It is easy to let one's flesh creep over the reported attempts of mys- terious "foreign agents" to subvert our guileless electorate with foreign gold which are blazoned in bold type on Page One. But news of the real foreign menace crops up on the mild agricultural page, wedged be- tween a Canadian porker and the undertone of the butter market. It is a despatch to the effect that under the present seed act considerable quantities of uninspected seed is en- tering Canada, with an excellent prospect of introducing dangerous insect or disease pests, to say no- thing of noxious weed seeds. : It is an alarming prospect, for to let loose a mew pest upon our hard pressed farmers would surely mean that many of thet woull give up in despair.

Such dra- matic victories, hawever, are not of- ten won and man suffers many seri- ous and costly reverses in this war. , How curious is our sense of rela- ,| tive values when for the safety of the state we must clap a poor devil of a paid agitator or a miserable sneak thief into jail while we calmly glve admission to some insect like the corn borer of tussock moth which, unchecked, wiH destroy the foundations of our prosperity. It is safe to say that the Colorado beetle or potato bug has stolen more Cana- dian wealth than have all the sharps who ever looted a bank or sold a bogus oll share. Against insect ene- fnles a rigorous climate has hitherto coupons much preferable to a stiff- looking Mona Lisa. And as for our habit of suspending from our walls life-sized enlargements of our par- ents in massive gold frames, who dares condemn such an act of filial plety as an artistic crime? vi Even this little knowledge of pie- tures is extensive when placed against our blankness on the subject of sculpture.

News despatches record that the sugar camps are being made ready. The winter has been favorable to producing a flow of sap in that there has been prolonged frozen soil, but that alone does not insure a good seasod. Alternate freesing' and thawing after the trees are tapped, with no days too warm, are essen- tials to a plentiful flow, While the industry is a decadent one, due to the trees dying or being cut away, and the product is steadily diminishing, the demand for maple syrup Increases.
