Europe, and particularly Britain, will need the following staple foods from Canada more than ever before :-- Wheat, oats, corn, beans, peas. Beef, mutton, bacon and ham. Cheese and butter. Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada Poultry and eggs. Vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, and turnips. The larger the yield of these . staple food products, the greater the service to the Empire. Germany in the last ten years has doubled the average yield of the majority of her field crops largely through better seed, thorough cultivation and use of fertilizer. And while the Empire's armies are busy putting down German Militarism, Militarism, let us at home appropriate the best of Germany's agricul tural methods for the Empire's advantage.
