iis As Friend to Friend 'The big facts about roads are rapidly sinking into the minds of all Canadians. a farmer to 'motorist--{rom city-dweller to country- , man--the propaganda for good roads is fast spreading. Th® one tells the 'other--as friend to friend--how serious is Canada's need of Permanent Highways of Concrete Thus will surely come to us ere long the solution of one of our biggest national problems. With realization of the fact that Concrete alone can make a real road, comes the much-needed awakening from the slothful habit .which permits dependence on the constant- repairing of the old-style road. Some day we will refuse to have roads built of any pavement less permanent than Concrete. Then and then only will we have dust-proof, rut-proof, waste- proof roads. How long it will take to accomplish this, depends on how rapidly the true-road knowled: spreads.

Suiting Production to Natural Condi- tions--District Representative of Department of Agriculture Who | Has Courage of His Teaching-- Pioneer Work of Farm Organiza- tion, Toromto (lobe Prince Edward, the "Island Coun- ty" of Ontario, is not favored above all other parts of the province in na- | tural advantages. In some respects, indeed, nature has been unkind in| this case In a considerable part of the county the soil forms but a thin covering over the "limestone base on. which it rests, and there are marshy areas firound the shores of bays d inland lakes by which the land ace is broken, But Prind® Edward has a charm peculiarly its own: There is not a | straight roag in.the county---at least | if there.is 'one I' have newer been able to find it; the roadways, and they are good one, wind around hills, through valleys, by the side of waters shining like Silver in the spring sunshine; and at every turn a new scene of beauty gladdens the spectator Hill tops are covered with natural wood growth; orchards are everywhere; each home seems to have an individuality of its own, | and the most has been made of the abundant opportunities for artistic effect in the selection of sites aver- looking rippling waters and shelter- | ed by the forest growth on neigh boring hill tops. There is, too, in houses, outbuildings, stock and well kept orchards an_ appearance of thrift and content everywhere. And the prosperity of Prince Edward rests on solid foundation®--dairy- ing, canning crops and apple or- chards. In natural beauty and in its homes Prince Edward holds a foremost place in the Premier Pro [ie onfederation. Farming by Sections. Somewhat slowly, but none less surely, Ontario farmers are coming to recognize the fact that different sections of the province | are adapted to different lines of pro- duction. A case in point is found in the strip, of which Brighton is the | centre, on the front of Northumber- land, with Lake Ontagio on the one side and the sheltering hills which once formed the lake shore line on the other This area is exception- ally well endowed with the requi- sites essential to the production of high-class apples The trees thrive there even on the lightest soils, and a peculiar richness in coloring is chtained on the fruit. And people living in that section have shown that they appreciate the advantages of their situation by planting very large! yin orchards. It is probable there are more apple trees in this strip than are to be found in any like area in Ontario. Even in this comparatively limit- ed section there are much smaller | areas, a few acres in each, which | have their own special advantages, and advantages which are being utilized. One man with a piece of | ground exceptionally suited .to the | growth of blackberries, and another with a natura] celery bed, are mak- ing the incomes of good hundred- acre farms from holdings one could throw a stone across. the | Winter Beef--Summer Apples. Speaking again of this Northum- berland apple area, another thought comes to mind. The soil on which the ples are grown calls for liberal feeding, and the apple grow- | ers require additional means of re- venue and 'occupation in winter, These needs are being met at pre- sent by the keeping of dairy herds. But the objection to-this plan is that dairy herds require attention in winter as well as in summer, I hesitate about offering what has even Ihe appearance of advice; goodness knows, farmers are get- ting adv ce to burn just now. But would not a beaf cattle proposition, in which the bulk of the hand labor is called for in winter, bette" mesh the requirements of the case? A all events that is what F. B. Lovekin, possibly the largest indi- vidual apple orchard owner in On- tario, and whose holding is in the neighboring County of Du:ham, has found to be true. . Courage of His Teaching.

May we have favorable weather and bountiful harvest. The country needs, it. * I have been surprised and some- what amused at the way the city people actually blame the farmer for the high prices and the scarcity of foodstuffs, especially potatoes. In conversation with an old gentle- nan in Hamilton a few days ago I said it was going to be a pretty hard problem for the farmers to get seed potatoes this year. He says: "Good for him--1I don't feel one bit sorry for him. He will have to get after ft this vear better than he did last." 1 said do you 'think the farmer is to blame for the scarcity of potatoes last | year? "Sure thing," he says. "They are to lazy to work for their living." I quoted an instance. where a farmer I knew of, planted fourteen acres and didn't dig enough for his own use. "What would you do in a case like that?" I asked.' "Plant them over again," he says. "What else-ceuld he do?" 1 looked at him and said noth- ing. 1 felt compelled to respect his years if not'his knowledge. "+o you know that old gentleman is not altogether alone in his views. There are a great many people in the City of Hamilton who purpose plant- ing their backyards this year in or- der to raise their ow. potatoes. They don't seem to grasp the idea that with weather conditions like last year, forty backyards would fail to aise enough for one family. But their motive is good, we wouldn't dis- courage them for the world. I some- times think there is so much human nature in all of us that we fail to see and acknowledge the true source of all our blessings. We forget the giver of "every good and perfect gift."
