The public has not hither- to been fully appraised of the scope of its activities or of the splendid results it has accomplished. Patrons of hotels and restaurants know something of the restrictions it has imposed; flour manufacturers, bak- ers, candy and biscuit makers and others have heen obliged to submit to its rulings, but for the most part ity recommendations have depended on voluntary rather than enforced respect. The board has pointed nu: the, way by which Canadians could conserve the food supply; it has tm- pressed upon our people the great need of more food averseas: it has appealed to the patriotic spirit of every man and woman in order to secure their co-operation. That leadership, that instruction, thas appeal, have not been in vain. The resubls of the campaign furnish ample proof to this effect. The Canada Food Board has Just Issued a brief but impressive re- sume of the work that it has aceom- plished. From it we quote the fol- lowing facts: Net exports from Canada of beef have been increased by nearly 75, 000,000 1bs. per annum, an increase of 6,705 per cent. aver the average net exports for 1910<1914. Net exports of pork have heen n= eriticism And now since Lansdowne has be come such a pacifist it is suggested that he should be forced out of the chairmanship of the British Red Cross Commission, Up west the papers are asking their "How, are you standing the In Kingston the heat is very We the goalest city readers, heat?" temperate in Ontirio are W.

This country is now producing enough butter to meet domestic requirements and, In aldition, ig exporting at the net rate of more than 4,000,000 Ibs. per annum. It is estimated that Canada ex- ported at least 25 to 30 per cent. more wheat during the last twelve months than could have been ex- ported had it not been for the ef- forts for conservation and organiza- tion of this country's food resources.
