor tbe return of better times until his purchasing power is restored they will point out that agriculture must have wider markets and that the empire conference can provide these markets if it will considering that great britain is the greatest stogie- importing country hi the world and knowing that we must buy from her if we wish to sell to her the delega tion will ask tbaj

than a whole season of hard work- this is not a prattles move tot any respect it is open to rarmpeopto no matter what their pollblcal per suasions because it is felt that she- seriousness of the

themselves and we believe obey will not overlook the opportunity of one thing they may rest assured not asking for any thing they will not get anything other industries are taking no chances and have been pressing their claims for months our sentiments am best expressed in the words of an old ladjn who on hearing or the farmers dele gation exclaimed fervently if they can do anything that might
