The neces- sity for maintaining an all-Britislfi road to the cast is the first, and the; necessity of maintaining an all-Brit-‘ ish source of food supply is the secâ€" ond. In times of peace the world jogs along all right, and everybody wants to sell to Great Britain. But in a time of war it might be the highest form of strategy to starve out the people of this tight little island. Doubtless the British navy could keep the seas clear for the transit of British food, but it might pay Britain's enemies not to send their surplus goods this way. Cana- da can feed Great Britain’s millions for many a year to come. She should be enc°uraged to do so, and it will pay British statesmen to fos- ter the Canadian sentiment of loyalty and forward this great cause in every Way. At present you have a. big handicap in the monopoly of one line in the Northwest. I heard some extraordinary stories about the charges for interior traffic on the C. P.R.v If they be true. or half true, the scener you have another trans- continental competing route the bet- ter. The situation regarding the food supply 01' Great Brmain is quite in- telligible. The population of this country is so great that even were tormauon “Tune Lulu.Aygv‘..; -__1__l , at present. But in a. time of nation- al stress and difficulty many things would be altered and the end would be, a vast upheaval. in the conditions upon which land is here held. 11‘ the British farmer keeps in the front so in: as quality is concerned. no does not need to fear any foreign competitor. He is at the door of the market. if only his stud be the finest. After he has done his level best there is abundant room left in this big market for Canada and Bri- tain's other dependencies. It is", right to encourage those and not the strangers to feed us. and in the de- velopmem. of Canada. Great Britain has a, splendid opportunity for keep-3 in: the world at bay and riveting f her hold on the Great Britain across the seas.

Kekch wick. secretary of the ElucationDeâ€" partment of England made an, ad- dress on Nature Study, in which he said : its agricultural possibilities develop- .-d to the fullest degree there would still be. abundant room for Canadian produce. Under no conditions could we feed our population. Consequent- ly, the British farmer, being at the door of the lit-st market in the world, ought always be able to hold his own and have the best price for his produce. It is true that he cannot profess to. have this at present. To the. m'cruge mortal it is an astonishâ€" ing fact that there are square miles of derelict land within thirty miles under cultivation. dor cultivation no (litions of l-and and such as admitted o! ticn.

Further, as far as he was able, let him make idrawing‘s of the plot of groung and of the plants, and a writen statement of the progress and growth as he was able to observe it from week to week.

Ontario has the richest store of electriwl energy of any country in the world. It has these stores on its every side, and it can have them ac- ross countryâ€"by 21 Georgian Bay canal or 8. Trent Valley system. The waterpowers of Ontario never exhaust themselvyes. The coal stores of Pennsylvania. are being rapidly ex- hausted. Foreign labor troubles cannot disorganize the distribution. of Ontario electrical energy like it has disorganized the distribution of Pennsylvania. coal in this country. Never was so. great an issue'put up to a. Canadian legislature as is the one now up. to the members of the Ontario House; """ . The greatest of all Ontario’s store of electrical energy is at Niagara. Falls. It can be economically dis- tributed from the Falls as far east as Cobourg, as far north as Barrie, as far west as London. It can be distributed to every farm house and every factory in any of the counties within a. hundred and fifty mile ra- dius. It. is for the farmers of On'tario to demand that. this greatest of- all blessings "be consecrated to the use of all the people. at cost. price. The power monopoly that. is seek- ing. to control the Niagara. Falls water wheels has done all those things. Itfis for the farmers of Ontario ‘0 rise 'as a man and put a stop to this business. Electrical energy makw the best light, the most reliable power. There is enough power at the Falls to drive the machinery on every farm in Old Onatrio, to light. every farm house, every dwelling, to drive all our factories, to run all our trolley linesâ€"present and prospective. The available electrical. energy pos- sessed by Ontario is the greamt blessing Yor all the people that. Pro- vidence ever bestowed On any coun- try. This blessing must be kept for the people, for the farmers of Ontario. If it is given to monopolies. as some of it has been given to monopolies, the people will be refused its use ,ex- cept at monopolistic prices. Mono- polistic corporations do not work for the people, but to enslave the peeplc. They are not content to go into business as ordinary individuals go into businessâ€"they seek to enrich themselves behind public franchises, agreements with municipalitim, legis~ lation, unfair laws, the corruption of legislatures. the chloroforming of the officers of the law, the manipulation of the press. “Hill” «OM ac, uuu u. u.â€" ..7 , ion of humor by the 1m nunâ€"who likely don't eat it.
